Gina & Jon, 5/2/2009

Gina and Jon, of Charlotte, NC, had finished most of their wedding planning, but needed someone to coordinate their wedding and reception. They began searching online and found my site and booked me right away. With my assistance in pointing them to a chair rental company and transportation options, Gina and Jon finished up the last bit of their planning without headaches. I met with the couple and their caterer at the reception site on April 10 to discuss the food and bar set ups. They are a bright couple, and knew all the right questions to ask. I liked them right away.
On May 2, 2009 at five in the evening, Gina and Jon exchanged wedding vows and rings on the waterfront lawn of the Ocean Isle Beach Chapel in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. I had met with the couple and the wedding party at the chapel for a rehearsal the day before, so everything went perfectly according to plan on the big day. A string trio played as Gina and her father walked down the grassy aisle and when Gina walked back upthe aisle with her new husband.

Friends of the family welcomed the wedding party and guests to their oceanfront home for the reception. A band played classics by Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra while everyone ate a delicious dinner, enjoyed drinks from the bars, and danced the night away. There’s no way every single person at that wedding didn’t have a fabulous time! The couple’s exit was delayed by half an hour because they didn’t want to leave! The guests begged the band to keep playing, but eventually the evening came to its end. There’s no better feeling, as a coordinator, than knowing you did a wonderful job and that the guests will be talking about it for a long, long time!

Big thanks go to all the vendors who helped with this event, and to all the family and friends who were there to help celebrate the marriage of Gina and Jon!
