Our monthly meetings are a great place to network with other wedding professionals in San Diego and to put a name to the face of companies who sometimes service the same couples as you. We have evening meetings on the calendar once a quarter to accommodate wedding professionals who may not be able to attend the luncheon meetings; these events are outstanding for networking in a more casual setting.
Here is what you can expect at our meetings:
- Our meetings are on the 3rd Tuesday of each month unless special accommodations are made around holidays.
- We offer Professional Development sessions at 8:30am and are open to ABC Novice members or for those in business for 5 years or less
- Meetings start with a networking hour at 9:30am
- Informative meeting beginning at 10:30
- A wonderful luncheon presented and served proudly by some of the finest venues or caterers who strive to achieve the highest standards for weddings.
Because our meetings emulate a wedding reception setting, we invite ABC members to sponsor their services as a way to showcase their work. Here are samples of sponsored services:
- Linens
- Photography & Videography
- Cakeries
- Rentals
- Entertainment
- Catering
- Specialty Services
We schedule evening meetings on the calendar once a quarter to accomdate wedding professionals who may not be able to attend the luncheon meetings and these events are outstanding for networking in a more casual setting.
We hope you can join us at an upcoming meeting as either a guest or hopefully as a new member to the Association of Bridal Consultants. Whether you are interested in becoming a wedding consultant or already an established wedding professional, we would love to get to know you and your services!
Be sure to check our upcoming schedule and mark the next meeting on your calendar and also check out some great photos from meetings past. We hope to see you soon!
