36 more hours until....

The Wedding University 2010!

We have over 100 registrants, and have room for a few more. You can still register through here!

If you are engaged, and want to learn all the ins and outs of wedding planning, this is THE bridal event to attend! Our format is very different than traditional bridal fairs. Couples get to enjoy the first hour sampling exceptional culinary creations from the Four Seasons Silicon Valley, being inspired by 4 distinctive vignettes from our design team (see inspiration boards below), and getting to know other engaged couples.



Next, everyone will be gathered into the ballroom and be seated classroom style, for the first class which will be taught by wedding planner extraordinaire from Los Angeles--Mary Dann. Mary Dann will teach on the topic of 'Planning & Logistics', from budget to timeline to setting the right expectations for your wedding planning journey.

Students will then be separated into 3 smaller groups and rotate between classes to learn a variety of important topics, from photography to design to music and entertainment to beauty and attire. In between each class, they will get a short break, and the Four Seasons Silicon Valley will have a continual flow of excellent food!

At the end of the day, we will have a drawing for many amazing prizes! With such a small intimate group, each student has a very high chance of winning!

Come learn from our team of top experts, who are not only incredibly knowledgeable but willing and ready to share tips and information. As icing on the cake, they are also fun and know how to have a great time. You will even get to learn how to dance from the lovely Cynthia Glinka!
