The Wedding Industry's Night of the Year!!!!
A BIG Easy Weddings Thank you to everyone involved in the night.
Firstly, we need to give thanks to the suppliers who helped us pull together this great event, they are:
Red Scooter - The Venue
Peppers Springs Retreat - Major Prize
DJ's Alive - DJ / MC
Spa Angels - Massage
Pole Divas - Prize
Soul Divas - Live Entertainment
Ivory Design - Design and Printing of Invitations
Classic Impressions Photography - Photography (See Below)
What can we say but from the expressions on every guests face who turned up…… “WOW!” From the professional service to the glamour of the venue, the night was one night of the year you couldn't afford to miss. What a massive turn out for such a busy time of year, everyone who was there gained and learnt something new about themselves as well as many other professionals in the wedding Industry.
Each guest arrived a little hesitant and not knowing what was in store for them, but as soon as they were friendly greeted by such a professional team (Ellie, Bruce, Derek, Katrina and Stephen from Easy Weddings and the staff from Red Scooter) the night was destined to be a success. With over 250 suppliers attending from all parts of Victoria alone, Red Scooter started to fill with friendly faces, flowing red daiquiris and groovy music from the band Soul Diva's. The night ran smoothly through a networking game coordinated by the Kymara from Easy Weddings and Rob from DJ's Alive. No guest was left unspoken to, laughed with or served with something to eat.
If anyone was stressed out from talking to too many new people they were graciously massaged by the lovely lady (Jasmine) from Spa Angels. She certainly was one of the most popular people on the night. Thanks Jasmine and Jacci!
Many people have commented that a valuable aspect of the night was learning about all the other small businesses within this industry. Many made some new friendships and valuable business connections and it was very clear through the feedback on the night that every business there are all striving to deliver the best service and value to Brides and Grooms as well as supporting each other.
Prizes were received with open arms; The lucky winners were:
Through a well delivered speech from The Managing Director Matt Butterworth from Easy Weddings to Eammon Hamilton (The Boss man) from Red Scooter, the Night followed on by Rob (DJ'S Alive) eclectic tunes.
No one left empty handed. All filled with a full belly, heavy pockets and purses loaded up with business cards, numbers and without a doubt new friendships and business ventures planned, to a yummie Christmas gift bag from some of Easy Weddings great and friendly supporters.
Spa Angels / Three M's Fashion Jewellery / Pole Divas / Soul divas / The Invitation Factory / Port Melbourne Photography / Take us to Thailand.
Over all the night has to be voted the most successful Industry night of 2008 for all involved and from the overwhelming response that next year's event will definitely be even bigger and better. Stay tuned for the date coz it's a night you can't afford to miss out on!
From all of the Team at Easy Weddings thank you to all the sponsors and especially to all those businesses who came.
Another congratulations to everyone who attended on the night because without your help we would never have raised $1350.
