NWPG Luncheon at Puffy Muffin

This year I joined Nashville Wedding Planners Group (NWPG) which was started by Jennifer Hamilton and Tiffani Helms to create a community for local planners. I've gotten to know and work with many other planners, but this venue really provides a new outlet to learn and collaborate.

Our first meeting of 2015 took place at Puffy Muffin in Cool Springs. They have a fantastic private room that would be perfect for a rehearsal dinner, bridal brunch, birthday party, etc. On top of that, their food is wonderful and their pastry chefs are amazingly talented at both desserts and wedding cakes!

Vendor Spotlight: Batch Nashville for Gifts & Welcome Bags

,

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of being introduced to Batch Nashville! You've heard of BarkBox (for the pup) and Birchbox (for beauty products), Batch is a local box for monthly or individual delivery. From snacks to jewelry, they offer it all.

Not only did they give me great information to share with you, they also gave me a sample (which led to my new Nola Granola obsession)! Check them out for yourself and see how Batch can add a special element to your wedding...

What is Batch?
Batch is hand-crafted, artisinal, local, reginonal, hand-delivered.
We seek fine ingredients, fine confections, fine purveyors, and fine goods.
Essentially, it's the best made local goods packaged up and delivered.

Basic wedding info:
All of our wedding batches are completely customizable and can be built to fit any budget. We can put together great gifts for the bridal party, shower hosts, family, and out-of-town guests.
