Wedding Professionals
Excuse me for getting sentimental but I work with the greatest wedding professonals in the world! I have been looking back on the last 14 years that I have been in business. During that time I have forged some great partnerships with wedding professionals. These people have enriched my life in so many ways ~ both professionally and personally.
I have never met a group of people so willing to step up to whatever challenge faces them. Everyone is willing to step up to the plate and help each other. Its this “can do” attitude that I love.
What other profession is like that? I can’t think of a single one.
So if you will please pardon my waxing nostalgic, I love all the wedding professionals I have the privilege of working with and those that I have yet to meet.

Every once in awhile I get the opportunity to plan a 60th birthday party, a 25th anniversary party or some other non-wedding event. As much as I love doing weddings, it is fun to step away from that and have the chance to help put together another kind of party.
This weekend I had the opportunity to plan a political event at a private home. It was great fun to select food, linens and pull all the details together. Weddings are always fraught with emotion and that comes with the territory but doing an event such as a political fundraiser, relieve me of that emotional component. It helps keep me grounded. I love planning a great party with good food and fun people. I always want guests to leave feeling they were well fed and well informed.
When I come back to doing weddings, I am refreshed and have a better prespective. It keeps me from getting stale. After all, variety is the spice of life.

Back by popular demand! We are offering another seminar called “Ask the Experts”. This will provide brides with all the information they need to take with them to the various wedding shows they will attend. We will help “prep” them. In addition, there will be some surprises.
As soon as the details are finalized, I will let you know. Keep coming back to the Blog so we can update you. My job is to arm the brides with the best information so when they are choosing their wedding professionals, they are well informed and will make good decisions. Because as we all know, there are no “do overs” when it comes to weddings.

Sally and I just got back from two days in beautiful Asheville, NC. We attended an ABC seminar at the Renaissance Hotel where Samantha Goldberg (”whose wedding is it any way?”) and Greg of The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants spoke.
One thing I have learned over the years is that there is always something new to learn! After fourteen years in the business, it was fun to hear some new approaches to my business. It is re-energizing and I came away feeling great and with a renewed commitment to the business that I love.
Sally and I also had some time to explore Asheville with its distinct personality and abundance of creatively talented artists. We also found some fabulous places to eat. Tupelo Honey Restaurant with wonderful, authentic fried green tomatoes and Bouchon a fabulous French Comfort Food restaurant with a quaint courtyard that made you feel like you were in Paris. Asheville is a unique and a jewel in the mountains of North Carolina.
