All Occasions by JB

Once again, thanks to the Internet, I have met yet another wedding professional–this one based in Massachusetts, Julie Barnes of All Occasions by JB.  Julie and I met on Bridal Tweet, she was among my first friends there, and this is one really lovely lady.  Warm, easy to talk to, and always up for a good giggle, which those of us in the industry REALLY need from time to time!

I love working with wedding planners and their clients, and Julie brings such an air of professionalism to every aspect of a bridal event.  She has been putting together dream weddings and events for over 12 years and during that time, sought out additional training that gives her additional expertise as a planner.  Together with her assistant, Bella, they have been making weddings incredible events for brides and grooms.  Anyone in this industry thrives on testimonials–the best free advertising there is–and there are some really glowing ones on her site.  Over the years, I would bet I have addressed invitations to just about every single person in Massachusetts, many brides from MA have found me through referrals, and now I have a fantastic wedding planner to refer them to!  I look forward to working on MANY weddings with Julie. 

I tried watching Bridezillas last night–I had to channel surf, leave and come back, leave and come back.  It was PAINFUL.  Please, someone tell me that these women are really camping it up and they truly aren’t total self-absorbed, spoiled witches?  And what is with the impotent, silently suffering men that they are marrying?  Grow a pair, take back your manhood, and put the little witch in her place.  Looking forward to the season premier of My Fair Wedding.  David Tutera does a masterful job of taking trainwreck weddings (mint green and pink weddings at VFW buildings) and turns them into drop dead gorgeous affairs at beautiful locations, totally blowing you away with turning the whole affair around in three weeks.  Bridezillas not allowed.
