Tuesday Shout-outs!!

This week, I met with Tracy Claiborne from Claiborne Productions at her husband's chocolate and coffee shop, Winans. (Ever attend the bridal shows at the Dayton Convention Center, the Dayton Marriott, Manor House or Cincinnati Marriott Northeast? The talented Tracy runs these spectacular events!) Winans is located by the Dayton Mall and they now have a liquor license. My clients have purchased chocolate favors from Winans in the past for their weddings. Today, I enjoyed a Buttery Mocha made with Butterscotch Schnapps. Yumm!

I went to Ele Cake Company in West Carrollton this past weekend to get my husband a buttercream filled chocolate chip cookie sandwich and in addition to making amazing wedding cakes, they now also serve lunch!

The Rose Trio is a group that plays the cello, viola and violin for wedding ceremonies and cocktail receptions. Leah is offering some special promotions for 2010 weddings. Check it out!

Chenese Bean Makeup Artistry is having an open house at her new studio on Friday, October 23 in the evening and is offering a free mother-of-the-bride makeup artistry services! Any wedding booked with 4 people or more (flower girls and jr. bride not included in minimum) can take part in this current promotion. Services are for the bride's mother only and can be used for either one free in studio consultation or on the wedding day.

New Genesis Productions is also pleased to announce that their new studio is open and operational. Their new address is 3320 Tylersville Rd. Suite K. Hamilton OH 45011. They had an open house on Saturday, September 26, 2009 and I hope it went well! They offer videography and photography services.

Last but not least .... this one is sort of sad.... Folchis Formalwear just opened up a brand new location in Anderson, adding to their conglomerate of existing stores in Kenwood and West Chester. Well, last week, someone drove a car right through the front of the brand new store. Unreal!! (I hope it wasn't a competitor, that's just mean....lol). Anyways, best wishes to the Folchis on a speedy recovery!

Any other vendors have a shout-out on a great deal, promotion or announcement to make? Just email it to Kathy (me). Thanks and happy planning!
