New Beginnings with La Quinta Resort and Club
Happy Rainy Day in Los Angeles…
I am looking forward to celebrating Carissa’s 30th birthday this weekend at one of my favorite places, La Quinta Resort and Club. I’ll post pictures next week. Thrilled to announce I have been asked to help La Quinta Resort and Club with creating a beautiful event planning showroom at the resort (near the front lobby). La Quinta Resort and Club will be showcasing their favorite and best vendors. I’m so glad to consult on this project and help La Quinta Resort and Club attract more amazing clients/brides to their beautiful resort. I’ll be sure to give updates along the way of how the showroom is coming along! If you have never been to La Quinta Resort and Club, I highly recommend you visit, but in the meantime here are some images to give you a sneak peek!

View Mary Dann in Action on Style Network's TV Show, Married Away
In April 2007, I was asked by the Style network to be the planner for Brad and Leia’s wedding in Lake Louise and Banff Springs for 30 guests with only 6 weeks to plan it all. The show was called “Married Away” (a spin off of “Who’s Wedding Is It Anyway?”). Thankfully I was only a few months pregnant and was available for their wedding date. I usually love being filmed while I coordinate a special wedding day, the stakes are higher, I feel more challenged and I love the chance to show my style of wedding planning! I am just bummed they cancelled this show and no re-runs are being played. Here is an image of myself, the couple and film crew!

Wedding Planning Group Therapy
The New Year is here and along comes bright beginnings! I am taking my 10 years of Marriage Family Therapy and my 18 years of Wedding Planning and creating Wedding Planning Group Therapy for anyone navigating the wedding planning journey.What happens: every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month, attendees come together in a group setting (circle time with others going through the same journey) to discuss their fears, anxiety, challenges, and joys of getting to “I do”. I would be the facilitator to keep the group on track and growing.Please share the news with your brides, grooms or couples. My hope is to keep fears, anxiety and “family issues” to a minimum by giving the group a space to share…and in return, you can better enjoy what you love to do!!!
