On Saturday evening, the Poolside Pavilion, was magically transformed with tones of aqua blue, burgundy and silver, complete with an elegant lounge area, for the celebration gala. A delicious meal, coupled with a phenomenal live band, was the ultimate finish to this "EPIC" event! It was such a joy watching our members and attendees having the time of their lives on the dance floor.
Attendees Remarks:
"I am a professional DJ/MC for weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvah's, and private events...I believe that knowledge and training are two very important factors in sustaining high quality service for my clients. My organization functions to create the best wedding experience possible and the ACPWC 2011 conference gave me an excellent learning environment, dynamic and professional speakers, and an experiential example of what a great gala is like. I am very happy to be in this professional industry, and appreciate the education that was provided throughout the two day conference weekend."
