August Networking at East Fork Country Estate Wedding Venue

Hello NW Wed Pro!

 

I know you barely have time to breath this month but I’m happy that you are taking a moment to read this.

Last week we had a beautiful evening of networking at East Fork Country Estate in Damascus. It was amazing to arrive and see the entire venue set up as if a wedding were taking place; but it was all for US! Diana and Grady Abernethy, who own East Fork, and Chris and Cindy Nylen of Nylen Design and Events, did a complete set up with tables, linens, table décor, floral, accents, tented reception, ceremony seating, and more. Eric Youel of Chef du Jour catering provided a huge buffet of food including pasta, beef, roasted potatoes, salad, bread, and much more. Nylen Designs showcased a Dessert Buffet with treats for everyone. Bridal Veil Winery displayed their wine box gift sets, custom printed labels and served delicious wine. Bright Eyes Dove Release brought their beautiful birds for viewing and one even laid an egg right there!

Our guest speaker was Gary Furr, The Growth Coach. He gave great advice and insight into what it takes to succeed as a small business. He is a great speaker and very motivational.

There were TWO door prize winners this evening. Eric Youel won the Bridal Veil Winery winebox gift set and Dave Ott was the winner of a custom label East Fork Country Estate bottle of wine.

 Thank you to all of you who attended. It was a nice turnout of 30 wedding professionals. (not sure what happened to the 9 no-shows that had RSVP’d.) L
