Cocktail Hour - Feb, 2008
We just had our first ever vendor party and it was great! We had nine different companies represented including photographers from Studio Laguna, Danio Photography and Happenstance Photography. Cakes were represented by Generation Celebration. DJ Entertainment by Party Time Productions, Dress shop, tuxedo rental and accessories by Little Bridal Shop. Floral designer Alice-Lynn Olson of the Late Bloomer and Ribbon Gift Consultant Eva Trojanowski.
It was so nice to be able to meet with all these different vendors on a more personal basis. Some were able to show their work while others were able to talk about theirs as well as the wedding industry in general.
Jack and I came up with this idea because we think that networking with other vendors is the best way to not only promote our company, but also a better way to serve our clients. Photos and Video are always better when the vendors can work together to get amazing shots. The DJ or MC is also an intrical part of this because they give us a “heads-up” when important events are about to take place; thus getting us prepared.
We have had many couples meet with us and ask if we know of other vendors, so our wheels started turning and we had a party!
It was such a success that we’re thinking of doing this twice a year. Of course,
