The lovely new Hilton Garden Inn, located in downtown historic Richmond, will be the venue for this amazing event held Sunday, June 28, 2009 from 1:30PM to 4:00PM. While showcasing this beautiful venue, our special guest speakers will inform you with tips on ways to make your celebration a day to remember.
