When to Hire a Wedding Planner

4:47 PM

To hire a wedding planner or not? That is the question on many bride and groom's minds as they prepare for the big day. Many people think hiring a planner is an unnecessary cost. While in some cases you may not need the extra help, but in many it is vital. Here are some situations where we know a wedding planner is a must;


Getting Married at a Private Residence
Nothing is more intimate or personal than getting married at a private home. Whether it is yours or a relative's, a planner is key for many reasons. First; we've done this hundreds of times and know exactly what you need to do to prepare the space. Do you have electric available? Do you need to rent a bathroom trailer? Did you spray for insects? Having planned events in private residences we can guide you on how to perfectly prepare for a large event. In addition, the last thing you want to do the day of your wedding is make sure the DJ arrives. Let your planner check in every vendor and put out any fire that may arise while you calmly get ready for your big day!


Getting Married at an Nontraditional Location
Getting married at a nontraditional location is such a memorable event for you and your guests. Campground, Christmas Tree Farm, Vineyard? We've done them all and know the permits, timing, hidden costs and where to save in order to hold your wedding at a location other than a catering hall.


Large Wedding Party
There's nothing like being surrounded by all your loved ones and friends on your special day. But sometimes a large wedding party can lead to a large headache! Organizing more than 8 bridesmaids and groomsmen can be stressful. Add a very emotionally involved family and you can find yourself stressed for months before the wedding. A wedding planner will diffuse any tension by organizing logistics and timeline for you.


Lots of Little Details
Details make a wedding YOUR day. They add the personal touch that guests remember. That being said, sometimes a lot of details can be tough to execute all on your own. Many venues offer to place menus, favors, etc. but when it comes down to your entire vision only a wedding planner will make certain everything is exactly the way you want it.


Nerves
Who isn't nervous for your wedding day. Months of planning for a five hour event can make even the most serene person crazy! But if the idea of planning a wedding gives you a panic attack instead of butterflies then a wedding planner is a must. You will have a hand to hold with every step of the process and someone to help organize all the details that keep you up at night so you actually enjoy your engagement and the wedding!

If you are getting married and looking for a planner then contact us today! Our social division, Weddings by Event Kings, will make sure everything is perfect for your big day.

Employee Spotlight: Christine Dirr

Besides providing you with the advantage of more than two decades of event planning expertise and access to the best venues and vendors, Event Kings is the flagship of a family of divisions that are exclusively dedicated to turning dreams into reality.

On your wedding day this task is especially important and fortunately for you, we’ve got an ace in our pocket. Christine Dirr is a full-time wedding coordinator for Weddings by Event Kings and holds a degree in Public Relations and Event Management from St. John’s University.
  
As the Director of Weddings and Social Events, Christine is available for custom event coordination during the planning phases and on that special day to ensure a seamless transition.

According to Christine, the favorite part of her job is seeing the satisfaction on her client’s face when they see their reception room for the first time. “Even though it is the same type of event, each room is unique to the client and I really love seeing how happy they are with the final product.”

One of the ways that Christine feels that her services are beneficial to any bride is that “The staff and myself make sure that everyone is where they need to be at all times, and even if an issue arises, it never makes it to the client and is taken care of before they even know it.” That way, when you look back on your wedding, you just remember that it was perfect.

Finally, there are certain advantages that brides who choose coordination enjoy. “A really big advantage that my clients get when they book any type of event coordination with Weddings by Event Kings is the personalized attention they I am able to give them. I cater to all of their needs at every phase, leading up to the event. I am with them on their big day. I do everything I can to make sure they feel special on the most important day of their life”.

One thing to consider when deciding if including a coordinator is necessary for you, is to try and think about what might happen if there were a problem on your wedding day. Coordinators with Christine’s experience are able to take would-be negative situations and turn them into beautiful memories, for instance “I had a client that had an issue come up with the venue that she booked with. As it were the case, the venue double booked and had to offer alternate accommodations that were not originally planned. Instead of having the bride deal with the issue, we were able to take care of everything and work with the venue to make sure that everything was resolved and that the reception still fit the vision and plan that the bride and I had established during our coordination sessions. The bride was extremely happy that everything was taken care of and that she didn’t have to deal any potentially catastrophic circumstances.”

Situations such as these just reinforce how important it is to have a professional there to advocate for you while you are busy having the best day of your life. Let Christine Dirr and Weddings by Event Kings be by your side as you turn the page to start the next chapter in your beautiful life.

Cheers to La Bella Vita!

Wedding Trend Of The Week

Photo Booth Madness!

Event Kings

631.392.1234

Every Bride strives to make her wedding different and unique. There are so many ways to customize the normal wedding traditions to make it your own. Favors are a perfect example. The standard wedding favor ranges from Candy and Mints to little bottles of wine, all of which are consumed that night or soon after and will be forgotten with their last bite. What if you could give a favor that lasts forever?

The latest trend in weddings has been Photo Booths. It is something fun for guests to use throughout the wedding night, and then they get to take home the photo strips! We also suggest getting a small customized frame for your guests to put their photos in.


Event Kings has one of the most unique photo booths in NY. It is inner lit with LEDs and can be lit a range of colors. We also take the time to customize the design on the photo strip with a logo, monogram or date. The photo booth comes with an array of props, or we can incorporate any props that you bring for the night.

Event Kings also like to make to make the night special by adding on a scrapbook for guests to put their photo strip in and write a well wish to the newlyweds!

Wedding Tip Of The Week

#Hashtag It!

Event Kings

631.392.1234 

 

With the amount of smart phone at weddings, everyone is bound to take pictures of the bride and groom that day. But how can the couple get their hands on all of those pictures?   

 

One of the most common places that pictures are posted to is Instagram, where everyone can see them. Posting to Instagram is an easy and convenient place to have them, but searching for all of those pictures can be a pain. Creating a hashtag for guests to use will put all of your pictures in one place for you to find after the wedding.


Your wedding hashtag can become a fun part of the wedding, and can even be incorporated into your décor!
