Shoe Love

I would probably never have a place to wear these shoes! BUT, they are the same shoes that Samantha wore in the Sex and the City movie when she was "live" sushi for Smith.

Premier Bride

So now that I am with a fantastic hotel, along with it comes some exciting perks to my job. Now this may not seem major to everyone but to me it was the highlight of my day.

Today we hosted the Premier Bridal Magazine's Power Luncheon at our hotel. We have a wonderful relationship with the magazine and we also advertise with them. I was surrounded by industry professionals and got to see it from the vendor side instead of the visitor side. I am definitely looking forward to working more with brides in addition to my corporate accounts. Premier Bride Richmond

Now I know I mentioned the exciting perks so here are just a few of the super-awesome-fantastic-P.I.M.P. perks that I get to indulge in at times.

-Seeing the upcoming industry trends before it hits bridal magazines
-Cake tastings with the bakers (yes please!)
-Food tastings with my clients
-Pairing wines
-Wine tasting
-Floral Samples
-Discounts on most photographers, party rentals, viedographers etc.

Needless to say, I am loving life!

Life as a Convention Services Manager
