Â
2007 is quickly drawing to a close and a NEW 2008 is rapidly approaching…..
Â
I wanted to reflect on this AMAZING year
Â
January marks the beginning of my 8th year in wedding consulting, as owner of The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants.
Â
This past year I achieved several milestones:
Â
Â
The Queen of Hearts was named to “Best of The Knot†2007, the Grace Ormonde Wedding Style’s Platinum 5 Start List, as well as being nominated as one of the top wedding consultants in Fox’s Hot List.
Â
I was privileged to have worked with The Emily Post Institute on three books which came out this year – The Wedding Planner 4th edition, Emily Post’s Planner for Moms, and Emily Post’s Party Planner.
Â
During the ‘off season†( Not that there REALLY IS an ‘off’ season) I was invited to speak to several industry related groups ranging from local catering and photography associations to regional associations for wedding consultants and an international conference for videographers.
Â
Obviously, I’m really excited about the great and very diverse couples I had the honor to work with this year…
Â
My clients this year were Russian Orthodox, and Hindu as well as Catholic, Jewish and Christian….
Â
Their ethnicity ran the gamut from Indian, Irish, and Mexican, to Chinese-American, and Filipino….
Â
I had the privilege of working with interracial couples, same sex couple and interfaith couples…
Â
I worked with local brides, brides whose fiancés were deployed over seas, I worked with couples in four time zones, as well as local moms; and planned several Green/ Eco -Friendly/ Sustainable weddings…
Â
I’m really excited that my clients are so diverse – I can honestly say I’m working with fun, loving people who I’m able to build great relationships with – and that’s exactly where I wanted my business to be.
Â
This has truly been a year I’m proud of, and I thank all of you who were a part of it…
Â
Thanks to all of you with whom I’m currently working- I value my relationship with all of you…
Â
I wish all of you a Happy 2008 and a year of Health, Hearts and Happiness

PS – I’m hiding out for a few days to reflect and rest and will be back in the office on Wednesday, January 2nd
