Event Management

Notes you select the perfect location. It should also be near to the residence of bride or groom in
order to add more to convenience factor.

Wedding shoes: Shoes are the most important part of wedding attire and they should
match up with the dress of bride and groom. Wedding planners have some contacts in
their list related to designer shoes and they can help you to get best shoes for your
wedding.

Example: If Your dress is of white color then you can go for ivory color shoes.
Wedding budget: Wedding arrangements are highly dependent on budget factor. Even in
lower budget you can plan grand wedding but for this it is essential to have proper
wedding planning. Hiring wedding planner can be good option as they have good contacts
and can allow you to have fair deal. Depending on your budget you can select venue,
decide wedding theme, wedding dress etc.
Makeup and hair style: Wedding day is day of bride and groom. They should look best on
the day and for this it is important to hire good makeup artist and hair stylist. Indian
weddings differ as per the religion and makeup as well as hairstyle in every wedding is
different. The makeup artist you hire should know what kind of makeup goes well with
different face cut. For groom hair style plays most important role as it enhances the
overall appearance of person.
Booking caterer: Food is the important part of wedding as good food will raise your
image and bad food will spoil your image. Hire the caterer services that are experienced
in this field and can provide you with quality food. There must separate section for stuff
like cakes, chocolates, ice creams, chocolate puddings, etc for children.

Allotment of work: Before the actual wedding day every staff member should be allotted
with their work list in order to avoid any kind of consequences. Single person cannot plan
the entire wedding and so here the need to responsible staff arises.

7.3.2 Main Wedding Day Arrangements

Taking follow up: When you allot wedding related work to staff members, it becomes
important to scrutinize the work in order to avoid errors. Follow up must be taken related
to each and every work from makeup to decoration. In case there are any errors then you
can resolve them before wedding is pursued.

Food testing: During wedding day people are eager to know two things that is overall
presentation of bride and groom, and quality of food served. Indian cuisines are always
known for their taste and so people always are keen to enter the food counter. In such
situation, if they find bad taste of food then half of your arrangements go in vain. So food
testing is the most important department which must be taken care of.
Examining wedding decoration and sound system: Make sure that nothing is left out in
decoration as per you have promised to client. Deliver services that you have promised or
it might put your reputation on stake as a wedding planner. Also check sound system as
any error in it can create lot of disturbance during wedding.

7.3.3 Post-wedding arrangement

Arranging grand reception: After the rituals come to an end, then comes the reception
night where everyone greets the couple and gives best wishes for life. This is again an
important part of post wedding ceremony where every member actively participates.
Again here venue should be well decorated and food should be finger licking.
