I wonder how many Professional Event Planners were glued to the T.V. early Friday morning to watch the spectacular wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. As I sat and watched I marvelled at the logistical undertaking.
Someone asked me whether or not I could have planned this wedding and I said no, they looked at me in surprise, but I continued it would have taken dozens of Professional Event Planners for this massive legendary event.
Listening to the various commentators the phrase used; the Palace team was a well oiled machine and I totally concur. For their first function many years ago they must have had tremendous trepidation as they started with their basic template, which has now been massaged, revamped and revised to perfection.
As an experienced Professional Event Planner, I have my template that I can utilize for any kind of event. Each function has its own nuance but the foundation remains the same but I build on it in different ways to correspond with the event.
If you do not have the right formula at the beginning, then things will constantly keep going wrong. After each event you take a look at your template and add notes, suggestions and ideas that can be utilized again and again.
Like the team who manages the Royal functions, you must also become a well oiled machine with a Plan A, Plan B and Plan C contingencies and still make it all look seamless.
