Wedding Management:

A smart way of tying the knot

For those who want to convert their son or daughter’s wedding into a memorable and a praiseworthy event, there is something very happening and exciting. Just as events are being organized systematically and without any failure, one can hire wedding planners and event management companies to manage the entire wedding in a very systematic, impressive and decent manner.

Beginning from the engagement ceremony till the last rituals of the marriage, the wedding planners or the event managers plan and organize all the functions of the wedding. The best advantage of this is we don’t need to bother ourselves and our entire family in arrangements of various functions, food, transportation, decoration, hospitality of the guests and so many things. Also there are no chances of mismanagement or forgetting something very important which otherwise could be possible in such a big and one time event like wedding.

At the same time, we get so much over engaged in various functions and ceremonies of the marriage that we can’t enjoy the event and still we can’t claim that we were perfect in everything. Because of lack of planning or unawareness, we commit many silly mistakes and then repent the whole life for that.

But these professionals not only help us in managing the whole event systematically but also make it a memorable event by their extra efforts, knowledge & experience and creativity. After hiring them, one can depend upon them and can actively participate and enjoy the different programmes of the marriage. Moreover, the entire wedding is so nicely arranged and managed by these professionals that brings praises and applauds from all the guests and relatives.

Event is an exclusive media and it works on the basis of exclusive theme towards fixed objectives. It’s just a form of communication or live media which is used by corporates, academics and everybody for systematic and planned implementation of project.

The points at which wedding planners work upon are inviting guests, hospitality, transportation and escorting arrangements for the guests, finalizing the venue and proposed venue decoration, ambience, event recording, catering, parking, printing and purchase, specific requirements as per the theme and functions and miscellaneous.

Apart from these basic services, by keeping in view the increasing craze for the wedding management the planners have come up with new attractive services like special escort vehicles for the guest, theme based party arrangement, faculty arrangement for functions like ladies sangeet and mehandi, offering guests with chocolate and dry fruit treys, bouquets, wedding chart in hotels or boarding places, special entertainment shows like stand up comedy, play enactment, singing and dance shows by celebrities, Bar arrangement, dancing floors, spot lights and music on demand etc.

Owner of an event Management Company Atul Jain says –“The themes most liked by the people are blue theme, Arabean or jewish theme, traditional shahi theme, village theme as per the different states of India, flower based- nature theme and apart from this, the planners discuss with the family members and plan a theme as per their programmes and interests.

Like if we talk about ladies sangeet, the planners arrange the faculty (trainer) 15 days or a month before and then a celebrity or disc jockey is being invited as per the budget. They decide the theme, all the dance numbers and programmes according to the choice and interests of the family members who rehearse and prepare the entire programme as if it is a stage show. Thus, we can find everything well managed and highly impressive.”

Event manager Rahul sharmastated that now-a-days, not only big industrialists and millionaires are hiring wedding managers or planners, but common service class people are also taking interest and are bearing the expenses for the sake of systematic and planned wedding of their dear ones.

Before wedding management, it is very important to understand 5 C’s of event and so we train our staff accordingly so that we can provide best services to our clients.

Also the wedding planners give a lot of importance to the ambience and decoration of the venue or wedding place specially stage and mandap decoration. In the decoration mainly colourful drapes, fresh flowers and suitable lights are used in such a manner that they perfectly match with theme and mood. Even the music is so chosen that it goes with all the theme and decoration.

The wedding planners also take care of convenience of guests and for this they make arrangements to escort guests, sitting dinner and round table restaurant like arrangement, standing heaters in winters, wide range of menu etc.

Finally on the basis of all these things they make optimum use of available resources and with the help of active and creative staff, they convert a simple marriage into a perfect, memorable and amazing event.
