Wedding Professionals Network At "Evenings With Trinidad Weddings (TW)"




Trinidad Weddings hosted its first "Evenings with TW" at the Anchorage Beach Club on Friday January 17, 2014. 

It was a lovely evening for Trinidad Weddings' members who include: event planners, decorators, photographers, cake artists, florists, bridal registry representatives, venue owners, artisans and entrepreneurs who provide services for weddings and events.

This was the first, formal networking event for local wedding professionals in Trinidad & Tobago.

Guests came together to get to know one another, in a relaxed atmosphere, with beautiful ambiance by the sea at The Anchorage Beach Club.

There was also an educational element to the event - Tricia Ramoutar-Soo Hon from INTACTT, the Guest Speaker, discussed how to manage cash flow in your business by using a demonstration of a pitcher of coloured water and glasses. (*see photo below).   





After this, guests got to meet each other during an entertaining  “deck of cards” networking game.  A pair of guests who had matching cards was chosen as the winners and presented with prizes.  


 


 







 Closing off the night, was a performance by tenor vocalist, Andre Mangatal.




Lime.tt was also there providing photo coverage for the event and promoting their "Photo Keepsakes", a service where photos are taken and printed on-site for any event.

Part proceeds from the event went to the Archie Stephen's home in Warrenville

It is funded currently only by St. Vincent de Paul. This home caters for children of the Cyril Ross Home and other homes who get too old to live there but still need room & board somewhere.
