Weddings With Wow

And the winner is…Detail + Design for this years Weddings With WoW tablescape design! Thank you again to all who participated in this years event; Eventfull Planning, Todd by Thomas, State Museum, JW Marriott, Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station & Detail + Design. This year we did a twist on the old and asked that each of the tablescape designers design a table around a 'secret' client. They would be judged and the winning table would receive a free luncheon. The 'secret' client and judge for the event was none other than our keynote speaker, Frank J. Andonoplas. He was quoted as saying 'It was in the details' that helped make his decision.



Over 80 industry professionals attended this years event and enjoyed Frank's speech about how he got started in the business. The Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station served a custom meal tailored to the 'secret' client and didn't leave any detail untouched. Cambrie Anderson Photography captured many of the event moments, while A Classic Party Rental offered there services to each designer to help make it a perfect event! Thank you again to all our sponsors and tablescape designers, without you we could never have done it!

Meet the Board

Tonya Shadoan
Director at Large
Circle City Planners

Growing up in a small town, Tonya J. Shadoan knew there was more in her direct future when she moved to Indianapolis in ‘91. Obtaining a masters degree in education and theatre was just the first chapter in her life as she conducted Broadway productions for a local high school. Later as her passion grew stronger, she took the leap to open her business Circle City Planners. Today Tonya has found her true calling in life by teaching wedding professionals locally and internationally how to grow their business foundation.

Almost 9 years in the wedding business gave Tonya the hands on training she needed to launch several divisions of her thriving company in 2009. It became natural for her to take her signature and create a coaching program for professionals across the nation.

Tonya J. Shadoan is found as the “wedding expert” on a local and international level in her field. She just recently was asked to speak at the national conference for the Association of Bridal Consultants. She is an Accredited Bridal Consultant, a distinguished member of the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) and a board member of International Special Event Society (ISES) where her company won a NATIONAL EPRIT AWARD for BEST TEAM EFFORT 09 and BEST CREATIVE LOGISTICS 08. Her company has been voted 3 years in a row “Best Wedding Planner” in Indianapolis by the community and can be seen in the media locally and nationally.

Tonya is dedicated to the wedding industry and education, but more importantly she is dedicated to the community and her passion of the wedding industry.
