Planning A Wedding ...

One of my objective of having a wedding website is to share how Allen and I plan and prepare for our big day. Eventually, I want this site to come in handy for existing and future clients of my events coordination business. (Can't wait to be a full time event planner again...)

Yes, I am a wedding coordinator, a planner, an event specialist by heart.  It is my passion to do all the nitty-gritty details that come with conceptualizing, designing, and coordinating an event, most specially social events. I really love doing it specially for others... but now planning and preparing for my own wedding is really different, different in positive ways - for little by little I am having more fun doing it for me and Allen.... though I know more friends and family are expecting too much that our wedding day will be a perfect wedding, for they know that coordinating and planning a wedding is just a piece of cake for me. 

But I usually say this to our clients there will be no perfect wedding unless they enjoy their big day... of course unavoidable circumstances may come but if you'll get affected on it, for sure your big day will not become a happy day .... 

A professional coordinators will always do their best and find ways to avoid these circumstances, but of course there will be situations that may happen beyond their control... and sometimes these situation happens whenever bride and groom do not listen and trust their coordinator.  Just to mention one good example, one of the task of a coordinator is to conduct "time check" and monitor if "certain activity is still on time e.g. pictorial"..... some couple ignore this whenever a coordinator keeps on reminding them that time is up... of course a professional coordinator would love to maximize all your event suppliers but if you don't follow them expect that it will have an effect ..... like reception program will be delayed, guests might get bored of waiting and eventually they might leave the program early.  


Oh well, I am hoping that Allen and I might not encounter these situations ... we are hoping to have a good working relationship to whomever wedding coordinator we will hire on our wedding day.  ----- Yes Allen and I decided not to have OEtAl resources (event assistant and business partners) to work on our wedding day, for we want them to be part of our big day as guests and friends.

For now, Allen and I promise to enjoy each wedding preparation.  For we both believe that planning and preparing a wedding is supposed to be a joyful experience and not a painful process of "Do This" and "Do That".
