The Perks of a Planner in Your Pocket
I am so excited to get started with this blog because of one main reason and here it is: These brides bring my life blessings and I want to share their stories! The part of what I do that gives me energy and inspiration is getting to know these couples and getting to witness their unique relationships.
“The part of what I do that gives me energy and inspiration is getting to know these couples and getting to witness their unique relationships.”
A little back story of how I got here… Some friends of ours, Tyler and Whitney, hired me to coordinate their wedding for them before Infinity Events existed because they could see potential and believed in me. (Don’t worry, you will hear about that story in full when I get to their sweet marriage post!) Infinity Events began on true love, relationships and belief in others, and those are some of the main principles on which I do business.
Karen hired me for Extended Coordination shortly after I established myself as a small business. Even though she wasn’t my first bride to sign with me, she was the first wedding that came along. (For more information about what Extended Coordination entails, send me a message through my website!) Everything was going pretty smoothly for her, and she found a venue (which will remain nameless) that bundled nearly her whole reception for her! About a month before the date, the venue called to say that they were terminating all contracts, and keeping deposits! She was crushed, and called me to ask if I could help her put the reception back together. My heart went out to her 100%… Of course I will help!

With extremely limited finances, and even more limited time, we worked to make this reception perfect! As vendors, we all came together helping with pricing where we could and executed the Bride’s vision within her budget. It was incredibly evident to me that God had his hand on so many pieces of this account. He had his hand on me… Showing me that I was meant for this… That even with that stressful and potentially detrimental situation, I loved what I was doing and came through it with flying colors. God has his hand on Karen and David… Giving them calm during those last few weeks and faith that I would come through for them. He had his hand on the vendors… Speaking to their hearts about the situation so that everyone pulled together on the Bride and Groom’s behalf.
“Dear Karen & David,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be a part of your day. Thank you for trusting me with your situation and having faith in me when I was so new. You made me realize that this venture is not only worth my time, but God’s intention for my life. Your love is an inspiration to me, and I wish you all of the happiness in the world.
Love,
Emma & the Infinity Events Team”
