Be flexible!

Greetings all,

I hope you had your fill of wonderful food and time with family! I know I did, and we're still enjoying the leftovers. That's the best part, right?

Well, I recently received some photos of a wedding I did in October, courtesy of Ann Rabbit with Illuminare Photography. I was very pleased!

Some of you are probably familiar with the havoc created by the abrupt closure of both Bella Terazza and Tuscany at Garden Villa right after Hurricane Ike. Well, one of my brides, Tanya, was on schedule to marry there mid-October. When we both found out, it was a mad scramble to change everything.

She was blessed to find another location, and a beautiful one at that - Ashton Gardens. We adjusted all of the decorating from a rustic Italian style to now fit a formal chapel and ballroom with crystal chandelieres. In a blitz of phone calls and text messages, we did it, and got everything finalized just in time. We were so pleased with the results - very beautiful!

Being flexible and staying true to your commitments is critical to a successful business. Sometimes, as in the case I just described, life deals the cards for us and we don't have much choice about which card we're dealt. Naturally, managing those situations can become stressful for all parties involved. However - it is important that no matter what, clients are taken care of, and the service you provide to them is nothing less than the best! The results will still be something you can be proud of.

Tanya, the beautiful blushing bride
