Nashville Wedding Vendors | Meetup at Cabana

December 21, 2009 in Blog, Uncategorized | 1 Comment

As Nashville Wedding Vendors, it’s great to take a break from work & get together and just have fun! Last week some of the finest Nashville area wedding vendors met up at Cabana in Hillsboro Village.

It was a great opportunity for some of us to meet each other outside of the virtual world (i.e. twitter, facebook & admiring one another’s websites!).

Thanks to Vickie Stanton of Bella Weddings for organizing this get together for all wedding vendors & I’m sure we’ll have many more to come!

Amy Thomas of Swizzle Events, Vickie Stanton of Bella Weddings, and Amy McNeil of 4th Leaf Studio started the night out with a Sweet-tini. Vickie described it as an “alcoholic Arnold Palmer,” and that sounded pretty good to me!

I started the night out by ordering some fries and I definitely didn’t read the menu correctly because this is what I got… I was expecting amazing cheesy, bacony fries like the ones at Outback but no such luck…

Vickie is seen here with Latrice of Bridal Opulence and Kristyn Hogan, one of my fellow Nashville PUG members!

I was soooo excited to meet these two! Lorie Burcham of Crumb de la Crumb and Amy Thomas of Swizzle Events. I had been tweeting with both of them for quite some time before I met them! Lorie and her husband just moved to town & we are so glad to have another talented duo to add to the Nashville Wedding Vendor mix!

Eugene and Heather of 2Duce2 Videography
are just the cutest! This fabulous team of videographers is seriously changing how the wedding industry thinks about typical wedding videography. If you don’t know about them, go checkout their website now.

Michelle of Hartz Photographic, Sharon of Jonathon Campbell Photography and Amy are enjoying our fun time @ Cabana. I have really enjoyed getting to know both Sharon and Michelle at the Nashville PUG meetings for photographers!

I was delighted to see Bill & Deanna again of First Dance Pictures. We worked on Katie & Jon’s wedding together back in September and they did a great job.

Last but not least, here’s Vickie, Emily Humphries of Simply Yours Weddings and I wrapping up the night! I absolutely ADORE both of these women and have loved getting to know them both. I can’t wait til we actually do a wedding together! {Krystin Hogan took this awesome picture!}

Twitter is the way we’ve been organizing most of the Nashville area wedding vendor meetups, so follow up & come join us next time! See my list of Nashville Wedding Vendors on Twitter.

I thoroughly enjoy getting to know all of these vendors & am looking forward to our next meetup.

p.s. This is how our evening ended… I won’t mention who these belong to! :)
