From the sushi bar to the meat carving station, your guests will be canvassing the room in search of those infamous baby lamb chops.

by Marion Abrams Tweed River Video



I recently read an article that suggested money conscious brides are skipping the video at their weddings. I was shocked. In today's media-savvy world, a good quality video of your wedding is more important than ever. Here are just a few of the reasons:

CANDLES & HOLDERS warm lights shine bright!

"Of the many things to consider when planning your "I Do's", where does ambiance sit on your priority checklist? Flowers and fabric add to the mood, but lighting is key to achieving that romantic feeling and look. Keep in mind that less is usually more, as candles give off more light and heat than you may think. If your venue bans the use of open-flame, then we have other great candlelight imitation options. You can achieve all the allure and glamor needed for your special day with just a… Continue

Go vintage…put a brooch in it.



I found this season the greatest accessories and treasures in the antique stores. My most favorite place to find hidden treasures. I found great ideas for old school and new school looks that no one else would have. Ladies head out to your local antique, vintage store and find yourself brooches, pins, old clips earrings and shoe clips. You can find so many fun, soft old looks to a more retro look. You name it you can wear it, just have to have… Continue

Tours and Activities in Hawaii



Written by Marie Glodt, Hawaiian travel specialist at Travel to Maui



Visiting the Hawaiian Islands can be many things, to many people. Some folks prefer to stay in a luxury hotel and sit by the pool having some one bring them “fruity drinks.”

While others the thought of sitting still all day would drive them crazy. Their idea of the perfect vacation is to fill every minute with things to do.

Testimonials -Signature Weddings by Jenna

Jenna was our wedding planner, and she was completely spectacular. I was planning my wedding from a fairly far distance and I don't know how I would have been able to accomplish it without her. She helped me with everything from the food, to sending me room dimensions, and dealing with my fairly incessant phone calls. Even on the day before the wedding, when I had a very bad make-up trial, she made phone calls and pulled strings for me to get a second trial that day and my wedding day make-up… Continue
