I think it’s pretty safe to say
everyone remembers where they were the weekend of October 8, 2016. Our weekend started several days out as we
were attending Wedding conference in Vegas while keeping up what was going on
with the weather back in NC. We begin
prepping our couples (yes we had two weddings that weekend). Every morning for a couple hours prior to
attending that day’s conference sessions we would spend time checking weather
reports, check in with our couples and touch base with vendors making sure
everyone understood our game plan. Still
completely unsure what Hurricane Matthew was going to do we planned for the
worst, hoped for the best and expected the unexpected.
Our first couple had hired us
after they had booked majority of their vendors but still looking for guidance
in planning, a few additional vendors and truly handling the closer to the BIG
day details. Our couple was incredible to
work with. She had phenomenal questions,
she was great to finish “homework” projects and showed up on wedding day with
everything labeled and ready to go. We
were ready for our one wedding crasher called Hurricane Matthew. The father of the bride was so much calmer by
lighting the mood during the rehearsal saying… “my name is Matthew, but I’m a
lot calmer and much more fun than that one off our shore right now.” Everyone laughed and at that moment I think
everyone focused on what was important not that it was raining a monsoon and we
were in a fully outdoor venue with a tent.
The day of the wedding arrived
just as planned and all of the vendors came together to create one of the most
intimate and beautiful ceremonies. The
guests were so understanding and flexible.
We couldn’t have asked for a better group of people (vendors and guests)
to handle all of the circumstances that we overcame. The venue staff went above and beyond working
on pumps on the patio to try and keep the water flow to a minimum. As things came up we as a team created
magic. They say it takes a village to
raise a family, well it takes a team to pull 
The florist created a beautiful
backdrop for their ceremony, the catering team worked fast to make sure
everything was in place before the first guest arrived and the entertainment
quickly provided music in the background to lighten the mood during set
up. Our KYAE team assisted in the venue prep,
helped vendors load in the rain, assisted with set up, all while making sure
the family didn’t need anything. Here
are a few amazing photos from this beautiful couple not letting anyone rain on
their day…
