Annie Payton - Lake Las Vegas - Winner for Best Wedding Event
The Baltimore, Anchorage, and Austin Chapters dominated chapter awards in this year’s NACE National Awards. From a straight up, business perspective, the most valuable awards were those earned in the individual industry awards category.
In individual honors, three Las Vegas Chapter members earned five awards, collectively. Perennial winner, Michele Polci, CPCE (Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, NV) is beginning to make her hard work look easy, as she took home two awards this year. The awards, one in Best Table Presentation; the other in Best Event, followed a series of awards in previous years, and last year’s honors as NACE Caterer of the Year.
Newcomer, Annie Payton, Reflection Bay, Lake Las Vegas garnered two awards for one event. The wedding event that she entered won in both the Best Wedding and Best Event categories.
Annie’s rare ‘double-dip’ of two awards, for one event, demonstrates the excellence of that entry. The impact of such recognition on her facility, its ownership, employees, as well as prospects is truly priceless. People want to do business with successful, creative individuals. Nothing says that more effectively than an industry award.
Another rare event was the dead heat tie for Caterer of the Year. For the first time, the award was share by Ed DiAntonio, CPCE (Swan & Dolphin, Orlando, FL) and Cheryl Sgovio, CPCE (Thomas & Mack Center) Las Vegas, NV.
As all the results are published, The Wedding Marketing Blog will post the complete list.
