Weddings of Distinction visited the gorgeous Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa recently for their monthly luncheon meeting. Director of Catering Debra Ayala and Catering Manager Sarah Sargent treated us to a scrumptious meal and various tasty beverages. They’ve recently re-branded their wedding division as Ocean Pearl Weddings. Their ceremony, reception areas, spa and quality of service are fantastic!
A very special welcome to our guests on the day: Tiffany Lord Arnaldo from Cali Cards, David Martiarena from San Diego Paella and Tim English from Disc Go Round DJ.
As is a staple at our monthly get-togethers, two companies showcased their businesses for the members in attendance. Hats off to the venerable and immensely talented violinist Gloria Paris from Gloria Paris’ Sterling Strings. Her music is beautiful. Andy Hagenah from Disc Go Round DJ & Video Services dazzled our group with a video demo of his offerings and entertained us with a demo of a new side portable photo booth business he’s just started.
Various pieces of Board business were shared with the membership including recently amended by-laws. Birthdays were toasted. Some great raffle prizes were doled out. Much networking took place and all shared referrals. We’ll see you in June at The Prado in Balboa Park!
