WE Network - Preview Party

At the beginning of the December, we had a preview party for the WE Network's: Wedding Central: The Wedding Planners! We had the opportunity to celebrate the past year and all of the exciting things that have happened with the company, our clients, and our vendors. Thank you can not properly describe how grateful I am to all of the vendors who help us put together this amazing night of celebration!
VIP Grand Events, Luckett Lodge, Wendy Putt & Fresh Cut, Great Southern Events,
Tommy Couch & CIA Entertainment, Candy's Confections,
Wildflower... truly, I could NOT have thrown such a magical party without
each and every one of you!

Also, my sincere thanks to all of the clients, past, present, and future, who attended! It reminds me exactly why I have chosen this unbelievable (sometimes wild and crazy) profession! It is a gift to be able to work with each of you! Also, to the vendors who attended and shared their support, my gratitude and appreciation. I was so thrilled to be able to share this with all of you! Many blessings to each of you in this Christmas season!

My unbelievable staff!!! You girls ROCK!
