Jam sent me an email inquiring for an out of town wedding coordination for September 16, 2009 and I was happy to have a chance to send a proposal since this will be our first super out of town event and a beach wedding at that.

Jam is based in Canada and she came home last April 2010 just to meet me and other suppliers. I actually thought that she just wants to talk and compare me with other wedding coordinators but I was wrong. She just needed to get a feel of how things would go with our first meeting because right after explaining our scope of work she signed our contract right there and then (just to find out that she wasn’t even considering other coordinators for her wedding).

Even if she’s at the other end of the world, she’s very hands on. She’s one of my few brides who knows what she likes. Actually, before she even met me she already knows who she wants. She just needs someone to implement her plans. She gave me a list of her preferred suppliers to confirm their rates and availability.

The wedding planning and coordination took us one year and seven months (from inquiry to wedding day).

During the program, Jam and Alex gave out gifts and I was surprised when I was called to receive a gift. For once I was a part of the program and not just coordinating it. Of all the suppliers I was the only one who got a gift and acknowledged in front of the guests. Normally thank you’s and gift giving is done after the program. But for this wedding it was during the actual program.

Weeks after the wedding I met Grace of Ariel Javelosa Photography. She told me that Alex and Jam got their album already and my photo (the one above) was INCLUDED in their wedding album. I was speechless after hearing that.

I am so honored to be part of this wedding.
