NWWP at The Broetje House


Hello NW Wed Pro’s!

I hope that you are all having a wonderful weekend. The cooler temperature is perfect for our weddings this weekend!

Thank you to all of the people who attended Wednesday night’s meeting at The Broetje house. It was a very fun meeting. Here is a recap of the evening.

Lorraine, of The Broetje House, set up a beautiful space for us in the Conservatory. The A/C was greatly appreciated on that 90 degree day.

Our featured vendor tables were presented by Buenger Photography, His Bakery and Whiskey Creek Outfitters.
Buenger Photography displayed her talents in video, framed prints and also an incredible Italian crafted Wedding Album.
Whiskey Creek Outfitters couldn’t exactly bring the horse and carriage, but she displayed framed prints of her massive and beautiful black horse and the carriage. Some photos showed the bride sitting on the actual horse!
His Bakery provided us with samples of three different wedding cakes. These were delicious!

Food and beverages were provided this month by NWWP Network.

We opened the meeting with a discussion of building portfolio photo books. Portfolio’s are important for ALL vendor services. They are classy, elegant and sophisticated to show floral, cakes, venues and all other services. They are affordable and easy to make. In fact, Shutterfly and Photoworks are giving 20% off photo books. Give it a try! What have you got to lose?

The money game “It Pays To Be a NW Wed Pro” paid out a lot of dollar bills to anyone who gave a referral to someone in the group and to anyone who brought a guest to the group.

Our door prize winner was Mel O’Brien of Absolutely Only Photography. He won a leather bound planner. Congratulations Mel!

Rob Patton of “Enter The Net” spoke to the group on SEO (search engine optimization) and answered questions to everyone.
George of Awesome Wines brought his 1927 Chevrolet for us to view. He offers it for weddings, receptions and photo shoots.

After round robin introductions were done, we had plenty of time to visit with each other, exchange cards and information and also stroll the beautiful grounds around The Broetje House.


Thank you to the following people who made it an exceptional event!


Floral Sunshine, His Bakery, Buenger Photography, Awesome Wines Co, Lyneil Vandermolen, Noryne Robinson, Whiskey Creek Outfitters, Notes of Celebration, Kelcema Productions, Sara Gray Photography, Paradise Photography, Tiny Impressions Photography, Heather Scott Photographic, Snapdragon Studio flowers, Fliptography, Seriouscake.com, Absolutely Only Photography, Duo con Brio, Enter The Net, The Broetje House, The Radiant Touch.
Our next meeting is on a Monday. September 14, 2009 6pm-8pm at Pacific Crest Grand Ballroom

If you’d like to attend or be a featured vendor, please rsvp by emailing to radianttouch@ccwebster.net

In October we meet on Wed. October 14, 2009 6pm-8pm at Holy Names Heritage Center in Lake Oswego.

The next few months is when most vendors are holding consultations and bookings for Summer 2010. Be sure to refer every bride to NW Wed Pro for all of their other needs. Attend the monthly meetings so that your company is sure to be listed on NW Wed Pro.

I look forward to seeing in Oregon City in September!

NW Wed Pro's for Brides & Grooms


Happy Monday to all of you NW Wedding Pro’s!

I’d say the hot August weather is definitely back! We had some pretty comfortable temperatures for this weekend’s weddings, didn’t we?

I had the privilege of performing weddings at The Aerie at Eagle Landing, Union Hills, Canby Flower Farmers and also the historic Kelty House. All of them were beautiful locations with very friendly staff and owners.

Only 2 days left until the next NWWP NW Wed Pro meeting.
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009 6:00pm – 8:00pm at The Broetje House

It’s not too late to rsvp if you haven’t already. There has been one change to the meeting agenda. Portland Wedding Workbook had to cancel due to being called out of town this week. They will be having a wedding event in the near future, details to come.

On another note: NW Wed Pro email letters, such as this, are now being posted on a Blog! No more searching your old emails trying to find it, now you can find it on the Blog. Just bookmark it. Also, I hope that you all will become “followers” of the Blog by simply clicking on “follow this Blog”. It helps our search status, it gets you seen, it connects us all and it builds the network. Here is the link http://nwwedpro.blogspot.com/2009/08/nw-wed-pros-at-broetje-house-this-month.html
