So Your Wedding Is In Jeopardy...

With this outbreak sweeping all over each country throughout the world, it’s no why wonder people are on edge. Especially when one of the most important days of your life is on the line.

Heading into the 2nd half of March 2020, I got 2 phone calls within one hour from two future brides that need to re-schedule their wedding - That same month! So I can understand your frustration. When your family and friends were set to fly in, the money you already spent on the venue, vendors and having to postpone something you have been looking forward to for months… even years. So I’m here to try to help make this transition a little easier. Most of this you may already know, but my goal is to help you to see things a little clearer on how to manage through this transition. So what are you going to do now?

Well the first important thing to note is, try not to cancel your wedding/event.

Contact your venue/event planner and see if they may be able to reserve you another date that might be available. If they have other dates available, choose one that is convenient for you (assuming this will be over) and ask them to hold it for you.

Contact your vendors to see if they are available on that date. Assuming one may not be available, you should discuss your refund and try to get your deposit back (if within your contract) in order to book a similar vendor or better yet, ask for a referral. That might save you some time searching for one.

Depending on if you printed any items for your wedding - Try to utilize anything that can be useful for your event. If the printed item has your original wedding date, you might have to take a loss on it.

Check on your family & friends when you call them. Make sure they are safe and staying healthy. Then invite them to the new wedding date and that you hope to see them. Hopefully they can make it to your event.

Assuming your venue is currently open for business and you go through with the event - it’s important to note to practice safe hygiene. In a recent event, no one was allowed to enter the ballroom without first washing their hands. Guests were still able to enjoy their dinner and dancing. Have fun and try to make the best of this.

In stressful times we have to learn to adapt to the situation. I believe this is the best course of action. These are just a few pointers to help you get started to maneuver through these uncertain times. We are here to work with you and still make your wedding day as special as ever.
