How the Movies Portray Event Planning, and What it Really Looks Like

3/25/2021

 
If you’ve been bingeing on wedding movies in preparation for your big day, titles like “The Wedding Planner,” “Bridesmaids,” and “Bride Wars” probably come to mind. We’ll admit, some of us enjoy a girls’ night in with these guilty pleasure films – but they’re not totally accurate in depicting the event planning world.
 
Here are a few things the movies get wrong about what event planning REALLY looks like:
 
The over-the-top weddings
Movie weddings tend to be extravagant and exaggerated, which can set unrealistic expectations for brides-to-be. Many of the weddings shown in these rom-coms would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to recreate – some over a million dollars.

Picture
​Since the average amount couples budget for a wedding in the United States is $33,900, these weddings aren’t feasible for most couples to recreate. The good news is that we can help you create a magazine-worthy wedding even if your budget is less than a sixth of that national average.
 
The drama
Sure, we’ve seen some drama, but not every bride is a Bridezilla, not every mother-of-the-bride has a vendetta against the couple, and not every corporate client is difficult to work with. In fact, we love our clients, past and present.
 
Events are often stressful for clients. After all, it’s your big day, and there’s a lot at stake. But that’s why you hired us! Our job is to relieve that stress and keep the drama to a minimum so you can soak up every memorable moment.
 
Still - sometimes real life is even MORE unbelievable
What if the picturesque trolley you hired to shuttle guests to their hotels after your scenic mountain wedding can’t make it out of the icy parking lot? Or, what if a water pipe bursts in the wall just before your ceremony on a -20 degree day?
 
Yes, we have seen those things happen. Event planning requires equal parts perfectionism and flexibility. You don’t want your event planner to be a deer in headlights when something doesn’t go according to plan. That’s why you hire us!
Picture
​We don’t get involved in clients’ personal lives
As tempted as we may be if our client were Matthew McConaughey, you won’t catch us out drinking and dancing with a groom-to-be. We help our clients navigate personal circumstances from a logistical perspective, but we won’t be hanging around outside of meetings or gossiping with family members.
 
We work as a team
Certainly, there are solo event planners out there who make it work. But we find that event planning works best as a team. Remember that burst water pipe we mentioned? While some of our team was collecting gushing water in trash cans and throwing it outside, the rest of us were seamlessly conducting a wedding ceremony in the next room – on time, we might add.
 
Meet our team of talented women here.
 
We don’t use code words
Okay, we could do this if we really wanted to, but we find it works just as well to communicate discreetly about what’s really going on. We always strive for transparency when it’s appropriate. And when we’re trying to mitigate your stress on the day of your big event, we’ll handle it as a team behind the scenes. 
Picture
​The perfect vision takes planning – and lots of logistics
If events magically fell into place, we’d be out of a job. Having a vision is great, but what happens when your dream venue doesn’t allow you to work with the outside caterer you had your heart set on?
 
Weddings and all other events require juggling lots of moving parts. If you have an event planner from the start, you won’t run into these issues. But even if you come to us further along in the process, don’t worry – we are great problem-solvers.
 
We don’t trash talk past clients with our current clients (and we certainly don’t take bets on how long marriages will last)
These things are unprofessional – not to mention just in bad taste. We wish all of our clients – couples, families, small businesses, and large corporations – the best, and we strive to give you the best. We won’t be broadcasting your pre-ceremony breakdown or the frustration you expressed during a high-stress time.
 
All this said, there are some films that do get it right. If you want to know what event planning is like behind the scenes, check out “Fyre” (a cautionary tale of event planning gone wrong), “The First Monday in May,” or “The Ultimate Wedding Planner.”
 
Need more convincing? Read about our top 10 reasons to hire a wedding planner. P.S. – these reasons also apply to work events, concerts, and anything else you can dream up!
 
Hire My Big Day – for business, for community, for love, and for fun.

Get to know MBD Wedding Couple Eriq & Ashley

2/3/2021

 
Picture

​We’ve seen their fun family photos, and have heard a little bit about their Big Day plans.

Now, we’re taking some time to really get to know our special 2021 MBD wedding couple - Eriq & Ashley.

​They have a fun and exciting love story, and we can’t wait to see it come full circle in September when they tie the knot on top of
The Elizabeth Hotel in front of family and friends.
​

​
We sent a series of questions to both Eriq & Ashley and here are some of their responses:

How did you two meet?
Eriq: Well we met on tinder. I was over tinder but decided to go back through my matches to see if I had missed anyone worthwhile, and there she was! She had orange hair in the pic, and orange is my fav color so I took it as a sign, lol. I hit her up, and we went on our 1st date at the now non-existent Enzios. We pretty much laughed the whole time, and hit it off pretty great, and agreed to more dates. I had to go to Tour de Fat the next day because- obviously -  but she had her son Zep, so she couldn't make it. We snapchatted all day and it made her laugh, so that's cool.
​

Ashley:  We met on Tinder, and by the time that we set up a date I was almost finished with the tinder experience.  We started our relationship on a last hope, lol.

What was your first impression?
Ashley: First impression was shock, because I actually finally liked the guy I was on a date with!  I remember his amazing skin color and how nice his smile was.  I could also carry a nice conversation with him, unlike my other Tinder dates.
What are your favorite things about your partner?
Eriq: My fav thing about Ash is her compassion for others. She really is a kind soul but suffers, as a lot of us do, from not believing she's worthy of love, or the finer things life can offer. Because of this she puts up a pretty tough exterior. She's loud and combative, but will listen if she believes she will be listened to - and I dig that man! 
​

Ashley: I love how Eriq knows how to deal with me.  I can be a little crazy at times and he allows that and handles it with such grace.  He is the calm to my storm, and that is what I need in my life. 
 
 
In what ways are you most alike? In what ways are you most different?
Eriq: She will listen if she believes she will be listened to. We're a lot alike in that sense. I guess where we most differ is where we put our priorities. Not that any one of us is wrong or doesn't have priorities, just that they seldomly align with one another. We both work toward our goals just in different ways. She's also way louder than I am. 

Ashley: I think the way that we are most alike is how much fun we both like to have.  We are always down for a good time and have a blast at doing it! As far as differences -  I would say that my answer is very similar to Eriq's.  Our priorities of what's important to us are out of line with each other.  That honestly is mostly with stuff around the house for me! Cleaning and what not.
​

Picture
How did the proposal go?
Eriq: My proposal to Ash went like this...so we often have friends over to our house for various get togethers. This occasion called for her friends to come hang out, and was sold as a “kids date” thing so her son Zep could play with her friends’ daughters. They were of course in on it as I had told them my intentions. There was a bit of drama…. the drama came from one of her friends having an issue with one of my friends (that really wasn't an issue because I had cleared it with her prior, but ash didn't know and thought there was still drama there). Then as all these people started showing up Ash got upset with me for inviting friends she thought had problems with each other. I said something like, "hey sometimes parties just materialize and there's nothing we can do about it." Then as people were about to finish with these really amazing smoked ribs our friend Nolan Shore made, and as Ash was really good and pissed at me, I dropped and popped and she said, “Why not, couldn't hurt right?” LOL Anyway, I'm sure someone has a video of it. All in all it was pretty hilarious and fun. Although Ash might have something different to say about it. 

Ashley: Eriq pretty much nailed this one.
 
  
What are you looking forward to on your wedding day?
Eriq: I guess on our wedding day, I'm most looking forward to Ash professing her relentless and undying devotion to me in front of our friends and family. Also kinda jazzed about the badass suite on top of The Elizabeth Hotel for a couple days. 
​

Ashley:  I'm most looking forward to saying yes to the love of my life for the rest of my life!  I also look forward to seeing him cry, HA!!  Especially if his mom starts crying!
Why do you love Ashley?
Why do I love Ash....sheesh, how long do you want this to get?? I love Ash for who she is, what she's accomplished, and what she's capable of in the future. She's my person, my ultimate ride or die, and even though we can never ever ever play monopoly together, we make a really great team! 
 
Why do you love Eriq?
I love Eriq because he is my other half.   He will always have my back and will love me endlessly.  He accepts me for who I am and loves me despite my flaws and weaknesses.
 
What are your honeymoon plans?
Eriq: Our honeymoon is kinda cliche. We plan on going to Greece or somewhere in the Mediterranean, and chill for about ten days or so.
 
Ashley:  Hopefully, if things go as planned, we will be spending our Honeymoon in Greece!  But not before we celebrate Tour De Fat!!  So excited to party the day after the wedding as well for one of the biggest events that Fort Collins hosts!

5 Ways to Support the 2020 Wedding Season’s “COVID Couples” (And 3 Things to Avoid)

9/22/2020

 
You may have friends or family members – dubbed “COVID Couples’ – who have had to postpone or cancel their weddings because of the pandemic. For most couples, this is a difficult decision to make, and may bring up feelings of sadness, anger, or even loss. Here are some ways to support the special people in your life whose weddings have been affected by COVID – and some things to avoid. 
 
DO:
 
1. Send a surprise gift on their original wedding day. This is likely to be the most difficult day for the couple. Consider sending flowers, sweets, or a gift card for a takeout date night with a note saying you are thinking of them. If you’re on a budget, stick with a handwritten note dropped at their doorstep or surprise them with FaceTime or a phone call. Don’t forget about the groom!
Picture
​2. Listen. Be a shoulder to cry on for your friends and family. Venting can be a therapeutic way to deal with negative emotions from having to postpone or cancel their wedding. Be open and understanding, but not dismissive or overly positive.
 
3. Contact vendors. A lot goes in to planning a wedding. If your couple has hired a wedding planner, they can help with reaching out to the vendors the couple has chosen. If not, consider the numerous contracts with the florist, photographer, caterer, cake decorator, venue, DJ, furniture rentals, day-of coordinator, and many more that may exist. Depending on the vendor and the wording of each contract, meetings with vendors may involve renegotiating the contract, maintaining it but postponing the date, or asking for a partial refund. 
Picture
4. Give them resources. There are many couples in the same boat, and many community and support groups online. The Zola Facebook Community  has almost 12,000 members in the throes of pandemic wedding planning. For more local advice, check out Colorado COVID-19 Wedding Support.
 
5. Deal with guests. Offer to help contact guests to notify them of changes to the event. This could involve a formal, mailed update, or an email or text if the wedding was scheduled for just a few weeks away. Be sure to introduce yourself to the couple’s family and friends if making calls or sending texts on their behalf. You can also help answer guests’ follow-up questions about reservations they had for the wedding or the timing of the rescheduled event (if there is one).
 
Picture
​DON’T:
1. Give opinions or advice unless it is solicited by the couple. It is complicated and confusing trying to reschedule a large event with many moving parts, never mind with unwarranted opinions thrown into the mix. Give advice only if you are asked to by the couple.
 
2. Be overly positive or dismissive. Saying, “It’s going to be fine,” may not go over well. Things may not be okay for your friends or family members, and they don’t have to be. Try saying, “I’m sorry. I wish things were different,” or “I can’t imagine what you’re going through, but I’m here for you.”
 
3. Expect to be able to fix it. As a friend or family member, the best you can do is listen and offer help or advice if it’s requested. Do not try to fix their feelings or the situation.

What To Ask Before You Propose

7/1/2020

 
So you think you’ve found the PB to your J…..
The bee to your honey….
The love of your life…. 
and now you’re ready to take the next step? 
Before you do, you should really spend some time in personal reflection, and in conversation with your significant other, because in a life changing event such as getting engaged, even some small things can become significant.

The team at My Big Day has pulled together a list of questions you should really consider asking your partner before you ask for their hand in marriage.

​
Picture
All of these questions are good to consider when you are thinking about taking the next step in your relationship. Open and honest discussions can help build a strong foundation that will weather anything life throws at the two of you.

COVID-19 Wedded Bliss in Colorado

4/23/2020

 
The My Big Day wedding business has been hit hard due to COVID-19. With all of the cancellations and changes, we wanted to highlight a couple who is a shining example of how to make lemonade out of the lemons they were handed.

Zach and Samantha not only had their wedding cancel... their venue wouldn't offer a refund, they realistically cannot reschedule until next year, their family couldn't fly to them in Colorado to witness them say their vows to each other... but
​they had the right perspective.

Love is what matters most.
Picture
No exquisite venue
No big bridal party
No fancy dinner
No dancing til the wee hours of the morning
No honeymoon suite
No honeymoon
No elaborate photo shoot
​No hair & make-up artist
No photo booth
No gift table
No guest book
No bridal party grand entrance
​No chicken dance
​No limo ride home

What they did have:

Wedding vows
     Wedding rings
          A suite & dress
               Social distancing
                     Masks
                           A few photos
                                  Eternal LOVE
No, their day is not what they had initially pictured, but it was "perfect!"
They got married. They are in love. They have a great story to tell. And they can host a big celebration at a later date.

Today we raise our virtual glasses to Zach & Samantha!
Congratulations on your marriage!

Loveland’s Second Love Lock Sculpture
Loveland has unveiled its second love lock sculpture which will sit in the Foundry Plaza downtown for six weeks, through the Sweetheart Festival, before moving to its permanent location along the south shore of Lake Loveland near the American flag and Statue of Liberty sculpture.

The love locks can be customized with a paint pen or hand carving to include names and dates of those locking their love. 
Love locks are a symbol of love and commitment that has been inspired by an ancient custom, which is believed to have originated in China – where lovers lock a padlock on a chain or gate and then throw away the key, symbolically locking their love forever.

Places in Colorado to POP the Question

8/13/2019

 
The proposal is a story you will tell for the rest of your life. "How did he do it?" "Where did you do it?" "Did you know it was coming?" "How did you react?"

Where and how you propose or are proposed to can be as important as the Big Day itself.

If you are struggling to find the right location or right time, listen to your gut, and check out a few ideas from us!

Where you met

Maybe you met at a bar, a friend's house, or at a political rally. Go back to the place where it all began and recreate the first time you met.
Picture


​Where you had your first date

Maybe your first date was a complete strike out, but you were lucky enough to score a second one. Or perhaps it was the kind of date that inspires corny movies.  If it was memorable, it might be worth reliving.
Picture


​By a body of water

There is something so relaxing and romantic about water. A peaceful walk with no one around, ultimate privacy with a sunrise or sunset, and the sound of gentle waves.... Is this your style?
There are great views and private spots all over Colorado!
  • Grand Lake
  • Chatfield Reservoir
  • Horsetooth Reservoir
  • Boulder Reservoir
  • Prospect Lake
  • Boyd Lake
  • Lake Granby
  • Lake Dillon
  • The Big Thompson
  • Lily Lake

Picture


In a snow storm

Just as with a peaceful lake, a snow storm proposal comes with built in romance. Quiet snow, the threat of not being able to leave home for a couple days, hot chocolate, a crackling fire.... what's not to love?
Picture


​On a mountain top

Whether you hike, take a gondola, a train, or drive... a mountain top proposal ranks up there with romantic Colorado proposal locations. Just be sure your fiance to be has enough air!
Picture


​In Loveland

Loveland, Colorado is the Nation's Sweetheart City after all. And it's right here in Colorado! The trendy downtown bodes many unique places to pop the question. You can visit the Valentine exhibit at the Loveland Museum Gallery, and you can 'Lock Your Love' on the now famous sculpture at the Loveland Visitor's Center.

An Intimate  French Revelry Wedding on Boyd Lake

7/2/2018

 
We were so proud to be a part of this celebration of love and commitment between Pat and Tracy in their Boyd Lake home this past Saturday.
My Big Day was asked to help coordinate an intimate wedding for Pat and Tracy who wanted to make sure that their closest friends and family had a taste of Tracy's French family background.  We came up with a 'French Revelry' style day for the couple!
Picture
While the weather didn't fully cooperate, this couple was cool and calm, and kept a focus on what was truly important!
Picture
The colors chosen for the wedding were a white base, with tons of POP! Burgundy, reds, pinks and greens warmed each room. Sprawling vines added an earthy feel.  Lace and Lilies in Fort Collins did an amazing job transforming the home!
Picture
Picture
Picture
To make a French Revelry meal complete, you need a very special menu and multiple courses!  Taste Local in Loveland, CO did an amazing job with the menu selection, presentation, and authentic interpretation!
Picture
Picture
Picture
And what multiple course meal would be complete without a wine pairing?  Our sommelier friend, Paul, hand selected multiple wines to pair with each course. He educated guests on the background of each wine and why it pairs so well!
Picture
Picture
Picture
While we didn't get to celebrate out on the deck - looking out on Boyd Lake, Flexx  Productions did provide rentals perfect for some shade on a sunny deck, all of the tables, chairs, linens, gold flatware and more!
Picture
Of course, we wouldn't get to post such lovely photos without the permission and talent of the lovely Kyla with KJean Photography!  She is always a pleasure to work with and such a professional!

Congratulations to the latest happy My Big Day wedding couple: Patrick & Tracy!

2018 Valentine's Day Wedding Success

2/15/2018
