Newlyweds~ Mrs. & Mrs. Maxon

What a beautiful day!! I wanted to give my shout outs here this lovely Monday Morning to the wonderful team I had on 10.10 a.k.a Jenny and Marcus's wedding day!

The ceremony was , well, you had to be there! I'm still not sure if the Preist got their name's right. ( Poor Guy he was 92 years old and many times forgot we were there for a wedding). Everyone was amused, and as for my fellow vendors and I, we could barely keep from rolling on the floor.

Each side of the altar was adorned with beautiful gold trees 8' & 10' in height, in gold, dripping with white roses and candles... courtsey of THE GARAGE BY IVY.

And then the picture frenzy began, MANDY HANK PHOTOGRAPHY rockstar photographer, led the pack with 2 assistants, capturing some really fab pics!

The reception was at SCOTTSDALE RESORT & CONFERENCE CENTER. And I have to say, I'm going to just live in a casita there. Debbie Spencer is amazing!!! So refreshing to be at a property who is a "well oiled" maching and that still caters to a bride on her big day! I'm looking forward to many more events there! I cannot say enough about the banquet captain, Linda. What a pleasure to work with such a great team! And the amazing pin spotting from the ceiling made everything pop!!

The ballroom, was adorned in 100's of candles in pillars and gold mercury glass, ivory damask linen, gold chargers, and piles of petals. Each guest had the pleasure of previewing the night's fair on beautiful custom stationary from THE EVENT ESSENTIALS. Each menu, table number, candle accent, and thank you tag was created with a custom family crest that combined the two families elements- created by the groom Marcus Maxon.

The glittery favor table was accented by hand beaded gold couture linens from BBJ Linen. As were the head table and cake tables. Favors were individual gold godiva boxes of truffles, enhanced with the unique favor tags.

The night began with a unique suprise for the groom and avid lover of Opera, we brought in 2 opera singers from GOT YOU COVERED, in tuxedos and gold sequin gown to sing through a slide show created by Mandy including pics from the ceremony!

DJ Marcus from RAY THE DJ kept the unique guest list on the dance floor with great style...

And DANIEL WAGNER FILM PRODUCTIONS was there to capture the whole day !! I can't wait to see it all again!!

Specail Shout out to my assistant that day , intern Evelyn Kong at M2B, an absolute joy to have by my side!!

Congrats Jenny & Macus! Enjoy your honeymoon!!

Summer is winding down....

So it's time to hit the ground running again...and while the temperatures are still certainly in the triple digits, us wedding professionals are beginning to wrap our heads around the fall season! Personally my favorite season for weddings ( less freak rain storms to deal with) I am ready and anxious to get the show on the road! Lights , camera, action!

One last look back at a beautiful spring/summer season ......

Candice & Kevin's aTuscan Dream Wedding

On May 23rd, I had the pleasure to be apart of Candice & Kevin's wedding at Villa Siena~It was absolutely stunning...

From the dripping orchids that hung from the every chandelier to the most sweetest guest baskets every detail was meticulously chosen for the most descriminating tastes...

Candice had a very good friend come in to do a piano accompianment to the DJ- to songs from Akon and Usher! It was a blast!

Their first dance was a perfect C&K version of the evolution of dance started with streamer canons and ending with an energetic version of Jai Ho!!

It was an amazing night! For more pictures check out the website!

Here is a snip-it from the Newsletter from Fabulous Events!

Event Showcase

Trista Dunagan and Jason Schlosberg get married!
May 2, 2009Hotel Valley Ho - Scottsdale, AZ

After more than a year of planning, Jason and Trista were finally married on May 2, 2009 at the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale, AZ. From the start we had a clear vision of where our wedding should be located and what we wanted the ceremony and reception to look like. We booked the Hotel Valley Ho quickly - it exudes that retro "Rat Pack" vibe, but is modern and chic at the same time. Finding the right team to bring everything else together took a little longer. Regina Osgood from Meant2Be Events was a godsend. She got our vision and ran with it! The team from Table Tops, Etc. and SKM Entertainment brought the drama together with the lighting and florals. Tri Rentals provided the perfect chairs. F. Ferguson Photography was all set to capture the event on film. With all of that in place, we still hadn't found a vendor for our linens. I will admit that I had something very specific in mind, zebra print linens to the floor! After four months of searching and coming up with a dead end we finally found Fabulous Events. Lyle and the team were lifesavers! Our linens were beautiful - they were the perfect finishing touch to my Dream Wedding.

The moment we walked into the ballroom it was MAGIC! A big heartfelt "THANK YOU" to the Fabulous Events team! We couldn't have had our dream wedding without you!

Jennifer & Marcus Continued!

I realized that I have never posted any photos from Jennifer's day!

She was married this year at Sanctuary Resort & Spa...

Thanks Jen for letting me be a part of your special day!

Jennifer's kind words:

“Marcus and I would like to express our sincere gratitude for all your hard work for our wedding. Planning a destination wedding in Scottsdale from Dallas, Texas proved to be quite challenging, but having your help in the final month made all the difference.

I was impressed that you took the initiative to contact all our vendors and let them know you would be working with us. It was so much easier to communicate through you rather that having to deal with each vendor separately. And when our pastor backed out at the last minute, you stepped in and saved the day!

When it came to the day of the wedding, you handled all the little snafus with ease and gave me the peace of mind that every bride needs on her wedding day. The timeline you developed for us made the reception flow perfectly. At the end of the evening the groom remarked that hiring you was a “great call.” Even he noticed! You were a pleasure to work with and your service was truly invaluable to us. Thank you for helping make our wedding day stress-free and all smiles!"

Kristin & Jason are Married!

Kristin and Jason tied the knot May 10th at scenic A Different Pointe of View Restaraunt! The location is stunning and is still a little known gem even though it has been around for years! If you haven't been ~ make a reservation soon...the food is to die for!

Guests were greated with a champagne toast and fruit display~ my absolute favorite way to begin the festivities. Ceremony began with a jazz trio and bridesmaids in eggplant purple. Programs complimented them in shimmery plum. Gorgeouse ceremony flowers adorned the newly erected gazebo at ADPOV provided by Table Tops Etc. Cocktails followed.

Thanks so much for letting me share in your day! And many thanks to the vendors who made it happen!

A note from Kristen:
"Regina made the entire planning process simple: straight-forward, organized, and fun. Based on only a few meetings, Regina knew exactly what we were looking for in a location site and found us the perfect place without having to take the time to visit a bunch of disappointing locations that just did not fit what we were looking for. Her enthusiasm, experience, and knowledge of the wedding industry , especially in the Phoenix area is indispensable to anyone planning a wedding! I would not recommend planning a wedding without talking to Regina first!"

Congrats to Danielle & Garrett

Danielle and Garrett were married in March at Triology Golf~ Vistancia! It was a beautiful ceremony~ Danielle and Garrett did a sand ceremony with a special dedication to their mothers in the service.

The party was really amazing~ and very unique! Designed by Meant2Be Events, we used black feathers for the centerpeices provided by Cactus Flowers and really gorgeous dramatic linens from BBJ in Picca Dilly. Dancing the night away with SKM Entertainment~ no one was able to keep their shoes on.They drove off in style in a Vintage Bentley~ Congrats Danielle & Garrett! And thank you Award Winning Photography ~ the pictures look great!


A message from Danielle:

"My wedding was really fantastic~ I am a little different then your average bride! My wedding was very 1940's and Regina nailed it! It was so much better then we had expected! She designed the tables from head to toe and I didn't have to worry about a thing! I have already reffered all of my clients to her!!! "

Congrats Jennifer & Marcus!

Check out the latest pictures from Jennifer & Jason's wedding! It was absolutely stunning overlooking the Camelback Mountains from the lawn at Sanctuary Resort & Spa...Thanks again Jennifer & Marcus for letting me be apart of your special day!

Michelle & Colin Are Married!!!

Another memorable wedding at the Valley HO! The ceremony was amazing!
It was set in a circle so that Colin and Michelle were right in the middle surrounded by lavender rose petals. She walked down a staircase and through an aisle created with Shepard's hooks and hanging glass vases with Irish belles and deep purple Schwartz calla lilies! It was breathtaking! This is where I always tear up!

The reception and cocktail hour were on the roof and the weather couldn't have been more perfect! (Quite warm while I was running around creating their table settings, but perfect when the sunset for cocktail hour!) They had a monogram created for the dance floor and LED lighted centerpieces that as the sun set, came to life and created an amazing glowing reception in shades of purple, pink and green....contrasted by the white lights of the custom monogram!

Michelle & Colin had stations for the dinner service and all of the guests "Sang for their Supper"

Each table had to chose a song with the word "LOVE" in it & serenade the Bride and Groom to be released for their dinner. It really got the tables to loosen up and all the guests had a great time!

I wish them the very best & am very thankful to be a part of their day!

Also a big thank you to the Valley Ho for their superb service,

Table Tops, Etc for the most exquisite arrangments,

SKM Entertainment for a rockn' party, and

Artisan Photgraphy for capturing it all so effortlessly!

Hear from Michelle:

"Regina was exceptional! Our wedding was planned to every detail. It was not caotic at all. I was calm as could be and was able to just concentrate on the reason I was there-to marry my best friend. "

Jessica & Ryan are married!

Jessica and Ryan got married!

It was really great! The ceremony (although windy) was wonderful! The roof top at the Valley Ho has a view unlike any other property in the valley. The staff at the Ho was amazing and very accomodating to the changing weather conditions!

Jessica just glowed in her beautiful ivory gown! I will share photos once they are processed!

Another happy couple on their way to a beautiful life together!

Congrats!
