Wedding blog by respected wedding planner discussing design, planning, advice and reviews.

Are you one of the fortunate people to have an event at home or at least in the grounds of someone that cares about you? If so this new series is for you. Over the last 7 years I have organised many marquee events and have become known as an expert amongst planners and clients alike. Personally I love them, yes its HARD work but the results are worth it. So every Monday I will be passing on some of my top tips.

PLANNER - seriously think about having a planner to assist with the planning or at least project manage the wedding day for you. Venues have banqueting managers to deal with problems but you will have no-one. A planner can decorate the venue, take delivery of goods plus manage the day itself so if any challenges occur they are dealt with in a professional manner leaving you to relax and party. I cover the East Anglia region but for reputable planners in your area view the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners.

SECURITY - Is there a room in the house that can be locked? If so use this for valuables and wedding presents, give the key to your planner or bridesmaid. If the marquee will be unattended before the wedding, for example if it is on premises no-one lives at then seriously consider hiring a security guard, this is not the time for all your hard work to be spoilt by a local thief.If you need help with your marquee event then visit our website for details on the services we offer.

CLEANING - A practical tip I have is to make up a cleaning basket ready for spills or messes. Give to your wedding planner or caterer so they are prepared for any accidents that occur. Think about having some cleaners the morning after to assist with the inevitable mess.If you need help with your marquee event then visit our website for details on the services we offer.
