As we look forward to ringing in the New Year, I want to take a few moments to reflect on the exciting things that happened with Perfectly Posh Events in 2014. This past year was by far our busiest, most successful and all-around best year yet!!!
We started off the year by opening our brand new Planning Studio in North Ballard. After working from home and coffee shops for the past four years, it has been a breath of fresh air to have an office space to work from and a place to meet with clients that depicts the style of Perfectly Posh Events. Plus, having a Planning Studio opened the door to offering our “Perfect Plan Workshops” which are a great option for DIY couples who can’t afford to hire a planner but want someone to help them jumpstart their planning process and give them expert tips and tricks. We celebrated the new Planning Studio by throwing a fun party for our clients, wedding pros, family and friends – it was a total blast!

In June we were beyond honored to receive the prestigious “Best Wedding Planner” award from Seattle Bride Magazine. I feel incredibly blessed to have the best clients, an amazing team working alongside me, and the opportunity to work with awesome wedding pros! Thank you to everyone who voted and supported Perfectly Posh Events!
Our wedding season this year was NON-STOP! We successfully planned and coordinated 38 weddings for some pretty amazing couples, making 2014 our busiest year yet! Our weddings took us all over Seattle, Orcas Island, Woodinville, Bainbridge Island, San Juan Island, Guemes Island, Mount Rainer, Vashon Island, and Snoqualmie. My favorite part of this job is getting to know some pretty fantastic people and this year my couples, their family and friends all made my job feel so rewarding.

I am blessed to have an amazing team of coordinators working with me at Perfectly Posh Events. This year, I welcomed two fabulous coordinators to our team this year – Jen and Bridget. Jen has a background in fashion, wedding planning and holds a corporate event planning job during the week. Bridget has an extensive background in catering and event planning, having worked for the event industry in South Carolina, Colorado and Los Angeles before settling down in Seattle. These girls are rock-stars at planning and also a blast to work with, I am extremely lucky to have them on my team!

This was my second year as the VP of Events for Get Hitched Give Hope. My team worked extremely hard designing and planning our “Black and White Ball” at the Four Seasons Hotel where we raised over $110,000 for charity thanks to the generous donations of engaged couples and the wedding industry. I loved seeing lots of my couples {past and present} attend – and looking fabulously dressed for the ball! Each year Get Hitched Give Hope gets better and better – I seriously cannot wait to see what 2015 will hold for this amazing organization!!!
A big thank you to my family, friends, team, clients and wedding professionals for helping make 2014 the best year yet for Perfectly Posh Events!!! I can’t wait to see what is in store for 2015!
Cheers,
Holly
