Kansas City Workshop for Brides-to-be! February 5, 2009

Okay, all of you engaged ladies (and gentlemen)… I’ve got some fantastic news for you!

Plan to attend:

Engaged!

Saturday, March 21st

1 p.m. – 4 p.m.

Third Eye Event Space (2024 Main Kansas City, MO)

I am SUPER excited to partner with KiSS Events on the Engaged! workshop — an absolutely FREE event for brides-to-be and their guests. The event is bringing together some fantastic wedding vendors in the Kansas City area for an afternoon of candid conversation, tips from the pros, door prizes (including a free portrait shoot with ericamay!), food, drinks and FUN. :)

The awesome Sharon from KiSS Events describes the event like this:

“It is not a bridal fair, bridal show or open house and it’s definitely not a sales pitch.  Engaged! is a fun and inspiring hands-on event designed to equip brides with the tools to plan a wedding. The workshop will be more like an episode of Oprah meets Martha Stewart, all about weddings and insider tips!”

I am super excited to meet brides, grooms, mothers of brides, and help them learn a little bit about wedding photography and how to choose the best photographer for their special day. I would LOVE to see some ericamay brides attend — and who would want to miss the chance to meet other KC vendors, get their advice, AND also be entered for a FREE WEDDING COORDINATION package (with KiSS Events, of course!).

Here’s the thing — it’s totally free of charge. It’s only a few hours. And space is very limited. Registration is required to attend, so head on over to www.engagedworkshop.com for more details and to register!

If you have any questions, leave a comment here and I’ll be glad to help you out! This is the PERFECT event for brides who are wanting to learn more about the options, ideas, details and necessary vendors for their awesome wedding day plans.

I hope to see you there!!

Kansas City Wedding Coordinator: Sharon Turner November 4, 2008

Last week, I had the honor of taking headshots for an up-and-coming wedding coordinator, Sharon Turner. Sharon serves Kansas City area brides and grooms with a variety of wedding coordination skills — with packages that range from minimal involvement to planning every detail of the big event, Sharon’s services are designed to fit with any type of wedding and work with a variety of budgets.

Sharon and her husband moved to Kansas in 2003, leaving their home in Long Island, New York. She said they were told they were crazy by New Yorkers and Kansans alike, but they immediately fell in love with their home.

The biggest challenge, she said, was getting used to the lingo. Lollipops were “suckers,” soda was “pop,” a bag was a “sack,” and pie was apple or pumpkin…not the pepperoni (pizza) kind she was used to. :) And rush hour traffic? It was just that – one hour.

What she loves about Kansas was that even with all of the changes, there were still some constants. And couples who were not expecting to use a wedding coordinator soon realized they wanted someone to make sure all of their plans came together. Enter: Sharon Turner. :)

She has been helping couples with a variety of backgrounds make their wedding day perfect since 2004. Whether you want someone to assist in all of the detailed planning from the day you get engaged, or you just need a coordinator to help during the last few weeks of “crunch time,” Sharon offers customized plans.

With a touch of New York flair, Sharon helps create moments so you can look back and say, “Yeah, my wedding day was the best day of my life.” :)

If you’ve even remotely considered having a wedding coordinator help out with the details and checklists and errand-running, click here for Sharon’s contact information. Her list of services is just too long to list…just e-mail her for the details!
