I am so happy that I met Miss Marcy Blum. Author, Eventista, and a fixture on the speaker circuit, she has planned plenty of celeb weddings and events worldwide. I always look forward to grabbing a drink (or several) with her when I’m in New York. She is such a fun plus one for industry events and a great sounding board for talking through career questions.  And, I mean, she calls me Scarlett!  Here she answers our Tete-a-Tete questions.
