Hosted May 19-20 at Santa Barbara, CA’s Simpson House Inn, North America’s first and only five-star bed and breakfast, by Pauline Parry, president of Good Gracious! Events
and Rrivre Davies of Rrivre Works Design Studio, set the stage for two days of deluxe dining, mingling and luxurious pampering. The (Getting To Know You sleepover) event was a treat for Coordinators to be pampered who are usually busy pampering everyone else.
“As amazing as the food, the staff and the hospitality was of the Simpson House Inn, the real magic of the event was the beauty of the people that were invited,” said Davies. “These natural competitors came together as friends. We all have mutual respect for each other.”
“We had really quality vendors and real industry players at this event,” concurred Parry. “We realize we have to treat our vendors like partners. They are our team. To me, this was another way to solidify our relationship.”
