Welcome To AWEC.org!

Welcome to Austin Wedding & Event Coordinators (AWEC). Thanks for stopping by.

If you're here, you're probably one of three things:

1-A bride looking for a wedding coordinator;

2-A vendor looking for networking opportunities; or

3-A wedding coordinator (or someone who wants to be a wedding coordinator) looking for education and networking opportunities

Well, in all three cases, you've come to the right place. AWEC is an Austin-based non-profit group of event planners who get together on a monthly basis for the purpose of networking and furthering our education and industry knowledge. As our industry - as a whole - expands, so does our membership. We are thrilled with the growth of this organization in the past 10 years and look forward to more growth in the years to come.

So . . . if you're a bride, we encourage you to use our site to help you find a wedding coordinator who is the right fit for you and your wedding. You've already taken the first, most important step - which is hiring an AWEC coordinator. Hiring an AWEC coordinator will give you the peace of mind to know that your coordinator is certified, experienced and has met our strict membership standards/criteria. Please click on the "members" page for a full list of our members and links to their Web sites. Also - please click on the "information for brides" page for a little Q&A.

If you're a vendor looking to get involved with AWEC, please contact our vice president, Jessica Moore (her contact information is on the members page). And stay tuned . . . we will soon be updating our Web site with additional information on how vendors may get more involved with our organization.

If you are interested in the possibility of becoming a wedding coordinator, click on the "Prospective Wedding Coordinators" link for more information about getting started in this business. And beware . . . it's not all fun and games! We deal with stressful situations and high pressure events. We take our jobs, clients and events very seriously.

If you are already in business as a wedding coordinator and are interested in learning more about joining AWEC, please click the "membership" link. That's where you'll see all the information needed to apply for membership. We highly encourage you to contact us for more information and to get a dialog going. Even if you don't quite meet all the criteria yet, we welcome you to come to our meetings to see what we're all about and just how beneficial AWEC membership is. Amy Mader is our Membership Chairperson and she'll be glad to answer any questions you may have.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Denise Silverman
AWEC President, 2009
