I love being one of Chicago's Wedding Planners, but today, I am channeling my inner Barbara Walters and announcing the people I found the Most Fascinating in the Wedding Industry in 2009. These are the people that really raise the bar in the wedding industry and people I admire. Many of them I have come to know quite well and I am always amazed by their drive but also their large heart and open ears when I need advice or want to bounce a new idea off of them. They are in no particular order because they are all equally fascinating to me. Okay, I cannot just do ten, I decided to do eleven. They are all such fascinating people!

event space
In September, I was honored to be asked to speak by Sarah and Andrea from Cherry Berry Events at Camp Wedding at the Camp Wandewega, located in Wisconsin. This was their inaugural wedding retreat and I was looking forward to meeting some new friends in the wedding industry. I attend a couple of event conferences a year and I was intrigued by the concept of Camp Wedding, with wedding professionals being in a camp environment.
