Music in My Ear

Posted Thursday, March 29, 2007 7:29 AM

When we first chose our venue, we were a little worried about the coordinator that came with our package -- namely, the coordinator would be a student from the university where we'll be having our wedding.  However, after having dealt with the group of student coordinators for a few times, my confidence for the coordinators have definitely been raised.

 Yesterday, I called the event office of my venue with a few of my concerns / questions for the day of the wedding.  I learned that:

a) they no longer put that (ugly) tulle over the string lights on the bridge (yay!);

b) they will assign a staff member to guard my gifts to address my concern over theft;

c) they will decorate the cake table -- a.k.a. one less thing for me to think about; and

d) they will put together my centerpieces for me at no extra charge!

Note that they are also arranging my place cards, favors, and just about everything a day of coordinator would do.  At the end of the call, the lady said, "we'll take as much of the load off of you as possible because we know you'll be busy on that day."  O, how I love thee!
