I Went to The David Tutera Symposium!

June 16, 2019 by sfleckgrl

For those of you who don’t know, David Tutera is the most famous person in the wedding and event industry, and I’ve been watching him on TV since forever! 

He was at the Wedding MBA convention in Vegas, and he told us about his new passion, The David Tutera Symposium…… 

 The David Tutera Symposium is an exclusive convention in Bermuda, where only 50 planners from all over the world are invited to  attend.  It involves training with David Tutera during the day and fancy parties at night! After hearing all about the symposium I knew I had to go! I even told me friends I was going to figure out a way to make that happen ……… Magically 2 weeks later, Joey Troth ( David’s husband) e-mailed me, and invited to to attend! I couldn’t believe it!

The Experience was my wildest wedding planner dream come true! We were 50 passionate planners representing 5 different continents! I was the only planner from Colorado! I could go on and on about how much I learned, how over the top the parties were, the connections and friendships I made, including my friendship with David Tutera…… but it would be too much for this blog…..

HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS

Registration and getting our welcome bags. I loved them!

Nobody Deserves to Enjoy Your Event More Than You.

Since 2015 Party Girl Events has been helping awesome clients plan and execute weddings and events that are smooth flowing and memorable. We've been everywhere from mountain tops to farms, from back yards to swanky ballrooms. We've worked through crazy snowstorms, fixed ripped bridesmaid's dresses, air brushed a sunburnt groom's forehead, and re-stacked wedding cakes on the fly. We love planning all events. It doesn’t matter how big or small, what the budget is, or how out of the box the vision. As long as you’re excited about it, then we'd love to be a part of it!

Posting some red, white and blue in honor of Presi Posting some red, white and blue in honor of Presidents Day! This is from a styled shoot @kelseyboothphotography and I were asked to do for Rocky Mountain Bride magazine at the Frisco Marina a few years ago. Speaking of styled shoots.... PSA for the wedding vendors who do them. They look incredible! Please be honest and let everyone know that the photos you’re  posting are from a styled shoot, and don’t imply that they are from real weddings. The problem is that my clients are seeing the shoots, and then they're telling me that they want the same thing for their weddings, but it's not always possible. This photo is the perfect example! The Frisco Marina is not a wedding venue, the table is set randomly in the woods, and the table top decor was borrowed from Gorsuch ( not a rental company, it would be very expensive to shop at Gorsuch for your wedding decor. Definitely recommend for your registry though, and maybe for the sweetheart table, and then you can keep the stuff forever). My point is, this is not reality! #throwback

This was one of the most romantic proposals we've ever planned!  Kari and Steven literally wrote a book together about "Becoming Beloveds," so the proposal backdrop was their favorite quote "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine," Song of Songs. We had Kari's favorite pastel flowers, and lots of rose petals just because Steven knew she'd love that! There were so many more sentimental details incorporated into this proposal, too many to mention on this instagram post, so check out our blog to see more. Link in bio!
Now that's a head table! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
