Oh, my. This truly must be the
City of Angels!
For
if there is an Archangel of Tourism, she probably lives in Los Angeles.
LA: A
Meeting Planner's Dream
If Los Angeles is synonymous with the word "Hollywood," then no
other spot in the universe can provide the glamour, the excitement and
the fascination of Movietown, USA. And that's just fine for another
L.A. angel of promotion, Marilyn Jenett, event planner extraordinaire.
"L.A.
is a meeting planner's dream," says the owner of Marilyn Jenett
Locations, who plans receptions and special events in such unique
venues as breath-taking Beverly Hills mansions, museums, film studios,
historic landmarks and private yachts.
"Nowhere
in the world but here in the capital of film and television can
visitors turn fantasy into reality," says Jenett, who's made a living
the past 15 years tossing parties in glamorous settings.
It's
Jenett's job to make convention participants feel they've gotten the
biggest bang for their tourist buck. And Jenett knows just how to
showcase L.A. in a way that will be remembered and talked about like
nowhere else.
"Los
Angeles still has some surprises that can bedazzle the business
traveler who has seen it all," says Jenett, who notes she dined across
from James Garner and Angela Lansbury at a studio lot while hosting a
site inspection. "That was after rubbing elbows with Dustin Hoffman
waiting to be seated, " she laughs.

planner
"For
the tourist, it's just taking a movie studio tour at Universal Studios
Hollywood, Warner Bros. or Paramount to see how the amazing scenes for
blockbuster movies are filmed. Or finding the hand and footprints of
such luminaries as Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe at Mann's Chinese
Theatre..." Jenett says.
Jenett
doesn't claim to be one of L.A.'s guardian angeles, but she wants
everyone to know how special her town is.
"Los
Angeles is the one univeral symbol of our hopes, dreams and fantasies -
and will always prevail," says Jenett. "What might appear as adversity
to others is indeed just another live action adventure in L.A."
"This
is a city abounding with energy, vitality and creativity and the
visitor cannot help but be immersed in the vibrations of drive and
accomplishment that emanate from the city of dreams."
Indeed,
there are angels all over, looking out for their beloved City of Angels.
