Last week, a group of talented Wagner College students who are currently enrolled in my Signature Wedding and Event Design course visited me and my team at our New York City offices. I’m so inspired by other wedding and event designers, but especially those that are young and just starting out. Their perspective is fresh, and their enthusiasm is contagious. The students I met last week were no exception. It was a such a pleasure to chat with them and hear their plans and ideas. Before they left, I gave them a tour of our space so they could see where and how all the action happens. Maybe you’d like to take a look, too? Here are a few photos from our afternoon together, which were taken by the lovely Natalie Licini, a wonderful wedding photographer and Wagner alumna. Enjoy! And thank you to all of my Wagner College students and their professor, Marissa Mortimer, the talented event planner behind Lavish Occasions.
We took a group shot, and, I must say, we’re a pretty good looking group!
Here I am holding court… they were all very patient with me!
Here are some of the students listening to one of my stories. I told you they were patient.
A behind the scenes shot… this is where all the hard work happens.
Up close and personal with one of our designs.

Dear Mr. Bailey,
You have been a huge inspiration to me and I follow your blog regularly. I was hoping you could tell me how/where you obtained your desk that is pictured in this posting, I absolutely love it! The flowers under the desk glass are so pretty, I would love to integrate this in my wedding consultation office. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
