WOW! How in the world is it already Christmas? It seems like just yesterday we were burning up outside while moving from downtown to our new location!  The past 4-5 months have gone by so quickly and I expect the next 3 to do the exact same as we have our Bridal Benchmark Series & Venue Hop coming up.  We also have 3 new confirmed vendors for the Studio and a few more that we’re meeting with in the next few weeks.  We couldn’t be happier with how our events went this Fall and the participation of all of our vendors and are excited to carry that through 2012.  We will also be at the Bridal Show on January 15th – so you’re welcome to stop by and say hi.

I just wanted to let you know that we will be in the Studio today and tomorrow, but out the rest of the week to share the holiday season with our families, but we’ll be back in next Monday!  Be sure to let all of the ladies you know that get engaged during Christmas about the Studio! We can help them from the very beginning to the end and it’s no charge to them!!

The Fall 2011 Venue Hop described in one word was AWESOME.  I’m not just saying that, it truly was.  We had some last minute reservations come in on Saturday and they were okay with driving, so we had 2 stretch hummers from Gold Shield as well as a Stretch Limo from them, plus 3 cars of folks following a limo.

The Venue Hop is virtually a bridal show on wheels! The Hop consists of stops at our 5 Venues that are Studio Members: The Carrick House, Marriott Griffin Gate, Ashley Inn Bed & Breakfast, Crowne Plaza and Headley-Whitney Museum. At each stop there were studio members there to greet the Brides, as well as a tour through each of the venues.  This is a great opportunity for Brides who are unsure of what venue they want to have their wedding at and Brides who still need some vendors.

After the Brides enjoyed a full day they were greeted with swag bags and Tinker’s cake pops back at the Carrick House!  Our Spring 2012 Venue Hop will be in March, a date will be released soon!

Yesterday we participated in Simply Love Studio’s Extreme Venue Hop. Brides, grooms, and their family and friends cruised Lexington and beyond in beautiful limousines, visiting some of the most beautiful venues around. Our very favorite, Always Planned (an amazing wedding planning firm) and ourselves were set up at the Headley-Whitney. This venue is GORgeous, and an amazing location for a wedding. We had a blast with all the people that came through.  Good luck to all the couples that came through!  Happy Planning!
