What’s your favorite part of the job?
My favorite part of the job is the first few moments of any event. To see the physical manifestation of someone’s vision, sweat, tears and good intentions is why I do what I do. I’ve been planning a long time and those first few moments always get me.
What should a bride know about your expertise and experience?
My whole team is made up our rock stars that have been in the business for over ten years! We all have the things we are really fantastic at and one of the cornerstones of our business is to match each client with the planner that is going to help them the most. Patty has coordinated weddings and other fantastic functions for over ten years. Benita is a Certified Meeting Planner who has been involved in the event industry for over thirty years who focuses on business functions. I’ve been planning events for fifteen years and am the go-to gal for offbeat events and fundraisers. Our tech team is incredible and can achieve the impossible.
How did you get to where you are today?
I am where I am today by having a diverse mix of experiences and gleaning what I to help me in the future.
In what ways do you take a leadership role in the wedding community?
I try to do my best to be an active part of the wedding professional’s community. I attend networking events, speak at them when asked and participate as much as I can. I also put together the My Wedding My Way wedding event every spring so that traditional and beyond couples have a resource for their weddings.
How is your business different from your competitors?
We are different than our competitors in several ways. We are an inclusive venue. Our wedding package includes lots of event rental time, linens, set-up, clean-up, and on-site coordinator, decorations and more… We are also incredibly affordable!
What is your range of services?
We offer everything from a classroom rental to conference services to a full-service wedding vendor.
What other wedding professionals do we like working with?
Everyone! We love some of our old faves… Pinhole Photographic, Lauren Bentley Photography, First Light Photography, Millennium Sound, Lucinda Larson, the list goes on… But, we ALWAYS love meeting new vendors! It’s fantastic to work with vendors that know their trade and it’s exciting to work with vendors new to the trade!
