Happenings at MtJW

More than Just Weddings has finally joined the world of blogging! I've been told this would be a great way to keep my past brides, current brides, potential brides, vendors, and friends up to date with what is going on in the busy world of our company! Let me bring you all up to date! First off I would like to welcome the greatest asset to MtJW! Andrea...Andrea is a gem, my newest assistant that I LOVE so much! She has helped alleviate a lot of my work so that I can focus on my clients and AfWPi events. Andrea is not only remarkable in the office but at events and weddings she helps to make my clients day FABULOUS!!!! Andrea showed her skills at the Lopez/Comulada Wedding. This was a very fun yet challenging wedding because my bride Jeannette wanted to make sure her guests were truly entertained and walked away feeling like they had never been to a wedding where they had so much fun. Feedback three weeks later...they are still talking about this wedding! Everything was beautiful from Flowers on Mars recreating the Jessica Simpson ceremony look at a very affordable price. Tesoro Trattoria provided an amazing location for the reception. The service was top notch...food...beyond amazing. Marvin, Tesoro's manager is every wedding coordinators best friend! DJ Mars kept the crowd going to where guests were requesting his play list! And how do we ever forget the amazing team at Planet Zaya who made the couple feel like their wedding was being featured on Platinum Weddings! Planet Zaya's crew consisted of 5 staff members to ensure every aspect of the wedding was captured and a jib (crane used to shoot movies) made everyone feel like they were all in a featured film. The response of the crowd...this wedding must have cost a fortune! Andrea was able to assist with the many "surprise" events going on from the Peruvian Band entrance to the debut of Scott's rock band performance! My other beautiful assistant Adrianne was on hand to assist with this wedding as well. My staff helped me to pull off yet another successful, flawless event! I love you guys!!!!

Congratulations Scott and Jeannette!!!! And yes Scott, you made the wall of fame!!!!

I wanted to wish my funniest couple a very Happy Anniversary!!!! Cameron and Rochael Williams celebrated their one year anniversary Mother's Day weekend! Talk about a couple who can make you laugh for hours straight! They were truly made for each other! Love you guys!!!!
