It’s not uncommon for me to get a “problem call” on wedding day. In fact, it’s common and a regular occurrence. For two months now these “problem calls” have been rolling in. They aren’t coming from my clients in numerous states marrying an inmate either. Instead they are coming from my “traditional clients.” Standard bookings […]

There goes another good nights sleep at WorthamWorld.  My husband assumed that “one of the subcontractors must have been in the model home […]

When people come to me seeking an Officiant many of them say the same thing. What is it? “I just need someone to walk in and officiate my wedding.” The problem? Your prison wedding location is 5 hours or 6 or more from my location ONE WAY. “Just walk in?” You are “simplifying the process […]

While going over event details with a client from my home office last night, my husband overheard me suggest hiring an outside bartender and security for an upcoming prom themed birthday party for 110-120 guests in November. My husband was getting a martini at the bar in my office. Occasionally when dealing with other vendors, […]

Certain members of my client bases? Rare if ever.  I worked as a commercial model for twenty plus years. While some […]

Yesterday, I was told I was “lucky.” Somewhat offended, I responded “luck has nothing to do with success. Quite the opposite, luck is a fairy tale. Success comes from hard work, dedication, passion and perseverance. I’m a workaholic and overachiever who pioneered my way into an industry where no one and I mean absolutely no […]
