The Pennington/Boyd Wedding at the Gainesville Civic Center was a smashing success

This letter just made my 2010 year start out right. I just felt the urge to share this with all my clients and people who put their trust in me to create an amazing wedding for them. We worked with two families and did everything from the rehearsal dinner to the final sweeping of the floors at the reception. We too were equally as blessed to have such fabulous clients.

Hi Jennifer! Well, after a week of being home and decompressing I have had time to regroup and begin some correspondence. I just wanted to attach a few of the pictures I made (won't have any professional ones for a few weeks yet) and just tell you how absolutely PERFECT the entire Pennington/Boyd wedding affair was from beginning to end! The rehearsal dinner was fabulous and beautiful. The flowers were just as expected and I cannot begin to tell you how happy I was with the reception food and decorations. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!Your attention to our needs and the desire to please kept me worry free and extremely peaceful about Lindsay's day. I would not change a thing and I know we will look back on Jan 3, 2010 with many beautiful, happy memories. May you, and Events By Dezine, be blessed in the coming year.Sandy Penningtona very happy mother of the bride!Lynn Haven, FL

Weddings and Special Event Production and Catering with Events By Dezine: Donating a wedding for a good cause

Weddings and Special Event Production and Catering with Events By Dezine: Donating a wedding for a good cause

Donating a wedding for a good cause

We had the opportunity to give a gift like no other. Thanks to the generousity of Roger Kahn of 550 Trackside in downtown Lawrencville, Georgia, Johanna Ankermiller and Todd Stickland had their dream wedding. Roger contacted me a few months ago about a bride he met that has had to postpone her wedding 3 times due to her battle with cancer. With money being tight from mounting medical bills, Johanna never thought she and her love would ever be able to have the wedding. Roger donated his facilty and many other companies donated their services to create a wedding day that was so special for her, and her dreams were realized.

CBS and NBC were onsite to document this amazing event as was Simply Wed Magazine. I just want to take the time to honor those who gave as much as the could to create Johanaa's Dream.
