Jenna and Michael

Jenna is one of the most beautiful girls you will ever meet that is truly beautiful inside and out. I LOVED assisting Jenna and Michael in planning this special day that began with an amazing and spiritual ceremony at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church in Tempe.

The photo below is one of my favorite photos, Jenna and Michael are so loved that all the toasts were such a tribute to their loving personalities.

The tables were a variety of different sizes and shapes, it looks so amazing!
The apple green toasting flutes are so cute.
Once again, my amazing and talented daughter, Kelsey Murrietta of Flossy Stylish Design designed all the great paper products.

This is hilarious, I love it!!

All my love to you both for a long and happy marriage!!

Thanks Kristen, Grinnell Photo for sharing these great images

I am so excited to let everyone know that we have been nominated one of Arizona Bride Magazine Best of 2009. There are three nominated for Best Wedding Planner with the results being announced this month.

My extremely talented daughter, Kelsey Murrietta of Flossy Stylish Design was nominated in the invitation category. I am so proud of her as she has only been in business a short time so it is obvious how awesome she is at all she does! It is so great to have her working with me on weddings as well, I don't tell her often enough how much she is loved and appreciated.

Even if we do not win we are so honored to be nominated, and give a tremendous thank you to everyone who voted for us!

A note from Julia

2009 Bride's Choice Award

WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that In Awe Weddings and Events has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™! In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means In Awe Weddings and Events is one of the very best wedding planners. Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews. “We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.” Sandy Walker and Kelsey Murrietta would like to thank our past clients for speaking on our behalf and helping us win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!
