NEXT WEDDING WORKSHOP
On February 24th, 2008 a Wedding Workshop will be held in
The Bridal Think Tank - You have an evening of sitting with other brides to talk about your concerns and share ideas that you have each come up with.
Electronic Workbook - Upon registration, you will receive via email, a workbook that has a budget sheet, MC checklist, Wedding Emergency Kit checklist, Guest List Merge abilities, etc.
Details R Us – It’s all in the details! As a Wedding planner myself, I know that the little details are what make or break a wedding. At the work shop, you will be given a heads up on what to watch for when booking a DJ, florist, photographer, what you should talk about with the caterer and how to delegate to the people helping out with the wedding.
Problem Solving – You will receive tips on how to problem solve if plans don’t go your way. You will be given scenarios and you can discuss them as a group.
Vendor Analysis – At the workshop, you will have access to a list of vendors that range from low to higher budgets. This list has been compiled with great detail and from this list you can create your own mini list of whom you may want to contact.
Ideas Galore – If you want to find a way to make your wedding memorable and unique, you will have the opportunity to find a way to make the wedding day reflect you as a couple. You will be able to plan the theme of your wedding to the very last little detail.
Register BEFORE March 15th, 2007 For cost savings. Brides of the Round Table - At the end of the evening, we will have a question and answer session to
eliminate any fears you may have about planning the wedding.
The Workshop will be held on February 24th, 2008 from 12:30 pm – 5:00 pm and will be located at: The Scandinavian Centre
The Cost of the workshop is $54.99 (+GST). If you register BEFORE February 1st, 2008, I will knock off $4.99 for your fee AND you will be able to bring one guest** for an additional $25 (+GST). Class size is limited and this offer is only good until Midnight February 1st, 2008.

Shining Moments is on it's own
Well, I just wanted to clarify for some people that my company, Shining Moments Consulting, will no longer be contracting its services through A Moment Like This Wedding Planners. I still support AMLTWP and wish them continued success. Working with them over the last 9 months has been a GREAT experience.
I will still be providing event planning services. I will also be operating the Wedding Bazaar, but instead I will be doing it on my own as well as the Wedding Workshops that I have done in the past. Nothing has really changed in the stand point of Shining Moments Consulting except that I will be advertising my own company again and it's my company name at the top of the contract instead of AMLTWP's.
So watch for more exciting ventures and deals from Shining Moments in the new year!
Happy New Year,
Teresa Reimer

A New Addition
For the last six weeks I have been a little preoccupied. As some people know, I was expecting a baby at the time of the Wedding Bazaar. I was supposed to have three weeks to go, but my newest addition to my family felt like he needed to arrive earlier. Jacob was born on November 6th.
As a planner, his early arrival sort of threw a wrench in my arrangements. Luckily I had some prior arrangements made but I was also going to have a birthday party that following weekend for my daughter who was turning 3 the day before Jacob was due. Therefore we were having her party ahead of time. Little did we know that Jacob obviously felt he needed to be the center of attention instead. I had made arrangements for helpers to come in and work at the party and luckily I wasn't needing to cancel it. Everyone helped out to ensure that Cassidy still had her special day, even though Jacob was only 5 days old.
How does any of this relate to being a wedding planner, you ask? Well, it is just another example of how "you never know what to expect" and how you deal with these interruptions is going to affect the outcome of any special day.
One aspect of a great wedding planner, is being able to think quickly on your feet. When looking for a wedding planner, they obviously need to be organized, but they have to be able to make split second decisions that will still give your day the "feel" that you are looking for.
From cake disasters to wedding crashers, a bride & groom shouldn't be bothered. That is what a wedding planner is for, to take care of these issues on the day of your function.

Wedding Bazaar Turnout!
This past weekend we held a first time ever Wedding Bazaar.
This event was designed for past brides to come in and sell off their wedding dresses or ANYTHING that was wedding related (eg. arches, tulle, ring pillows, flower girl dresses, baskets, vases, etc). This being the first time, there a handful of tables rented for selling items. Then we added six different vendors that were experts in helping brides save money & have fun for their wedding planning. Finally we had a wedding dress wholesaler come in and sell off her sample stock (with prices as low as $100 per dress), as well as 20 other dresses registered from past brides. We had quite a few brides trying dresses on in the on site fitting rooms and a there were some brides that found "the one!"
We had just under 100 people attend and we collected donations to a Charity called Basics for Babies.
Overall, the event was good, now this next one will be bigger & better!
We are going to hold this event possibly twice a year (fall & spring).
Watch for the next one to be in April 2008!
Here's some pictures from the event!
