ABC FLORIDA STATE MEETING FOLLOW UP

Rejuvenated ,Renewed and Ready to Take on the 2009 Wedding Season

It is always great to see so many of my coleagues (60 in attendance) from all over Florida come together to not only network with one another but to be able to share what we have all been doing since our last meeting from our families to brides and everything in between nothing is left untouched.

Classes start on Sat AM early with registration at 8-9AM right on thru until lunch (which the hotel goes all out for) til we close around 530pm....we resume Sun AM 845 until we close again at 430 with prizes and one lucky coordinator always gets a trip this year she's going to Puerta Vallarta Mexico 4

days/3nights and all she has to pay for is the air....JEALOUS....Congrats to Martha......2 whole days...and you wonder what it is that we as Wedding Coordinators can possibly learn in that time...and why we come here to learn it....

We attend classes by choice listed from below that are usually about 1.5 hours in length

Proposals/Presntations

Networking

Ethics-Brides/Vendors

Pricing/Contracts with Master Consultant Mary Dann (Whose Wedding Is It Anyway)
