The last-minute unforeseen events, she managed, but he is the worst in her career. She tells us how she had to find a solution in an hour on D -Day …
As a wedding planner, Charlotte Beuvelet, had to manage stressful situations. Because the unforeseen events are not uncommon when organizing a wedding with hundreds of guests. Starting with bad weather, which can literally spoil the party. This is where the service of a wedding planner takes on its full meaning, since its role is to anticipate, to organize a reception in the image of the bride and groom, but also to manage impromptu situations, especially when they occur on D -Day!
“It happened that a sudden thunderstorm lights up the trees around and causes a final power cut“During a wedding organized at the Château de Vallery, in Burgundy-Franche-Comté.”The electricity was cut for three hours, there were no solution and the roads were not practicable. Fortunately, the manager called all the local farmers and brought the generator of his farm. Together, they were able to make the electrical connections to restart the kitchen, light the light and make people dance while waiting for the dishes to be ready “tells us Charlotte BEUVELET, Wedding Planner for CM Event & Coaching. Another incredible situation that she faced twice: the occurrence of a heart attack among the guests. “”The first time, it was a friend of the bride’s father, and the second time was the bride’s stepfather (her mother’s new companion), who fell in the middle of a cocktail at the sight of all“Remember the wedding planner.”The mother of course left the place without attending her daughter’s wedding, it broke the dynamics, although all the guests tried to set the mood“.
But it was not the unforeseen worst that she had to manage. His partner who organized a wedding in Tours, for a hundred people, realizes the same morning that a service provider would not come. After a year of preparations, the caterer recommended by the place of reception and that the professional did not feel, decided to make a mistake. However, she had warned the couple of her feelings, but the latter insisted to give them a chance. “”However, he had already planted other newlyweds due to a burn-out “says Charlotte. “”We tried to find a plan B by calling all the caterers in the Touraine region, but none of them was available, because it was the first weekend in July“.
Charlotte and her partner then pass tirelessly to find a final solution by contacting, this time, all the restaurateurs in the area. “”We had the chance to come across a man who immediately understood the situation. He was in full service, but still decided to help us after the closure of his restaurant at 3 p.m.“He took his dishes, called all his contacts as a servers, and went to Métro to buy the necessary in order to concoct a meal for a hundred guests. “Once there, everyone helped him, the bride and groom were crying and in the end, it was one of the most beautiful marriages of my whole career thanks to this solidarity and this momentum of generosity and love“, Recalls Charlotte.
Finally, the bride, lawyer by profession, did her business by pursuing the caterer absent in court. It turns out that he had already planted 16 couples, and owed more than 80,000 euros. A page and a website have even been created against him so that he can no longer make other victims. Situations that unfortunately arrive, and which make the profession of wedding planner essential for couples.
