When I am not officiating weddings, commitment ceremonies, renewals, or memorial services, I try to keep current with the wedding industry. This weekend, I have had the opportunity to attend and participate in the Association of Bridal Consultants Southeast Regional Meeting in St. Augustine. The title of the conference was Exploring the Past, and Building the Future. This is a time where I get to hear fresh ideas, meet bridal consultants from the region, and learn from experts in a variety of fields.
The general session today was called "Destiny - What's yours?" presented by keynote speaker Linnytte Richardon Hall, the Wedding Diva, from Who's Wedding is it Anyway from the Style Network. She was fantastic!! The general session was "Shining Bright and Standing Out" presented by Ana Cruz.
You may know Ana from AnaCruz.com She is known also from Who's Wedding is it Anyways?" Both beautiful women had presentations that taught us how to value our professions, how to manage our lives and businesses with elegance and integrity. I will post about these glorious woman at a later time, but wanted to just give you a glimpse into the quality of speakers I had the privilege to enjoy. 
The workshops I attended in the afternoon on Saturday were "Branding Yourself to Stand Out in the Social Network Ocean" by David Hanscom.
WOW, I have so much still to learn! That is why I will always continue going to conferences to keep sharp. Another session I attended was "Cashing In on Customer Service" presented by Elisa Delgardio of A Flair for Affairs.
It is always a constant reminder to treat your clients as you would wish to be treated, from first contact to last. The third session today was "2010 Internet Strategy For Your Business" with Joe Lemire of Elyk Innovation, Inc and Chris Kennelly of Kinnetic Productions. I just need to make some YouTube videos for my website or blog!
The evening dinner was at the beautiful Casa Monica. The Swinging 40's offsite event! It was a beautiful hotel, very historic, reminded me of a Spanish Castle, old World, and the meal was wonderful. After the meal, we were treated to a Ghost Tour. The trolleys took us to St. Augustine lighthouse, and to the oldest jail in America.
We were entertained by Charlie, one of the ghosts of the past at the jail. Such a busy day!
Tomorrow, we have our general session "Etiquette and Service Revival" presented by Sandra Monahan.Master Bridal Consultants.
I am so glad that I have the opportunity to attend and learn, and I have so many new, exciting ideas for my couples. It is also great to meet and greet other wedding professionals to share so many awesome ideas. I am proud that being a Wedding Officiant in this Industry has been my D.E.S.T.I.N.Y.
