Mary Dann will teach at The Wedding University!

This year, we are thrilled to have Mary Dann-McNamee (wedding planner extraordinaire) participate in The Wedding University!

Mary Dann will be teaching newly engaged couples the logistical aspect of wedding planning, including timelines, budget, and working effectively with your vendors.

As one of the most sought-after event coordinators in Southern California, Mary Dann-McNamee and her team of wedding and party coordinators have been responsible for detailed event planning and creative party consultation to many corporations and families throughout the country since 1991. They are known for their commitment to surpass their clients' expectations and have created intimate weddings and extravagant upscale. Mary's passion for the industry has led her down many paths, including becoming a contributing writer for "Inside Weddings" magazine, “Ceremony” magazine and an on-air talent for many nationally syndicated television shows. These shows are Style Network’s " Whose Wedding Is It Anyway," and “Married Away”, and WE Network’s “Platinum Wedding” and a special segments of “Top Ten Wedding Destinations”.

Mary believes that it is her job to make her client's dreams come true, so more than just finding the perfect location for a wedding, she makes it a priority to get to know who she is working with so she can instantly relieve the stress and confusion of the process. Mary attributes her calming nature to her other passion -- she holds a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology and was a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Intern. Her work with individuals and couples strengthens her listening skills, mediation ability and creative vision planning ability. Mary has planned weddings for designers, writers, catering managers and for corporations like O'Melveny & Myers, Sony Music, Vogue Magazine, IMG, Nautica and Cloudbreak Entertainment. In addition she has worked on nuptials for clients from Pro Athletic Teams, such as Kobe Bryant, Austin Croshere and Malcolm Johnson.

The Wedding University will take place on Sunday, January 31, 2010 at the Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley. If you are engaged and interested in learning the ins and outs of wedding planning from top industry experts, you definitely do not want to miss this opportunity! We will also have fabulous prizes, including a honeymoon stay at a luxurious Four Seasons resort, an ipod filled with wedding tunes, a tea for two at Crown and Crumpet Tea Salon, and discount coupons for luxurious wedding services!
