What Happens When an Event Planner Plans Her Own Wedding?

-
We have a happy bride in the house!

Account Executive Brynne Price recently got engaged to the love of her life, Joe Peña.

Knowing how passionate and dedicated Brynne is at work,
we were just wondering:



What happens when an event planner plans her own wedding?


   “Three days after we got engaged, I had already made a floor plan and rough timeline for the wedding day. Is that not normal?” she quipped.

We know Brynne to be organized and creative in her work as an Account Executive here at EventWorks, so it comes as no surprise that both strengths shine as she plans for the big day.

  “I live and die by my Google drive.  Everything is in one, organized cloud-based program so that Joe and I can easily access things from wherever we are.  Vendor contracts, to-do lists, budgets, schedules – you name it.  Keeping organized is a must for any planner or in this case, any bride!”

“I will confess that I am a little crazy when it comes to the design – I just can’t help it!  The look of the day is really important to me, and yes, I made myself a little proposal with all the inspirational images.  Soon I will be forced to quit Pinterest.”










"We do have fun! This was our first time visiting the wedding venue."




  "There is certainly an unspoken pressure to execute the most amazing wedding ever because I’m a “professional” but I have the great pleasure of planning events all the time – this one is just extra special and personal.”
She smiles and continues, “Which makes it the most fun event I have ever worked on. I have to admit, it is a challenge at times not to have my personal wedding planning feel like work. The tasks and designing process feel very familiar – a part of my daily work life – but Joe reminds me to stop and enjoy the process.  At the end of the day, we just want to get married.

I know I will be tempted to run around the room and tweak some tables but I have promised my bridesmaids that I will stay away.  I may have planned our wedding but I am handing the reigns over to another person to be the coordinator. I will focus on being the bride.
And we do keep priorities in mind.
Most of all, this day is about us getting married. I can't wait!"











We are all enjoying this very personal and romantic event!

Kate Brack, Kristen Rensch and Nikki Wilbur celebrated with Brynne in their favorite DTLA restaurant a few days ago.

We don't produce weddings but Wedding Fever has infected us all a bit. And just in case Buckingham Palace is reading this: we would be proud to produce Prince Harry's Royal Betrothal and put Brynne's extensive experience to work!

Warm regards,
Janet

Site Report from The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art - wrapped in The Red Line by Doron Gazit. Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line

Our Floral Designer Rebecca Motus featured on ABC's The Bachelor on Valentine's Day

Love was on the air last night on ABC's 20th Anniversary Valentine's Day Special of The Bachelor; also covered by People Magazine. The floral decor was designed and created by none other than our floral designer Rebecca Fernandez Motus. We are really proud of Rebecca Motus' achievement: designing and creating all the florals for this primetime TV event! Rebecca: "I met the producers of the show through a friend who recommended me when they were looking for a designer to create the floral decor for this 20th anniversary extravaganza. It was a wonderful opportunity to show my work to millions of people. The special was filmed at the St. Regis Monarch Beach and as everything in television, it took many, many hours to produce this 2-hour special. I spent five days on set, building the floral decor. And those 5 nights were pretty much sleepless. Many days we worked until midnight and I had to get to the Downtown Flower Market by 3AM to get fresh flowers. However, des
