The Lack of Customer Service

In a world where customer service is crumbling around us, even a minimal effort is appreciated. But we can all do better. We can all provide a customer service experience is that unforgettable and will leave your attendees talking about how much better your event is than all of the others.

Where do you start crafting your customer service strategy? With the host hotel, of course! In San Diego, we are lucky to have many hotels that are always striving to provide the very best customer service possible.

We are also among the very lucky that get to enjoy divine dining all around our city. From beach front views to roof top dinning enjoying the city lights, San Diego is not only striving to serve it’s tourist but naturally gives off a beautiful essence.

An example of that commitment to customer service comes from the dedication to make their dream a reality. With each special occasion held in this lovely time piece of a city I strive to bring a certain level of customer respect to each client and their attendees.

LOVE Mexico... Let's Be Real, Who Doesn't! (Part 1)

Let's just start out by saying what a freaking amazing trip this was! Puerto Vallarta is absolutely fabulous and has so much beauty! Thank you LOVE MEXICO!

But first let's start with the resort that hosted us, Grand Fiesta Americana , the adults only all inclusive resort with breathtaking with ocean views from every room. Five star dining options and multiple bars to choose from that cater to your liquor of choice!

Fun and Funky Bridesmaid Gift Idea

Gift Ideas for your Bridesmaids ( http://www.100layercake.com/market/view/4835/24/bridesmaid-cards-i-found-my-man-but-i-still-need-my-girls ) Being asked to be in the wedding of somebody you love is an absolute honor. When you get proposed the question of being a bridesmaid, it is truly magic! This is a moment in your life which will remain a darling memory forevermore. Somebody close to you considers you SO special that they want you by their side during the most important moment of their life.

The Love Story of Jamie and Alex

With the new year sneaking upon us, I decided to start a new trend on the blog, which I think is pretty fun myself! After each of my couples have their engagement photoshoot, I am asking them to give me a little interview on their personal "love story". And let me just say, I have all the feels after reading what Jamie had to say about the way her and Alex first met, started dating and how he finally popped the BIG question! EEEK! Let's dive in: " My first day moving to East Lansing, to start my Freshman year at Michigan State, my friend from high school invited me to her sister's house party. Alex was there because he just moved in next door. He came up to me and of course I thought he was so hot! He introduced himself and told me he was 20. Being 18, I thought this was the hottest thing I've ever heard! We joke and say "you had me at 'I'm 20'" hahaha. We kissed like the entire night, but being my first day on...
