Last Friday, NOZZA Studio, Bella Fiore, and Henry Chen Photography (that would be me!) hosted the first annual Wedding Clique mixer for industry vendors. We’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone that showed up. It was great to finally put faces to names and also see old friends again. Special thanks to Raul and Johnny of R&R Entertainment for DJ/MC-ing the event.

I grabbed a few detail shots of Trini’s and my studio while setting up. We had appetizers, drinks, ambient lighting, and some good music to go along with some great minglngs/discussions. We plan on doing a mixer every quarter of the year and hope to see you (again) at the next one!

Here we are setting up for the event; wished my place could look like this 24/7!

Trini, Deanne, and yours truly of The Wedding Clique getting a quick photo before the guests arrived.

Here’s what Trini’s studio looked like, which is a few doors down from mine. Check out the yummy desserts!

We had a local wedding venues, florists, photographers, designers, planners, and entertainment vendors show up, can’t wait to work with you all. We’re currently working on a new website and will be introducing new features/events throughout the year that will help your business, so stay tuned!

ATTENTION: If you’re a bride and groom that was planning to come to tomorrow’s mixer also at NOZZA and Henry Chen Photography’s studio, due to the heavy rain, we’ll be postponing the mixer to next Friday, January 29th. We sent out an e-mail last night stating the following:

After discussing with my colleagues this afternoon and seeing how it’s been raining very hard these past few days, we’ll be postponing this Friday’s grand opening mixer to NEXT FRIDAY, January 29th, 2010.

We hope this isn’t too much of an inconvenience and still gives you some time to make other plans this Friday evening. Looking at the weather forecast, we’re expecting heavy rain through Friday and some of the local roads/freeways to be closed around Long Beach.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and delay but hope you’ll still be able to join us NEXT FRIDAY for the mixer. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to give me a call at 626-664-6735 or e-mail me back. I hope this e-mail gets to you all in time, I’ll send out another one out tomorrow as a friendly reminder.

Once again, this Friday’s mixer has been postponed to NEXT FRIDAY, January 29th. Thank you and please stay safe and dry!
