2017 Year in Review

2017 Accomplishments

Here we are again! It’s the end of another fantastic year. As I reflect on 2017, I think the word of the year would be “growth”. I used to be someone who was not comfortable with change. I like having a plan, having goals, and being able to see what’s ahead of me. Change used to cause me a lot of stress. Over the past two years, I have become much more comfortable with the unknown and have even embraced change as I have experienced how much growth it can provide.

Here is a brief recap of some personal and professional experiences of 2017:

  • Continued (multiple) renovations on our home in Kittery, Maine
  • Brought on my first intern who happens to be a rockstar Brit with tons of personality and hard work ethic. <3
  • Learned when to ask for help and how to accept it
  • Made new vendor friends and am inspired by them daily
  • Featured on Seacoast Lately’s blog
  • Awarded WeddingWire Couple’s Choice Award
  • As the Leader of the Seacoast, New England’s Rising Tide Society, I continued our monthly meetings while growing and learning with the most talented local vendors
  • Helped feed over 100 local families during the Rising Tide Society’s Philanthropy Month by working with Operation Give A Gobble
  • Continued working with Historic New England as the Event Manager for the Governor John Langdon House and the Hamilton House
  • Attended the 2nd Relevant Workshop 
  • Attended my second Leader’s Retreat for Rising Tide Society (first time checking out San Fran!)
  • Helped two wedding planner friends with their events on weekends I had off
  • Attended my second Sapphire Event Workshop
  • Assisted with planning and design of the Rivermill at Dover Landing’s first Expo
  • Participated in two styled shoots with some incredible vendors
  • Participated in the Hardy Farm Summer Showcase
