Meeting Details
Please join Catering by Bo, Ruby Cakes and Lan Su Chinese Garden for a round robin cultural exploration.  Discover traditional cultural wedding elements from local experts:  Joan Levine and Yehudah (Alan) Winter from Your Personal Ceremony will identify essentials from the Jewish faith, the mysteries of the Buddhist faith will be unearthed by Jacqueline Mandell of Exquisite Weddings, and Evonne Tang of The Tao of Tea will demonstrate the fundamentals of the Chinese tea ceremony and basics of Chinese wedding traditions.  Along the way you'll enjoy delicious food with a nod toward each culture.  More weddings have a desire to incorporate multi traditional customs and this meeting will get you up to speed (with take home tips).

Recap from Last Month
DeSotoOur August networking meeting took us to the fabulous DeSoto Rooftop Terrace in NW Portland.  The evening was perfect and the view impeccable.  Thank you so much to Eric Sandstrom and the entire staff at Art of Catering and Molli Barss of Soiree Special Event Planning for putting together a relaxing night for taking a break from the busy Portland wedding season.  The food was fabulous, and Art of Catering & Garden Vineyards generously donated the beer and wine.  A special thank you to The Party Place for donating rentals and to Jackson Road for the fun music.  Lastly, thank you to Justin & Michelle with the award-winning Artistique Photographie
