Wedding Coordinators Organize So You Can Enjoy Your Day

This couple could have used a wedding planner! Everything went fine until the reception, when the band stopped playing to give the DJ a turn.

I just had the honor of coordinating a lovely wedding in a Yacht club. We had incredible Polish musicians who also played rock & roll and sang in Spanish! After about four songs it would switch over to the DJ and it worked out perfectly. When I read this story below I thought how unfortunate they didn't have a coordinator to organize there music wishes...

"Fabiana Reyes and her husband, Elmo Jesus Fernandez, thought it would be nice to renew their wedding vows last year — in a church this time, since they didn’t have a church wedding the first time around.

Everything went fine until the reception, when the band stopped playing to give the DJ a turn.

Reyes got so frustrated that she “knocked over and damaged the band’s conga drums valued at $600, a speaker valued at $350 and other equipment,” according to the New York newspaper The Journal News.

A fight ultimately erupted between police and Reyes, her husband and their 21-year-old daughter. All three family members went to jail.

A planner would know the Reyes/Fernandez wishes ahead of time so that the band would only take breaks at certain times. It would have been explained and planned out ahead of time! Gimme those conga drums!
