Well Peak Events has been busy. We just finished wrapping up a proposal for our annual Oktoberfest event, and hopefully we will be hearing good news today! We had some great news last week! We will be working with Northern Arizona University on the 2009 Native American Programs Golf Tournament. We are very excited and are already getting started, even though the event won’t be held until October.
Christina and I spent all day yesterday touring different wedding locations around town, as well as some bridal shops. Since Christina is new to town, we felt we should show her the most popular places to get married. We stopped first at the local bridal shop, Pure Elegance. We couldn’t believe that we were the only wedding planners in town to have our business cards displayed there. Then it was off to wedding locations. We went to the Elks Lodge, then way out to the Chapel of the Holy Dove. On our way back we stopped by the Nordic Center. That was a very nice location and perfect for all Flagstaff Brides. You have a beautiful meadow to get married in, and then they bring in a large tent for the reception. Not to mention the bride and groom get their own yurt for the night of the wedding. My aunt Terri would appreciate that, since she owns a yurt in Washington. We of course had to stop for lunch, but then it was off to Foxboro. Foxboro is just 20 miles south of Flagstaff and a new housing development is going up there. We drove up and Christina and I both let out a big “OH MY GOD”. It was stunning. You drive through a beautiful gate and up to the clubhouse. The clubhouse is a log cabin with wrap around decks and its own lake in the back. You walk in the doors and see amazing views through floor to ceiling windows. The furniture was to die for and you had to walk around a LARGE tree in the middle of the room! We met a wonderful woman named Suzanne. She was more than happy to sit down and talk to us. They have 264 acres that won’t be touched by homes. The home sites are around the perimeter of Foxboro, and as of now there are only 2 homes that are completed. They have 3 lakes that are all fully stocked. You get to drive across not one but two covered bridges. It was stunning, both Christina and I wanted to get married there. And the great news is they are very open to holding weddings, corporate events and possibly festivals!
It was a busy day, but a very productive one!
