Montage Beverly Hills | Coordinator CONFAB Day 2 and Tabletop Shoot

Day 2 of CONFAB also took place in the beautiful Conservatory Room at the Montage Beverly Hills Hotel. We began with a session on reviewing the essentials of the Planner Form and important components of the Timeline presented by Carrie Johnson of Details Details. We then welcomed Persian Wedding Expert, Taraneh Ajdar who graciously shared with us information on the historical & cultural significance of the Persian wedding and what constitutes a Sofreh.Following our scrumptious lunch in Scarpetta, attendees participated in a mock rehearsal demonstration headed by Alicia Townsend. Following a quick tweet/social media break, the attendees then got to hear from Brian Press of Impressive Creations who shared with us his extensive knowledge on how to capture every bride & grooms special day in the form of wedding cinematography. Brian also provided us with insight into what makes a great wedding planner from the perspective of a videographer!Another important aspect of a wedding planner's job is utilizing wedding blogs as a platform to advertise your business, and who best to discuss style shoots and submissions than Summer Watkins of Grey Likes Weddings! Summer is always such a hit with the attendees and the information she provides is priceless! To conclude the night, Sunny Ravanbach and her team from White Lilac Inc. designed and built a house, literally.  They set up a fabulous table top for our final Confab Dinner which the amazing Jessica Claire from Jessica Claire Photography shot while all of the attendees had an opportunity to observe and learn about the components of a real style shoot!
