MWEP Meeting

This last Tuesday I had the great fortune of spending an evening with dozens of wedding and event professionals from around the Grand Rapids area.  JGardellas was the host as over 50 different people got together to network and have a good time.  The featured vendors, Li’l Miss Cupcakes and Vita Dolce Chocolates brought their delicious wares (which we were all encouraged to try!) and also told us all a little about their new enterprises.  We at ShutterBooth think they have very promising futures ahead of them!  Aletha VanderMaas of Pearls Events is the local MWEP liaison and I encourage anyone in or around this industry to get ahold of her with any questions.  It’s a nice change of pace to meet with colleagues outside of an actual event, and I had a great time talking with several different vendors.  Needless to say, I’m looking forward to the next event…and secretly hoping maybe the featured group is a home-brewing company, or something of the sort!
