NEWS: The Knot website/magazine's networking event at Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA

The Knot website and magazine's annual event was held at the Aquarium of the Pacific last night. Hundreds of vendors were in attendance, as you could imagine. Many people were difficult to approach, but some people were very kind. Although i am usually reluctant to participate in networking events, i am grateful to have been there, and i had the pleasure of meeting:

• DARIO PUIG of Dario and Drew Event Design in Newport Beach


• My old friend (in longevity, not age-wise!) DUANE GREENLEAF of Colette's Catering from the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton


• COURTNEY OZOVEK: dancer, choreographer and booking liaison for several wedding bands


• LINDA LY of Grand Soirees Event Design and Coordination


• FAYTH VUONG of 3 Petals fine chair covers and linens


• CHI CHAN and ALLEN KING, photographers extraordinaire

i also met Macheline and Eva from Red Velvet Occasions, Shauna? from East West Productions and Wendy from Just Wenderful. DJ services were provided by DJ Nahchey of DASH Entertainment, and catering by Savor/SMG Long Beach.
