Ever so often, I put together an event called "Martini Madness". It's mostly attended by anyone who's anyone in the Wedding and Event Planning Industry, from Hotels, Concierges to Hospitality Vendors including some of my Clients who want to mix, mingle, network and have fun. This event is usually held at a sponsoring venue, hotel, restaurant, club or lounge. Sponsors interested in promoting their products and services would provide the ambiance, food, beverage and entertainment that creates a vibrant atmosphere for party revellers in hopes of potentially gaining some business referrals and exposure. Of all the Martini Madness parties I've ever hosted, last year's "Steam Punk" theme at the beautiful Oceano Hotel and Spa in Half Moon Bay has got to be the most incredible event yet to date. It was not only an Industry party, but also a celebration of birthdays for my best friends David Ethridge of AVR Films, Jonathan Gomez of Asiel Design along with his Dad, Jon Gomez Sr. and Edith Crowe Meyer of Edith Meyer Wedding Cakes. And what a party it was! Thank you once again to our amazing Sponsors who participated in making this a fabulous soiree.

Hi Duncan,
Thumbs up for "Martini Madness"! That's such a dynamic name, but it only begins to convey the excitement of meeting friends and colleagues in the special event biz, where we can 100% enjoy the party, with no worries about making it happen. Thanks for dreaming it up and setting it in motion.
