Hello NW Wed Pro!
Thank you ALL for the wonderful support of a newly
RE-OPENING wedding venue in Clackamas County.
The East Fork Country
Estate was overwhelmed with the support they received from NW Wed Pro’s at
the January 16th networking event.
Our fabulous members have offered photos, link exchanges, web support,
inspiration shoots and much more to help them begin their journey into the 2013
and Beyond Wedding Season.
It was a great meeting. With 32 wedding venues and vendors
in attendance, we enjoyed delicious food provided by Chef du Jour Catering (thank you
Eric Youel) and yummy desserts by Cookies,
Cupcakes & More. (thank you Barb & Rick Nischalke) We also had
plenty of wine, compliments of Radiant
Touch Weddings.
The winner of the $20 CASH door prize was Eric Youel of Chef
du Jour Catering. (no, it wasn’t fixed, but he was most deserving!)
Recap of recent Bridal Show participation was discussed and
ideas shared for future events. Information was shared about websites,
networking, mobile sites and promotions. Thank you Craig of High Fidelity Entertainment for sharing your
knowledge with us. AA Events will host Open House February 8th at their Wedding Chapel and Showroom.
If you haven’t worked a wedding at East Fork Country Estate
in the past, please make sure you visit this venue. It has beautiful gardens,
patios, gazebo, Mt. Hood view, surrounding farm country, lots of parking,
indoor space, covered space, full kitchen and much more. NW Wed Pro is honored
to have Grady & Diana Abernathy (owners of East Fork) as our newest MEMBER.
Speaking of members. TWELVE
more wedding professionals got their MEMBERSHIP form turned in at the meeting,
saving them 40% OFF the annual membership fee.
