Festival & Event Management More on the Shore Showcase Market

When our friends at the South Shore Tourism Cooperative (SSTC) were looking to initiate a Pop-Up Market program for their members we knew the perfect place to launch it AND the perfect time of year for that inaugural event. After creating the logo, handling all member correspondence – we teamed up with the Chester Yacht Club to host the very first ever MORE ON THE SHORE Festival during their world-renowned Chester Race Week. It was exciting to manage all pre-event and on-the-day details, and amidst a very soggy summer we were thrilled to celebrate on a sunshiny Saturday in the Seaside Village complete with live entertainment, balloon artists, face painters and the Nova Scotia’s South Shore’s 1st-Ever SHOWCASE MARKET featuring a great collection of merchants, artisans, creators and tourism teams from Barrington to Peggy’s Cove. MORE ON THE SHORE is now set to be an annual event during Chester Race Week and the plan for the SSTC’s Showcase Market will see them happen quarterly with the next one taking place during their forthcoming Christmas Crawl Festival.

Festival & Event Management Chester Village Christmas

We LOVE CHRISTMAS so were thrilled when the Chester Merchants asked us to manage their 2021 Chester Village Christmas Festival. Three days full of festive fun including the Big Tree Lighting Event with Santa’s Arrival and all the other traditional events like the fun fair and pet parade, plus a new outdoor merry market along Pleasant Street, the Gingerbread Gallery & Contest and Celebration of Trees Charity Event. It takes a village to host a festival this magical so naturally orchestrating all the elements took some solid planning in advance and some stellar skills on site. Beyond the management Rae of Hope created all the design elements, produced the radio campaign and managed the social media side as well including content creation and website management.

Behold…The Swinimer Family Reunion and what a time it was! How lucky we were to curate every aspect of this gathering including venue sourcing in peak season for 55 folks ages eight months to eighty something. After deciding on the legendary White Point Beach Resort came the great fun of programming the three days – with every aspect coming under our management – from arrivals, accommodations and room drops to meal planning, room decor and entertainment, to check out and send off. We loved having a client who trusted us to think of everything and then some!

If you need someone to manage your event or festival – please drop us a line. We’d be so pleased to discuss the opportunity and chat about how to make it the happiest one yet! For more information on Rae of Hope Productions’ Services just click here.

CHESTER RACE WEEK

Chester Race Week

“We reached out to Stephanie just a few weeks before Chester Race Week, hoping she could help us with our social media, and she jumped right in. She came up with some very creative reels and produced content that was polished, professional, and fun, elevating our online presence. She brought great energy and enthusiasm, knew exactly what we needed, and exceeded our expectations. Stephanie was a real pleasure to work with, and we’re so grateful for the excellent work she delivered for Race Week.”

Got Your Back Apparel

“Launching a brand comes with hundreds of boxes to tick, and Stephanie helped us focus on what truly mattered. She didn’t feel like a consultant — she felt like an owner, fully invested and growing the company right alongside us. From marketing and promotions to our online shop and in-person markets, she brought clarity, momentum, and confidence at every step. Her passion, attention to detail, and genuine belief in what we were building made all the difference. I highly recommend working with her!”

ROCK THE FIDDLE

Rock the Fiddle

“We were thinking about launching our inaugural festival when we realized we had no social media, or even a website. We figured we would have to delay our launch to get it sorted. We contacted Stephanie Beaumont and within 24 hours we had full social media presence, a landing page and the structure for our website, and she even created our graphic branding which will live on as our permanent festival brand. More impressive than that, within 5 days under Stephanie’s social media management, we had over 1000 followers on our event page. We contracted Stephanie to manage our social media leading up to our event and she was a rock star! We simply couldn’t have done it without her.”

South Shore Tourism Cooperative

“It was a true pleasure working with Stephanie to create visitsouthshore.ca. Stephanie’s unique ability to weave business details into stories creates a picture in the mind of the would-be travel that has them standing on Nova Scotia’s South Shore while still seated at home planning their visit.

Stephanie writes with enthusiasm and delight that can be felt in each word she puts on the page. When the task at hand is to create not only the want to travel but to ensure the destination is chosen as THE spot to travel to, Stephanie’s ability to create an emotional connection and to elicit memories was a perfect fit.

Stephanie’s level of understanding allows her to look at the site from the visitor, the organization and the businesses being represented points of view. She kept us focused on our concept while ensuring the fun flag was always waving!

Stephanie was a true joy to work with and we appreciate the continued relationship! We can’t imagine telling Nova Scotia’s South Shore story without her.”

Lunenburg Board of Trade

“Working with Stephanie on our Shop Local campaign was an absolute dream! She was full of creative ideas, professional guidance, and the work she did was always, always top-notch.

She answered every silly question I had and really took the time to explain the why’s behind everything and make sure I understood the process. We now have a fully formed marketing campaign that can be easily rolled out in future years thanks to Stephanie’s fantastic work.

In addition to the quality work she produces, she’s also got a wonderful, enthusiastic personality and is a blast to work with! – I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for help with a variety of marketing and design needs –  and I hope to be able to work with her again in the future.”

The Year Round Vegetable Gardener

“Jumping from radio and writing into TV was both fun and easy with the experienced guidance of Stephanie from Rae of Hope Productions.

She crafted a high-quality pilot that received rave reviews from gardeners across Canada and the US who tuned in to hone their gardening skills. She’s professional, creative, knowledgeable, and most of all, enthusiastic, which made me comfortable every step of the way.”

Niki Jabbour

“Stephanie was wonderful to work with – full of exuberance, yet professional and focused. Her preparation ahead of time made filming easy and enjoyable, and the end result was loved by our whole Board of Directors.

With her guidance and expertise, the entire project ran on time, on budget, and with no stress at all.

Thank you, Stephanie!”

Tourism Chester

“Stephanie led the Tourism Chester program for us for a little over two years helping us build it from the ground up.

She was a great addition to the team, bringing an incredible amount of energy and creativity to the role and was always coming up with new and innovative ideas to expand the program.”

Erin Lowe

Economic Development Officer, Municipality of Chester

The Chester Playhouse Theatre

“What a wonderful experience I had in working with Stephanie. When The Chester Playhouse suspended programming due to the pandemic, we were faced with a dark stage – a cancelled season and no way to entertain our audience. However, like us, Stephanie knew the show must go on so she suggested we host our very own radio program and as a result, The Chester Playhouse Radio Show was created! Not only did Stephanie do the research, write, and produce the 2-hour weekly broadcast – she jumped on to co-host with me. The 9-week campaign allowed us to reach our loyal patrons, grow our audience, and thank our generous sponsors all while keeping the Chester Playhouse Theatre brand centre stage in our community. It was truly fun and oh so fortuitous!”

Roma Dingwell

Digby Area Learning Association

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Stephanie while developing a new website for our organization. Stephanie’s enthusiasm, creativity, and ability to accurately envision our needs was a huge plus.  It was apparent that customer satisfaction is a top priority for Stephanie as she worked very diligently to ensure that the final result met our expectations.

I can easily say that they not only met expectations but exceeded them. She took the extra steps to make sure we understood the concepts of marketing, branding, and communication, and I feel I learned a lot from her in a very lot from her in a short period of time.  I would certainly recommend Stephanie Beaumont and her company, Rae of Hope Productions for any of your marketing needs.”
