Dear Wedding Church Coordinator, I want to introduce myself. I’m a professional event/wedding planner. I am a professional in the fact that this is my full-time job, assisting clients with their weddings. It feeds my family and keeps my lights on. This isn’t a whimsical hobby, so I take my responsibilities and my clients’ happiness […]

Recently I received a very nice email inviting me to videotape my “aha moment”! Mutual of Omaha is the official sponsor of the aha moment tour. They are going from city to city in a huge nerd, silver trailer and allowing anyone to come and videotape their “moment”. It could be anything!!! A few will
A little boy was in a relative’s wedding. As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd. While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle.

It takes guts to cancel your wedding. I just talked to a client of ours informed me that they won’t be getting married. While I am sad to lose her as a client, I have to commend her for having the sheer guts it takes to end the relationship. I know, this isn’t an upbeat

1. Believe it or not, everything will get done before the wedding. You just have to sit down and write a list with deadlines.
2. Prioritize the task list. A=most important B=needs to be done C=if we have time to get to it. And no, not EVERY THING on the task list is an A task.
3. Stick to the deadlines you set yourself but don’t go overboard. Getting sleep is much more important than tying 300 ribbons on wedding programs.
4. If you are like me, you will wake up at 2am with your brain racing with a million things to do. Keep a pad of paper and pen by your bed to jot them down. Or…just get up and write them out and then you can go back to bed with a clear mind. (I have to do that second option because my hubbie isn’t a fan of me turning on the light in the middle of the night…and I don’t write well in the dark).
5. Delgate. For Pete’s sake, delegate!!! If you are a Type A personality and want to take on the entire wedding yourself, I understand. But don’t. If you can’t let go there has to be some little task that you can delegate to someone else. Pick the big and most important projects to manage directly.

Case in point: this weekend we have Amanda Monarch and Brian Woods wedding at Cambridge Golf Course. The ceremony is going to take place outside at the fountain. It’s going to be beautiful, but if you are reading this on Friday, you know they are calling for rain. Amanda is totally cool and laid back with the gamble of having it outside with no tent (the back up plan to move the guests to the reception for the ceremony). She’s a risk taker.

Reasons why you should love your wedding planner?
1. They have a “game face” that is almost invincible. You’ll never see them sweat.
2. They mediate between the other vendors when problems arise (so you don’t have to). And they arise. Frequently.
3. Planners are your buffer to problems that you don’t want to deal with (especially on your wedding day), they shield you.
4. Your planner will look out for your best interest even when it comes to dealing with your family.
5. It is physically demanding work, a 3 day wedding weekend can mean 22-33 hours on their feet. Still, service is done with a smile.
