Why we do what we do

Today I received the BEST thank you email. Actually, I received two...

My great couple from this Saturday, Jessica & Jeff both sent me thank you "notes" earlier today. I must admit, although I'm a real sap, the double take today caught me off guard. Working so closely together in a two month period, Jessica and I have definitely developed a friendship but the real kicker was the email I received from the Groom:

Hi Isis! I am great. It's funny, because everyone has asked me if I was nervous, and I say no. Alot of that is because I was so ready to marry Jessica, but it was also because I knew that everything was in good hands. You really did do an amazing job getting things set up for us, so that all we had to do was get dressed and enjoy being around our families and loved ones. You did such a wonderful job, and I will no doubt refer anyone I know in need of help to you and your staff. You really did make this such a memorable experience, and every single person who attended has gushed over how perfect it all was.

Once again, thank you!

Yup, makes it all worthwhile!

The Difference

I'm constantly contacted by Brides to be who ask a very valid question-"what makes you different?".

As my business has evolved, so has my answer.

When you initially enter this business (as in many), you value yourself by your certifications, the number of courses you've complete, the number of weddings, range of budgets, cultural weddings you've planned and locations you've travelled to. 5 years later, I realize that while my "resume" of events have expanded, what makes me different, are the principles by which POSH is operated.

I began this business because of my love of the industry and because I wanted to give a "voice" to couples whose Wedding did not necessarily "fit" the general mold of what a Wedding typically is. From Blue dresses to non-traditional locations, I'm proud to say we've covered it all.

What makes me different is my appreciation for the beauty of being unique and my determination to see to it that YOU have the day YOU've always dreamed of.

As you search for your Vendors, be sure to ask them what makes them different and don't settle for "stumbling"; hey if they don't know, then who would?

Giving Thanks

Today is the day that we all give thanks for so many of the blessings we've received throughout the year and throughout our life.

Here at POSH, we have had an amazing year and would like to give thanks to all of the wonderful couples and Clients, that have allowed us to be a part of their lives and their special day. We also say thank you to all of our Vendors that help us make it all look so EASY. Without you, we certainly could not pull off all of the amazing events we've had this season.

2007 has been an unforgettable year for me. I personally, would like to thank my "dream team"- Malakeia, Nanette, Tammy and Beverly of B'dazzle Events. I am truly blessed with some of the best Assistants in the business. The business changed names, but the dream has only grown.

I also give a huge THANK YOU to my "coordinator" family. You see, I am merely the face of this business. My staff and Vendors are my day of support, but I have an entire support system of Wedding Coordinators from around the globe who inspire, encourage and assist me through it all. They are my 2 am phone buddies, my sounding boards and over the years, they've become my extended family.

I am thankful for many things this year. Most importantly, on May 25th, I received the greatest blessing I've ever known. His name is Christian and he is truly the light of my life. Today was his first Thanksgiving and though he did not get to partake in the amazing feast prepared by his Auntie Sai, he did try mashed and sweet potatoes for the first time and loved it-go figure!



Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Not so black Friday!

Ok ladies (guys, you can pretend not to read),

See you there!

Sweet Treat

Ok, so I know I've said it a million and one times, but I really do LOVE my job. I mean, what other job can you expense a trip to NY for the sole purpose of experiencing 40,000 square feet of chocolate indulgence???

Saturday I was fortunate enough to attend the 10th Annual Chocolate Show in my hometown of New York. As a die hard chocolate lover, I can appreciate the concept and the event was certainly no dissapointment!

I absolutely couldn't wait to get back and share pictures from the day. Mmmm, sweet indeed!

Yes ladies, how ideal is this! A wedding dress with chocolate accents...

I think i'm in love...



Overall, the experience was amazing and I'm sure I'll be back in 2008 to actually see the Fashion show take place. If you plan to attend next year, word to the wise- WILL CALL! The line at the show was literally 3 blocks long. We New Yorkers love a our sweets!
