Exeter Area Chamber of Commerce “Toast to Excellence” 03.04.10

I am plea­sed to be a mem­ber of my local Cham­ber of Com­merce and even more plea­sed to be able to share my ser­vi­ces with them. When it came to docu­men­ting their annual Toast to Exce­llence I was thri­lled to be a part of it!

Held at the won­der­ful She­ra­ton Har­bor­side in Ports­mouth (where we had our wed­ding reception!) the room was ready to be filled with all the ama­zing mem­bers and affi­lia­tes of the ECC.

Flo­wers were pro­vi­ded by the Exe­ter Flo­wer Shop and each guest was met with a fabu­lous Lindt cho­co­late bar!

ECC Ambas­sa­dors Sarah Boucher & Tamara Gib­bons chec­king peo­ple in.

The HOLY @*$#& Good baked brie. When the woman rolled this cart out I seriously con­tem­pla­ted ditching the came­ras and run­ning away with the brie.

There were dif­fe­rent infor­ma­tio­nal dis­plays set up. 

Then it got down to the pre­sen­ta­tions. This was pro­bably my favo­rite of the night. Heidi & her mom Pat of Reprise Limo - two swee­ter ladies you’ll never met. Their com­mit­ment to exce­llence is out of this world and they were so genui­nely overwhel­med and sur­pri­sed by the well deser­ved recognition. 

And my other favo­ri­tes -Party Time DJ . These two are great — they pro­vide sound & music for most of the cham­ber events and there is no doubt that they know how to have a good time. If you’re plan­ning a wed­ding or event I defi­ni­tely recom­mend them!

And a Toast!

To exce­llence! 

Con­gra­tu­la­tions to all the recipients!

There is a nice write up in the Ports­mouth Herald sum­ma­ri­zing the event.
