Save the planet...I mean Wedding

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle

We've all heard this phrase from the time we were in elementary school. Usually, it applies to our daily grind- trying to limit the amount of paper we use, rinsing out jars and using them for other things, and of course putting anything we possibly can into the recycling bin. So how does this apply to weddings?

Well, I should first admit that this has nothing to do with saving the planet-- but it does have to do with saving you and your family a ton… Continue

Sandals Grande Ocho Rios

Just returned from the All About Honeymoons Convention at the Sandals Grande Ocho Rios and want to share that Sandals Grande Ocho Rios is a great place for honeymooners. The property is quite spread out with both a Riviera (Beach Side) and the Manor (Hill Side) and at first this may seem like a problem but their transportation system will get you anywhere fast and in a hurry. On top of that, the meals are plentiful and scrumptous a little walking is good. The staff was 1st rate, the rooms, were… Continue

The big day is over, the thrill of the planning and the excitement of the day has diminished to just a warm fuzzy glow, like the first cup of coffee in the morning, the presents unwrapped, the cake in the freezer and you think the wedding is all done and dusted.

Not exactly...

You now have the job of deciding what to do with the million and one photos from your…

Best way you have found to gain more business?

I'm looking for ideas others have for gaining new business. A lot of inquiries coming our way, but I have found personally and from several other vendors (not just planners) that after the intial inquiry there is not much more from the customers.

In this post, I am going to share some information about Eastern Orthodox ceremonies. I had the privilege of working with a wonderful couple that married in one of the Greek Orthodox Churches in the Phoenix area. As I worked with them, I learned… Continue
