Wedding MBA

October has been our busiest month so far, and we are not complaining! October 1, 2012 marked the end of our first year in business and on Tuesday, October 2nd we were put to the test with a call to book the space for a wedding on Saturday, October 6th! The event was a success!

Meanwhile, we were gearing up for four more events, answering requests for information, giving tours, and making things happen... Oh, and for the first week of October, we were short staffed because one of us (I'm not going to name names... but it was me. Sorry, Sam and Alana!) attended the Wedding MBA in Las Vegas!


The Wedding MBA featured great speakers and allowed for networking with amazing vendors from across the country!

 



The Wedding MBA was held in the Las Vegas Convention Center



Timothy Chi and Sonny Ganguly of Wedding Wire gave a series of informative lectures on changing technology, the mobilization of websites, ideas for small businesses and more. As you can see in the picture above, there was also an excellent performance of "Gangnam Style" and my favorite part, free T-Shirts! Some of the other speakers included John Goolsby, Chris Evans, Susan Southerland, and Ariel Meadows Stalling. I am so appreciative of the opportunity to learn from so many industry professionals who have been doing what they do so well, for so long. It was also fun to see the individuals who I have followed over the past year on blogs in person!

I also had a chance to see the Strip and many of the impressive and over-the-top buildings in Vegas!

The Bellagio Fountain was the one thing I HAD to see in Vegas! I really do like fountains.



Attending the Wedding MBA was a valuable learning experience, as well as a nice break from routine! I returned home and went right back to work, confident that The Center provides the perfect spot for the very popular "Custom Event" and proud of the social media presence we have built over the past year!
