Back from engage!12 the one and only luxury wedding business summit.  This year’s engage took place at the beautiful Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Las Vegas, the American city of lights and dazzle.  The color theme was gold and blue, the swag bags, the gifts, the presentation, and the speakers was like no other event.  The event founders, Rebecca Grinnals and Kathryn Arce of Engaging  Concepts, are known for “wowing” their guests, and by no means they did not disappoint.

The summit showcased some fabulous speakers including new comers who spoke from the soul, and heart sharing with all how they got to where they are. Elizabeth Messina – love her passion/kindness/generous heart, Sharon Sacks – love her delivery/words/persona, Emily Snyder, Maria Cooke, Angela Desveaux – love her story/truth/spirit, Jes Gordon – love everything about her!, Peter Callahan – love his food!, Anne Fulenwider – love her sophistication, Brian Worley – love his honesty.  The remainder of the speakers were returning favorites; Mindy Weiss, Sean Low, Cindy Novotny, Marcy Blum, Jill Meister, Susan Moynihan, Carley Roney, Ed Libby, Jasmine Star,Tara Guerard, Harmony Walton, Christy Weber, Siri Eklund and Abby Larson who always deliver and never disappoint!
