Pick us! BizBash Expo & Awards

Recently we were delighted to receive an email from BizBash asking for submissions to the BizBash Event Style Awards. We were even more excited to see a "Best Video for an Event" category and knew right away that we had to apply with one of our favorite films this year-The New Group honors Ethan Hawke (see post here!).

Every year BizBash honors the best of the best in the field of corporate and non- profit event planning and creativity. The awards are handed out in NY, LA and Toronto bringing the event industry together to celebrate their own. This year the BizBash Event Style Awards will be held in conjunction with the BizBash Expo on October 21, 2009 at the Jacob Javits Center.

So, wish us luck! We will be sure to keep you updated!

Sacred bridal babble....

As many of you might know, I got married last September 2008 in New York City at the Angel Orensanz Foundation. I lived through the highs and lows of planning a wedding, survived the boot camp of decision making and came through a winner-the wedding of our dreams!

The folks at New York Magazine Weddings contacted me a few months back to participate in a roundtable discussion with a group of other recent brides to dish the dirt on wedding planning, hopefully saving some future brides & grooms a little wedding anxiety! The session went on for 4 hours-I guess we had a lot to share!

The biggest piece of advice I have? Pick 1 or 2 things that are really important to you and focus on personalizing those, all the rest will fall into place!

My gift to you, future brides...Enjoy!
