NACE Hawaii held its monthly meeting last Tuesday, August 11, and it was very informative and a lot of fun!

The formal meeting was hosted by Tanna Dang of The Wedding Cafe, and it was held in the Kewalo Room at Ward Warehouse, right above the cafe. NACE Hawaii chapter president Herb Yamamoto talked about his experiences at the NACE Experience! Conference in July. Members enjoyed the wonderful slideshow put together by NACE Hawaii Vice President Josette Murai and listened intently to Herb as he spoke about the latest trends and new ideas in weddings & special events.

After the formal presentation, guests moved across the street to Bucca di Beppo, where they enjoyed a very delicious multi-course dinner, excellent networking with other Hawaii wedding & special event professionals, and a great time.

Sue Tabbal with Su-V Expressions got the “royal treatment” NACE Hawaii & Bucca-style since her birthday was the day before!

Special thanks to the following for helping to make this meeting a success:

  • Tanna Dang and her staff at The Wedding Cafe for graciously hosting the formal part of the presentation;
  • Margie Lehman & Tiffany Lee and their wonderful staff at Bucca di Beppo for the ono (delicious) food and fun atmosphere during the eating & networking portion of the night;
  • Herb Yamamoto, Josette Murai, and Linda Leung for sharing their insights and experiences at the NACE Experience! Conference;
  • Marino M. Regalado with Ninja Entertainment for providing the sound system for the educational portion of the evening;
  • James Chun with Crane Media for supplying the multimedia projector;
  • Sue Tabbal with Su-V Expressions for being such a great sport (CHA-CHA-CHA!!);
  • And last but not least,
