Thank You ULM Video Productions

My adventures of coordinating another East Indian Wedding which encompassed the ceremony and reception on September 3 and 4 were required again.  This was an extremely organized couple and from my first initial meeting in March to the date of the wedding I must have demolished a forest with all the print outs required.   This would be my 2^nd East Indian Wedding encounter, there were slight differences but the overall template would remain the same.  Here is the YouTube link for you to view http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk0BsojR-oM

The vibrant colours and decorations required are vast and all the vendors who facilitate these functions should be well versed in their traditions and requirements.  These weddings truly make a statement and the benchmarks are extremely high. 

My mandate is to always try and be one step ahead, on the actual day of the ceremony and reception I was in the banquet hall at 6:00 a.m. to coordinate, assist, supervise and generally ensure that everything keeps moving.  When trying to explain my role to an individual they captured it perfectly, these weddings are “productions” and this is a true statement.  Armed with a clipboard and timeline breakdown of everything down to the smallest detail, the necessary telephone numbers plugged into my cell phone is a must.

All the vendors, photographers, videographers, florists, decorations, banquet staff work as a team to create the wedding couples vision, there is not an individual that makes this happen but a host of talented people.

I received this comment (below) from the videographer and I am very proud of it.  If you can impress one of your fellow colleagues it illustrates that your role as a Wedding Coordinator is on the right track.

Thank you for being on top of everything. Normally, we end up doing your job too (getting entrances right, telling clients what to do, etc.) I guess that's why we did even feel like we were working.  So thank you for making our lives easy. I just wish there were more people like you. Look forward to working with you again.   ULM Video Productions
