Highlights from Engage!12 Breakers Palm Beach - Part 1

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend my 9th Engage! Luxury Wedding Summit at the Breakers Palm Beach.  Produced by the amazing and uber talented Rebecca Grinnals and Kathryn Arce of Engaging Concepts, this event is always breathtaking.

I attended my very first Engage! in 2008 when the event was launched at Celebration Hotel, Celebration, Florida --  some 50 of us gathered to engage.  Each of the twice annual affairs have raised the bar to extraordinary heights.

Arriving at this event with baited breath, anticipation of what will be unveiled during the next three days runs high. From the super congenial registration team, headed by the wonderful Cindy Folak, to our first afternoon session on arrival day, to the welcome reception, luxury wedding speakers, a dine-around hosted by one of our featured speakers and the finale - a grand cocktail reception, dinner and dancing -Wow!!!

Every aspect of the Engage! experience is most exhilarating!  Thank you Rebecca and Kathryn!  Love you!

Bahamas Wedding Review

This warms my heart and makes my day ...  Photos by Crazzi Photographers.

With only six (6) months to plan my fairy-tale wedding, I was a nervous wreck because I knew that there was no way I could have pulled this off in such a short time. Fortunately, I met Mrs. Marva Munroe in the nick of time to assist in planning and coordinating the most important day of my life. As we diligently prepared for the wedding, Marva would listen attentively to my requests and offer sound advice to supplement & enhance my vision. Every time I called, emailed (sometimes in the wee hours of the morning) or wanted to schedule a meeting, she never hesitated to respond in a timely manner. Every minute detail was articulated and discussed as Marva went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that I was happy. There were no requests that she did not hesitate to grant, which made me feel confident in her and less anxious as the big day swiftly approached. 

On November 24th, 2012, as my husband and I made our entrance into our venue, we were left speechless and blown away. The ambiance of the room was one of pure elegance! Marva incorporated lovely decor and special lighting that gave the atmosphere a romantic touch and made sure that everything went smoothly. I definitely received more than what I expected as Marva brought my dream alive that night! 

If you wish to have a beautiful, lavish, extraordinary wedding that will blow your mind, you MUST hire Mrs. Marva Munroe. Her professionalism, humble demeanor, charismatic personality and exemplary work will make you fall in love with her and ease any fears that you may have as your special day approaches. 

Marva is simply MARVELOUS!
