This type of seminar is desperately needed in a place like Cincinnati, OH. I currently work part time for an event center and the amount of waste created during the span of one wedding is atrocious-enough for me to want to break out and start my own green event planning business. While still in the very beginning stages, this seminar would be a great opportunity to get advice, gain knowledge, new contacts and most importantly, inspiration! I just recently helped my sister plan her wedding and ran into a lot of hurdles promoting and convincing her of the green options, since they were either more expensive or seemingly less traditional. It would be great to gain some insight about how to market a green wedding or event! Thanks so much for this opportunity! Eco-beautiful is always inspiring and fresh!

I’m very excited to find out about this scholarship opportunity Savannah, GA is such a perfect spot for this event. Late last year I started making the move to offer more eco free choices, as a designer and printer I have control over the supplies I purchase. I have changed my stock paper to a tree-free cotton based paper and my press is operated by a foot operated treadle. I know that there are a lot more things I can do and I think this is the perfect atmosphere to learn in. Not some huge event with 100’s of people where you get lost in the crowd.

I would love the opportunity to do this! We are starting to implement more eco-friendly ideas into our business {including a new “green” album company that we will be offering very soon!} but I would love to learn more about what we can do as a business. We try and live our everyday lives as best as we can by recycling and making less waste for the world in general, but I’m sure there is more we could learn. I love that being eco-friendly is becoming such a great trend in weddings. I just really hope that it is here to stay and translates into our everyday lives.

I would LOVE to attend this event. Our company is only just now learning a bit about being green. After hosting Backstage Bridal and offering some green elements and having green education, we’ve developed a strong desire to be a green company in the way we operate our business and offer green options for our clients. The problem is we are not sure where to being. This education would be a tremendous help is getting our company on the right path to green living and business operations. Thanks for considering!
