THE Candy Buffet of Candy Buffet's

Simply Stunning and too beautiful to touch is what I heard all night about the candy buffet at my latest event. Thanks to the impeccable taste, class and sophistication of my client Cicely we were able to pull of the dream candy buffet. We carried a Rasberry and Chocolate theme that was detailed down to the linen (Rasberry colored, and actually the name at the rental facility). There were fresh rasberries on the buffett which gave it that zest of rich color and fancy white and dark chocolates along with delectable made from scratch cupcakes with the best rasberry filling I have ever had. We also incorporated my clients Chandelier motif, placing an image decal on picks placed in each cupcake, along with a cute dainty chandelier we hung over the buffet table. Enough from me about it already check it out yourself.

Fave Wedding Ceremony Video!

One of the best wedding ceremonies I've seen. The energy, dancing and the joy and laughter coming from the guests just makes your heart smile. The fun is contagious, I am smiling ear to ear! OOHH the inspiration this has given me is beyond amazing. I can't wait for my opportunity to help a client pull something like this off. No this isn't for everyone, but if this looks like fun to you then let's get together and get this party started.


Wish I could have seen that reception.

Do You Really Need Event Insurance???

In the back of your mind you picture the inevitable happening, but what happens when it really does? Should you carry insurance for your event?

You plan the perfect event, spend lots of money to ensure that everything is just right, and at the blink of an eye all that time and money can be down the drain. Sounds like something from a bad dream but horrible things really do happen even when you have it all together and YOU do everything right. Is there insurance that can protect you in these cases.
The answer is yes, thankfully there is lots of carriers out there that are willing to protect you and your recover your losses in the case of some dreadful unforseen disaster at your event.
http://www.wedsafe.com/ had some real life stories of things that do go wrong that they cover.


Ten inches of rain fell in Virginia, State Highway 10 was closed. Bridal party members and guests couldn't get to reception site. Band, food, cake, flowers, photos all had to be cancelled.Amount Reimbursed Event Cancellation coverage – Wedding Event Cancellation / Postponement Plus: $25,000

Customer received message from the photographer saying he was out of business, would not be attending the wedding and would not be refunding the deposit. Amount Reimbursed through Loss of Deposits coverage – Wedding Event Cancellation / Postponement Plus: $1,515

Bride and groom held responsible for damaged carpet at reception.Claim paid by Property Damage coverage – Wedding Liability Insurance: $5,523.81


Bad things really do happen to good people, be prepared! When you are investing alot of money in an event, or more money than you are prepared to put up again if something goes wrong if you have to cancel/reschedule or pay for damages you should invest in Event Insurance.

Celebration Photobooths

The new craze is the photobooth, everybody wants one! Most don't even consider having an event without some interactive fun and this is the perfect option. As many photobooth businesses are starting to pop out of thin air one of the first to arise on the scene was Celebration Photobooth which first starting about 2 1/2 years ago. You may say a photobooth is a photobooth so I'll just go with the most affordable, Wrong! Every photobooth business is unique in its own way from the booth design and dimensions to the quality of the pictures and services included with the booth rental. Today I met with Theresa Syros for coffee, she runs Celebration Photobooth along with her husband. A delightful upbeat lady ready to do what she can to ensure that your experience is enjoyable. She gets joy out hearing the laughter that penetrates the air from behind the booth curtain, and the smiles that even the stiffest of characters wears once exiting, she claims that is inevitable to not let loose once the curtain closes and just have a good time creating a memory that often doubles as a keepsake for the guest and a scrapbook memory for the celebrant.

Checking out the JC Raulston Arboretum- I love this Place!

A sweltering day in June and I am busy sweating it out checking out a venue. I had been to the arboretum years ago on a date, but this time I am checking out the scene to see if it will be a match for a new client. The scene is just so surreal as if something from a magazine or a fairytale, the perfect place for an unforgettable wedding! Hidden paths and secret gardens around every corner you can't help but fall in love with this piece of nature. I took it all in with deep breaths I hope you enjoy the pictures!
