Just a few short weeks ago, I attended my 6th annual Association of Bridal Consultants' conference which was held in Orlando. Every year since becoming a wedding planner, I have attended conference -- to meet other planners worldwide, to get up to date with the trends, to learn more about the industry and to interact with new vendors on the corporate level. This year, with over 500 attendees, the conference was even more exciting and informative than ever!
Let me share some great info with you!
Sandals and Beaches - luxury-included resorts in the Caribbean. I continued my training with Sandals and Beaches and have renewed my Certified Sandals Specialist designation, so I can help anyone out there with honeymoons, weddings, or vacations to these wonderful resorts. I have been to nearly all of the Sandals and Beaches properties on Jamaica, and can say without reservation (some travel humor!) that the resorts are impeccably maintained and offer so many diverse activities and restaurants that you will always be experiencing something new...or you can simply relax by the pool everyday, and no one will interrupt you! Sandals and Beaches have teamed up with Preston Bailey and Sylvia Weinstock for their wedding packages, and Preston is introducing 2 additional packages soon! If you want to go away and be pampered, without having to pull out your wallet ever, contact me and I'll book a great vacation for you at one of these great resorts!
David Tutera - Disney wedding packages. David Tutera was the featured speaker at the conference, and a small group of us were able to go with him to the wedding pavilion on the Disney property followed by a reception at the Contemporary Resort. David has developed a line for Disney that is young, hip and trendy - perhaps not what you would think of as a Disney wedding! The packages are customizable, so you can take the "bones" of the design and put your own spin on it. David is so creative, I'm sure you will want to check out his line - and who doesn't love Disneyworld for a great honeymoon?! Feel free to contact me for more information about this exciting new collaboration!
Mary Dann - celebrity wedding planner. Mary Dann has been featured on television shows such as Whose Wedding Is It Anyway? and Platinum Weddings, not to mention her contributions to national wedding magazines. She is launching a line of stationery, with beautiful papers and verses. I spent about 1 1/2 hours talking with Mary, and can definitely say that she has inspired me to be a better person and consultant. Her outlook on life is so positive, and she views every challenge as an opportunity to grow, which is what I'm trying to incorporate into my life as well. If you're interested in Mary's stationery, contact me or go to www.marydann.com.
Until next time, happy planning...
