Ribbon Cutting Guidelines

• Ribbon cuttings are your event. The Chamber is on hand to celebrate with you. Additional promotion of your event to increase attendance and awareness of your celebration outside of those mentioned above are your responsibility. Please do not rely solely on the Chamber to attract your audience.
• Please determine in advance who you would like in your photo and where you would like the ribbon cutting and photos to take place.
• The Chamber staff will take photos however we are not professional photographers. If you would like additional photos of your celebration and attendees, we encourage you to utilize a professional photographer.
• Any food and beverage provided is your responsibility and we would be happy to share a listing of chamber member catering organizations with you.
