Nothing makes you feel more like a star than seeing your company logo on the Jumbo Screen at Dodger Stadium. Thanks to Mary Sushinski of Occasions, Lina Wallace of A Stunning Affair and Monique Matlock of The Knot, A Sweet Design provided pastries to over 300 guests. Capturing the event was no other than Red Loft Studios. I can’t wait until they post pictures.
Brittni and I had a great time eating the yummy crab legs provided by The Dodger Stadium Catering Company. Then it was off to Shutter Booth for some great snap shots. To cap the evening off…and rest my sore feet, I had a steaming hot latte from The Cappuccino Connection (who had an amazing display of all their fancy machines) along with a just-from-the-fryer-donut from The Fry Girl Inc. I was secretly craving those donuts since I found out they would be there.
I had a great time and am really glad to have participated in the event with The Knot. Thank you!!!!

Veronique Events
Last Wednesday night, I had a great time sipping champagne, enjoying crepes, for the grand opening of Veronique Events, Los Angeles location. Mimi Teller was snapping shots of guests and models. All the photos above are courtesy of Mimi Teller.
Veronique went all out on decor to create a very chic lounge feel. Draped in white fabric, with wonderful chandeliers hanging above. Oliver Ifergan Atelier was responsible for the look of the gorgeous models who impressed us in the designs of Amal of Beverly Hills. Each dress was more amazing than the next. Models showed off beautiful bridesmaids dressess that were so stunning and detailed. Amal has a great eye for detail and womens fashion.
Guests enjoyed the chocolate delights of Gourmandise along with cupcakes from A Sweet Design. We all enjoyed the cappuccino’s from Lattes on Location courtesy of Maria Dumas. I had two!!!

Brubaker Photography
Lee Brubaker spent the morning with the staff of A Sweet Design capturing some of our cake orders for the day along with some display cakes. We had a blast. She was snapping away even while we were in the middle of piping on a cake. There was no stopping Lee, she even climbed up on a chair to capture the cake from a different view. One client who came to pick up her cake during the photo shoot said “She enoyed Lee’s photo style and hadn’t seen a photographer put so much passion into each shot before”.

It’s Monday and her wedding is Saturday…my sweet bride (which we will name Princess instead of revealing her true name) just called me and asked for a referral. Princess needs a DJ because hers has backed out. I referred her to my website which has a list of vendors who would never think of canceling on a client 6 days before the event!!!!
I feel so bad for Princess and wish that she had a….COORDINATOR!!!! A certified, experienced event coordinator. A truly professional organizer and planner. An event planner at this very moment in time would be calling every DJ in her rolodex, handeling the situation..allowing Princess to enjoy her out-of-town guests and all the fun details that come with being a bride-to-be
What will it take for Grooms and Brides to realize that a coordinator is part of the process of planning a wedding and not an addedd expense. Budget for matches as keepsakes but don’t consider an Event Planner that will execute all the plans and ideas that took 10 months to create. I DON’T get it. Magazine after magazine shows us spreads of amazing and elaborate weddings…they didn’t happen by chance. An event planner orchestrated the masterpiece in those pages. Most likely 10 things went wrong along the way, but a fantastic event planner would never let you know about a single one of them
My moto: Friends don’t let friends use them as “coordinators”. Friends give friends the number of a PBC (Professional Bridal Consultant)
