One Way To "WOW" Your Client

Ever want to "WOW" your client? Ever want your client to feel like they are the best thing since Banana Cream Pie?  By the way, Banana Cream Pie is my favorite dessert. :)  A couple of years ago, I added “Assistance with Guest Hotel Accommodations” to my wedding package.  This is an excellent service to offer to your client.  It is one less thing they have to stress about.  I collaborated with Farrah Tuavaa of Helmsbriscoe, an expert in the hospitality industry.  Did I mention that she is also an expert in negotiating room rates, yeah she is!   I have the best clients, and I refer the best vendors. 

Now you are probably wondering how much does this service cost. Are you ready for this?  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!  This is every wedding planner’s dream.  I am fortunate to have met Farrah and to be able to offer her service as part of my wedding package.  How much better can you get in the eyes of your client, you relieve them from the hassle of calling around to several hotels for their guest at no additional cost. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that you have placed your client in the hands of someone who knows their stuff and has their best interest at heart.  It is a WIN, WIN situation for everyone.

Wedding planners, is this a service that you would like to add to your wedding package?   Bride and Groom, is this a service that you would like to see offered by your wedding planner?  If so, Farrah Tauvaa is your vendor.

A Soolip Wedding | Bel-Air Bay Club

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my Blog today. Lately I’ve attended quite a few Bridal Shows and still have more to attend.  Last Sunday I attended A Soolip Wedding 2012.  A Soolip Wedding began in 1999 and this was the first that I attended.  Not only was I excited about the show, but I was also excited about meeting Wanda Wen.  I attended an event a few years ago hosted by Ladies Who Launch where Wanda was a guest speaker along with a couple of other business owners from Sprinkles and Spanx.  I didn’t get the opportunity to meet Wanda at that event so I was not going to pass up the opportunity this time. Yep!  I met her and she was as pleasant as I thought she would be.  All smiles! 

This year A Soolip Wedding was held at Bel-Air Bay Club. As I entered the room, everything was nicely displayed. The flow of room was smooth, no traffic jams. (LOL!) The ladies at the registration table handed me a nice booklet with a map showing the locations of all the vendors.  As a vendor attending the show it was perfect because I was there to see only a few vendors who showcased.  If you’re anything like me, before you arrive you already know who you want to see.  Now, I didn’t have to waste time looking for those vendors.

A Soolip Wedding 2012 was a curate collection of designers, artisans, experts and individuals who all endeavor to share their creative passions with each Bride as they navigate through the planning of their wedding day, one of the most poignant events of their life.  I love Wanda’s idea of a perfect wedding.

 “A perfect wedding is one in which the unexpected events and surprises turn into the most glorious and memorable moments.  It is one in which the smallest of details are tended to, and where each and every guest feels special, considered and honored.  It is one in which the wedding and all of its elements reflect you and your partner, and not anybody else.  And finally, a perfect wedding is one in which the process of getting married is as fun as the wedding day itself, and that the meaning behind getting married is not lost in the process.” 

Oh, let’s not forget about the delicious appetizers, cakes and champagne tasting.  I saw old friends and met new ones, and I left with a fabulous gift bag.  What a wonderful day!

A special thank you to Jen O’Sullivan who always provide wonderful photos.

Below are just some of the great vendors at the show.

Industry Event | The Reveal at Unici Casa

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of networking with old and new colleagues.  The purpose of the event was the launch of a new venue, Unici Casa located in Culver City, California hosted by California Wedding Day.

I met up with a couple of friends from the Beverly Hills Hotel and as we walked the floor of this awesome venue, we were very impressed with what we saw.  Huntington Catering Company's food was yummy, Platinum Party Rentals’ furniture was jaw dropping, the models wore designs by R-Mine and best of all, the music great. While Elan Artists played on one of end of the venue, 11H Entertainment played on the other. Both groups drew large crowds that were singing along with the music and dancing the night away.

All I have to say is that it was a night of great entertainment, yummy food and beautiful fashions. Fun event!

Please check out Unici Casa and come back to this post and tell me what you think.  I see lots of ways to transpose this venue.  What about you? 

An Evening with David Tutera: myfair Wedding with Wetv.com

Congratulations David on your success. Thank you for paving the way for me.
