NACE/ABC Joint Wedding Event at Mission Inn Resort
Being asked to plan this industry event was such an honor. Both the Orlando Chapter of the National Association of Catering and Events and the Association of Bridal Consultants have a joint ‘wedding’ meeting each year. This is where over 100 industry professionals gather to experience a gorgeous venue, great food and good company!
We were brought in to incorporate Fiesta Wedding Inspiration into this industry’s event. This is such a fun theme and something we are seeing more and more of, even for weddings! There are couples that are wanting to tie in Spanish-style details into their special day, and this is a great place to start. We wanted to work with vendors who were willing to come together as a team to make this vision happen, and even built some new relationships along the way!
As fellow industry vendors arrived, they entered the ballroom foyer for cocktail hour. There were vibrant fuchsia linens, a fun paper flower wall and a sangria station. Mission Inn provided delicious appetizers for guests to enjoy as well. After some time, we had them transition into La Hacienda for Dinner. This space was dressed perfectly for Fiesta Wedding Inspiration! We kept the table linens neutral, in order to bring in more vibrant colors throughout the tabletopdecor. Atmospheres Floral really knocked it out of the park with the centerpieces and fun decor elements.
During dinner, our guests enjoyed learning about Marketing to Today’s Couple, a presentation given by Lauren Grove of Every Last Detail. Quite possibly our favorite part of the evening happened after dinner. We had a separate dessert reception waiting for our guests in another room. Complete with lounge furniture, a flaming flan station and yummy treats, it was a great place to relax and continue socializing with your peers after a delicious meal!
We really can’t thank all of the sponsors enough for all their time & attention to make this Fiesta Wedding Inspiration vision a reality!
