2010 Wedding Season coming to a close



The Northwest wedding season of 2010 came in like a Lamb but went out like a Lion! With a slightly slower start than most seasons, this year brought more late bookings and shorter notice hiring than ever before. An unsure economy may have had something to do with it. But once it got going, it was busier than ever.

NW Wed Pro's shared many referrals within the organization when they (the vendor) were
already booked for the requested
dates. Brides are very grateful when a professional still responds to the request and offers names and contact info of qualified wedding professionals.

In October, NW Wed Pro presented the 2010 "Fall.. in Love" Bridal Fair, hosted by the Pacific Crest Grand Ballroom. The fair filled the 8,000 square feet of elegant space in 3 ballrooms.

Vendors and exhibitors represented just about every single profession in the wedd
ing industry.
The 2pm Fashion Show was filled with gorgeous brides, gowns,
men, flowers, jewelry designs and the hottest hair and makeup trends! Lights
an
d
Music filled the room as each stunning model made her way across the stage and down the catwalk. See video highlights

In November, NW Wed Pro's met for a year end meeting in Oregon City. The group shared stories, ideas, thank you's, and some nice food and drinks.

The grand finale celebration for the wedding industry is scheduled for December 1, 2010 in downtown Portland. Most all of the industry networking groups have collaborated to plan ONE joint holiday celebration. It's called the PORTLAND GALA! The event is hosted by The Governor Hotel with Jake's Catering and sponsored in part by the Portland Spirit. It is open to all wedding & event industry professionals but space is limited. Tickets went on sale this week at www.PortlandGala.com

Thank you EVERYONE that participated in NW Wed Pro Network this 2010. As the
network grows each year, it is ever changing in some ways but also a comfort in the way some things stay the same. It is a pleasure AND honor knowing each and every one of you.

Happy Holidays and See you next year!

NW Wed Pro Bridal Fair a HUGE success


What a great event! The first bi-annual NW Wed Pro Bridal Fair was a huge success! We had hundreds of brides visit us at the beautiful Willamette Valley Country Club in Canby, Oregon on February 6th & 7th 2010.

The displays were beautiful. The fashion shows amazing and the live musicians performed great music by Duo con Brio, Notes of Celebration and Misha Rubic. Willamette Valley CC provided food all day long and St. Josef's Winery offered wine tasting. Portland Wedding Workbook sold out on their wedding workbooks at the registration table. Hundreds of dollars were raised for the Clackamas Women's Services Charitable organization.

Fashion shows featured the services of Magnifique Boutique, Divismo Jewelry, Flowers by Floral Sunshine and Punch Floral, hair styles by Pretty In Portland and Heidi's Hair Design, makeup by Luminary Esthetics and Pretty In Portland, photography by Absolutely Only, SG Photography, Buenger Photography and Paradise Photography. Modeling by Amanda Hilton & Misha Rubic.

"How-to" demonstrations were presented by Purple Iris Weddings and Sweet Dreams Bridal Consultants. Cake tastings from White Rose Bakery and SeriousCake.com were delicious. Other featured vendors were CS Country Weddings with Cear Springs Estate, Forever In Stone, Minute Man Press Oregon City wedding Invitations, The Aussie DJ, Sun Connections Travel, A Perfect Ceremony, Adventure Weddings, Canby Pioneer Chapel and Angelina's Day Spa, The Radiant Touch Weddings and Asparro Video Productions.

2010 NW Wed Pro Bridal Fair






NW Wed Pro is excited to announce the 2010 Bridal Fair. Presented by NW Wed Pro, hosted at Willamette Valley Country Club and promotional contributions by Wedding Workbook!


Mark your calendar for February 6th AND 7th of 2010. Two days of fabulous wedding professionals, all under one beautiful roof in the banquet facilities of Willamette Valley Country Club in Canby, Oregon.



This is a Bridal Fair that you won't want to miss. If you've ever attend a Bridal Show at the Expo or convention center, you know how impersonal, crowded and overwhelming it can be. Vendors pay thousands of dollars for those booths and recoup it by charging higher fees for weddings.


NOT so with the NW Wed Pro Bridal Fair.

Enjoy your time, take in the wonderful views, stop and visit with the professionals while viewing samples of their work. With wine tasting, catering samples, "how-to" demonstrations, makeovers and fabulous prizes and drawings, you'll want to spend your day here. The vendors don't have to pay high booth fees, so those savings are reflected in their prices.


Your admission to the show is only $2. All proceeds will be donated to Clackamas Women's Services!
So SAVE THE DATE of Feb 6&7, then check back for more details soon to come.
