So, the crazy busy-ness of January has been replaced by the crazy busy-ness of February. I just got a gig as event manager for the Universal City/North Hollywood Chamber of Commerce’s annual gala on March 16th. Table sales and ad sales and general corporate event management, which is where my background is. It really is…

Top Ten Wedding Tips

Inez and Arjang got married at the Universal Hilton on Sunday, and it was an absolutely gorgeous and heartfelt event. This was the first wedding I’ve done where the guests applauded the wedding party as they came down the aisle! Nate and Jen have pictures on their blog – I tried to take pictures on…

The wedding was at the Oviatt penthouse on Friday, which is starting to feel like my second home. 125 people, chiavari chairs, and brown satin tablecloths and napkins. The colors were brown and various shades of pink – very beautiful, very elegant. They had…
