Happy Thanksgiving From all of us at Scheme

November 28, 2013 - written by Traci

We send our best wishes to all our family and friends this Thanksgiving Day! We are blessed and extremely thankful for all who have supported and encouraged us throughout the years. We are also thankful for an extremely successful launch of Welcome Bag Shoppe. Our amazing vendors have been so kind and accepting of this service! We are extremely thankful for our husbands, Jared, Gabriel and Case (Traci’s soon to be husband) for their continuous love and inspiration. We wouldn’t be where we are today without their encouragement and help. Please have a wonderful time celebrating with your family and friends. We wish you a very happy and full Thanksgiving!

XOXO Rissa, Tara & Traci

Wedding Words

November 27, 2013 - written by Traci

One of the first and most exciting things you’ll talk about as a newly engaged couple is choosing your venue. Once you’ve chosen your venue you’ll meet with the catering manager who might throw out some words and phrases that will make it sound like they’re speaking a different language. We’re here to translate!

Banquet Event Order –
commonly referred to as ‘BEO’, is the form that has all the information including guest count, menu, timeline, room setup and couples’ requests. Throughout the night your banquet captain will reference this document to ensure everything about your day goes as planned.

++ (plus plus) –
the additional local tax and service fees are the ‘plus plus’ of your final bill, this can add a total of a 30% increase and should be considered in your budget as half of it is typically allocated to food and beverage.

COI –
the abbreviated term for ‘Certificate of Insurance’, is something your venue may ask from your vendors as proof of general liability insurance.

With these new terms you’ll be able to keep up with the wedding lingo at your next venue meeting!

A Year of Weddings

November 26, 2013 - written by Traci

Our last wedding of 2013 came to a close this past weekend. As bittersweet as it is, we could not be more thankful for our couples over the past year… and the past three years. As our 2013 couples said “I Do!” and began their lives together, several of our couples from the past had new additions brought into this world and started their families together. What better way to close off this wedding season than with a post shown through the eyes of Scheme via Instagram and to be able to relive this crazy awesome year?

Starting with our most recent wedding of Shelbi and Raymond at the oh so beautiful Springs Preserve going all the way back to January 2, 2013 with the sweet Leslie and Chris at Veil at Silverton. It was an amazing year filled with love shared between two people, laughter including groomsmen dressed as flying Elvises and families celebrating with their loved ones. Congratulations to all of our couples this past year… we love you all and will forever be a part of the Scheme family.
