Oh, yes...the beats..it's all about the beats. Music is huge! Music sets the mood, it presents the ambiance, it creates the energy of the crowd. Knowing this importance, why would we leave the music to just anyone? We wouldn't! I am so very excited to announce that we will have 2 DJ's popping out tunes at The One. Fuzzy Lounge Sounds and Adam's DJ Service are each unique in their sounds, and so they will be showcasing what they can do on different levels at the event.

Fuzzy Lounge Sounds will be spinning and mixing on the Main Gallery Floor. Nathaniel and Jason are passionate about what they do! They are the complete package- from set up, performance, and break down. They love mixing the perfect soundtrack for your gathering-yes, they have real turntables!! You can watch and listen to some samples of the compilations they serve up at The One..you will love it. If you want a preview, check out their website to hear some samplings. Make sure to chat with one of them at the show and see what they can do at your event!

Adam's DJ Service will be setting the mood for us in the uber swanky Lower Lounge. I know Adam from Wedding Network USA and other industry events. He is always so pleasant and upbeat! Adam's goal is to provide high quality musical entertainment-and you will be able to hear it. Listen as he sets the vibe and uses the music to complete the look and feel of the room.
Adam has a team of people who are all professionally hand selected. His motto is "Leave the music to us, We'll leave the dancing to you!" When you have Adam's DJ Service at your event, you will understand why! He will get your crowd moving, indeed! Come hear, enjoy, and find out more. Visit his table in the Lower Lounge at The One.

What a privilege to announce that we will be having Lorbaniah Cameography at The One again this year! You will not find anyone more passionate about video than Corban Cooper. He owns and manages Lorbaniah with his wife. Corban is excellent at shooting memories, and skillfully weaves the story together on a video that you can enjoy for years and years to come. Wouldn't it be awesome to watch the first time you walked down the aisle, or joy of a celebration, or the look on your face at a surprise party...I could go on and on.... Photos can only capture moments, but video can play back the sound and energy of a room. It is such a great investment.

Corban is going to be at Lorbaniah's table waiting to talk to you and show some samples of what he does. Go check it out...you'll be glad you did!

RSVP to The One today!!

Seattle Sundries is uniquely, handcrafted soaps (and more!) located right in Ballard. I absolutely love my soap-even though I have very little of it now! These soaps are as adorably presented as they are aromatically pleasing. The round soapy goodness is packaged in a cute, reusable tin with adorable ribbon. You can personalize a custom label, which makes for the perfect hostess gift, party favor, or gift in a welcome basket. Go check her website out to see the full breadth of what Seattle Sundries offers, and for sure make way to her table at the showcase...she is going to have plenty of soap on hand to smell and even some to sample!

Another great way to personalize your event with a nice touch is with the bottle that gets passed around the table. What do I speak of? The bubbly, beer, or wine selections you serve, of course! This is the perfect way to celebrate in style-with customized labels. These labels can be specially ordered and put on your beverages as a commemorative token or a thank you for guests. Look for our special custom labels on the bubbly you sip on at The One.

WineStyles Wine and Gift shop is the perfect place to order your custom beverages. They are located just north of here and have a wide array of wines to choose from. Their shop includes gifts too, perfect to treat any special person. Stop by their table and chat with Andrew about how WineStyles can help you at your next event.

If you aren't a wine person and beer is more up your alley, why not do custom labels on a Seattle staple beer from Pike Brewing Company?

Don't Delay...RSVP for The One today to see these amazing professionals in action! You won't want to miss it!
You can find our event page on Facebook too...

Ok, I do consider myself a salt person..but with a line-up like this at The One...I am sure you will see me hovering around all of these tables more than once!

After much raves from last year's show, we have the honor of welcoming back Trophy Cupcakes! Their tiny cakes are un-matched! Serious goodness. You know this of course, from hearing about all the awards they have won in the Seattle area. Jennifer Shea continues to be a smart business woman who is passionate about what she does. It shows in every way-from the taste of the cake and frosting, to the flavors and design of each cake, to the way she tailors her cupcakes to events of all kind! They are so particular to match to your event, and go beyond your expectations...you will see why Trophy is the perfect alternative to a wedding cake. So fun and colorful! Come on by and check them out...taste some of the flavors they will be offering at The One!

If cake is your thing..and you have dreamed about the moment of cut and serve, and face smash then I suggest you stop by Decadence Custom Cakes. I had the opportunity to work with Dan at a wedding last summer. I fell in love with his butter cream frosting..no joke! He has such delicious creations of all flavors and styles...and did you know that he also does gluten free cakes? He is so wonderful to listen and execute to your design and nutritional needs. The final product is a gorgeous custom creation for your guests and especially you! Stop by and chat with Dan from Decadence about how he can create something for you...the longer you chat, the more cake you can sample--bonus!

I am so excited to have Cameron Catering at The One this year! Cameron has such amazing foods, and let me tell you...even more amazing desserts! I have sampled more than I should have... Their website reminds you by saying the first bite is with your eyes, and the first guest is you! So true- the presentation of their foods is positively photo worthy and they absolutely aim to please the customer..you are #1 to them in preparation of the food. They do all sorts of events from weddings, to corporate events, to celebrations of any kind. Stop by Cameron Catering's table located in the Lower Lounge and see the desserts that you could have at your next event..then go for it..taste away!!

I cannot gush enough about the talent that we have secured for this year's The One. It's outstanding to have them all in the same room, ready to chat with you and showcase their abilities!

Of all the things that you can spend your money on for an event, photography is definitely one of those budget areas you should not skimp on. A photographer captures all of the exquisite details of the day, the moments that want to be remembered, and produces the highlights with artistically masterful eyes. We are so fortunate to showcase some amazing photographers, all with different shooting styles, price points, and packages.


I have worked with our event photographer, JKoe Photography, for several weddings. I have never seen someone work so hard for "the perfect shot" in my life! I'm talking..stand on garbage can, lay in the middle of a crowded dancefloor, sprint down the street to capture the perfect get away shot. It's ridiculous..and it's the reason they get hired time and time again. (not to mention the obvious breathtaking photos they produce) It's the reason I have asked them to be our event photographer! Not only will you see their amazing images at the show, but you will most likely see them in action, snapping pics of the entire evening!

Brian David Casey participated last year at The One and we are so happy to have him back. Brian combines the precision of an engineering background with his creative talents to achieve technical and artistic excellence via photography. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and it shows in his photos. Brian's work has been published in several industry publications. Make a point to check out his table and his portfolio. He'll be there to welcome you and share about his packages and love of photography.


Emily with Solace Arts has been one busy lady! After working with All the Flutter on an event, Chesney suggested that we had to have Solace Arts be a part of our showcase. Man, I can see why! Not only does Emily provide amazing photos, but she also has been doing all the design and layout work for our promotions. (Thanks to Jessica with Colvos Creative for our logo) You can find Emily working with several different events for the industry while also managing her own photography business. She does it all with a smile, patience, and a genuine desire to please her client. She provides top notch work with the greatest of integrity. Make sure to say hello to Emily at the Solace Arts table..she'll be waiting with a warm smile.

This year's venue, Urban Light Studios, will have their own photographers on hand to get the crowd going! Did you know that they offer their own photography packages as an add on to the site rental? It is so perfect. They are, after all, a photo studio...and come with professional photographers ready to capture your Urban Light Studio event. Get ready to get your pose on..I'm talkin' PHOTO BOOTH! Oh yes, if ever there was a way to get the party going and the crowd crazy it is a self shooting photo booth. Props, flashes, signs..the whole bit. Make sure to stop in at the Lower Lounge for a photo shoot of your own :)
