A Dazzling Day...Weddings by Darcie WEDDING PLANNER

full service. Approx 50hrs. For 47 guests at a high end, fill service country club. I started one year ago prior to wedding date. Almost 10 mos of planning. I helped you choose your wedding dress. Not a service planners typically include. I attended all vendor meetings. I met with your harpist. I met with you for florals. I met with DJ. Along with recommendations for Photographer and a few preferred bakers. Additionally you also hired live bird handlers and a harpist and wanted a very long list of photography on the wedding day. *NOT recommended by both myself and photographer along with venue coordinator. You chose the vendors based on a budget, style and preference. I make recommendations based on professionals and experience. NOT always price. Working with you took a lot of additional questions and time, I received over #500 emails. I received almost daily texts with ongoing questions. I answered them always in a very timely manner. I met with the you on Sundays, when most wedding businesses do not make themselves available. You knew this. Even on holidays you requested meetings. Your questions and details were all taken inconsideration to the timing of the event and the venue and the professionals recommendations. I explained in our detail meeting 2 weeks out, I would NOT be at the retreat while you were dressing. I checked in on you and that your flowers were delivered. I drove Nathan to his retreat room. There was venue staff support for you both at the retreat. What I did at the property below. I received your wedding vendors. Florist, Dj, live bird handlers, harpist, officiant, placed needed tables, signs and so on to make sure the ceremony was ready for you and help to keep guest below ceremony property during practice. Move to day of wedding. I was On site 8:00 am. Ceremony Start at 10:am. DELAYED Practice of live birds. DELAYED Ceremony start. DELAYED Photos of couple DELAYED entrance into the reception room due to another photo delay. Owl Photos with couple. Over 1 + hours delayed During this time the venue coordinator, dj, the photographer and myself tried to get back on track. Photos were a focus while your guests were left waiting. The club planner was the lead and I was the couples planner. Club coordinator and I talked during the whole event on what was the best way to catch up, serve, toasts and couples first dance all within the guidelines of what was planned. The other vendors were all off schedule too due to the delayed time of events. 20 minutes for 1 toast also delayed the plan. Amanda and Nathan met and chose their lunch menu and food service. Tough Tri Tip, was due to over an hour delay due to owl photos. INITIATIVE ??? TRI TIP doesn’t need a steak knife! Never in 25 years would I recommend the venue to serve a steak knife for tri tip. And if the chef saw fit, they would have placed it on the table. I did get up and make sure you had been served. You were eating your salads. Some how you didn’t get served entrees? Instead of getting up and letting me know, or asking a server, or the lead coordinator in the dining room. You sat there?? I couldn’t correct something I wasn't made aware of. ATTIRE. IT was a hot OCTOBER morning, a semi formal wedding. I worked and ran up and down the hill site. I could not of worn a dress and heels. Yes, I didn’t wear what other guests were wearing. Regarding a debriefing of your wedding with in 12 hours of getting married to complain about tough tri-tip. I didn’t have the appointment time available the next day This is not a threatening reply as You AMANDA said. It’s a reply with facts and events that you have no idea of what happened. You chose to blame me, belittled me in my home and sit me next to a grossly rude guest. Congratulations and may you find peace + happiness in 2023
