Fabulous Fridays!!!!

Are you a Fabulous wedding/event vendor or a Fabulous venue? Are you passionate about your clients and your events? Do you go out of your way to make sure your clients receive that platinum service regardless if they have a shoe string budget? Do you eat, breathe, and sleep thinking about your next event? If your answer is yes....then you are the type of vendor WE want to know about.

We receive a lot of phone calls and emails from vendors trying to introduce themselves to our company so this is your time to shine and let us know how fabulous you are! Each vendor will be showcased on our blog for Fabulous Fridays. This is a way to introduce yourself to others in our industry (all over the world!) and to let potential clients know why you are so Fabulous! To start the new Fabulous Fridays off, I am showcasing some of my personal favorite vendors and venues. If you want your company or venue to be showcased, send us an email to: wendaevans@morethanjustweddings.com and include the following:



1. Contact Information: Business Name, Contact Person, Location, Website, Email, Phone

2. Brief description of your company


3. Tell us why you are so FABULOUS

4. Tell us why you enjoy doing what you do

If you have used a vendor or venue's services and you think they fit into this "Fabulousity" category let us know and we will make sure they get the recognition they deserve!

My Latest Addiction....

At the beginning of the year I had the pleasure of coordinating the Sweetest Perfection Event at Party Rental King in Santa fe Springs. Who would have ever thought I would meet my "newest addiction" at an event!!!! Thanks to a quaint shop in Lakewood, Miss Priss Cupcakes and Such I am so addicted!!!! One bite of their peanut butter and jelly cupcake and they have me hooked. Obviously I am addicted right?!?!?! Notice, I said the event was at the BEGINNING of the year and it's almost summer and Miss Priss is still on my mind! Needless to say I have made numerous trips to this amazing gem of a cupcake shop. They have the traditional flavors of cupcakes but they also have some "oh my goodness why didn't I think of that" flavors that will surely keep you coming back for more. Everyone I have told about Miss Priss comes back telling me how good the cupcakes are and they truly understand my addiction! So....if you are looking for that perfect desert to serve your guest or need that "special something" to satisfy that sweet tooth craving....be sure to check out Miss Priss Cupcakes, you will be very happy you did!!!!

You Never Know How You'll Meet Your Next Client

In April of 2009 I attended the OC AfWPi mixer, a mixer I almost did not make it to! There I met one of the most beautiful wedding vendors whose beauty radiates from the inside out. We became best friends within the first 5 minutes of conversation!!!! :-) During our conversation we talked about her relationship with her boyfriend and how much she wanted to marry him, and how I just knew I was going to plan her wedding when they decided to get married! Today...one year and almost two months later I have the PLEASURE of coordinating this beautiful lady's wedding! Through the whole wedding process Ana has remained humble, focused on her love with JT and her love for her beautiful family. This wedding will have so many personal touches that include their family members....I just know I am going to shed tears today! I get chills thinking about what is in store for them!!!! I will definitely be back with an amazing follow up I am sure!!!! ;-)

Your SMARTEST Investment For Your Wedding Day

Before you begin investing all of your money into planning your perfect wedding day, make sure you add one more item to your budget list: Wedding Insurance. Years ago, wedding insurance to alot of brides was an extra, unnecessary expense. But today, due to the economy it is one of the smartest investments for your wedding. Check out what the Better Business Bureau has to say about this added expense:

Are You Walking For Breast Cancer?!?!?!?

Nine years ago I lost my mother, my best friend, my confidant to the ugly thing we call Ovarian Cancer. My mom was my first inspiration for participating in the Revlon Walk years ago, but today I do it for many other reasons. Every time my best friend and I walk, we are saddened by the many loses and touched by the amazing strength of the survivors. When doing the walk I always run into other friends who are there in support of someone they lost to cancer, someone they love who is currently going through cancer, or they are there in hopes of helping to find a cure for breast and ovarian cancer.

Since the Revlon Walk is Mother's Day weekend, and in honor of my mom and all of the women who are affected by any form of cancer, we are offering all of our new clients a 10% discount off any package or a free wedding day gift for all of our current clients if you show us that you participated in the Revlon/Run Walk for 2010. You must submit your information by May 22, 2010 via email at wendaevans@morethanjustweddings.com. This is our way of saying thank you for supporting such a valuable cause.

I am In Love Once Again!!!!

So, I fell in love with another one of my couples....Melissa and Jeremy!!!! They are sooooooo adorable!!!! Melissa was one of my extremely calm and laid back brides, Jeremy was my funny, I can't wait till the honeymoon is here grooms!!!! Love, love, love their personalities!!! Part of the reason I love what I do is I get to work with such wonderful couples and always with an amazing team of wedding vendors. Melissa and Jeremy's special day was captured by the talented Alex from Blue Silver Photo who was so kind enough to provide me with this slideshow to share with everyone. http://www.bluesilverphoto.com/data/web/melissaandjeremywedding/index.html

Andrea's Debut....

Last weekend our very own Andrea made her wedding coordination debut at Diana and Josh's wedding reception at The Reef in Long Beach. The beautiful reception decor included my favorite....a blinged out cake stand, was provided by Flowers on Mars and of course the elegant crystal trees by White Feathers Events. The view from the room was breathtaking. The dance floor was packed thanks to DJ Mars, and at the end of the night we had one very happy bride! Congratulations to Diana and Josh on the beginning of their happy lives together and to Andrea for doing a spectacular job!!!!
