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.
Please comment below about this service.

An Example Of A Timeless Wedding...I Think!
Hello there! Thank you for stopping by my Blog today. I'm a big believer that everything in your wedding should be Timeless ~ the photos, wedding gown, decor and so forth. You should be able to look back 10 years from now and everything still look classic. When I think of a Timeless wedding, I tend to think of the wedding of Jacqueline
Lee Bouvier, 24 and John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, 36. Both helped influence and redefine fashion and classic
American elegance for decades.
They were married on the morning of September 12, 1953, at St.
Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Newport, Rhode Island. The church was decorated with pink gladioli and white chrysanthemums. Jackie walked down the aisle with her stepfather, Hugh D. Auchbishop Richard Cushing of Boston. With more than eight
hundred guests followed by a reception held on a 300 acre oceanfront estate, Hammersmith
Farm, attended by more than twelve hundred guests.
Jacqueline wore a gorgeous ivory tissue silk dress, with a portrait neckline, fitted
bodice, and a bouffant skirt embellished with bands of more than fifty yards of
flounces. Her rose point lace veil, worn first by her grandmother Lee, was
draped from a tiara of lace and orange blossoms. Jacqueline wore a choker of
pearls and a diamond bracelet that was a gift from the John. Her
bouquet was of pink and white spray orchids and gardenias. Timeless! Elegant! Classic!
When you think of a Timless wedding, who's wedding do you think of?

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.
