Manguso/Brennan Coordination

July 22, 2008

One Saturday afternoon, while I was snug in my pj’s and reading a good book, my boss calls me in a panic explaining that she had been in an accident and needed me to cover her wedding for her. The only catch was - it was to begin in 30 minutes! I got dressed as fast as I could, and headed straight to work. I arrived just in the knick of time - guests were being seated and the bride was ready to go!

I checked in with the wedding coordinator for the bride and groom, did a quick walk-through of the ceremony room, and checked on the status of the reception room. The ceremony went off without a hitch, but much to the guests surprise, we were forced to kick them out of the room so we could do a very quick one-hour turnover. We turned half of the room into the other half of the reception room - with a partition now open connection the two rooms. Let me tell you…it was utter CHAOS! But we have a fantastic staff, and they were ready to accommodate this group with ease.

My clients or not, I am ecstatic I was able to be part of such a wonderful gathering of guests. Not to mention, I ran into one of my old collegues, Beth Snook, who happened to be one of the bridesmaids. Hi Beth! :)

Enjoy the pictures…this was one of the more finely decorated weddings we’ve had.
