One of the world’s great party planners, Marcy Blum, started as one of the first women chefs at the Culinary Institute of America in the 1970s.  She created the niche of the "wedding planner" and is now an icon in an industry she helped invent.   Funny and vivacious, Marcy was recently featured in the New York Times and shares her inspiring story with author and chef (and long-time friend) Rozanne Gold.  She is the author of the best-selling "Weddings for Dummies" and continues to create high-profile events around the world.
