These are images from the 75th Anniversary of Bobby Jones' Grand Slam of Golf. This event took place in September of 2005 and was attended by dignitaries in the golf community from across the globe. It was one of my most challenging events to date. I was asked to orchestrate an airshow on time with a band, and organize a seated dinner for 300 people on the 10th fairway at the Atlanta Athletic Club. The event spanned three days and ended with a gala on Saturday night. Today marks three years since I planned that event, but I still look to it for inspiration!

The Gentry's

There are so many things about this couple and this wedding that I love that I can't just use one post! Kari Beth and Josh are so adorable and in love and they were such a JOY to work with. I have to say the most easy-going bride I've ever encountered. The images that Laura Negri captured are so amazing, I can't stop looking at them. These are a few of my favorites. The triplet ring bearers were to die for, I told their mom I wanted to start renting them for weddings, you just can't get any cuter! And how about that custom floral pillow Foxgloves & Ivy created for them to carry down the aisle! This pink and green July wedding was fantastic! Look for more detailed images soon.

The Special Event Leadership Brunch

These are images from the Special Event Leadership Brunch I was asked to chair in January 2008. It was a huge honor to be selected out of hundreds of polished event professionals in Atlanta to chair this event during the huge convention that landed in Atlanta. For more information on the tradeshow and conference please visit http://www.thespecialeventshow.com/ . The event was held at the Fabulous Fox Theatre and featured custom linens from Tabletoppers, Inc and an exquisite meal by Divine Events. Organizing this event for the tradeshow attendees was definitely a highlight of my career. The theme of the event was "Creating Legacy" and we were able to give back to the SEARCH foundation, which was created to aid those in the special event community who have come in the path of a disaster. I'm looking forward to the Special Event show in San Diego this year!

Blogging Neophyte

I suppose if everyone jumped off a bridge, as would I. I have given into the temptation of blogging. I can't promise I will keep this as up to date as I hope but I look forward to using this tool to keeping my clients and friends up to date on my whirlwind life as a seasoned event professional, and budding wedding professional. As my company, TOAST starts to grow I'll use this for updates, images and venting (only under extreme circumstances).

Cheers!
