Back From The Depths of Cyberspace

If you look forward to a new blog post from me every week, I have to apologize for the state of this thing for the last 6 weeks or so.  Apparently, there was some kind of .php error.  My good pal Joe Bowen–who, in addition to being a fabulous actor, is also versed in all things .php–just fixed it.  Thanks, Joe!  I’ll be back to regular posts very soon.  Thanks for your patience.  In the meantime, you can catch up on the last two posts from August that never got posted (see below).

Every wedding planner has a calendar or timeline laying out the important steps necessary to plan a wedding and reception. The timeline is an important part of planning your wedding, but there are other equally important things to think about in order to have the wedding you really want. Here is one of them:

For everyone, there are one or two elements of the ceremony or reception that will make you unhappy if they aren’t as close to perfect as possible. For me, it was the food at the reception. The meal I served my guests had to be better than anything I eat on an ordinary day. Most caterers just weren’t up to the job, and I didn’t care for their attitudes, either. I interviewed half a dozen caterers and tasted their food before I found one whose food and attitude I really liked. With the elements that are most important to you, take time early in the planning process to find someone to do the job you will be entirely happy with. See or taste samples of their work. Get at least two references. Don’t settle for second best or feel pressured by any vendor. You know what you want, and it is always possible to find it.

Happy New Year!

Some flowers for your new year!

I want to wish everyone a very happy new year.  If you are planning a wedding in 2012, you also have my congratulations and very best wishes.  If you’ve been following my blog, you have probably been bored by the rarity of new posts.  Please let me offer my apologies.  The plan is to have one new post per week in 2012.  And to figure out what bug is keeping the comments from working.

In the meantime, if you have a question or something you would like me to write about, please feel free to drop me an e-mail at Lisa at LisaGordonEvents dot com.
