So I took a huge leap of faith, put my trust in God and the gifts that he has given me, and Boom! The birth of Sweet Miss V's. Started the business from my home with birthday cakes for people I knew, eventually, those people told these people and now here I am 8 years later rocking the wedding cakes and custom dessert bars. Yes! I make pretty cakes, but more importantly, I make delicious cakes for people who appreciate FLAVOR! I am a fat kid at heart after all.

Tip Top Cocktails

https://tiptopcocktails.com/

Hospitality Sponsor Tip Top offers prepared classic cocktails that hit on all the notes of traditional recipes, allowing modern drinkers a balanced beverage whenever and wherever. We believe good stuff should be accessible. In our previous lives, we were music industry veterans behind some of the largest festivals in the country. Along the way, we saw the demand for quality cocktails growing, but the careful preparation required to make one made service in high-volume environments was pretty difficult. We fantasized about creating a world-class cocktail in an easy-to-serve vessel, thinking maybe we could help solve a problem for venues, events, restaurants, bars, airplanes, and regular folks at home on the couch. Eventually, we stopped fantasizing and started actually doing it. Enlisting the help of our favorite bartender and James Beard finalist, Miles Macquarrie of Kimball House, we developed classic cocktail recipes and packaged them up to drink at any time and, just about, any place. Tip Top Proper Cocktails are always within reach, especially if a trusted bartender or fully-stocked bar is not.

Along came Shannon Tarrant, a veteran of the Orlando wedding industry who saw the potential to help engaged couples by making the map sortable online. And that’s how Wedding Venue Map.com was born!

Sterling Caviar

https://sterlingcaviar.com/

Emerald Corporate Donor Our mission is to produce the finest sustainable California farmed white sturgeon and caviar roe in an environmentally responsible manner that respects the species, the environment, our communities, staff, and customers. We want our chefs to have a product that supports the current culture of transparency that consumers demand, and would be delighted to support you as a partner. We contribute to research to grow the wild population of California’s sturgeon- they are one of only two populations globally, listed as “of least concern”. Transparency in labeling is a top priority for us, and year-round supply keeps menus and retail consistent. The conversation on sustainability in food continues to grow, so this sturgeon is a perfect offering for those concerned. As supply on comparable fish is uncertain, sturgeon is a valued offering as it can be used in a variety of recipes and plating methods. Sterling Caviar has a very strong reputation and support in the culinary community. We seek to offer education, marketing, and quality products.
