Happy Easter and the Newest Member of ABC

First off ABC is not the American Broadcasting Company, and no I am not getting my own show. ABC stands for the Association of Bridal Consultants and in my eyes just about the best networking group around. I was a member when I was with my other company and have finally joined with C Squared Events. We will even have a booth at their upcoming Vendor Fair.

Now if I could get on my soap box for a little bit! I love coordinators. I am not a coordinator. If a coordinator is not hired I will do my best to make sure everything is running smoothly and that all elements are taken care of but that is where my duties end. I am not at the venue making sure everything is getting setup on time I don't know that one of your guests got chicken when you ordered them a Vegetarian meal. I also do not help load up the presents at the end of the night. Those reasons and a handful of others are why I hired a coordinator. I am friends with a ton of coordinators so I won't mention her name here I will just say that she is in my links section on this blog. Ok I have two coordinators in my links section, If I hadn't used one I would have used the other. A coordinator is just like a DJ when you hire one you want to make sure that your personality meshes well with theirs, otherwise you are in for a long night.

I am looking forward to being involved with such a prestigious group.
Now last Sunday was Easter and it was a time for the Holte and Carroll families to get together for some fun and food. Whenever I go visit my in-laws my father in-law, my wife and I all go play golf. Well this past weekend I emerged victorious for the first time. Yeah I am not ashamed to admit my wife has beaten me every time we play, until now. I golfed the round of my life, and she looked like she had every bit of rust that would accumulate after not having swung a club since Christmas. Her not playing up to par did take some joy out of my accomplishment but I will take it none the less.

I hope you and your families Easter was as enjoyable as mine.

Finally, May 18th is a Bridal Show at the Wyndham Costa Mesa. If you are still in need of a venue I recommend stopping by. They will have the room decorated and even have food. If you are there stop by and say hi.
