Being in the wedding and event industry has afforded me many great moments. Meeting people from all walks of life from all over the world. It truly has been a wonderful journey. I feel so fortunate to be able to have a job that I am so passionate about. I like to find ways to continue my growth in this exciting industry of wedding and event planning.

I recently had an amazing opportunity to attend an event symposium with the incomparable David Tutera!!! Not only was my time with David insightful, educational, and rewarding, but Mr. Tutera is truly one of the nicest people one could ever meet.  The Symposium was filled with so much great information.  David, Joey and all of the presenters were amazing.  The hands-on workshops were great!  David and Joey made the 25 industry professionals attending feel so special and cared for.  At the end of each class day, we were treated to events in the evening with great food, entertainment, stunning decor and gifts. I met some amazing professional ladies who we had the shared passion for this industry. I created some bonds that I look forward to cultivating.  Here is a video clip from the event.

The key to success in this industry and any profession for that matter is to never stop exploring possibilities to learn, grow and be a part of the conversation. I travel across the states to attend many industry seminars, participate in webinars, discussions and reading many industry publications, etc.  I highly embrace the art of listening and also the willingness to share ones knowledge with others.  I love times when I am able to collaborate with other planners.  At Weddings by Gail, we want to provide the quality of knowledge for our clients. Staying on top of whats available and possible helps us to achieve the level of excellence that our clients deserves.  I appreciate Mr. Tutera, Joey and their team for executing a wonderful and memorable event planing symposium and I look forward to the next one in Bermuda!
