Laurel & Michael got married at their beautiful home in Brockville on Saturday September 5 2009. Coordinating their wedding was such a wonderful experience! With a total head count of 16 not only do you have the opportunity to develop a close bond with the bride and groom, you bond with the family as well.
The intimate ceremony was followed by a seafood cocktail hour in their backyard. Come 7pm their guests moved inside and were treated to a mouth watering five course plated dinner. All food was catered by the talented Ken Harper of Chop Chop Catering.
Creative Edge Studio did an amazing job with the flowers and decor. What a great team they are to work with! Thanks to Paul Cheney of 360 Photography for all the fantastic shots of Laurel & Michael's big day. Here are a few of Viva la wedding's favorites.
Thank you from the bride ~ "I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your help in getting our wedding organized especially in such a short time frame. Everything turned out just perfect. Your calmness was what reassured me my wedding day would actually be as beautiful as we dreamed it would be..."
Krystel & Ivan were married at the rustic yet elegant Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello on Saturday August 22 2009. While I'm always excited when the wedding day of one of my fabulous couples arrives, I was especially looking forward to Krystel & Ivan's wedding as it was taking place at the same venue I was married one year earlier.
The ceremony was held by the gazebo outside with the Ottawa River acting as their backdrop. After exchanging their vows, Krystel & Ivan went off for post ceremony pictures with their wedding party as their guests sipped champagne by the gazebo. The reception followed in the historic Canada Room and after an amazing meal and some very sweet speeches, everyone danced the night away!
That should be enough to drive home the point that a (your) Facebook presence is important.
This leaves you with two options, getting on Facebook and fumbling around, hoping you get it right, or letting someone guide you step by step though the important features making sure you nail it from the very beginning.
Rod shows you how he uses Facebook to book senior sessions for around one dollar each in advertising cost.
He not only explains the three areas of Facebook that we need to concentrate on (our personal profiles, photo pages, and advertising), he walks you through each settings page, explaining what settings are important and which ones are not.
The Facebook Marketing Tutorial is a series of three videos (about 70 minutes total) and one of the things I really liked about them is when Rod was discussing page settings you saw the actual page (and settings) he was working on, so it could not have been easier to follow (and understand). And he didn't just share "this is what the setting should be", Rod also explains clearly why it should be what it is.
Another extremely important piece of information that is discussed is Facebook etiquette, without knowing it is extremely easy to find yourself outside the acceptable "rules of engagement" which will get you more than a slap on the wrist, it could end up getting you booted!
I think the coolest thing I learned from this DVD is what I need to do to an image before giving it to a client for their Facebook page that will drive potential clients my way (you'll have to watch the video for the details).
It's likely that you could learn everything that is taught on this DVD on your own, but how long would it take, how many mistakes would you make, and how much business would you miss out on before finally getting it right?
You could walk for free and would eventually get to Washington DC, or your can spend the money on a plane ticket and get there MUCH quicker.
Choice is yours, but I picked the plane ticket and could not be happier that I did.
