Sometimes you have to toot your own horn :p
From Duvall Catering and Event Design and NoLo Weddings and Events for my Event Coordination :)
Duvall - Katie is great! To be specific, our catering staff said Katie was 'easy going and very helpful'. Having a wedding coordinator willing to work as a team with other vendors at a reception can make or break the experience for the client. We welcome the opportunity to work with Katie in the future!
NoLo - The Rockville Rooftop, and specifically Katie, were absolutely wonderful to work with when we helped with day of coordination of the Spring Wedding Gala. Everything ran smoothly and all of the staff were friendly and willing to pitch in if needed. I can’t think of a better place to hold events if you are looking for a gorgeous venue and enjoy working with friendly, hard-working and talented people! -Lorinda Lukenbach, NoLo Weddings & Events

Sarasota + Anna Maria Island Florida
Sorry blogsphere I haven't written much lately. With the event season gearing up and with trips to Florida and Charleston SC ( pics to come ) I have been swamped!
I have vacationed in Florida since I was little to visit family there, had my last family reunion there and got engaged there :) . Recently Morgie and I went to Sarasota and Anna Maria Island and here is some suggestions of fun things to do in that area.
In Sarasota + Surrounding Areas
* Visit Lido Beach , Sanibel and Siesta Key for the beautiful beaches with white powdery sand and great shells. These beaches are always in the top beaches for the country.
* For the kiddies or nature lover-
Mote Marine Aquarium - touch tank, sharks , manatees, eels oh my!
*Sarasota Jungle Gardens - I haven't been here in years but Kelly and I used to love the bird show and seeing the alligators.
* Ringling Museum
Great art and history. Lilly Pulitzer had an event there that looked amazing! http://blog.lillypulitzer.com/2011/02/09/ringling-museum-event-party-in-pink/
*St.Armands Circle
Full of great shopping with everything from tshirt shops to a Lilly Store . Also filled with many restaurants the Columbia ( try their 1905 salad, mojitos and sangria ) , Tommy Bahama Bar and Kilwins chocolate shop mmmm.
Mudda with Poseidon in St.Armands Circle
*Marina Jack's Restaurant
Great view of the ships , I would go here for the views and drinks.
Anna Maria Island
* Martiniville- drinks are a little pricey but are from fresh ingredients! Try the island taster that comes with ahi tuna, chicken satay and veggie spring rolls with a side of mango infused sweet potatoes. yummmm!
* The Sandbar restaurant
Scott proposed to me here after dinner. It is on the beach with many weddings occurring here.
* Sand Dollar
Best shop with beachy finds for the home and great inexpensive jewelry.
* Dcoy Ducks
Well this one may need a disclaimer. If you want to go to a place that's a smokey dive but alot of fun this is the place!
The island is great to explore for it's food, shopping and beaches and relaxation!

Winners Lacrosse Gala- May 19th
Join the Washington Inner City Lacrosse Foundation (WINNERS) for our first annual spring-time gala and silent auction. With a $90 contribution, not only will you be supporting Washington DC youth by introducing them to the great game of lacrosse, you will have access to a breathtaking, sunset view of the DC skyline for an evening of all-you-can-drink cocktails and beverages and scrumptious hors d'œuvres with amazing opportunities to win some awesome items - such as a trip, lacrosse collectibles, entertainment tickets, and much more!
Cocktail attire.
WINNERS introduces the game of lacrosse to underserved inner-city youth in Washington, DC, by combining the discipline and teamwork of the sport with mentoring to create academic opportunities for our players. Our team members compete in regional games and tournaments, shadow lacrosse playing students at local schools, and attend summer camps throughout the East Coast. Further, we seek secondary school placement for graduating eighth graders so they can continue to develop their academic potential using lacrosse as a vehicle for advancement through high school and into college. "Helping to create WINNERS on and off the field" is our motto, and we hope that you can join us in celebrating the success in the lives of our youth by teaching more than just the game of lacrosse.
For more information on WINNERS Lacrosse, please visit www.winnerslacrosse.org.
