Meet 'The Weducator' Tia R. Ervin

Yes, we have our own IN-HOUSE wedding planning expert.  Not that I'm yet ready for her to unleash her power upon my love life, but it has a certain 'ring' to if I say so myself! (smile).

Tia R. Ervin - The Weducator www.milestone-occasions.com

Tia R. Ervin is CEO of Milestone Occasions, LLC, a wedding planning, design, and production consultancy specializing in life’s social celebrations.  As a married mother of 2 young girls, she often refers to herself as 'Mommy Mogul', because she has mastered the art of balancing family and business.  As she builds her foundation and makes her mark as a leading wedding expert, she has adopted the name 'The Weducator' to perhaps best demonstrate that she is more than a CEO, more than a wedding planner, but she is someone that others can look to for guidance in this maze of an ever changing industry.  From wedding fashion, to wedding decor and entertainment, Tia R. Ervin as 'The Weducator' is the go to resource for brides, grooms, parents of the bride/groom, wedding party, wedding pros, and aspiring wedding planners. 

Tia recently sat down with Alicia Edwards, a Fashion Designer turned Style Writer to discuss all things weddings in anticipation of The Great Royal Marriage set to take place tomorrow, April 29, 2011.  

Tia's reaction to SEEING the Royal Couple - cute!

With close to 15 years of experience creating beautiful, unique and fantasy weddings and events, Tia has been afforded opportunities to share her knowledge with others and was most recently named as the Atlanta Chapter of the Association of Certified Professional Wedding Consultants.   She has facilitated the power seminar "You're Engaged, Now What" presented by Plan it Productions at their Bridal Extravaganza of Atlanta bridal showcase.  She has also appeared as a guest expert on Lifetime Televisions 'Get Married' hosted by Colin Cowie three times and was a speaker at the 2009 Wedding MBA Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.  As the creator of the Wedding Planning Professional Workshop Series, she goes above and beyond to ensure other wedding professionals are at the top of their game.  In 2010, she was named Best of Wedding Planners in Georgia for The Knot Magazine and in 2011, she added the "Mom and Me Wedding Planning Luncheon" to her educational agenda to ensure every bride (and the woman who loves her best) has valuable information she can use to plan a wedding. Her personality is best described as part Oprah for her sensibility and generosity, with a dash of Wendy Williams and Monique for her down home quick wit.

And The Beat Goes On....

Wow, life right now feels like a nice mix of the kind of excitement you get when you strap on your seatbelt in anticipation of a roller coaster ride that's sure to give you a range of emotions from exhilaration to trepidation, fear and relief - a beautiful mess! Guess what, I love it! It means, I'M ALIVE!  (giggles).

Well, there's much to share as our clients are LIVING and BREATHING their PASSIONS for serving others and sharing their natural God-given talents with the world! Very exciting watching these brand-makers SOAR!

Parenting Expert, Dr. Bisa

Thursday was such a day of celebration with our Parenting Expert, Dr. Bisa's debut on Essence.com (courtesy of Blogger Extraordinaire, Afrobella)! Congrats Dr. Bisa!  She looked so beautiful in her "Natural Hair" story, Essence.com's line up of natural hair stories featuring beautiful, dynamic and inspiring women!  Then the weekend continued with client, Renee Knorr at a power meeting with other magnificent women as we discussed the latest in celebrity golf, fashion and lifestyle. Quite exciting as we 'name-dropped' celebs you'd only see on Oprah's couch - OW! Then it was on to Matchmaker Ming Gregory of Color Blind International to prepare for NATIONAL!!!! (sighing here....A. Little. Bit. Stressed.)

Client, Tia R. Ervin of Milestone Occasions kicked-off her signature "Mom & Me" Bridal Luncheon at the Atlanta Marriott Buckhead with a nice and intimate crowd of mothers and daughters getting ready for the biggest day in their lives.  It was very beautiful, inviting and fun! Ms. Tia R. Ervin knows her stuff!  I understand why she was named The Knot's 2010 Wedding Planner of the Year and why Lifetime's Get Married featured her thrice! We were joined by Ms. Talking with Tami as our media guest, I think she had fun, check out her write-up.

Then it was off to the event of the night, courtesy of Art of Facts PR and Myliek where client Sakiri Vodka and Renee Knorr had the opportunity to be dreamy and dapper at the 'Wedding Soiree' held at the beautiful and swanky Ventanas in Downtown Atlanta - breathtaking view of the city!  It was a book signing with authors, celebrity wedding planners Gail & Hester.  It was SO CHIC! Renee was a very gorgeous Bride and her beautiful spirit was the icing on the cake!  Sakiri Vodka was the exclusive Vodka for the evening that had 3 bars - 2 downstairs (one rooftop) and one upstairs.  Myleik, GREAT JOB!

And then there goes that beat!  The fire bell rang n the form of my vibrating Blackberry way too many times and (oh so very loudly)! Then and I was in PR 'damage control' mode and OFF as I dashed from the fab soiree like Cinderella to rescue a client in need.  A. Day. In the Life.....Of....P....R.... Love it!
