WHO'S IN YOUR NETWORK?

Once again...Networking event success! Lovlies...I am just a little late posting this up, since the event has happened, but it was WONDERFUL! I was battling a wicked cold that week of the event, but I made it there...though extremely tired and worn! LOL!




The new Westin Hotel in Annapolis is EVERYTHING! The event was hosted by The Perfect Wedding Guide. They have a wonderful online space as well as a powerful mini-magazine that is FULL of event goodies! I did not know what to expect at a luncheon that was in the middle of the day and during the week...but I was pleasantly surprised at the PACKED turnout! It was like a wedding reception in the noontime! LOVED it!





























I hob-nobbed...of course...with some of the greats in the biz, including Lynyette Richardson-Hall of "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway" fame. Very sweet and I truly believe that she does not know how many people ADORE her, but I made sure to let her know! LOL!



























































































































































All-in-all it was excellent company, srumptious food and a business card exchange on overdrive! I must say, it gave me a sense of accomplishment to be in the same company of other "creatives" like myself. The new Westin Annapolis is georgeous and my pictures don't even do it justice...but PLEASE check them out, if ever scooting by the Annapolis area....I already have some brides inquiring of the new place, so I look forward to hosting an event there! Also, I hear that another new Holiday Inn Hotel is launching in Baltimore...and you better believe...YOUR GIRL will be there... ;)



Stay Lovely!

I'm Engaged!

Okay, maybe not engaged for marriage...since I am already taken by my sweetie! I mean that I am engaged in the Event Planning Business! Lovlies, I just got back from the most wonderful afternoon with the Great Preston Bailey (Event Designer) and Sylvia Weinstock (Cake Designer)! They were guest speakers for Engaged! Magazine's Bridal Event at the Willard Hotel in Washington, DC. It was a wonderful turnout and the featured vendors were awesome! Preston did a book signing and Sylvia worked the crowd, taking pictures and chatting with her many fans. I also made some friends during the day...a wonderful and talented group of young people that I will be keeping in touch with! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You...It was meant for all of us to meet... :) It was absolutely amazing to be in the company of so many great vendors and engaged ladies looking to two of the masters for inspiration!

Preston gave a wonderful talk on his inspirations, failures, highs and lows of the business. He acknowledges that he is still learning and continues to get inspired himself...hence his new book Inspirations. Click his picture for more information!





























Sylvia may be tiny in stature, but she has a big heart and big ideas. She mentioned how she and her staff WELCOME a challenge! She also spoke of her early days in the business and how much she has enjoyed watching the business evolve. She is truly an inspiring woman to meet and chat with!
