Cirque Du Soleil

As many in the Seattle area know by now, the Cirque Du Soleil show Corteo is in town. Lucky me, my husband got us tickets for my birthday and it was amazing. The music, the choreography, the acrobatics, the costumes, the lighting - every detail was amazing, breath taking and had fabulous humor thrown in as well. Highlights from the show included the little person they attached huge balloons and floated around the audience (I couldn’t stop giggling) and the Master of Ceremonies who could whistle like I’ve never heard before. If you can go don’t miss it!

Myself and Kerra Breum of “I Do” Weddings have been in talks of merging our businesses to become a better event planning service for our clients. Kerra would focus on weddings, I would focus on business events, her marketing skills will be a great compliment to my organization skills, and overall would be great to have someone to always bounce ideas off of. This is currently only in the works so stay tuned for more information.

Last week I met with Liz and Erin of A Small Victory. I will be volunteering for their non-profit organization by setting up their charity garage sale and helping them procure items for their May 2009 auction and dinner. All proceeds from the events will be used to create additional bereavement kits that will be sent to parents who have lost a child through miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal loss. A Small Victory is the only organization of it’s kind currently available in the United States. It takes $100.00 to put together and mail each kit at this time. If you would like to help by donating an item for the garage sale contact me. If you’d like to make a monetary donation to support A Small Victory please check out their Web site and contact them directly.

On Saturday, my husband and I drove up to Snohomish to Jardin Del Sol where I met with the owner, Melanie. I am planning the July Washington Association of Bridal Consultants meeting and Melanie has offered her venue to host the event. The space is a beautiful outdoor garden space with patio and a tented area for eating. I’m looking forward to pulling all of the details together and will be focusing on making sure our wedding clients are getting all the pre-wedding services they need such as pre-marital counseling or meeting with a nutritionist. 

Stay tuned next week for my experience shadowing Niki with Blue Danube Productions as well as May’s ABC Meeting.
