I know two posts in one day.
Well I just noticed that when I relaunched my web page I forgot to put the testimonials back up. I just put it back up and even updated some.
Enjoy.

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.

New Look, New Experiences
I know a thing or two about coding webpages, so I have always done csquaredevents.com myself. I liked the way it looked but frames were causing Google a problem so I decided to redo the site and after a long night I am proud to display the new C Squared Events Homepage! I think I like the new site even better. I always liked the frame look and this gives me that look while allowing the versatility that a non framed site allows. The gallery is still being tweaked but we do have new pictures up for you to take a look at.
We have been doing swag for a while but this past weekend was the first time I set it up at an event by myself. The thing I noticed is the huge difference it makes. Everyone who walked in the room stopped and commented on how good it looks. I see a trending towards more ambiance lighting as opposed to special affect lighting. I got my start in FX lighting so I am not sure how I feel about this, I do know that brides are now able to make a dramatic difference in the look and feel of their reception without having to break the budget. If you are curious about any of this or interested in seeing if this is the right solution for you give us a call.
On a personal note, my friends have had there baby and it is interesting to see my friends go baby crazy. It is funny how guys can even get gaga when someone close to them has a child. Congratulations to Cori, Nathan and now Drew Vanderbeek, the new family is doing well. Course you can see for yourself if you view their blog, the link is on the links side of this blog.
