The talk of the party was definitely PhotoMingle.  It’s the modern day photo booth with an interactive touch screen that allows you to re-take pictures and write messages directly on the monitor.  Everyone had a blast getting their pictures taken.

We knew that throwing The Knot vendor party at the Waldorf=Astoria, Orlando  meant that it had to be truly something special. We wanted to get the best of the best involved in this event and we definitely got the heavy hitters to come out and play.  It was also an opportunity for guests to give back to the local community and donate canned goods to benefit Feeding America. 

We created a theme to honor the The New York Waldorf hotel and wanted to combine it with the new and modern feel of the Orlando location.  We started the night off inside the Grand Ballroom to showcase the elegance and sophistication that you would expect from The Waldorf.

We ended the night outside under the stars on The Island so everyone could enjoy the new and modern resort feel of the Orlando Waldorf. 

Thank you so much to all the amazing vendors who made this event so successfull: Kirby Rentals, Aerial Rigging, Raining Roses, Flourish, Room Service/AFR, Kaleidoscope Event Lighting, Metropolis Productions, Messina Productions, Beautiful Music, Solutions Bridal, The Buzz Cats, Caroline Johnson Photography, Brett Culp Videography, The Collection,The Cake Studio, Live Art by Julie, Key Artist Group, Ice Magic and Cake O Licious, 

We’re so excited about The Knot party tonight at the spectacular Waldorf-Astoria here in Orlando.  Working with the Waldorf staff and so many amazing vendors we’ve got a party that’s sure to be remembered.

Fighting the battle against Breast Cancer is something near and dear to us at Weddings Unique. 

Breast cancer is a type of cancer where cells in the breast tissue divide and grow without normal control. It is a widespread and random disease, striking women and men of all ages and races. It is the most prevalent cancer in the world today, with about 1.3 million people diagnosed annually. The exact cause of the disease is unknown, and at this time, there is no cure.

But there is hope. Thanks to heightened awareness, early detection through screening, improved treatment methods and increased access to breast health services, people have a greater chance of survival than ever before.

To learn how to get involved or to donate please visit the Susan G. Komen for the Cure website.  Please help support our mission to end breast cancer.
