Erin & Matthew's Wedding

Well, what can I say about working with Erin, the most organized bride I've ever seen! What a dream. Not only organized, Erin is extremely talented and creative. Mary and I really loved and appreciated the opportunity to work with Erin and her family to create her dream wedding. With over 700 guests in attendance, the event was flawless. We were fortunate enough to work with several event specialists that we know and love as well as a few that we finally got to work with! The 3 days of prep on the Exhibit Hall was a true transformation. Media Solutions Inc. nailed it with the pipe & drape and especially the lighting. Janice, at Town & Country Party Rentals, spent 3 days on ladders and booms hanging various matterials to create an amazing backdrop and center aisle ceiling swag that drew your focus right to the head table as you entered the room. Not the easiest job considering they had to work around the synthetic grass that we brought in for the center aisle and dance floor! Shannon at the Exhibit Hall at The Convention Center was fantastic working with all the scheduling that had to go down with an event of this magnitude. I was amazed at the timing that Pardini's served every single guest ~ with a hot meal!! Check out the cake ~ It was made by Sweet Dreams from a picture of Erin's parents wedding cake 30 years ago! So unique and a perfect personal touch. Gentile's Flower Basket went above and beyond. The centerpieces were perfect and created the finishing touch on the room.

The pictures you see are from Johnny Stafford Photography http://www.johnnystaffordphotography.com/ WOW!!! Simply amazing! Mary and I really enjoyed working with Johnny and Cindy for the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

Hannah's Sweet 16

WOW! There's nothing like celebrating a Sweet 16 Birthday ~ CARNIVAL Style!! From the Red Carpet entrance to the Photo Booth beyond the Party Room, this party will never be forgotten! I am so grateful to the event specialist who worked on this event with me. Thank you so much for helping me create such a fun event.


Miss Hannah ~ Happy Birthday!!
The Red Carpet entrance (ok, ok, it was purple! ) was a perfect welcome and photo opportunity for Hannah's 115 guests. The Samba Dance Troupe greeted the guests upon arrival with the beating of thier drums and the authentic Brazilian dance styles. Dinner was ready as soon as the VIP, Hannah and her guests entered into Rio Grill. The food was AMAZING! And so much of it!

As dinner was over, the Samba Dance Troup danced about the guests and especially, Hannah.

They were so energetic and their costumes beautiful! The Troupe finished with a parade that led the guests outside the building and back in ~ yes the drums are very loud and we drew quite the crowd!!

Hannah and her Mother, Brenda D. Lavell, our gracious host.

Hannah and her softball team ~ looking fantastic!!

Red Velvet . . . need I say more?! Well, maybe Laura's Specialty

which is my absolute favorite. Sweet Dreams rocked the cupcakes!

I love this addition to the cupcakes Little details

make a huge difference!

Who doesn't love the candy table???

The Samba Dance Troupe making Hannah one of their own!!

These people can make some NOISE!!!!

Hannah had a blast dancing with the Troupe.

The back room of the Rio Grill was a surprise to the guests and dubbed "The Party Room"! As we unveiled the curtain guests entered the room that Janice at Town & Country drapped in Hot Pink, Eggplant and Lime. The room sparkled from the lighting cast onto the jeweled chandelier. Todd Henry from AMS wasted no time getting the party started!!! Our photographers, Craig & Jeff pulled double duty with the Grand Entrance photos and the Party Booth Photos! SO FUN!!

Another great event, thanks to all the fantastic event specialists! Thank you!!!
