Seattle Summer!

Photobucket"
Jeane and James were married at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland. It was an amazing wedding with a gracious, gorgeous, and loving Bride and Groom. Their families were so wonderful and kind as well, even after the long journey from Dubai and England, where the bride and groom live. It was such a wonderful day. Here are a few words I received after the wedding:

"Dear Wendi,

Thank you so much for all your help! You are a professional in every interaction - which is not only highly valued by brides and grooms, but by all the best vendors in the industry. Your sunny disposition, radiating calm, and ability to organize make you a stand out coordinator. You had many wonderful ideas that you always let me and my groom decide on - but in all honesty, knowing how wonderful your work is, if I had to plan another event from abroad, I would put you in charge with decision making ability in an instant.

My wedding day was honestly the best day of my life and James and I have repeatedly said that you were the key ingredient to making it as smooth and wonderful as it was. Everything was simply beautiful and we never had to worry about scheduling, timing, or what guests and vendors were doing. All of my family and friends have also commented on how smooth the day went - one cousin even inquired after hiring you! Results speak for themselves and our day was simply the best thanks to you. Both James and I would recommend you in a heartbeat!

All the best,
Jeane (and James) Lakin"

Liz and Karim's Wedding!

PhotobucketLiz and Karim were married on August 2nd, 2008. It was a gorgeous Saturday evening in Seattle's Parson's garden; filled with so much love, creativity, and silliness! I absolutely adore this couple, as do their friends and family who traveled great distances to share this with them! There was laughter and joy everywhere you looked. I am so lucky to have been a part of this wonderful couple's wedding, and the year of planning prior! I can't wait to hear what the future brings. Liz and Karim thank you so much for spending the last year of your lives with me, and letting me share this day with you. It was a pleasure!

Happy Anniversary Rachelle and Brad!

Photobucket
The Woodland Park Zoo's rose garden was in full bloom as Rachelle and Brad exchanged vows on August 10th, 2007. Rachelle looked stunning in her customized red trimmed gown, and Brad handsome in his zoot suit. Rachelle and Brad were probably my "coolest" couple last year. Everything about their wedding had its own unique style and fresh feel. They were such a fun couple to work with! I'm sure their first year of marriage had as much fun flair as their wedding day!
