My favorite place to be is with the people I love - which is probably why I’ve been planning events for family and friends for over 30 years. From birthday parties and baby showers to graduations and family get-togethers, I’ve always found joy in bringing people together. But, if I'm being honest, the pressure I feel on the day of an event makes me miss all the special moments with my guests. I rarely have time to even sit down and chat with my guests as I refill the food and drinks, organize the next activity, and make sure everyone is having fun.
Having a perfect event is anything but effortless.
Before my daughter, Rachel, got engaged in 2023, I had helped coordinate weddings for family and friends, and loved being part of these special days. When Rachel and I started planning her wedding and we were a few months from the big day, it became clear that we needed someone to step in on the wedding day, tie it all together, and make sure everything ran smoothly and that Rachel's vision was perfectly executed. But instead of hiring a day of coordinator, I called on my sisters to handle the day of details so I could bask in the glow of my daughter's happiness. My sisters were guests who should have been enjoying the festivities but instead were responsible for helping the day run smoothly. I still regret that decision.
