From Day One!


Starting a new business is quite the process and it can be a little scary. Well as most of you know I am going through the initiation of building my business, BrideAndGroomPlanner.com of New Orleans. There are many things to do and plenty of people to meet to reveal my true character and what I have to offer.

One person comes to mind when I think of the first day I plunged into the world of wedding industry professionals, Christine Breaux of Weddings In Style Magazine. I will never forget how we met. I attended a meeting at the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau, where Christine was the guest speaker. I was astonished in amazement on how knowledgeable, smart, classy, and funny she was while she worked the room. She spoke of trends in the industry, and gave us advice on destination brides. In a seconds notice, Christine points to me out of a crowded room and asks, "Why are you here", I was obviously nervous, but proudly explained! Her idea for pointing me out and asking me this question was to show that we were all there for the same reason. Immediately after leaving this meeting I sent Christine a follow up email expressing my thoughts on how I felt about her and would appreciate it if we could stay in touch. From day one, Christine has been a kind source of knowledge for me and has been extremely supportive while extending her expertise. It is so nice to know that we as wedding industry professionals have a support system within each other.

Christine and her team at Weddings In Style Magazine are working so hard to make the wedding planning experience less stressful. Her new issue of the magazine was just released and coming up soon on February 28, 2010, they will have their next bridal show at Westin Canal Place.
