news + press :: sept. meeting at la jolla cove suites

 The beautiful La Jolla Cove was our “office” for this month’s Weddings of Distinction’s networking meeting, and the day could not have been more perfect.  The sky was cloudless, the weather warm, and the views, unparalleled.  The iconic La Jolla Cove Suites hosted our meeting, and with centerpieces from Hartworks Floral, and catering from The French Gourmet,  the scene was elegant and our bellies were filled with wholesome goodness.

We had two presenters this month: Kristina Chartier, of Kristina Chartier Photography, and San Diego business coach, Karie Kaufmann, of ActionCOACH.  Karie gave the group a mini business seminar, giving us, as small business owners, tips and insight into the world of small business.  Then, Kristina presented after, and she brought in samples of her work and informed the group about her unique  photography style.

It was a lovely afternoon, and being as La Jolla Cove Suites is a new member to Weddings of Distinction, it was a pleasure to see the renovations that have been made to the hotel and to see how their amazing rooftop wedding space is truly among San Diego’s finest!
