Wedding Professionals Network at The Foundry and The Aerie
Hello NW Wed Pro!
April Showers will bring not only May flowers but LOTS of
Summer Weddings! The season is really gearing up for NW Wed Pros. Those months
of networking and making connections are really paying off.
Here is a recap of some activities.
April 10th
NW Wed Pro Networking Event at The Foundry at Oswego Pointe was a HUGE success.
Attendance: 56 wedding professionals
Venue: The Foundry at Oswego Pointe.
Members were so pleased to have an
event at this beautiful venue. The day started out with heavy down pouring rain
but as the meeting time approached, the clouds parted and the sun came out for
a beautiful evening overlooking the Willamette River. We were welcomed by the
General Manager of The Foundry, Debbie Martin and three of her venue
coordinators. Everyone was made to feel welcome and were able to tour the
entire venue and balconies. The venue also provides a flat screen monitor for
video and slideshow displays along with audio equipment for our guest speaker. 
The catering earned a huge round of
applause from the group this night. Premier
Catering went above and beyond in their premier night to the NW Wed Pro
group. As a preferred caterer of The
Foundry, they offered to provide food for the meeting. Many of you come
straight from work to make it to these meetings and having something to eat is
always appreciated. Well, Premier
Catering took it to a whole new level. We had a beautifully laid out full
buffet of appetizers, fruit, cheese, grilled vegetables, salads, sides and
entrees. Not only that, but it was fully staffed with a carving station, table
service and also bar service (serving excellent wine and beverages). If you
haven’t already, please click
here to visit their Facebook page.
LIKE the page then leave a comment to thank them for the great evening at The
Foundry with NW Wed Pro.
Everything looked stunning due to the beautiful work of Jen
at Barclay Event Rentals. Without even realizing it, she matched the color
theme of NW Wed Pro logo. Members dined at beautifully set tables with linens,
elegant dinnerware and décor.
As a featured vendor, Seri displayed a variety of
beautifully decorated wedding cakes and spoke to the group about her talents,
experience and business. She also provided a delicious selection of desserts
for the group which was actually served to us at our tables by the wonderful
staff of Premier Catering.
Scott & Nina introduced their new service offered called
“Boutique Photography” with a beautiful display of Before and After portraits.
They spoke to the group about their dreams, relationship and hopes which drive
their company direction.
Luke Adams is a dynamic speaker. He gave a fantastic
presentation on “How to Network a Room”. He broke it down into easy to remember
steps and a wonderful insight into the effectiveness of good networking.
I’d like to thank everyone for the great feedback and compliments
received at the meeting. It really is my honor to work with all of you in this
industry and to offer you this networking opportunity each month. I honestly
feel that we are the BEST NETWORK ASSOCIATION in the Northwest! Thank you for
your continued support of not only me but also of each other.
April 18th

Pacific Crest Grand Ballroom.

Gutierrez and Chelsea Boehler
