2019 was one hell of a year, in fact it was the most successful one for Elegant Affairs for so many reasons! And the biggest one is for all of our amazing couples and vendors!
We kicked off the season in January celebrating with one of our 2018 couples who wanted a stateside reception after their nuptials in Cabo.
We followed up by being featured in the South Sound Wedding + Event Magazine Spring Issue with two of our weddings and several articles and photos from previous EA weddings.
Our biggest challenge turned greatest triumph happened back in late March when we were notified that one of our May couple’s wedding venue had cancelled on them because they obtained a larger and more expensive event leaving my couple without a venue only 6 weeks before their big day. We were tasked to find a new venue in Central Washington during Memorial Day weekend that was available and could accommodate lodging for nearly 150 guests. Luckily, one such venue was available and in the end WAY better than the original location and we were able to give our couple their dream wedding they never thought they could have!
One of my major highlights was being part of my cousin’s wedding back in October. I always love working with family and this was my 3rd cousin’s wedding where I served as planner and it was truly and honor and a privilege to be a part of their day.
A last minute vacation to Maui with my bestie Shane from Oak + Fig Floral turned into something much more. I was asked to design an invitation suite for a incredible styled shoot in Hana! Stay tuned for photos in the upcoming weeks
This year we were honored with being awarded The Knot’s Best of Weddings and Wedding Wire’s Couple’s Choice. Both of these honors were so humbling and once again we have our couples to thank for trusting us with one of their biggest life moments.
Now I save the best for last, I would be lost if it wasn’t for Lisa! She has been my ride or die with me for 3 seasons and I truly don’t know what I would do without her. She is truly a master of her craft and she is literally my Best Friend! Thank you Lisa!
Now we close this chapter and we are ready to take whatever 2020 has in store for us head on.
Thank you,
Lori
