Why did I begin this career?

The Full Story

Because I wish I would have been able to find someone to do this for me on my wedding day. I honestly didn’t know this existed. I knew I could have hired a wedding planner, but I knew that wasn’t for me. Financially there was NO WAY we could make it work. But mostly because I had been planning my wedding since I was 5 years old (really!). So I didn’t need help with the planning. I needed help the day of. Yes I had family and friends I could have asked. I did for little things, but it killed me to do so. I wanted everyone else to have the best day. I didn’t want to ask for help. I was so worried about everyone else. I forgot this day was about me and my husband and not everyone else.

There is regret there. Don’t get me wrong, it was the most wonderful day of my life. But I didn’t get to enjoy all the moments that I should have.

I was the last person to leave the church (besides my mom, bless her heart). I was busy making sure all the decorations were being taken down, put into a box and that someone was putting them in a vehicle. I was answering to a million people who were trying their best to help me as I was frantically trying to get out so I could meet the bridal party at the bar to continue photos and have a  drink. By the time we got there we had time to chug one drink snap some fun photos before we had to finish bridal party photos.

Once we got the reception everything was great. My wonderful cousin from California had set up our dessert bar, I cannot thank her enough. It was beautiful! That was one of the things I was most worried about because the desserts were being delivered at 2:30 right during the ceremony, so there was no way I could get there to set up the desserts before guests would be arriving for cocktail hour. Again, something I shouldn’t of have been thinking about/worrying about on my wedding day. But I did. It pained me to ask her to do that when she had just flown miles to celebrate my wedding and I put her to work. She was more than happy to help but you know, that guilt was hard to overcome.


Now moving on to the end of the night. After I had let myself have the best time, I did not leave that dance floor. That was my time to relax and enjoy. (sorry to all the guests I didn’t talk to, this girl was enjoying HER day!) It was time to clean the tables, our venue staff did help, but mostly just threw everything into a corner. I was able to talk our venue coordinator (during one of our “many” meetings) into letting me come the next morning to get everything. Something they don’t normally allow, but she probably heard the panic in my voice. (she also let us come in Friday and set up as much as we could, something that would not have been possible if there was a wedding that night, lucked out there, don’t know how I would have pulled off that on my wedding day morning) I was so thankful, but mind you, I had to get everything before noon. So there went our relaxing morning as newlyweds. We had to get up, pack up our hotel room. Run to the venue, load up cars full of stuff and bring it home. Then we had to track down all of our wonderful friends who had taken things from the church, so after hours of traveling back and forth around town. It was time to grab some food and “quickly” open gifts with our family. What a world win that day was. A day I should have used to be with my husband, relaxing and talking about the best day of our lives.

We sure did earn that Honeymoon!

I share this VERY long story so you get the idea on how helpful it would have been to have someone there that wanted to help, who knew how to help. Use my story as reminder that your wedding day is your day. A day to enjoy EVERY SINGLE MOMENT. If I would have hired a Coordinator I could have. But I didn’t, because I didn’t know it existed. It was still the most magical day of my life, I married my true love and it doesn’t get much better then that.

Now its your turn to have your dream day. But let me help! Let me take on all the stressors. Let me help make it the best day of your life. I will be your best friend through the whole process. Anything you need help with, ask! Id be more than happy to give advice, go to vendors with you, give feedback, recommendations, you name it. If I can help, I will! For the day of, all you need to do is show up as the beautiful bride and marry your soulmate, its that easy.

LETS DO THIS!
