2017 marks the beginning of my thirteenth year as a full time wedding professional here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I remember when I began in 2005 and am simply amazed with the work that I have been blessed to have done, the couples and their family and friends that I have worked with, and the experiences I have had. Being able to blog about my journey can only light a small flame to the overall experience that I have had as a wedding officiant and event planner.
I have seen many changes throughout the years. I remember when "the place to be" was in Seattle or the East side of King County. Not anymore! Snohomish county has made a name for itself. No longer do bridal couples have to flock south or east to have an amazing event. Thanks to the Snohomish Wedding Guild, this has been possible. They are in their ninth year of supporting the wedding vendor community and the bridal couples they serve. The resources their website alone offers is a great wealth of knowledge to any coordinator, bride, groom or any other individual who is helping plan a wedding.
Fellow wedding professionals David Anderson (of DA Productions) & Melissa Miksch (of Melissa Miksch Photography) have been extending the invitation to me for years to come and attend as a guest of theirs. I attended the January meeting with them and had a great time! Not only was it a chance to spend some time with these great vendors (who have also become friends of mine) but I was able to check out a new-to-me venue. (More on this venue in my next blog.)
At the end of the night, we were treated to some very tasty cupcakes.....one in my favorite flavor of Amaretto! I couldn't leave the moment without taking a pic of the three of us. Notice David and I included our yummy cupcakes in the shot?
