Thank you to everyone who participated in our Turkey for Your Thoughts blog event this week!! Through your support we helped donate Thanksgiving turkeys to Boston-area families and the Greater Boston Food Bank.

Don’t you just feel better, knowing that other people will be sharing a meal and basking in the drama/love/food fight that you will be savoring this holiday season? We do, that’s certain!

As a special thank you we are awarding a Starbucks Gift Card to one of our readers. Random.org selected our winner…

On day 3 (Wednesday), Erin left this comment on our post “Coordinating with your Bridesmaids“:

LOVE this idea, especially with the color samples! Are those paint strips like you get at the hardware store? I love collecting those!

Thanks, Erin! Contact Jessica at jessica@aldenblairevents.com so she can mail you the gift card. To all of our other readers out there, thank you for keeping in touch and we look forward to inspiring your fabulous parties!

Music is crucial for creating ambiance. It sets the mood for cocktail hour, enhances dinner, and develops an energy that brings your reception to life – so once you’ve identified the “feel” you are looking for, it is time to hire the perfect professional.

The editors of Brides Boston magazine asked us for advice on which local vendors are perfect for reading a crowd, giving off an old-school vibe, or creating a club atmosphere.  Without a wedding planner it can be challenging to find the right entertainment for your wedding, so don’t hesitate to contact us – our extensive vendor list will bring your party to life.

If you haven’t picked up your copy of the Fall/Winter Brides Boston issue, here’s a sneak peek…

Our network of regional vendors is the key to finding the perfect fit for your wedding style. Let us help create the perfect atmosphere for your big party – schedule your complimentary consultation today!

Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer Gorden and I am a senior at Northeastern University. I am a Journalism major with a minor in Communication Studies. Since I can remember I have always wanted to be an event planner. Weddings are my favorite type of event to plan. When I was younger I used to run from the bus stop to make it home in time for TLC’s “A Wedding Story.” I love everything about weddings. From the tiny creative details that make each wedding unique, to the true love and happiness they symbolize, weddings make me giddy. My favorite part of a wedding (besides planning it) is when the bride walks down the aisle. It isn’t because of how beautiful she looks, (although, she always does) but I love watching the groom’s face light up as he sees his new bride for the first time. I am very excited to be working with Alden Blair Events and can’t wait to get started!
