Event description

We filled up Tutta Bella Pizzeria for the last event so we've decided to move this next event to a larger space in Belltown. It'll be in the private back room at Del Rey.

Wedding planners, florists, djs, photographers, caterers, officiants, seamstresses, hair and make-up artists, and other unique bridal vendors: come join us for a Wedding Professionals' networking event.

There's no fee, just buy your drinks and/or food at the bar and enjoy making connections with other people in the business.

Hosted by AvantBride.com a Seattle based wedding directory that allows brides to refer and review their favorite vendors.

    I'm so glad Sarah has put together another event - the last one was really good and I met several really cool people. This time I hope to meet them again and get to know others.

    Hi everyone!

    I've recently been thinking about the wedding-officiant (I prefer celebrant) side of my business, and how I might make a few more connections out there.... I love officiating creative weddings for creative couples....just ask Dan and Lara (biznik co-founders). I also meet plenty of future brides and grooms looking for all sorts of services.

    Hostesses with the mostesses: will there be time for shameless bragging?

    Looking forward to meeting you all. blessings,

    "The Rev." Elke

    Thanks everyone!

    Regarding shameless bragging - it depends on the number of people as to whether we mingle and network or everyone introduces themselves. I cap the lunch meetings for that reason, but more the merrier for these happy hours.

    I am fairly new to the wedding industry, so I look forward to meeting and networking with all of you.

    Sounds like a very fun and worthwhile evening!

    I'd been hoping for some more wedding-professionals events! See you all soon!

    I would have attended, but I have a film @ 7 pm and the site is frozen - so I cannot even cancel. So I hope to attend the next one. I just finished a DVD for my niece's Bat Mitzvah. If anyone wants a sample to look at, just contact me and I'll send it to you.

    PS--If any of you attended or had a booth at the Seattle Wedding Show on Jan 3 & 4, please drop me a note and let me know how it was for you. It was great for me, perhaps better than last year. I have about a dozen firm bookings and a few more to follow up on.

    I was going to be at the Lynnwood show this past Saturday, playing a showcase at the Musician's Union booth, but wound up playing at the memorial of a friend of mine.

    since I am coming from a distance, any parking tips?

    Looks like a grand group of weddingnistas! (just made that up.)

    cheers, The Rev.

    While I'm not a "Wedding Professional" I am in the film industry and our paths often cross... makeup artists, catering, photographers, and the like. I'm also a bride in need of some great Wedding Pros, anybody mind if I come check out your event on both fronts?

    At first I hesitated even digging deeper into this event; then, I realized many facilities and homes can spruce up their environs for a wedding with good tree care. I would also love to refer marrying friends to the group. Look forward to meeting many new folks.

    I was looking forward to meeting everyone here tonight, but I have caught something the past couple of days that is like the flu but worse, and don't want to spread it around! I hope to make the next get together though!

    I REALLY wanted to go tonight but something came up and I can't. Have a fantastic night and hope to make it to the next one.

    I adore you Laura and Sarah, keep up the fantastic events!!

    I'm not making it tonight, darn it. I had some necessary interruptions today that prevented e from getting some work done that was on deadline.

    Well, I guess since it's 6pm and I'm still in Mukilteo, I won't be heading down 405. I hope you are all having a fab time, and I'll catch the next one!
