Okay my new Brides Magazine arrived today in the mail. The cover is a beautiful bride , beautiful bouquet and some fabulous hightlights to their articles inside. The Prettiest Dresses for your shape, style & budget 385 Creative New Ideas
The Most Delicious Cake Ever -Gorgeous Hair that lasts all night -
So what makes this so special ?- For once the headlines are not focusing on budget first - How to save money - how to do it yourself - how to spend the least -
It is focusing on how to make your day special - How to make your day reflect you - How to help create an unforgettable experience for you and your guests. I love it. Not that budget is not important but I am so tired of everything starting with budget and forgetting about making it special and making it a momment to cherish. That does not necessarily mean spending a fortune, but it does mean first starting with what your dreams are. What do you love ?- It could be as simple as passing rootbeer floats at the end of the night because they are your favorites or making your childhood favorite cookies for your favors. These details happen to be very affordable - but more important creating something fun and memorable.

Laurie Beckmann

I have been helping brides plan, coordinate, host weddings and ceremonies in the Capital District since 1978. Starting first with a love of cooking, I began to plan events and catered them. My background includes managing large events for Piccolo's at the Plachza where I coordinated Governor Carey's wedding to working in France as a chef on a private yacht.

The Capital District has been my home for over 27 years when my husband and I purchased a historic house in Altamont: The Appel Inn. A tavern from the 1700's, we turned it into a Bed and Breakfast. It was our good fortune in 1983, when a wonderful young couple knocked on our door and asked if we would host their wedding at the B&B.

The rest is history and the beginning of an amazing career that has allowed me to participate in hundreds of special occasions. The increased demand for events led to the design and construction of what we call The Gathering Space, a beautiful structure on our property that can accommodate over 150 people. We even added a bridal boutique where we make custom dresses. Over 1400 brides have passed through our elegant historic inn or The Gathering Space over the last 27 years.

I believe in simple elegance and love helping brides and their families create the day of their dreams, and in case anyone is wondering -- that first couple celebrated their 26th anniversary last November.
