Professional Wedding Guild Luncheon at Hilton RTP.

Can you believe that this is ALL cake? It is amazing! Not only the bottle but the packing material, the box, the labels, the cheese, and the knife! It was donated by Simply Cakes. This was the door prize at the November luncheon of the Professional Wedding Guild sponsored by the Perfect Wedding Guide of NC.

The Professional Wedding Guild luncheon was held this month at the lovely Hilton RTP in Durham also known as The Mansion on the Hill.

I have done many weddings here. The most recent one was out on the patio.

Here is a wedding out on the front porch of the hotel.

This is a wedding in the Magnolia Room and the guests sat in a configuration in the round.

This wedding was in the Magnolia Room with a different seating configuration.

We were warmly welcomed by Devon Schwartz (right) who is the Catering Sales Manager of the Hilton RTP and Danielle Oberlender (center) who is Director of Catering. On the left is my good friend and colleague, Rev. Robin Renteria.

Tim Oxendine with Diamond DJ Entertainment, Blue Diamond Limousines and Sedans, and Diamond Bodyguard Protection Agency, was our speaker. He spoke on safety. In the photo above he is talking with Megan Donahoe of Wyndham Garden Hotel.

This is the group this month. In the background you can see Kevin Seifert of Kevin Seifert Wedding Photography taking photos of this event.

Gail Galloway, our hostess, was surprised with a bouquet of flowers and a plaque of thanks that says "Thank you for all your support and dedication to the wedding industry" from all the Perfect Wedding Guide vendors.

Fresh Affairs furnished all the pretty centerpieces.

I snapped a quick photo of Jerry Dillard of Jerry Dillard Photography who is a regular at these luncheons, as am I. He is celebrating 40 years of wedding photography and is not used to being the subject of the picture! Congratulations, Jerry!
