As wedding consultants and as leaders in the Philadelphia market… we haven’t gotten this far by telling clients things “We Don’t’ Do”
However in this case I think you’ll forgive us…
1. We don’t wear skirts, dresses or heels….
Sorry, I just don’t have the legs for it…
But you also won’t find any of the ladies on my team wearing them. We find that crawling on the floor to find guests earrings, bustling wedding gowns and carrying boxes for programs, favors and other assorted wedding ‘stuff’ is best handled in tasteful slacks and flat shoes.
2. We don’t leave until the reception is over…
We’re there until the end of the night… the party is not over after the cake cutting for us.
Expect that you’ll see us packing up your personal belongings, checking in with the photographer and videographer when they’re done and saying good night to your guests as they leave…
3. We don’t leave without saying Good Night…
Once your night is over and you’ve said good night to your guests – we excuse our selves, say good night to you, and your parents’ …
You’re the guest of honor and they’re the hosts of the party… we weren’t there as guests but we appreciate being invited and so after reviewing where we’ve secured all your personal belongings and gifts- we say good night, and thank you!
4. We don’t eat your hors d’oeuvres…
We’re not guests at the wedding and don’t feel it’s appropriate to be taking butlered hors d’oeuvres or eating from your food stations…
It’s always a good idea {and appreciated} when you provide a meal for the wedding professionals {many will be with you for 10-12 hours}…. But we’re not there for the cocktail party.
5. We don’t drink…
This is not our night off at the Continental – it’s our job, I’m pretty sure your boss doesn’t allow you to drink at work…. We don’t drink and request that the other event professionals working with us don’t either!
We don’t like telling our clients things we DON’T do…. But these stay in the rule book… it’s what sets us apart…
