That is what Robin would say if he saw this venue. J Holy Names Heritage Center was the beautiful setting of this month’s NW Wed Pro meeting.
Hello NW Wed Pro’s!
We had an great meeting this month at a little known wedding venue. The Heritage Center was built 2 years ago, yet it has the exterior look and feel of the 100 year old buildings on the campus. Beautiful architecture, state of the art design, water features and gardens, high ceilings, natural light and a great floor plan. Their new website pages to promote them as a wedding venue is coming soon!
We had a great turnout for this meeting. Thank you all! A quick recap of the meeting:
Registering at the door and entering business cards in the basket for door prize drawings.
Food table provided by NWWP had 6 kinds of specialty cheeses, crackers, fruit, sourdough, hummus, ham and cookies.
Wine selections were offered by Tara of St. Josef’s Winery.
Musical entertainment provided by Linda Smith of Notes of Celebration.
Jewelry display by Lea McWhorter of Sophisticated Beads who makes custom bridal party jewelry.
NWWP Chairperson, Beverly Mason, then spoke to the group about website optimization and link sharing. She also encouraged everyone to take advantage of the affordable and most often FREE printing of Vista Print and showed the NW Wed Pro cards, postcards, logo, posters and banners that were from Vista Print. We heard from vendors who recently had tables at Bridal Fairs around the region. The group discussed the idea of holding a NW Wed Pro Bridal Fair in the near future. $$dollar bills were given out in the game “It Pays to Refer to NW Wed Pro members”. Lots of referrals were given within the group last month.
Door Prize drawings were a leather business card portfolio that displays 75 cards for easy reference, a canvas NW Wedding Professionals tote bag, and a small personal size leather business card holder. Three winners were drawn from the basket.
Featured vendors were given a few minutes each to talk about their products, services and venues, then everyone else introduced themselves to the group.
Wrapping up the evening was enough time to visit and exchange cards with other wedding professionals.
If you have never attended one of these meetings, you are definitely missing out. Please come next month.
