Alexander Events

We had a meeting this morning with Samantha from Alexander Events. It was a pleasure speaking with her. Alexander Events can coordinate any event: weddings, reunions, banquets, birthday parties, etc. Samantha is involved with many networks in the Springfield area and has a wealth of information from vendors and awesome locations. Alexander Events specializes in event coordinating packages starting as low as $200, which is so worth it when you don't have to be concerned about every small detail. She has a site which lists several different options she offers including information about having a "green" wedding! Visit her website: http://www.alexanderevents.vpweb.com/ or call her 417-988-8949 for more details and to schedule a consultation.

February Luv Bug Meeting!

Once a month a group of wedding vendors get together to get to know each other better with a meal catered by a wedding vendor at a venue that hosts weddings. The group is called the Luv Bugs.

This month the meeting was held at the Whitestone Wedding Chapel in Marshfield, MO and food was catered in by P & D Catering.

If you have not yet seen the Whitestone Wedding Chapel, I will post another entry next with a video segment about the chapel. It is beautiful and Kate Bryce is more than willing to help you host your wedding.

P & D Catering advertises "Professional Catering with a Personal Touch Specializing in custom designed menus to accommodate any occasion!" Our comment: their food is Delicious and I would be thrilled to have them cater any of our events in the future! Plus they are very personable and helpful too!

During the Luv Bug Meeting 4 local Wedding Planners & Directors had the chance to promote themselves. I will list the Ladies below. They are all a wealth of information regarding weddings and provide a wide array of services.
Gracious Occasions, Inc. operated by Martha S. Wright
Bliss Wedding Event Coordination operated by Kristen Nicole
The Bride's Maid operated by Joyce Criswell
Signature Weddings & Events operated by Kim Nave

Stay tuned for the Whitestone Wedding Chapel Video coming next!

For the ipod listeners:

I recently stumbled on a website where you can download wedding talk show podcasts: The Wedding Podcast Network. The podcasts discuss a variety of wedding subjects, including:

• Brides recall their weddings and their experiences
• Grooms discuss their concerns about the wedding
• Wedding Industry Professionals share their thoughts and advice
• Listen to hot and trendy happenings in the bridal scene

The show that I listened to in particular is in the "Meet the Masters" series (where wedding professionals share advice). This podcast includes interviews with 14 videographers who were among those named "the top 25 videographers in the country" in 2007. This podcast may be a year or two old, but the advice seems timeless.

Do you want to know what the top videographers in the country recommend? Check out this link and listen to the podcast yourself! You can click play to listen at your computer, or scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the very small text link that says
