NBC Nightly News Coverage

The 2010 San Francisco Dream Wedding Giveaway is a project I created to give one deserving couple facing loss, illness or hardship the chance at winning the wedding of their dreams.



It's a community service endeavor that involves over 40 local vendors joining together to create a once in a lifetime affair that will be donated to a couple we feel truly needs and deserves it.

On August 4, 2009, the giveaway launched to much fanfare, complete with the NBC Nightly News featuring a story about this philanthropy project sponsored by some of the bay area's most sought-after wedding and travel professionals.

It's funny because the day they interviewed me was anything but calm. Around 3:30 that afternoon, as I babysat a neighbors' kid dressed in jeans, a t-shirt and no makeup, I got a phone call from NBC. They asked if they could interview me about the giveaway. "Sure," I said excitedly, "When would you like to do it?" "Well," said the NBC producer, "We'd like to interview you in the next 30 minutes, so we can get it on TV tonight."

Hmmmmm, okay. I immediately shifted gears and went into full-planning-mode! Part of being a good event planner is knowing how to be flexible and how to change plans at the drop of a hat. Needless to say, a bit of chaos went on behind the scenes.

But I think the interview went well, and I was pretty stoked to see my name in lights!!!

For those of you who have not yet seen it- please stop by the website at The 2010 San Francisco Dream Wedding Giveaway!

If you know someone who could be our Mr. and Mrs. Right, tell them to check it out :)




Love,
