Hello NW Wedding Professionals!
Another month of 2009 wedding season has come and gone. August was a crazy month, wasn’t it? For some reason though, 2009 season seems to go right up through the end of September and into October this year. Keeping my fingers crossed for plenty more good weather. It was certainly a bit dicey this weekend. Torrential downpours and outdoor weddings keep everyone hopping.
August weddings took me to some of the most wonderful wedding venues and introduced me to so many wedding professionals. As mentioned in an earlier email, I was at The Royal Oaks Country Club, The Ainsworth House, The Aerie at Eagle landing, Canby Flower Farm, The Kelty House and The Broetje House. Every venue was very professional, courteous and beautiful.
August 22nd took me back up to Washington again for a wedding at The Fairgate Inn. Seeing the word “Inn” and “B&B” always brings to mind visions of quaint, small and cozy. Well, this place is certainly NOT that. The Fairgate Inn is the most grand estate I’ve ever seen. It looks like The White House in Washington DC! It is so elegant, spacious, and perfect for weddings. The banquet room is very large, the outdoor garden is perfect for the ceremony and the staff is wonderful. It was great working with Mike Moore of Big Screen presentations again as DJ and MC.
That same day I had a wedding at Willamette Valley Country Club in Canby. Another very nice venue in Clackamas County in a beautiful wooded setting, surrounded by a golf course. Rick, of Shadow Master photography did a wonderful job of capturing every moment. Shane, of Hurricane DJ provided music for the entire event.
Ok, I could go on and on about all of the wonderful venues and vendors but there are just too many to mention. So, just one last shout out to Anthony Wedin of Sound Choice entertainment for a wonderful job done at Edgefield, to Jonathan of Voila Catering (incredible food as usual) and to Amanda of Pretty in Portland. Thank you all for providing wonderful service at weddings this month. Great working with you all again.
Now on to new business. The next NW Wed Pro NWWP Network meeting is less than one week away! It is on a Monday this time.
