So we wrapped up
Prescott Wedding Walk and we're off and running into May with Prom and two weddings and a consultation in Vegas
to
meet our beautiful Vegas bride, Kayla! That's me with Kayla-photo on the left : )
While we were there we went to her fitting because she wanted me to see her in her dress...and to show me the bridesmaids gowns, and talk colors...how could I resist? The truth of the matter, I think I was more excited than Kayla to hear about colors and I felt honored that she took me for her fitting. Goodness she looked BEAUtiful! While I would love to show you a picture of her in her dress, my fingers are sealed on that deal. I don't dare want to risk her fiance, Andy seeing any photos of his bride-to-be before their wedding day. That would be a big slap on my wrist and some extras ;0) What I will leave you with is a beautiful photo of the Bellagio
...ahhh! While at the Bellagio, we stopped for some dinner, just spur of the moment. Hey, we were hungry and felt like a nice dinner...what we didn't expect was this AMAZING European/French
fine dining experience! We walked down the marble stairway into
Picasso (http://www.bellagiolasvegas.com/restaurants/picasso.aspx), and was greeted by this beautiful young lady. We took a quick glance in the room and noticed suits, elegant dresses and stunning tall floral arrangements artistically placed throughout the room. Before, I even had a chance to review the menu, I was caught up in the beauty of the room and was escorted by this handsome gentleman to my seat in which he pulled my seat first and called me ma'dam and then my husbands seat.."sir." I think it was when I noticed that every time a waiter walked passed our table, they said "excuse me", I knew we were in for more than a treat...this was going to be an experience and we were going to enjoy every minute! Our table had a view of the "dancing water" and the food was beyond delicious! Once we paid our bill, the waiter came to me and said, "this is for the lady"...I've got to admit..I was anxious about opening this gold box that read "Picasso" (that's the name of the restaurant)...but I did...can you guess what was in this box? Reply to this post and if you can guess what this box had in it,
you'll win a $75.00 StarStruck! Gift Certificate! Start guessing... : ) Each person has 3 guesses and the first person who can guess or within the category wins!

Frank Shankwitz, Prescott's Hometown Legend, Founder of Make-A-Wish Foundation. A true gentleman and cowboy, an absolute honor to meet and know this man. Frank is a very down-to-earth person, kind, compassionate & honest. He established the Make-A-Wish Foundation by being inspired by Chris Greicius, a 7-year old boy diagnosed with luekemia. Chris had always dreamed of being a police officer. on May 2 1980, Frank (DPS motor officer) granted Chris' wish by presenting Chris with his motorcycle wings! After realizing how happy granting this wish made Chris, Frank had the desire to continue to do the same for other children who are diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. Make-A-Wish Foundation was established as a 501 c3 in 11/1980, more information at, www.wishaz.org . On May 1 & 2 StarStruck! hosted a Spring Soiree at Briar Wreath B & B benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona, for the Northern Arizona chapter. During the evening we held a fashion show by Bella Donna Boutique, mingled to live music by Max Borjon, enjoyed appetizers & fabulous wine from Veritas International Wine, guests were inspired by wish child testimony and we closed the evening presenting our partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northern Arizona: for every event booked with StarStruck! Event Planning exceeding a $2,000.00 budget we will donate between 3% and 5% to help grant wishes to children with life threatening illnesses. After meeting Frank and staff at the Make-A-Wish Foundation we felt this was the right organization to make contributions to and are excited to have the opportunity to continue helping those less fortunate and ill through StarStruck! Event Planning.
Yavapai Humane Society held the Spring Swing Gala at the beautiful historic, Hassayampa Inn in downtown Prescott, Arizona. We had the pleasure of producing a fabulous "Roaring Twenties" theme, already set in place by Board President. This was a night of "speak easy" atmosphere, jazz and swing and we couldn't have a Roaring Twenties theme without feathers and Model T cars! Photos by Chris Marchetti
