Insure a Day of Wedded Bliss

- written by

Now, more than ever, it is highly recommended to obtain wedding insurance as soon as you secure your wedding date at your chosen wedding venue. Wedding insurance protects you from so many things pertaining to your wedding day. For instance, you can gain protection from cancellations, gifts, jewelry, rented property, loss of deposits and weather! We all plan for a perfect wedding day, but relieve some stress and insure it. 

Among the many insurance types available, Wedding Liability Insurance is most common, and at some venues, required. It protects you from real life scenarios like red rose petals staining marble floors or a guest injuring himself on the dance floor. Wedding Liability Insurance should cover bodily injury, personal injury and property damage caused by a covered accident during your wedding. 

It is also so smart to have Wedding Cancellation Insurance including Postponement. This type of wedding insurance protects the nonrefundable expenses incurred when your wedding must be cancelled or postponed for certain reasons beyond your control. From military leave of absence to severe sickness, there are a number of unplanned scenarios and events that may put a wrench in your wedding plans. Wedding Cancellation Insurance will put your mind at ease and protect your investment. 

Among the many other wedding insurance types available, select from a la carte options that are important to you. Additional coverage against loss or damaged wedding photographs and videos, wedding gifts, wedding rings or wedding day attire may also be available. 

A wedding insurance policy may cost you $150-$500 depending on the amount of coverage requested. Shop around because costs can vary significantly. We provide two recommendations below, but you may also want to start with your own home insurance to see if a bundle might be available. Every insurance policy and every wedding scenario is different. Please be sure to talk to your insurance agent, review your policy in detail and understand every line of your policy. You won’t regret it!

Our Production Schedule Has Final Say!

- written by

As your wedding plans begin to weave together toward the final months before your wedding, vendors will request your details in many different forms. Your venue coordinator will request your desire for the set up of the room and menu details with service times so she can create a banquet event order, better known as a BEO. Your photographer and videographer will request a family photo list and suggest locations with the best lighting so they can create a photography timeline. Your band or DJ will request special song choices, names of your wedding party for the grand entrance and traditional moments you want announced to create his run of show. 

So, who’s timeline trumps the other? Well, my friend, that’s where we come in! Our production schedule is the document that has final say. We take all the information and details from the BEO, photography timeline, run of show and other pertinent information and put it into one neatly designed document which gets approved by all vendors involved. It lists the very first thing happening on your wedding day and chronologically lists every moment thereafter. It states when hair and makeup will begin, if there will be a first look or not, when hors d’oeuvres should be served, what is the signature cocktail, the wedding party processional lineup, how the couple will be introduced, will we be saving the top tier of the cake, will there be a grand entrance, etc., etc.

Vendors are more than welcome to use their condensed versions, but the production schedule allows vendors to understand the overall picture of the day rather than just their fraction. The wedding planner’s production schedule is much more than the wedding day timeline, it brings your vendors together for a common goal and invites vendors to work as a team. It opens up conversation and thoughtfulness throughout the wedding day. The production schedule is essential to a successful day!  

Contact us today so we can help you create your production schedule and confirm all the details you’ve been scheming for months for your vendor team. Our Las Vegas wedding day of coordination services are highly recommended at many venues because it has proven its success over many years. We look forward to hearing all about your wedding day details and creating a production schedule for you.

Introducing 2021 Pantone Color of the Year: 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and 13-0647 Illuminating.

2021 Pantone Color of the Year

According to Pantone, it’s a marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting. The combination reminds me to be present in the darkness and uncertainty with hope for brighter days ahead. I find Pantone’s choice very fitting for what our world has experienced in 2020. In weddings, I’m pleased to see gray continuing to be a neutral color which compliments most others. It can be found in linen, tabletop decor, interior furnishings and much much more. Yellow is always so beautiful in floral and stationery.
