Bethel loves love, and she loves business… a perfect combination for success in the wedding industry.  Her education and experience incorporate both a big and small business background.  After earning her MBA in International Finance, Bethel’s career started in the Wall Street world where she spent over 9 years working for big financial firms, developing and implementing world-wide training programs.   Not feeling that she had found her calling, she moved back to San Diego and spent 6 years helping to run her family’s promotional products business.  While still doing that, it happened… her brother got engaged and asked Bethel to officiate their wedding.  From there, two more weddings as a friend officiant and Bethel was hooked.
