Now before you go and say anything, I think we all agree that weddings aren't a "sport" , but let's look at that concept and how it applies to a wedding for a moment: As with any team in any sport, you have a group of individuals who are working together with one common goal, and that is to win the game, right? As we discussed above, I know that your wedding isn't a sport (far from it) but the overall team concept has to apply to your wedding if you want it to be a success. Let me explain. When you think about it, just about any wedding is a production. As with all productions, some are small and some are large. The fact of the matter remains, that regardless of the size, they require a concerted effort behind the scenes in order for the finished product to turn out the way that you envision it. |
Your wedding is no different. Choosing your location, and hiring your team of service providers is just the first step (of many). As you put your team together, many couples choose to first hire a professional wedding consultant. (a move that I highly recommend!) One of our local talented consultants is Ronni Johnston, from Perfect Touch Custom Weddings. She can help you with literally every detail of your wedding planning, including choosing a great team of service providers.It can seem like a laborious project just selecting your event professionals, and having a consultant is a great way to remove a lot of the stress from your wedding planning before you ever really get started.
From planning the decor, the room layout, choosing your colors, invitations, putting your guest list together, the list goes on and on and on.... It can and will overwhelm you if you let it. That is why having a team of qualified, talented event professionals to work with as you put your wedding together will certainly prove to be invaluable to you in the long run.
But...(there's always a "but" right?) What happens if you hire all of your service providers, but prior to the day of your wedding, there was no communication (or practice if you will) between your team of service providers leading up to the day of the wedding? What you will wind up with is each service provider will have their own agenda for your wedding, and I'd be willing to bet that they will all be different!
In closing, not only is it invaluable to you to make sure that you hire great service providers, it is just as important (if not more so) to make sure that they work well together as a team. As with any team, their goal being to make sure on your behalf that you get YOUR ideal wedding celebration!
