Lauren and Nate's Wedding

I started blogging for the weddings I have been planning. Blogging about each wedding is a great tool for the marketing and advertising aspect of a wedding planning company. This blog was for Lauren and Nate. The reception had a gorgeous yet sophisticated theme, and it was a blast!


Lauren and Nate

Lauren first noticed Nate’s crystal blue eyes from across one of their favorite bars at the shore. Although Lauren was already in college and Nate was still in high school, that didn’t stop Nate from sweeping Lauren off her feet. They slow danced while the loud club music played and the rest was history.

Nate proposed on the beach in Sardinia, Italy during a beautiful sunset; giving Lauren the surprise of a life time.

Lauren walked down the aisle in an off premise location wearing a gorgeous beaded Chantilly laced mermaid gown, accented with a deep v-neckline, and laced straps. She carried a stunning bouquet of calla lilies, amaryllis, orchids, and peonies with accents of yellow wrapped in a satin bow. Lauren and Nate said their “I do’s” and headed to One Atlantic for an unforgettable night.

Guests were greeted off the Atlantic City Tram Service to an elegant cocktail hour with an open bar and the bride and grooms signature Cocktails: Lauren’s lemonade and Woo’s Whiskey. Our standard collection of Hors d’ oeuvres was served butler style including: an artisanal cheese, pasta, and crudité display.

The Atlantic ballroom opened and radiated a gorgeous yet sophisticated look with a color pallet of black and white with pops of Champaign, accenting our starry night display. Table’s center pieces mimicked the flower in Lauren's bouquet. Guests enjoyed a classic 3- course- meal picked out by Lauren and Nate.

After dinner guests danced the night away to the Go Go Gajet band provided by Midnight sun, and the photo booth was a hit! They ended the night with coffee and delicious butler passed deserts such as: mini milk shakes, fun-fetti cake pops, chocolate covered strawberry’s, and cotton candy. It truly was an unforgettable night

Second Blog Post

Since the first blog post, I am still doing about the same things I have been. Because I have been there for about a month now, they are starting to let me do things on my own and pretend as if I am an employee with them. I am still planning large events with my boss and calling around places to tell them more about our company and what we can offer. Planning these events are very helpful because it is a lot of hands on work and it feels good to know that they can have that trust in me to take things on and complete various tasks successfully. I help my boss run reports on other employees, call vendors and set things about between them and us. Last weekend we actually had a dinner with another company that we joined with and they invited some of the staff to be at the kickoff dinner. I was honored that they let me attend with them being as I am just their intern. There turned out to be a couple hundred people that showed up and we even got to connect with them and help expand the company even more! I am more than happy that I have this opportunity this summer and I can't wait to finish off with them!

Second Internship Blog Post

These past few weeks have not had much of a variation in terms of working on different assignments. The sole focus has been geared towards a very special dinner party. The CEO of Holy Spirit Hospital is retiring. She has lead the hospital as CEO for 26 years. So these past few weeks we've been running around the office trying to make this event perfect. I helped work on seating charts, decorations, name tags, and organizing lists of guests as well as their meal choices. The dinner party was Sunday evening and was a total success with over 400 attendees. I was lucky enough to have been able to be apart of this event considering its significance, but I also had the opportunity to network and meet more people. This week things have slowed down a little now that the stress of the dinner is over. We've been working on setting up new workshop ideas which are information sessions available to the public on multiple health topics. Along with brainstorming ideas, I've been typing up the news releases and informational pamphlets for those. I'm looking forward to see what else they have planned for me. Can't wait to read about what everyone else has been doing in their summer adventures!

Greetings from Canada

Greetings from Toronto, Canada
I presented at the World Public Relations Forum in Toronto, Canada, over Memorial Day weekend. I had the opportunity to meet scholars from around the world devoted to public relations excellence. My paper, "The European Right to Be Forgotten: A Challenge to the First Amendment and Public Relation Ethics," addressed a contemporary media law issue. We visited the Hockey Hall of Fame and I saw the Stanley Cup!  The following evening, attendees were invited to the Royal Canadian Yacht Club for dinner.
