Coordinators Night Out

So many people ask, "How can you be friends with other wedding coordinators? Aren't you all competition?" Well, yes, we are, but that doesn't stop us from being friends, or even sharing ideas, referrals, and for three of us in this tight group ~ office space! We have a fantastic small networking group of professional wedding planners that meet, chat, and are not afraid to ask for, or offer assistance to others. Most of us have been in the business ten years plus, and either have been, or currently are on the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) planning and steering committee. Yes, we are competition, we are on the same vendor lists, we interview for the same brides, but above it all, and most importantly we are friends. Here are a few faces you may recognize. They are the best wedding planners in Orange County, and some of my personal best friends. Thank you Gini for hosting this months dinner at your house. We <3 you and your warm spirit! Gini's got talent too! She made this centerpiece: We chatted, laughed, and ended the night with a very fun (and slightly) competitive gift exchange.
Cheers To You, Coordinators & Compadres!
