On Monday, June 8th, I was honored to be one of the featured wedding consultants for a "Live Wedding Guide" event.

Samara Brown of 29 And Holding Event Services, Amy Frugoli of Twitterpated Weddings, Nelle Donaldson of ZahZoom Weddings & Parties, Joyce Scardina Becker of Events of Distinction and Birds Of A Feather Queer Wedding Planning

The idea of the evening was to connect wedding consultants with wedding professionals in a beautiful venue. That venue happened to be Grand Cafe located inside of Hotel Monaco. Set in a dramatic, carefully restored turn-of-the-century ballroom with soaring ceilings, the cafe recalls the grandeur of old Europe, as if you've stepped into Paris in the early twentieth century. It's a memorable setting for an unforgettable experience. Grand Cafe is located at 501 Geary (at Taylor Street) San Francisco, California 94102

There were 5 wedding consultants (Events of Distinction, ZahZoom Weddings & Parties, 29 And Holding Event Services, Twitterpated Weddings, Birds Of A Feather Queer Wedding Planning) and 20 wedding professionals. Each wedding professional had 3 minutes to "pitch" their business to each consultant , much like speed dating. It was fast paced and exciting with some interesting people and companies. There was a large range of wedding pros ranging from DJs, transportation, favors, and so many more. Here is a list of the fab participants:

 Talk about leaving you wanting more - 3 minutes was a tease and gave me just enough insight as to what they were all about. I definately look forward to connecting with these vendors at a later time..hopefully for more than 3 minutes! After the event we were treated to a delicious treat...a piece of one of the best tasting  (and most intricate looking) cakes from Fire and Icing. Viansa Winery provided the wine for the evening as well. Thank you for sharing!
