Claveria-Angeles Wedding

This wedding had my professional skills tested. Aside from the couple, I was also talking with the mother of the groom for some details of the event. Most needs of the couple was taken care of the mother of the groom which of course, is a great help for them.

The wedding occurred at Christ the King Parish and reception followed just across it. It was always been my choice to assign one of my coordinators to do his job at the reception- to coordinate with all the suppliers needed for the venue. My attention was called the time when the church ceremony was nearing its end. They told me that we don't have sound system at the reception. I said it was not possible because it's included at the caterer's package. It was then when I talked with the caterer's A.E that I learned that the mother of the groom decided to take away the sound system from the package without informing me (she thought that the String Quartet who will also play at the reception will bring their own sound system).

For some minutes, I notified the photographer to stall the altar group pictorial while I was pulling off all my network to get the nearest available sound system. With my wit and know-how, I was able to outsource the sound system needed for the venue without everyone noticing that we were having a slight problem.

It is really important for a planner to keep or remain its composure during these times. We need not to panic because it will affect everyone. We are the captain of the ship, and they, especially the couple depend so much from us.
