Juanita's Enchanted Event Planning

The reception venue is “paid in full”; you’ve contacted the florist after hours of search. The decoration is in the venue package, the colors are perfect. Thanks to good friends you now have a wonderful DJ and the string music group is fantastic. However the chief and menu offered was not exactly as you wanted and though usually not allowed the venue allowed you to choose a catering company.

Wow everything is going GREAT. Being excited with your accomplishments and following a schedule of contacting each vendor monthly it was no way an error could happen.

The receptionist at the venue called to report an error had occurred, the venue had double booked without knowledge on your wedding day for the same time of day and hours. An apology was given and an offer to change your date. How can you change your date, invitations are out, all arrangements with vendors are paid, who and how could this happen?

Your response was no, as anxiety increased inducing a migraine. The thought of locating a venue and contacting each guest within 10 days is elevating your heart rate. Your decision is get a refund, gather friends and anyone you are acquainted with to assist in a resolution. No, was the reply of the venue, no refund it is in the contract after 30 days no refund you can however change the date. You read the contract hurriedly and not its entirety prior to signing.

 A wedding planner reviews all vendor contracts, edit as need to protect the bride. At the stage in your planning hire a wedding planner. The planner will work diligently with you in locating a venue within 10 days to your satisfaction, contact your guests and decrease the tension and migraine but you must let the planner know what has occurred and specifically the assistance you require.

 For all DIY brides slow down on your reading of contracts, hire a wedding planner. You may only require assistance in one or maybe two areas this is your decision, unfortunates can and do occur.

I want you to enjoy your wedding, your reception, your day, it is all about YOU.

 Enchanted Love,
