The moment I walked into my dream to inspire others...taking the stage to welcome my AMAZING Speakers, Attendees and Sponsors at the EmpoWEred Planners Conference!!!

Don't ever stop pursuing your dreams!

Be an innovator, trailblazer and most importantly...

EMPOWER others along the way!

The photo above captures some of these yummy swagbag items:  Encouragement Postcards (Cultivate What Matters); Candles & Room Sprays (The Candle Lab);  Laser cut state of Ohio keychains (Griffen Hollow Studio) Personalized Cookies (Not Your Average Cookie); Victoria Secret's PINK Ohio State socks & Parishma Scarves (Distinct Event Planning); Baubles & Bowties (Elegant Events by Elisa); Cake Pops (Sadie Baby Sweets); additional amazing discounts from Matchology, The Olivine, and Dubsado.

The Hilton Columbus Downtown was the host hotel and attendees were treated to scrumptious award-wining culinary creations.  Griffin's Floral Design adorned the tables with gorgeous centerpieces with brilliant pops of color! The centerpieces were the perfect compliment to the lovely tables linens, mirage chairs and silver sponge chargers provided by Event Source. Totally Dazzled added the pop of bling we needed with these dazzling napkin rings. The pretty custom menu cards were provided by Alist Invitations and the escort cards by Alternative Hitches Fine Papers.   Thank you to all of our AMAZING sponsors!!!

This was an epic, life changing experience.

It was a boost of confidence in knowing my worth as a creative.

EPC 2017 meet every expectation and then some!!! It was an amazing atmosphere for wedding planners to come together under one roof and learn from some of the best in the industry! You can expect to ask hard questions, receive real answers & walk away with a game-plan for true business growth!!! 

~Kat Schmoyer, EPC 17 Speaker

All of the logistics were so carefully thought out.

I was BEYOND impressed with how well you took care of your speakers. Hands down - the best I've seen in the creative industry!!!!!!! 

~Jessica Rasdall, EPC 17 Keynote Speaker

After our first full day of amazing industry education, a lot of high-fives, hugs, handshakes and even a few tears…we wrapped up the day with a full on celebration at the EPC Power Party!!! We can’t thank our sponsors enough for creating an incredible experience for our party!  Griffin's Floral Design WOWED us with a custom built stage flanked with 2 massively stunning floral arrangements (I mean just look, these pieces were so GORGEOUS!!!), they also designed the table top floral arrangements which decorated the beautiful linen and chairs from Event Source. The Hilton Columbus Downtown culinary team prepared a scrumptious spread of hors d’oeuvres and desserts. Our guests were welcomed by beautiful stilt walkers and entertained by a hula hoop performer all from The Amazing Giants.  The mirror photobooth from Magic Mirror Photobooth was a huge hit and provided all the fun!! We jammed the night away with the awesome sounds of the best band ever - Soul Derivative!!! All the fun and gorgeousness captured by Kamron Khan Photography and Jazzy MaePhotography.

This was a party to remember for ever!!!

All the speakers were great and provided excellent perspective.
