with the 2009 Bride's Choice Award by WeddingWire Inc.!

WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that Simply Sparkling Events has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™!

In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means Simply Sparkling Events is one of the very best Wedding Planner.

Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.

“We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”

Simply Sparkling Events would like to thank our past clients for speaking on our behalf and helping us win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award! We couldn't have done it without you!

Sonoma Wedding - We're in the Movies! Sonoma Lodge January, 10 2009

We spent this past Saturday "Night at the Movies", helping Noelle & Alberto celebrate their wedding day! During our initial consultation, the bride & groom told us that they didn't want a traditional wedding. Because of their love of the cinema, we came up with a great theme, "A Night at the Movies". We worked the theme into every detail of the event. The black & white color scheme was accented with red, starting with the red carpet aisle runner! The guests were then treated to freshly popped popcorn during the cocktail hour and the signature drink, a Dirty Shirley Temple. As they waited to be seated, guests took pictures in a fun photo booth and made scrapbook for the bride & groom. Elle Music & Events lit the white tent in reds and golden accents with a star patterned ceiling wash. As the guests were seated, they found their movie ticket escort cards in black trays filled with popcorn kernels. Cards De Luxe did a fantastic job making mini-movie posters for each table, named after one of the Noelle & Alberto's favorite movies, including the Godfather, Pulp Fiction and Office Space. Nicole Ha's floral centerpieces were white flowers accented with black feathers in mirrored vases with crystal embellishments. Guests feasted on a delicious meal and danced the night away on a black & white dancefloor to the tunes spun by one of our favorite DJ's, Denon & Doyle. The night wrapped up with the most amazing cake by Glass Slipper Gourmet. The 3 tier cake featured film strip details and black and white feathers. We loved planning this event with Noelle and Alberto and the opportunity to work with some of our most favorite vendors!
