NWWP Network meetings of the NW Wed Pro's


Hello to all of you NW Wed Pro’s! Have you survived the weekend so far? I hope that you are all swamped with weddings.
I had the most wonderful weekend working with some of the best wedding professionals in the area. I want to share with you some of the highlights.

Thursday evening I had the pleasure of performing a wedding at Bell Tower Chapel in Boring, Oregon. It was an outdoor ceremony in extreme heat but the huge, ancient oak tree provide shade to 100 people. The bride looked absolutely stunning, thanks to the work of hair and make-up artist Amanda Florio Everly of Pretty In Portland. The bride was also extremely happy with the cake that Melissa of Sweet Cakes created from the design and fabric swatches that the bride had provided her with. I also got to tasted the wonderful BBQ feast provided by Smokin Jim’s Bar-B-Que. Yummy. DJ services by Steve Strain of Rose City Mobile music kept everyone entertained.

Friday evening I had the honor of performing at The Bell Tower chapel yet again. This ceremony was held indoors and we were all very appreciative of the NEW air conditioning system that had recently been installed.

Saturday morning I was happy to perform at the Oaks Pioneer Church and have a chance to see the wonderful ladies that coordinate the venue.

Saturday afternoon was The Best Wedding Ever! It was my first time at The Holy Names Heritage Center in Lake Oswego. What a fantastic venue! The layout is perfect. I was also very happy to arrive and see the van from SeriousCake.com! I had just met Seri at our last networking meeting and now I got to see her in action. The cake was beautiful and it was no easy task in this hot weather. The best part was the groom’s cake. She created from sugar, a bow tie wearing- penguin band, complete with instruments and everything, to top the cake. (the groom is a musician and composer). Everyone praised the floral arrangements provided by Jennifer at Forte Floral. The bride and groom thanked me profusely for referring Jennifer to them. They loved her! The table centerpiece arrangements and the cocktail room centerpiece were simply amazing! I also had the pleasure of meeting Sue of Purple Iris Weddings as coordinator and planner, the DJ from Taylor Events, Jonathan of Voila Catering and Chris of CL Steele photography. Everyone worked so well together that the event ran perfectly smooth. Great job everyone!

Kudos to all of the wedding pro’s that I worked with this weekend. Your hard work and great service made the wedding couple’s Dream Wedding Day come true!

I hope to see everyone at the next NWWP Networking meeting in August on the 19th at The Broetje House in Milwaukie. We have three featured vendors lined up already so we only have room for one more. Any caterers or wineries want to snatch it up??? We all LOVE what YOU bring! J

I’m working on getting us a great guest speaker too for the educational portion of the night.
Don’t forget to r.s.v.p. August NWWP meeting if you are planning to attend.
Thanks! Have a great week.
