by Fausto A. Pifferrer (Author), Reuben P. Bell (Associate Editor), Jill D. Bell (As Told to)
Event industry veteran and popular national speaker Fausto Pifferrer offers memories, Pro Tips, and industry insight from his nearly 40-year career in weddings, event planning, catering, and the worlds of social and corporate/trade events. Temporary Friends traces his path while he shares observations from his humble beginnings four decades ago, as the child of Cuban immigrants in Philadelphia in the 1960s, through his career in Philadelphia and throughout New England.
"This book is for seasoned event planning professionals and those new to the field. Fausto and Reuben generously share their years of experience, providing valuable tips, tricks, and entertaining anecdotes. Temporary Friends stresses the importance of continually networking and learning about the industry while reminding us to never forget our roots and the journey that brought us here. It also emphasizes that clients may be temporary friends, but our professional partners are forever friends."
- Suzi McMerty Shands, Co-President of Mintahoe Catering & Events"Catering newcomers and seasoned pros will benefit from reading Temporary Friends: A Caterers Guide to the Perfect Day. Fausto connects with people quickly like a long-time friend, setting them at ease to share their ideas and concerns. In turn, they are receptive to his recommendations. He exhibits another remarkable trait of the top caterers - Fausto is a mentor. He is always sharing, coaching, and encouraging others to be their best! Encouragement is the big takeaway of his new book, which is sprinkled with stories of experiences, creativity, and overcoming many challenges with resiliency!"
- Roy Porter, Micheal Roman Catering Lifetime Achievement Recipient"Fausto is a living masterclass - his decades of experience and creative genius empower and inspire hundreds of pros every year. He's not a "do as I say, not as I do" expert. His innovative problem-solving and logistical prowess are techniques he actually uses. They help not only craft a successful event, but also a memorable experience for clients and their guests. Most of all, everything Fausto does not only turns to gold but is done with heart - love for his clients, his staff, and the industry upon which he has made an indelible mark. Undoubtedly, this book will be one you will constantly reference in your journey as a wedding professional."
- Terrica, Owner Cocktails and Details"With decades of experience and the passion Fausto has for this industry is unparalleled. Giving each event everything! Fausto has been the voice for vendors and how they can work together for a successful event. Working and thoughtfully thinking of every need and detail, he builds that relationship better than anyone!"
