Sadly, the evening of our 2019 Vendor Appreciation Party has come and gone and we are left with remnants of glitter on our faces as we sit here thinking about the fun that we had hoped would never end. The evening was filled with the most wonderful surprises around every corner, from ocean water blue cocktails to seafood themed hors d’oeuvres and goodies! All of the sea creatures seemed to be enjoying all of the attention and excitement, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The night would not have been possible if it weren’t for our amazing venue<\/a>, the ABQ BioPark Aquarium<\/a> and the mouth-watering goodness<\/a> provided by Taste Catering<\/a>. We are so grateful to have such incredible sponsors for the event that provided the most stunning “under the sea” themed elements that simply brought the party to life, starting with our invitations<\/a> by Funky Olive<\/a> that made a splash! We adored the creative centerpieces<\/a> by The Flower Co<\/a>. and the beach-y tunes provided by King Mobile Music<\/a> and Rockin’ Piano Party<\/a>. We can’t forget to mention those phenomenal cakes<\/a> from Honey & Salt Cake Co.<\/a> because we all know we were dying to taste when we saw them placed on display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These local wedding professionals<\/a>, from wedding coordinators<\/a> to wedding travel agencies<\/a>, show exemplary performance in helping local brides and grooms make their wedding day dreams come true. Since we think that all of our vendors<\/a> are shining stars every day, we ask locals to vote for their favorites to help make the process easier and more exciting. Now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for, and the moment we can’t wait to share with all of you, the winners of the PWG 2019 Elite Awards!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drum roll please…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
