2014 FS Weds VIP Luncheon Speakers

Marcy Blum, Marcy Blum Associates – Marcy Blum has been creating wonderful, memorable, magical weddings and events for 27 years. Her sane and humorous approach to entertaining in general and weddings in particular has made her an internationally sought-after wedding and party planner. Marcy is credited with being among the first to offer couples elegant, fun, and stylish alternatives to the cookie-cutter wedding. In addition to her work as an “eventiste,” Marcy is also a sought-after speaker and consultant for businesses in the wedding and special-event field. Aside from having contributed to many publications, the third edition of the best selling Wedding Planning for Dummies, written by Marcy, was released this year. She has been a guest on Oprah, The Today Show, The Nate Berkus Show, Rocco’s Dinner Party, Good Day New York, and The Early Show. She has also been a guest on several party planning shows in Japan but has no idea what was said to her.

Julie Sabatino, The Stylish Bride – Since 2004, Julie Sabatino, founder of The Stylish Bride has been helping her clients with all of their fashion needs surrounding major life celebrations. She has cultivated an expertise in all there is to know about fashion and shopping in New York City, and has relationships ranging from the most exclusive boutiques to Seventh Avenue showrooms.  This access allows her to customize a look for the most discerning client. She is committed to delivering the most luxurious and productive experience to her clients. Her career in the fashion industry started as a result of having difficulty finding her own wedding dress. She looked in vain for someone to help her, and the idea for The Stylish Bride was hatched.  After getting married in 2001, she decided to leave her job at Solomon Smith Barney and study at The Fashion Institute of Technology, where she graduated in 2003. Still in love with the wedding industry, she went to work for the bridal designer Amsale at their Madison Avenue boutique. While there, she worked with brides every day and realized that they needed the same non-biased help that she had a few years earlier.  So she launched The Stylish Bride in 2004, and has loved working with her clients ever since. Julie lives in Manhattan with her husband Michael and her two children Annemarie (5) and Teddy (3).
