The opening program provided by Daniel Phoenix of Treasure Map was fun and got all of the guests  interacting and bonding with each other in a truly creative way.  The room was divided into teams and given 2 assignments they had about 20 minutes to put together. Then we were all treated to spontaneous poems, saw hillarious skits and creative puppet shows; all in the name of making new networking contacts in a new and unique way.  Team signs were provided by First Dance Cards and awards were provided by Godiva Chocolates.

Then we moved to the educational program provided by Andy Ebon, wedding industry expert! The seminar provided helpful and timely information on the best ways to followup on your bridal show and other wedding web site leads.  The Focus was on e-mail programs and mailing of postcards.  You can see the notes from this seminar at this link.

The evening ended with the raffling of some great wine donated by The Bridal Spectacular and Las Vegas Wedding Network, Spa Bags provided by VegasVows.com and a fabulous round of golf donated by Bear’s Best!

We appreciate the support of everyone who attended and contributed to a very successful evening.  As a no membership fee organization, we appreciate your support of the raffles too!

We look forward to seeing you at our next event scheduled for April 27, location TBA.  If you want to donate or showcase your talents for any part of our next event, please let us know.
