Wed Pro at Weddings on The Hill


Hello NW Wed Pro!

 

How many of you are still hip-deep in weddings?!?! It doesn’t seem to be slowing down. LOVE IT!!

Hopefully today, being a Monday, you are able to slow down a bit and enjoy this recap of last week’s NW Wed Pro Networking Event.

Wednesday, September 10th, we met at Weddings On The Hill in West Linn. It was a beautiful evening for an outdoor event. The hosts of Weddings on the Hill, Chris & Cindy Nylen, went all out for this event. Fresh flowers, beautiful tables and chivari chairs, fresh flower arrangements, live music… the works.

We were so privileged to have Premiere Catering Inc at this event. They never disappoint. Premiere Catering brings a full staff to take care of every need. The dinner buffet was truly a masterpiece to look at and for savoring every bite. From salads and fresh fruits, cheeses and veggies, to sides and fresh cooked entrĂ©e’s prepared right there at the buffet. The smell of garlic cooking was heavenly. J Premiere Catering also treated NW Wed Pros to  wine and beer service, complete with a friendly bartender. Their staff was always on top of everything.  We are so thankful for Premiere Catering and their wonderful staff. The next time a bride is looking for a caterer, be sure to give her Premiere’s information and a glowing review. 

The fabulous dinner was topped off with desserts by Cookies, Cupcakes & More. They make the BEST cupcakes EVER! Thank you Rick & Barb for being a member of our NW Wed Pro family these past years. We love you both!

Another thank you goes out to Flowers by Diana, for the beautiful flower arrangements, and to Maria Olaya on guitar, the music was the perfect touch for the evening. Thank you Barclay Events for contributing, and Men’s Warehouse too! 

Many beautiful changes have been made to Wedding On The Hill this year thanks to the hard work, planning and donations of their Board Members and benefactors. We were honored to have them attend this event and enjoy a great dinner and evening. 

We had many first time visitors to this meeting and we hope to see them at future meetings and events. We appreciate that so many of you have been inviting other wedding professionals to attend our networking events. Welcome Buxton Design Studio, Oregon Wedding Showcase, Shauna Brooks Officiant, Mon Cheri Antiques & Vintage Collectibles, Port of Call Catering, Black Rock BBQ, Bartending by Michael and Men’s Wearhouse (Clackamas).

NW Wed Pro Networking Event in Oregon City


Hello NW Wed Pro!

I’m not sure where it went, but August came and went before I knew it! September is here and the wedding business is still going strong. It is also the time when most couples get serious about finding their vendors for Summer 2014 Weddings.

August was a fabulous month for so many NW Wedding professionals. We have seen great partnerships formed between Venues and Photographers, Planners and Rental Companies, Caterers and Dessert makers, Photographers and Videographers, and much more. THAT is what being a NW Wed Pro member is all about.  Working together, helping each other and building our businesses. Great Job Everyone!
