The Gallery held its first members meeting, but during the Holidays - it was a bit slow. There are a lot of changes about to take place, and the members (along with the clients that have heard about the changes) are all excited.

We will be hosting a make up meeting for those members that could not make it - on Tuesday, January 5th (2:00 - 3:15pm)and again at (6:00 - 7:15pm).

It will be a GREAT 2011!!]]> http://www.theweddingandeventgallery.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry101223-072140 2010-12-23T00:00:00Z 2010-12-23T00:00:00Z

Many brides, event planners, outside vendors and couples RSVP, and due to declining weather and possible traffic headache, half showed up. However, all of the vendors were pleased with the outcome. Many of the brides that were present were also happy - as many of them were able to walk away with multiple gifts and prizes.

The event was well received and future plans are being made now for additional events in the very near future.

I personally want to thank:

Beth Sparling with Honeymoons & Beyond
Lisa Lalaounis with Coastal Capana
Nate Garden & Kathi with Modern Display & Event Planners Tampa
Shannon Sturtz with Connie Duglin Linen
Cory Barron with Grant Hemond & Associates

For all of there help in getting the Gallery up and running smoothly before, during and after the show.
