| "Logistically Speaking" "Day Of" Wedding Management You've picked a date, secured a venue, ordered your wedding gown, chosen a color palette, and hired all of your vendors. You should be good to go, but it's turning into a jumbled fiasco, and you're starting to unwind... Don't let wedding stress get to you. This is supposed to be fun! Planning the logistics account for a HUGE portion of the wedding process, and requires the most knowledge, experience, and time. It includes careful coordination with all of the vendors, creating a wedding day schedule that works, and scrutinizing every detail ensuring that no stones are unturned. Let's face it ladies, when 200 people stop to tell you that you've never been so beautiful, that's good - really good! When those same 200 people ask you "Where's the restroom", "Where do we put our gifts", "What time is dinner", "Where's the bar", "Did you order my vegan meal", or "Remember, Aunt Doris is lactose intolerant"......Well, not so good... "Logistically Speaking" allows you to be the bride at your wedding. I become the "point person" managing every detail, while you enjoy the perfect day you've worked so hard to create. It's win-win. Here's how Kit will handle the logistics for you: • Review Contracts for All Vendors. • Confirm Vendor Attendance • Create and Manage Detailed Wedding Day Timeline • Develop and Distribute Timelines, Floor Plan, and Maps to All Vendors and Wedding Party • Create Wedding Party’s Schedule of Events • Attend Final Meeting with Ceremony and Reception Sites • Manage, Choreograph and Orchestrate Wedding Rehearsal (when available) • Manage, Choreograph and Orchestrate Wedding Day: Check the ceremony site to ensure proper setup for your event Ensure flowers are delivered to appropriate area and persons Retain the marriage license for officiant Ensure the Best Man/Maid of Honor have rings Coordinate start time, processional/recessional with the officiant Coordinate start time with musicians Choreograph the wedding ceremony Direct guests to the reception area Direct the bridal party and family to the photography area Coordinate the transfer of flowers, security of gifts, signing of guest book, etc. Ensure that reception room is properly set Ensure that all favors, guest book, place cards and other props are placed appropriately Double check table settings Ensure cake table is properly arranged Act as your "Go To" or "Point of Contact" person Work together with maitre d' to ensure timely dining service Cue Bride & Groom for first dance, cake cutting, toasts and bouquet toss Forward any remaining fees and/or gratuities to vendors Arrange for wedding gown transportation, if required Oversee the transportation of gifts and props with designated person(s) |
