What a fun night! The Arizona Bridal Affair is a proud member of WEN, otherwise known as the Wedding & Event Network. These events are always a blast, and give us moms behind the bridal show a chance to mingle and meet other wedding industry professionals. Last nights event was prom themed and some of the exhibitors really came dressed to impress! The yummy catering was provided by Mi Catering and was perhaps the best yet, although I am still thinking about the pasta station at the last WEN event which was hosted by Special Moments Catering. Living Energy Events provided the music, Pour Masters provided the bar, Largo Photography took pics, and The Self Portrait Station provided a picture station which was so much fun! The event was held at Encore Creative, which could be a blog post all by itself- this place was amazing! It was not a ceremony or reception venue, but rather was a huge warehouse of decor- think The Stagers for you HGTV fans out there. Only this warehouse has linens galore, an on-site floral studio, an on-site seamstress and so much more! They had decor like you wouldn’t believe- couches, rugs, chairs and ottomans for lounging, cages for go-go dancers, ginormous poker chips for a casino themed event, tiki stuff, old western stuff, Morrocan stuff, retro stuff- 50,000 square feet of stuff! And, they can also help with entertainment that you might need for your event, such as casino tables, cigar girls- you name it. Basically anything you could ever want is here. Just walking around the place can help to give you ideas about your big event, and I could not encourage you more to do at least that.

So big thanks to Curtis Whipple, the man behind WEN. Thank you also to all the great professionals showcased this time, and super big thanks to Mi Catering for not asking me to refrain from serving up thirds, fourths and let’s be honest- I probably visited that food table ten times.
