Ani and Eric were married yesterday at St. Peter’s Armenian Apostolic Church in Van Nuys, with a reception at Bistro Garden in Studio City. The gorgeous flowers were done by Designs by Christine in Tujunga,818-352-3533), linens by White Night Design (who actually lent me a couple of linens for another client’s centerpiece sample, which was…

…or die trying. I have a Platinum (full-service) client, Olivia, who only wants to spend $25,000 for her wedding next August. for 150 guests This will actually be her second wedding, since they’re also having a ceremony in Europe in June. No, I don’t get to go to that one. Yes, I am kind of…

And it’s happening Sunday December 2nd at 2pm. Pretty much two hours of answering brides’ questions, and handing out advice. This is the cheapest having a wedding planner is going to get – $20 – PLUS I’m giving everyone a sheet of discounts and coupons from some of my favorite local vendors. And there will…

Dear Liz: My fiance’s friends are planning to throw him a stripper-filled bachelor party, which makes me sick to my stomach to even think about. I’ve told him how I feel, and how disgusting and inappropriate I think it is for a man who’s about to be married to have to surround himself with naked…

Saturday I helped my friend and fellow event planner Lori at a wedding she did in Boyle Heights. 300 people, who then met a couple of hours later at Town and Gown at USC. That was a little weird for me, being a life long bruin – I thought that any minute someone was going…

Yes, it has been exactly one month and 27 days since my last post, which is like, unheard of in blogworld. So, what have I been doing? May 1st was Maggie’s Bat Mitzvah at the Friar’s Club, an old Hollywood institution that everyone’s heard of but no one’s really been to, probably because you usually…

I just hooked with the Total Improv for Kids troupe in North Hollywood. They’re putting together a series of workshops over the next couple of months to teach kids how to perform improv. Basically, the first half will be a show, and the second half will be a class that ends in the participants performing…

So, I still have this great idea of holding wedding planning workshops for couples who don’t necessarily want a wedding planner, but would like to have wedding planning advice. An hour or so of sitting down with me, a pro-FESSION-al wedding planner for the low, low price of $20. But my venue fell through for…

Yes, I’m bringing it back, because I’m pretty sure that there are more than a few of you out there who need professional help. So to speak. (Cough). At this workshop, kept at only 15 people per session, you can ask me any questions regarding your wedding, and we’ll work them out together. This will…

So, I sat down next a good friend of mine from the Chamber last night, and sighed, “You know, there’s nothing like the end of an event that’s gone well – It tastes like freedom.” And it’s true, there’s just something about pulling all these separate threads together, all aimed towards a specific goal and…
