This past Tuesday, November 21st we had our WPIC “Holiday Business Jive After 5” at The Vogue Studios.
What a fun night! This was a sold out event for twenty of our amazing WPIC alumni.
Co-founders, Danielle Andrews and Tracey Manailescu had a blast planning this event. It’s so great to be able to have in-person thoughtful and meaningful disucsussions with like-minded wedding pros.
The studio was decorated so beautifully by WPIC alumni, Margarita of Oudalova Events Design.
There was plenty of time to get to know each other better, and have our photos taken by the wonderful Kofi Asem Photography.
We announced the return of our WPIC Kickoff and WPIC Wedding Awards, which will take place on Saturday, February 24, 2024 at Renaissance by the Creek. We gave a prize (a ticket to attend the Kickoff) to the “most glam” attendee. The winner was Anastasiia Tyndiuk (wearing the beautiful green gown)!
We had Moët champagne, a signature drink, non-alcoholic drinks, an amazing charcuterie board by Chef Todds Kitchen, along with lots of other appetizers and desserts.
The evening started out mingling, and then we broke it down to groups of four, and then two for structured and specific discussions on what we have learned from 2023’s wedding season that we need to work on, and then how we can make 2024 the best year yet for our wedding businesses. We then came back for a group discussion and mingled some more.
A special mention of appreciation to these two wonderful ladies who came all of the way from Ottawa, ON (Veronica on the right) and London, ON (Rachel on the left) to join us for the evening. We appreciate you!
Until next time! Happy holidays to all.
