Discovering the NEW Pacific Crest Grand Ballroom








February is quite the busy month for many of you. Bridal Shows, Networking Events, Consultations and Fund Raising going on all over the place.

NW Wed Pro’s got a networking fix on February 8th at The Pacific Crest Grand Ballroom in Oregon City. If you haven’t seen the changes and updates that have been done to this venue, then you should find an opportunity to do so.

Wed Pro’s had a fun and informative opportunity to not only tour the venue (new bridal changing suite, new wood floors, new paint, new décor) but also be treated to a great dinner by Portland Catering Company with wines from St. Josef’s Vineyard and dessert by Flutterby Bakery. The dessert table display was staged by Barclay Events. Thank you Linda!
Another featured vendor was Nick Curtman of Resolution Photography who introduced us to his new business partnership with The Portland Booth photo booth company. We were treated to fun props and free photos in the booth.

The subject of the meeting was “Taking Networking to the Next Level”, presented by Beverly Mason. Ideas and suggestions of collaborations, partnerships, inspirational shoots, retail space sharing and much more was discussed.

Asparro Video is offering a great rate to NW Wed Pro’s to tape and produce a vendor spotlight
video for your business. Contact Jim with inquiries. Numerous NW Wed Pro’s will be featured on the “Expert Panel” at the Plan Your Wedding Workshop on February 18th, held at the West End Ballroom. Later that evening ALL of you are invited to Oregon City for the 1st Annual Mardi Gras on Main Street celebration, brought to you by Willow Designs by Xavier in partnership with participating nightclubs like Cypress OC, Verdict Bar & Grill, 505 Tavern & Trails End Saloon. Get your sequins on, come out for some fun and collect as many beads as possible for some great prizes. Destinations Unknown will be featuring their party bus. Catch a ride to your next stop
on Main Street. Get your masks in advance at Willow Designs by Xavier at 12th & Washington Street in Oregon City, which is also the new home of Radiant Touch Weddings!!
