Congratulations Max and AliciaSaturday I helped my friend and fellow event planner Lori at a wedding she did in Boyle Heights. 300 people, who then met a couple of hours later at Town and Gown at USC. That was a little weird for me, being a life long bruin – I thought that any minute someone was going… |

Busy, Busy, BusyYes, it has been exactly one month and 27 days since my last post, which is like, unheard of in blogworld. So, what have I been doing? May 1st was Maggie’s Bat Mitzvah at the Friar’s Club, an old Hollywood institution that everyone’s heard of but no one’s really been to, probably because you usually… |

Kids Improv WorkshopI just hooked with the Total Improv for Kids troupe in North Hollywood. They’re putting together a series of workshops over the next couple of months to teach kids how to perform improv. Basically, the first half will be a show, and the second half will be a class that ends in the participants performing… |

The Gala – It was Chamber-tastic!So, I sat down next a good friend of mine from the Chamber last night, and sighed, “You know, there’s nothing like the end of an event that’s gone well – It tastes like freedom.” And it’s true, there’s just something about pulling all these separate threads together, all aimed towards a specific goal and… |

So FarSo, the crazy busy-ness of January has been replaced by the crazy busy-ness of February. I just got a gig as event manager for the Universal City/North Hollywood Chamber of Commerce’s annual gala on March 16th. Table sales and ad sales and general corporate event management, which is where my background is. It really is… |

Bridezilla Deathmatch: Christina vs. CallieSo, both of them just got proposed to on Grey’s Anatomy, and I thought, “Who would I rather work for?” Hmm…Christina, if she couldn’t convince Burke to elope, would probably want very little to do with planning it all, once she figured out where to have it and what to eat. That would be the… |

This was the first wedding I’ve done where the guests applauded the wedding party as they came down the aisle! Nate and Jen have pictures on their blog – I tried to take pictures on… |
