They don’t need soil only a little water and lots and lots of air! An Air Plant takes center stage on this beautiful garden table setup! Surrounded by lush floral, topiaries and cloche 🪴 and romantic candles with the ocean breeze and crashing waves in the distance. Now that’s the way to set the stage!

This is how we do it! I always have transportation

This is how we do it! I always have transportation coordinators who help guests board the transportation and get them from point A to point B because there are so many moving parts.

Here are some helpful steps in figuring out transportation for your wedding guests (and reasons why you may need an event team to help you):

1️⃣ Sit down and look at your list. Approximately how many guests will need to be transported throughout the event?

2️⃣ How many locations for pick up and drop off? Are there stops along the way? Are there multiple locations?

3️⃣ Put together a chart of pickup and drop off locations, add a column for timing, and then leave plenty of time for guests to board. Don't forget to leave significant travel time between locations accounting for traffic, etc.

4️⃣ Call your transportation company: What vehicles are available and how many guests will fit in each vehicle? Do you need a trolley? A mini coach?

5️⃣ Make sure to let guests know of transportation options. The information can go in the invitation suite, on the wedding website, and at the front desk at hotels where guests are staying.

This is just the start. Book your free 20 minute consult now and I can help get you on your way to planning a stress free way to get your guests from point A to B so you can enjoy your day! Our smiling team can be there to board your guests at their hotel, be in touch with the drivers, coordinate the guest drop-off and pick-up and handle all the details in between. We can be there till the end when guests hobble back to the bus with shoes in their hands to get back to their hotel safely!

If you book your free 20 minute consult, I will send you a complimentary "Get Organized" plan to help you get started!

I started skiing when I was 4. Growing up in NY we were a 4 1/2 hour ride to the Berkshires where my family frequently skied. I still remember sitting in the back of my dad's Fiat as we raced to the mountain to be the first that day to ski on the fresh powdery snow. I stayed out for hours!

Years later I taught my kids to ski. My son hated it when he was little, but pushing thru, cause that's what we do, both my kids love it now and we ski in Vermont and New Hampshire TOGETHER 💕

Attitash, Cranmore, and Bretton Woods are our faves! My daughter now has a season pass at Sugarbush at college and my son often scares the shit out of me skiing thru unchartered territory (woods skiing they call it 😳).

My husband and I you can find "Apres Skiing" (most of the day) at the bar waiting for our kids but despite our tiredness at our "old age" We love this family bonding time all the same!

Timelines for an event are crucial - even for the

Timelines for an event are crucial - even for the setup! I put together a conceivable yet open ended plan to start and discuss with the client. Then I bring in the vendors to confirm.

The vendors receive this carefully orchestrated timeline a few weeks prior to the event. Typically the timeline grows as I add in specific details - such as what time the Officiant will arrive at the rehearsal to what song will be playing when the college friends take a picture with their college flag.

I do an additional production schedule for the details of load in thru load out during set up. This is meticulously planned so that there is not a backup of trucks and vendors waiting to setup or breakdown their equipment.

There is also a system that must be followed in a timely order. For example, the tent sometimes must be setup prior to restroom trailers being installed and the floral in ceiling of the tent cannot be set prior to a lighting grid.

Lots to consider and mind boggling really!
