Pattis Bridal Trunk Show at The Dresser

Isn't a wedding coordinator or a leather-bound photo album better than a blender?

After planning their own wedding The Carlson's realized they did not need a new blender or 500 thread count sheets but what they really wanted was the nice leather-bound album the photographer was offering. They quickly realized other couples probably felt the same and founded Wedding Registry Direct (WRD). WRD allows couples to register for personalized gifts from their own wedding vendors.

Sure you can register at Macys or Pottery Barn but buying a toaster oven from a web site is not very personal or gratifying. WRD sets up a personal connection between wedding registry and the wedding couple.

I think this is such a great opportunity for both couples and vendors. For more information please visit http://www.weddingregistrydirect.com/.

Paola's Last of Her 20's Birthday Party

I have planned a few birthday parties in my day but this was a first for me! Paola had a great idea to have a sexy lingerie party to celebrate the last of her 20's. It ended up being such a blast! Though she was on a tight budget we were able to accomplish a sexy yet classy lounge feel using black, white and red accents. Along with a small chandelier and candle light which set the perfect ambience.

LVL Events Receives Bride's Choice Award from Wedding Wire

WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that LVL Events has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™!

In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US.

Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews. “We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”

LVL Events would like to thank our past clients for speaking on our behalf and helping us win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!
