When I’m coordinating a wedding or party, I do a lot of things that are visible: I put out the place cards; oversee the decor (if there is no decorator); manage the processional; communicate with the DJ; and so on. But there is a whole category of things I do that no one ever sees, and those are perhaps the most important things I do.
The things you’ll never see or know about are things like these:
- If the air temperature is too cold or too hot, I find a building engineer and ask them to make the room more comfortable.
- Adjust the lighting when dancing starts.
- Help guests who have special needs or problems.
- Look for lost items.
- Call taxis for guests.
- Replace toilet paper in the bathrooms.
- Fix any problems that come up with the caterer or other vendors.
These are the non-glamorous parts of the job, but I consider them among the most important ones because they keep your guests happy.
