Last month, I was on the panel for an ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) Dinner at the newly remodeled Sportsman Lodge in Studio City.
Since the subject matter was one of my favorites (venues), I said yes. The evening was produced by Alexandra Rembac, Principal & Creative Director - Sterling Engagements, who is also the Director of Education, ABC-GLA 2010 (Association of Bridal Consultants, Greater Los Angeles)
I had never been to the Sportsman Lodge and I was excited to see this well known venue for the first time. Vibiana's owners purchased it a few years ago and recently completed the renovation. What is so unique about this venue, located in the heart of Studio City, is that it has the LA River running in its backyard. In the early years, guests could fish out of the river, then have the chef prepare their catch for dinner. Many of the guests at that time were A list celebrities. After the 1950's, the city determined that it was not safe to fish out of the river because of seismic activity and stopped allowing guest to fish.
Our dinner was superb! Their Chef (a very nice person) has an impressive culinary background, which includes working for Wolfgang Puck and preparing dinners for the Oscar parties and Governor's Ball.

No one fell asleep - always a good sign when I am on a panel:)
