What a special evening for our wedding community ✨

We gathered at The Venue in Hastings for our April networking event, alongside the venue’s open house, to welcome a beautiful new space while connecting with so many of the talented professionals who make up our local industry.

From beautiful newlywed moments with our very own association president, Michelle Guthrie-Loftis, and her husband, Bryant Loftis, to a room filled with collaboration and celebration, the night truly reflected what this community is all about.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the incredible vendors whose time, talent, and creativity made this evening so special. 🫶🏼

It's March Madness time!

For basketball players and fans, that means cheering for your favorite teams in in NCAA college basketball tournaments 🏀

For wedding & event industry workers, that probably means the start of the BUSY season- it's GO TIME! 💍 🎉 🥂
