I recently had the opportunity to attend one of the areas coolest networking events. Here’s the down low from the brilliant mind behind the event, Matt Pine of Lifetime Films.
Couples planning a wedding in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (AND DAYTON MATT!!!) are so lucky. In the past couple of years, several hundred wedding specialists: caterers, florists, wedding coordinators, photographers – everyone you might need – have formed an extremely powerful networking web.
About 200 of us got together last Wednesday, July 14, A NIGHT OF NIBBLING: Wedding Vendors for Charity at the amazing Leapin’ Lizards Art Gallery. The event featured 4 of the area’s foremost caterers who vied for “Best of The Evening” title: Eatwell, A La Cart, Bensons, and Creations by Melody.
We all sampled their dishes and voted for our favorites, paying $5 for each ballot. We collected quite a bit of money, of which 100% went to charities designated by the caterers. Donations were made to Lighthouse Youth Services, Cincinnati Parks, USO-Operation Enduring Care, and The Greenacres Foundation Equine Center. The charities benefited, and the vendors had a blast.
As an added bonus my dear friend Tracy Bellman (T-Bell as I know her) of Tres Belle Cakes provided some delectable cupcakes. The incredible Jeff Martin of Le Sucre Bakery entertained us all by deconstructing a traditional wedding cake Jackson Pollack style. It was something to see.
We had a great time at this event… here’s a few of my picture highlights from the evening.
A great time was had by all! It always feel so good to be able to give to charity in a fun and exciting way!
Till next time vendor friends….
