I am new to networking. It does not come naturally to
me and even when I’m “networking” I always think I’m
doing it wrong. “Am I meeting enough people?” “Oh
God, I didn’t even hear what she said, it’s so loud in
here, just smile and nod and pretend you heard her
name….” “I’ll just plop myself right over here at this
corner table and if people want to talk to me they can
and if not, then, I guess I will not talk to them either….”
When I found PWG I was brand new to the wedding
space and knew I had to start doing the whole song and
dance that is networking. Little did I know this wasn’t
your typical networking event. It’s half networking (like
the first 30 minutes) (and there’s always an open bar)
(and you’re surrounded by eager wedding professionals,
mostly female, who are feeling the same way you are)
and half educational. Every luncheon hosts a speaker or
two that discusses an array of topics (from contracts to
Pinterest) and have honed in and crafter their said space
in the wedding world. It’s the best “networking” I’ve ever
been to!
This months luncheon was planned by
Linda Lyons of Lyons Events at
The Vintage Rail in Fort Worth.
This space was beautifully styled by local wedding
vendors which is so awesome to see what each and every
one come up with for the different luncheons around the
metroplex. The Lace Bouquet styled the
florals/centerpieces. Lawson Event Rentals took care of all
the seating/place settings/table clothes/etc.
I mentioned open
bar above and boy
did this bartending
crew do an awesome
job! DFW Bartending
had two specialty
drinks they were
serving as well as
beer, wine, whatever
else you could think
of! It was the perfect
size for your
wedding reception
as it took up very
little room and the
woman working the
event were great.
Highly recommend!
The meal was catered by Hard Eight BBQ and I was
super excited to see their name on our lunch menu
(created also by Linda Lyons other business: Lyons
Paperie ). I will sayyyyy in all honesty, the meal was
great except for the chicken. Chicken is hard to serve
at a big event (wedding especially) because you have
to be careful not to dry it out and not give the whole
event food poisoning from undercooking it. With our
event they made sure it was dry enough to not really
eat BUT! The salad, bread, potatoes and booooy that
buttermilk pie were top notch.
What would an event/wedding reception be without
photographers, videographers, and a DJ to make the
party a PARTY?! Our luncheon had the crews of
Silver Bear Creative, Beatbox Portraits, and
LeForce Entertainment providing great ambiance and
documenting the entire afternoon. AND! I briefly made
the video so there’s proof of me being there! Huzzah!
