Planning: What would you do?

Let me ask you a question? But before I do let me preface this by saying I am not asking this question to scare you in anyway it's just to get you thinking about your options and whose going to fix it for you.

Now for my questions. Just how prepared do you think you are for your upcoming event? do you have a back-up plan? or better yet a back-up plan for your back-up plan? What if:

• your cupcakes due to be delivered the day before was stalled and now was held up in an airport in Maine (and your in NYC) and the company cannot confirm when the deliveries will be made
• your rose petals due for delivery the morning of was now stuck in PA due to the recent snow storm and will NOT be delivered until 2 hours into the event
• your DJ is stuck and cannot leave his home because his area has not been plowed as yet and he DOES NOT have 4 wheel-drive
• your venue does not have access to the special entrance door because it is snowed in and that was going to be used for your "surprise" entrance

What would you do? Would you scurry to find other treats to fill in for your cupcakes? Would you run around the city (because YOU do have 4-heel drive) trying to buy up all the roses and start petaling them yourself? Would you rush to put together a 3 hour playlist that will loop for the entire evening that will get people dancing and a 1.5 hour playlist suitable for dining? Would you scrap the "surprise entrance" or rush to put together an new one? What would you do?

If you did any of the above you would have just put yourself into a full on panic mode and now missed the joy of enjoying your special day. If you said nothing, trust that my planner has it all under control and will make the right decisions to benefit the outcome of the event, then CONGRATULATIONS you are going to have a fabulous evening.

The morale here, you are excited for your special event, don't you think you deserve to enjoy it!. Get a planner...let us deal with the "drama" and surprise issues.
