wishing you a wonderful 2009

I cannot believe that there are only minutes left of 2008.

I want to send out a HUGE thank you to all of our 2008 clients :: Juli + Andy, Becky + Matt, Monique + Kevin, Jackie + Matt, Summer + Jim, Alicia + Troy, Dana + Joe, Kristina + Dan, Jen + Greg, Kathryn + Will, Daisy + Greg, Christina + Eric, Dana + Brian, Kami + Dan, Karaline + Andy, Melissa + Kyle, Rose + Brian, Bree + Brad, Liza + James, Amy + Chad, and Felicia + Jeremy. All of you were fabulous to work with and I wouldn't be where I am today without you.

I also wanted to send a huge THANK YOU out to my 2008 intern, Alison Westhouse. Without Alison, well, I don't want to even imagine what could have happened at some of our events! From setting up reception sites and tracking down deejays to perfectly placing escort cards and making sure the bride + groom had champagne for toasts, Alison always came through. Ooh, and I had fun working with her too!

And of course a giant thank you to all of the amazing vendors we had the pleasure of working with in 2008!

In the coming year, there is much to look forward to. There are also many vendors that I'm looking forward to working with for the first time :: Stems Event Design, Elements of Elegance, Ryan Prins Photography, Elite Photography + Design and Lotus Photographic...

Happy 2009 from Pearls Events.
