A Cozy and Inspiring Evening with Turnkey Women: A Memorable Networking Event
Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a wonderful networking event hosted by Turnkey Women, a vibrant and inspiring community of women entrepreneurs and business owners. The event, held at a beautiful Ekatarina Vachino photography studio in Wall, New Jersey. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of energy—despite the frigid temperatures outside!
As I stepped into the studio, the chill of the New Jersey winter seemed to melt away. The cozy, intimate space was the perfect setting for a night of connection, collaboration, and creativity. The lighting was soft, the space filled with chatter, and everyone was eager to mingle, share ideas, and build lasting relationships.
It was so wonderful to reconnect with women I’ve met before, as well as meet new faces. The room was filled with inspiring, like-minded women, each sharing their unique journey. I was especially grateful to have the chance to catch up with the amazing founders of Turnkey Women, Shannon and Stacy, who always create such beautiful events that foster genuine connections and collaboration. Their dedication to supporting women in business is truly inspiring.
One of the highlights of the evening was the branding headshot sessions available to all attendees. It’s not every day that you get the chance to update your professional image with a personalized photo shoot, and it was such a great opportunity to refresh our online presence while supporting each other in our respective businesses. The energy in the room was electric as women lined up to capture their best shots, knowing that these images would be a lasting testament to their entrepreneurial journey.
The evening was also enhanced by champagne and light bites, adding a touch of elegance to the already inspiring gathering. It was the perfect combination of business and pleasure—an opportunity to bond over shared experiences while sipping bubbly and enjoying delicious snacks. The warmth of the connections was palpable, and it was clear that the true value of the evening lay in the relationships we were building, not just the professional images we were capturing.
The event was sponsored by Kate, the brilliant founder of Monmouth Moms.
I walked away from the event feeling energized, inspired, and grateful to be a part of such an incredible community of women. Events like these remind me of the power of collaboration, the importance of supporting one another, and the incredible strength that comes from being surrounded by like-minded individuals.
A huge thank you to Kate, Shannon, Stacy, and the entire Turnkey Women team for organizing such a beautiful event. I look forward to staying connected with the wonderful women I met that evening and continuing to support each other’s businesses and journeys.
If you’re a fellow entrepreneur looking for inspiration, I highly recommend joining the Turnkey Women community. You never know what exciting collaborations or connections could be just around the corner!
Until next time,
