USING PROFESSIONALS FOR YOUR WEDDING

I was a little hesitant to write this piece because as a Venue Manager I don’t want to sound biased, but after witnessing some horror situations at weddings and events in general over the years, I realized that it is necessary to inform couples, our potential clients who are planning on having a wedding, birthday party, conventions, banquets etc. etc on the IMPORTANCE OF USING PROFESSIONALS to plan, design, decorate and cater their events.

It amazes me how after people spent months, maybe even years, and thousands of dollars getting ready for their event. Instead of enjoying every second of the day, they will be running around frantically trying to pull it all together. Instead of hiring professional like caterers, planners they rely on their family and friends who have volunteered to help them day-of the event. While this is a nice gesture, it is usually not a good idea and most often with disastrous consequences. I have witness family and friends who promised to prepare food as part of their contribution to a couple, but instead of bringing in the food at the start time of event say5pm, some come at 11pm or 1am hours after dinner was over. Sometimes they don’t even show up with the food because they were too tired from working all day or didn’t have anyone to relieve them from their shift. I have also observed couples who use organizers ( made up of family and friends) to serve food instead of using professional servers. While serving food some organizers skip guests they do not know and serve their friends and family first. Please understand your family and friends are your guests and should not be working on your wedding day. Professionals are educated and knowledgeable in all things wedding related from etiquette, planning to catering and are a huge accessible resource.
