What could go wrong?

It’s hard to imagine that your ‘perfect’ day could ever have any glitches in it…we know! When it comes to weddings and wedding planning, many of us have a romanticized view of how things are going to go down, and we NEVER believe that anything could ever go wrong.

WRONG!

Weddings are full of details, and even well orchestrated weddings run into trouble.

The ceremony is carefully timed, one missed cue and someone might not get down the aisle while the music is still playing. And who decides when the music starts playing in the first place? At one wedding the officiant was so time conscious that he was leading the bridal party to the aisle not noticing the absence of the Father of the Bride!

Did you even think that one of your vendors, like your D.J., might not show up? It has happened! Even vendors with the very best reputations and referrals are still human and make mistakes.

These are just some of the benefits of using a qualified and certified Wedding Planner.  Your Planner is there to put out the fires, fix the mistakes and make sure everything runs on time and in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Leave the details to the professionals so that you, your families and friends can sit back and enjoy the beauty of your special and long awaited ‘perfect’ day.

Vendor Care

When planning your wedding, it is extremely important to pick ALL of your vendors with great care!  It’s a lesson a lot of us have learned the hard way.  With options like Kijiji, Caig’s List, Groupon, etc., it is  great temptation to find vendors that will provide the services you desire at a cheap rate.  While it seems like a great idea to use these discounted vendors, you HAVE to do serious research into their credentials and abilities long before you sign on any dotted lines!

Let me give you a pretty clear example.

A Bride and Groom hired us to provide a candy buffet for their wedding.  The Bride had the thought that candy apples would be a perfect addition to the table, we agreed.  We immediately went on the hunt for an economical but reliable candy apple maker.  Using Kijiji, we found, what we thought, was a perfect choice.

The request was white chocolate apples with fuscia drizzle.

Our vision (ish):

                     

What was delivered:

These apples were far from acceptable, and far from what we expected! They were ordered from a seemingly knowledgeable candy maker who has done candy apple favours for many weddings with great success. (Something we now question.)

While a picture is worth a thousand words, remember vendors are not going to post pictures of their failures with their ad! Insist on seeing* a sample of what you're purchasing BEFORE purchasing!!!     *Seeing - with your own eyes - not a picture!

How we fixed our problem:

Fortunately we were able to get last minute help from The Fudge Factory in the heart of tourism central in Niagara Falls. They happily and quickly made apples for us that were fantastic and picture perfect!

A serious lesson was learned this day…one we need to pass on to all our Brides, Grooms and fellow wedding vendors… know who you hire and if you want to take a chance with someone new…MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACK UP!!!

Many, many, thanks to The Fudge Factory for their incredible customer service! (And for saving our reputation!)
