Day of timelines..?

Futuremrshauger · August 2014

Anyone else struggling with timelines..? Trying to nail down how many hours for hair/makeup, photography, videography, ceremony time, transportation dj,reception. I do want to get pre ceremony pics out of the way. The Flamingo Gazebo Chapel is available for 45 mins, need to arrive 30 mins early. Wanting DDB for transport. In suite reception at Star Dust available from 6pm-12am. Open bar 4 hours and Dj Godzilla 4 hours. For those with in suites do you have an idea of if your dj will be there right away..? Need for a cocktail hour for dj to host..that and during dinner..? The more I think about it maybe a DOC is gonna be needed, which of course is an extra $500 at least.

For us this was how ours end up happening, my kids were horrible the morning the worst they've ever been so I was not in the best of mood when harmony came, relatives came and picked them up at 10, harmony came at 1030 my moh took about 30 min max, but mine took until 115-130, 130 we rushed me in to my dress and left to go to the flamingo chapel at 2, the chapel coordinators finished all the details and before I knew it, it was time to walk up the aisle. Guests were on their own for transportation most of them were at the flamingo . We did a in suite but no dj, it worked out perfect our guests started leaving at 5 & we left at 6 for our dinner reservations

We had a 4pm wedding. Francesca had hair and makeup to do for seven and just hair for one. She arrived and got started around 9am. The boys and I all met in my room around noon and just hung out; I sent them to shower and get dressed around 2p and we met back at 3p and headed to the venue. Events that occurred during the day were Debi at Fit For a Bride dropped off tuxes, gowns and wedding dress at 10am, Scheme Events showed up at 10am to keep things running smoothly and get all the dresses over to the girls suite, Mike L photography arrived at 10am and started shooting immediately in both suites. Flowers and cake were both to be delivered to the venue by those respective vendors between 11am and 2p; Scheme monitored that situation. All Night Long DJ's arrived at 3pm to set up for ceremony and reception. The boys and I got to the venue and hung out in a storage room in the back since there was no way to get there after my wife would arrive lol. Guests began arriving around 3:30p. Ceremony was supposed to start at 4p. Ceremony actually started around 4:20p when my father and b*tch of a step mom showed up; they had some things to do that made them late apparently. Cocktail hour for about 80 minutes following ceremony while we did photos. Reception started around 6p. Cake cutting and first dance at 8p. Photographers had enough pictures of our drunk guests and left around 10:30p. I sent Scheme home around 9p once all the official events had completed and vendors fulfilled their duties. DJ played until the venue closed at midnight.

@rosebubbly are you doing apps and a cocktail hr at Star Dust? Or going straight to buffet?

Rosebubbly · August 2014

Thanks so much VG, this is super helpful. I'm just gonna back it up a little bit for my purposes. I think I'm gonna hire a different hmua for my girls so they can do everyone at once.
@Futuremrshauger‌ were going straight into the buffet since the ddb will be the cocktail hour but I think well also do some stationary apps. We're going on the ddb with them. We've decided to knock out our pictures beforehand. Is that weird?

Rose, I don't remember where you are having your ceremony. Can you remind me?

We are having ours in-suite at Aria. We are booking the suite for the night before also, so we can get things ready. We are having our ceremony at 2, so most of the things from our vendors will probably be delivered around 11. We are having photography start at 1, then continue while we have drinks and whatnot in the suite. Then we are planning on heading to dinner somewhere. My latest email exchanges with Wicked Spoon has me questioning where this will be.

I have found that my vendors are very helpful and very knowledgeable. They know exactly when they need to be there when I tell them what time my ceremony is.

I think that is a great idea @rosebubbly! I initially thought about having a medium cheese board display, but it's like an additional $460! Any ideas on what kind? We are Gonna knock out pics before hand too. Now if I could only nail down a date ugh ugh

Is it offensive if I hire a separate hair and makeup team for my girls? I don't want us to have to get up too early and don't want to be rushed.

Futuremrshauger · August 2014

I don't think it is offensive at all!

Not at all!

Hmm, how come some of you are able to post paragraphs and I'm not? I didn't write one long block of text but that's how TK posted it.
