I met Cathy and her daughter, Morgan this past May. They were looking for a day of coordinator to assist with Morgan's wedding. I am pleased to feature a few photos of the day and my time spent.

Day of Breakdown
My time at the church was spent ensuring neither the Bride or the Groom saw one another, the wedding party lined up, and most importantly starting the wedding on time...which from what I was told by the Mother of the Bride was quite a feat in itself.
Once the ceremony began, I loaded up the remaining flowers and containers into my vehicle and headed to CityView to see how the reception setup was going. Elite Entertainment came in the day before to set up the tables, chairs, and linens. The bride and her mom set up the centerpieces previously. While the ceremony and photos continued, I finished setting up the personal details and ensured things looked beautiful. I did re-arrange one table fully due to the centerpieces being off from what the bride's mother expressed to me. High, low alternating was an important feature of the room and the centerpieces. The rest of my time was spent escorting family and friends to their tables, working w/ the DJ to ensure everyone was seated by the time the WP arrived, and ensuring nothing but smiles were to be had.
