letter from Gretchen
There’s a light at the end of every tunnel, KEEP MOVING.
It’s the light at the end of the tunnel. More importantly, it’s a light that represents all of your hard work and efforts this season. I can’t think of a better time to share with you how excited I am about our Artist Appreciation Party for 2015! We’ve got a wonderful event planned for you. There will be food, drinks, and activities. But most importantly, we will be presenting our 2015 Bellagala Artist Awards. If there is a fellow artist that you would like to nominate or recognize, please submit their name and an explanation on why they should win to Erin Porter via email at erin.porter@bellagala.com.
“PICKED BY THE TEAM” CATEGORIES: Teammate of the Year Award Favorite 2nd Shooter / Assistant of the Year Award (applies to Photographers, Videographers, and Event Planners) Above and Beyond the Call of Duty Award
Please take a minute to acknowledge a fellow Bellagala artist/teammate and we’ll announce the winners at the party, along with some other great (and well deserved) awards for the 2015 season.
Gretchen Gosnell Director of Operations

BR E N T F | ST U D IO D ISC JO C KEY “Brent was very professional and easy to work with. From our initial meeting to our wedding day he kept us on track and stress free! The dance floor was packed all night, we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ.”
DA N F | ASSO C IAT E VID EO G RAPHER “I am so thrilled that we picked Dan as our videographer! Dan was punctual, enthusiastic, pleasant and overall just really easy to work with! Both before and after the wedding Dan was very prompt in responding to questions we had. I am so excited to see what Dan has put together because we received positive feedback from our guests that they observed him capturing all moments and were very impressed with the work he was doing!”

C HR I S N | ASSO C IAT E D ISC JO C KEY “Chris was very professional which made me excited because I could tell he truly enjoyed what he does and wanted to make our reception exactly what we wanted it to be. He catered to our tastes but also put forth his experience to deliver a great night of music. He took requests, which we liked, and kept people dancing to their favorite songs. By the end of the night, multiple people were informing me on Chris’ great job with one person stating stating, ‘He was the best wedding DJ I’ve heard.’”
AN N E W | ST U D IO EVENT PLANNER “Anne is innovative, wonderful at multi-tasking, delegating with purpose and very resourceful. She really allowed us to enjoy the journey leading up to our wedding day. The quality we loved most about Anne was how she showed us creative ideas that fit within our vision and budget.”
