Meetings
The monthly luncheons are scheduled for the last Wednesday of every month, excluding December, with open networking starting at 11:30am. Lunch is served at noon. This is your opportunity to network with other wedding professionals. Then, at 1:00pm we will have either an educational speaker, guest
profile or allow more time for networking. There are also plenty of door prizes. The event is over at 1:30pm, but you are welcome to stay and continue to network.
