It\u2019s no secret that we, your Wedding Collective New Mexico team<\/a>, are busy bees!<\/p>\n

Every week, we write love notes here, on this blog, to the wedding professionals<\/a> we\u2019ve collaborated with recently, or to the newlywed couples who have shared their stories<\/a> with us, or to the other members of our team who have made things like our new, ultra-sleek wedding planning app<\/a> possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s always a lot going on! So, naturally, we have a lot to share with you, reader, whether it\u2019s the aforementioned lovely things, or upcoming wedding shows<\/a>, or new editions of the print magazine<\/a>, et cetera.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But while we’re often buzzing about how hardworking, dedicated, and flat-out powerful our community is, we also want it to be clear that, here at WCNM, we work hard and<\/i><\/strong> play hard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence: the Havana Nights Vendor Appreciation Night<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For dedicated readers, you’ll recognize this occasion as the culminating event of the Wedding Collective Elite Awards<\/a> – did you nominate a local, small business<\/a> this year or get nominated yourself? Then this is your big moment, friend!<\/p>\n

Or, if this is your first time hearing about one of our Vendor Appreciation Nights, then you can catch up on all the fun you\u2019ve missed by perusing our Facebook<\/a> and\/or previous blog posts like this one.<\/a> Even if 2022 is going to be the first year you show up to receive all the love<\/strong>, appreciation<\/strong>, mojitos<\/strong>, and friendship-building moments<\/strong> we have to give you \u2014 don’t worry, because these parties always draw a welcoming crowd!<\/p>\n
