I’ve been a part of the Detroit chapter of NACE for three years or so. It is a great group of people who have a clear passion for the wedding and event industry.

Our last meeting was one of the most popular of the year and it’s called The Tabletop WOW; vendors team up with other vendors and show off their amazing talent by creating beautiful and unique table designs.

We had a great turnout at the AMAZING Westin Book Cadillac Detroit. I love this place and I’m super excited to see how it is going to help turn our city around.

Congrats to all who participated and to those who won the different competitions… The TableTops that generated ideas and trends amongst the viewers were:
