Happily Ever After... Starts Here!

We love our clients! We only choose to work with couple's that genuinely seem polite, professional, fun and super cool! To ensure that these polite, professional, fun, super cool couples remain that way, we created our “Bridezilla” Agreement.  Luckily, we have never had to enforce the "Bridezilla” Agreement but sometimes we have to ask: WHY.... DID YOU HIRE A PLANNER???

Depending on the terms in which you have hired your planner, most come to the planning "table" wearing many, many hats.  But most of all, we listen to your wants and needs for the wedding day and provide sound advice and suggestions.  Here's the question again, if you don't want advice and suggestions.... WHY DID YOU HIRE A PLANNER???

Example~ Bride says: "I have a big family that likes to talk and talk. Especially after a few drinks." I don't want to have long speeches at the wedding, but how do I stop them once the mic is open?"

LLE says: "Wow! You are so lucky to have so many family members that care about you but we would suggest not opening the mic up to guests. As a matter of fact, don't! It never ends well! The DJ can specifically announce the two guests making speeches and move right into something else after they are done. It will be that way on the timeline, we will enforce it."

~FAST FORWARD TO WEDDING DAY~
LLE says to DJ: "Hey DJ! Just want to confirm the order of the two speeches given by Best Man and Uncle Jack." Remember 2-3 minutes max. We don't want to bore people!"

DJ says: I can't do that, the bride called last week and said she wants to open the mic up to the guests. She said she doesn't think it will be a problem.

~FAST FORWARD TO THE TOASTS/ SPEECHES~
...Thirty minutes later, (after everyone from drunken Uncle Nelson to the crazy co-worker have tortured us all with long speeches) the food is cold, guests are mortified and the poor kids look as if they are about to eat the napkins...The speeches finally stop!! And here the question goes again...
WHY DID YOU HIRE A PLANNER??

Brides-to-be, you have to establish a trusting relationship with your planner. You have to include your planner in decisions. Ask your planner for suggestions. Find out what they have seen that has worked well in the past. Don't pass messages along via other vendors. Planners are not "Do-Girls or Mind Readers".

We are here to work together with you to create the wedding you want. We all get busy at work and at school.  We all have families, but if you do not communicate, you cannot hold anyone accountable but yourself ~ Communication is KEY!

XOXO!
Love and Celebrations ~ LLE
