Ask the Exclusive – “Great Events Don’t Just Happen” – guest posting for HCB Columnist RS Exclusive by Leah Ouimet
The big day has finally arrived; the moment in which a woman gets to walk down the aisle surrounded by close family and friends as the man of her dreams is awestruck with the beauty he gets to soon call his wife. The atmosphere is flawless and every expectation of the bride is fulfilled above and beyond what she dreamed or hoped for. The decor is an exact extension of the bride’s personality, and the music enveloping the air around her brings warmth and serenity to this unforgettable moment in her life.
Wait a minute. Unforgettable weddings don’t just plan themselves. Hours upon additional hours are dedicated to creating and orchestrating the wedding that exceeds a bride’s desires. The wedding planner and specialist of your choice can be the all-in-one stop to any bride’s perfect day.
Let’s take you behind the scenes to what goes on prior to when the bride and groom say, “I do”. An event may go off without a hitch, but that doesn’t come without a commitment to work hard and hammer out any issues in advance. When a bride comes with questions about the services offered, a consultation with a planner is both professional and personal, providing answers to anything a bride may inquire about. An event planner can ensure that your requested colors and theme will be incorporated through flowers, linens, candles, and so much more, and an expert can take care of rentals, which is one more stress off your shoulders. Flowers are purchased as close as possible to the wedding day so freshness and vibrancy is guaranteed. Event coordination and direction is another specialty your wedding planner can handle so you don’t have to worry who will run the dress rehearsal if such a need should arise.
Your wedding specialist can recommend a top of the line caterer who will keep all the guests coming back for more at the reception. Every bride has a preference for the type of music she wants at the wedding … from romantic music to songs that pull you off your seat and onto the dance floor. So, the perfect musician or DJ that fits your style can be scheduled. Do you feel anxious about your first dance, and want it to look effortless? All you have to do is ask your wedding planner to help you choreograph (or find someone who can choreograph) the most creative and captivating dance; entrusting them with that special moment will surely be a decision you won’t regret.
With any wedding comes the unavoidable hindrances that put a glitch into the planning. No delay should impede progress or the professionalism your wedding planner can bring to each and every event. If scheduling is thrown off course, if flowers don’t come in when expected, the rentals don’t live up to the standard set high for every wedding, each and every issue will be addressed immediately. Every bride’s desire is fulfilled will care, and attention to detail is everything. The time leading up to the wedding no longer has to be stressful because all you need to do is let your wedding planner take care of your every need so you can breathe easy.
On a day when you want to just sit back, be the bride, enjoy and soak everything in, I would encourage you to think about leaving the coordinating to someone else. You’ll be glad you did!
