The Wedding That Almost Didn’t Happen 🤍🌺🌧️
I’ve been planning weddings for 18 years now and last night was a wedding I will never forget. Not because everything didn’t necessarily go according to the original plan, but because of everything we did to make sure this couple still got the wedding they deserved.
It was 18 months of planning…what started as a beautiful outdoor Maui wedding quickly turned into a race against the clock as the hurricane approached. We watched the weather, made phone calls, contacted venues, worked with vendors, changed timelines, moved the ceremony, secured a backup location, communicated updates, and made decisions that no wedding coordinator ever wants to have to make.
There were moments of uncertainty, stress, and honestly, a lot of “Okay…what do we do now?” 😅
But that’s the part of wedding planning people don’t always see.
Behind the beautiful photos and happy moments are the countless phone calls, problem-solving, backup plans, vendor coordination, timeline changes, and decisions happening behind the scenes to protect the couple’s day.
And somehow, through a hurricane, venue changes, weather warnings, power outage at the end of the reception, and a million moving pieces…we made it happen. ❤️
I’m incredibly grateful for every vendor who worked with us, every person who answered a phone call, every venue that helped us find solutions, and most importantly, for this amazing couple who trusted me through all of it.
It wasn’t the wedding we originally planned.
It was better in a different way.
It was a reminder that weddings aren’t about everything going perfectly. They’re about celebrating love, even when the plans have to change.
And as a wedding coordinator, I couldn’t be more proud to say:
We did everything we could to make their “I do” happen. 🌺🤍
