So, I had a little lunch earlier in the week at Lydia’s with one of Pittsburgh’s wonderful Event Planners: Simone Hudson of 5Senses Events Design. Simone has been helping couples with their weddings for the past three years now here in Pittsburgh and I have only one thing to say about her - she is a pure DELIGHT to be around! Ok, two things: her energy is wonderful; Ok, three things!: her spirit is beautiful; Ok, many, many more wonderful things: Simone is interesting, interested, invested in her clients and thoroughly enjoys her work! I could go on and on, but I think you should just get to know this sweet soul yourselves by hiring her to help you on your wedding day!
I did a little “interview” with Simone about her work and asked her the following questions:
JB: What are your top three bits of advice for wedding clients?
SH: 1. Begin to work with me even before you’ve chosen your venue; it’ll make the world of difference as I help you make your vision of your wedding into a dream come true, 2. Relax; when in my “hands” you can be confident of my abilities to plan and execute your day perfectly, and 3. Have FUN; it’s all about your party and you should enjoy your wedding day like no other day!
JB: What is your favorite part about planning events?
SH: Watching couples have a wonderful time at their party with their family and friends is complete satisfaction for me!
It turns out that you’ll probably find Simone dancing off to the side with a smile on her face as she watches you enjoy yourselves - I say get her on the floor!
Here’s a little composite photo I created capturing Simone’s beautiful, fun and wonderful energy - well, ‘CHA!;’ of course I took my camera with me to lunch!!! ENJOY!

Perhaps…”the beat with JB” or “JB on the streets” …hmmmmm…that’s not sounding too good…how about “INSPIRED interviews by JB,” in keeping with my “BE INSPIRED” theme, or “INSPIRED conversations with JB.” Again, I’m open to ideas, clearly!
