ABC Holiday Party at the Ann Arbor Regent Hotel

The Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) is the oldest and most reputable association for wedding planners in the country. The Ann Arbor group was started last May, and we have had a great time getting to know the local wedding professionals! Our holiday party on December 6th was planned by Kaeli Garcia of Luna Soiree, and was sponsored by the Ann Arbor Regent Hotel, Hilary Nichols Photography (who took these pictures!), Shutterbooth, University Catering, Paesano’s, Angel Food Catering, Domestic Arts, Chair Cover Express, Passionflower, and Bee Entertainment. Enjoy!

The idea is that you get to take your marriage vows and turn them into something that is an individual piece of art designed and created specifically for you.

A lot of couples are choosing to write their own vows or searching for ones that mean something special to them and you put a lot of time into writing or finding the perfect one, so why after your wedding day should they be forgotten?

Artvows lets you turn your vows into something special. You get to pick the text, the design, the font, and when you get it it comes with a serial number and each one is signed by the artist who did the work.

You can also do this with a special reading or blessing from your wedding. A great idea Artvows has is getting this done before your wedding day and you can sign this on your wedding day for even more meaning to the two of you. This would even be great for a vow renewal.

Anyone will tell you that you plan and plan for your wedding day and then it comes and it goes by so fast that you sometimes are wondering what happened. And this is just one more way to take something so important and make it into something that you can see everyday to remind you of those special promises that you made to each other on that wonderful day.

Invite Pinkberry to your Wedding!

Pinkberry catering

I was excited to attend the A2Y Chamber year-ender, and delighted to find out that Pinkberry does off-site catering! They had a station there with samples for everyone to try – it was a huge hit! The below FAQ is taken from their website to give you more information about this new venture. They have a storefront at Briarwood Mall, so if you’re interested (or in the mood for frozen yogurt) go check them out!

Does Pinkberry bring a machine to the event? Some stores have the ability to Swirl the Pinkberry Goodness right at your event, so if you are interested just let us know and we’ll determine if we are able to swirl on site and give you additional pricing details.

What is the difference between Full Service and Drop Off? Pinkberry has 2 kinds of Catering Options – Full Service and Drop Off. For both options your Pinkberry is swirled fresh right before your event in the sizes and flavors you choose. We usually bring 6 topping choices – we recommend 3 fruit and 3 dry toppings. For Full Service our Team Members stay at your event to top and present each Pinkberry to your guests just like we do in the store. For Drop-Off, Team Members set-up your Pinkberry and toppings in a designated area and your guests will top their own swirly masterpiece.

What if I don’t live by a Pinkberry? Can Pinkberry still cater my event? Although there are many Pinkberry locations, there may be places that Pinkberry Catering can’t reach yet. We want to ensure that when we Swirl Pinkberry to you that we have maintained the integrity of the product so that you have the one of a kind experience you are used to. If you are too far away from a Pinkberry store, the yogurt may suffer in transport and we only want to deliver uncompromising quality to you.

What do I need to do to get ready for Pinkberry at my event? When we get to your event location we need a 6 foot table or as much table space as you can give us so that we can set up your toppings. If it is a Full Service event we also need a place behind or near the 6 foot table to store our insulated coolers.
