THE QUESTION IS ASSIGNED SEATING OR OPEN SEATING ( WE GET ASKED THIS ALL THE TIME )

OK BRIDES - Here is one of the questions we get asked about a lot in meetings and I thought I would share our view or expertise on the subject !

Should we do assign seating ? There are many different views on the subject but from a vendor view we would say YES !

Imagine you are have just planned  the most important day of your life and you want it to be perfect and go off with no problems ! You have invited 200 of your closest family and friends to a place they have never been to and a wedding where they do not know everyone !

Imgaine the ballroom is set with all the perfect linen and decor and it opens and there is no assigned seating - Well first of all family members end up  not getting a good view of the couple or prime seats with open seating ! Then you say well I will do reserve seating for a few tables - Great but here is the next problem -   Your parents and his parents get their tables but what about all those relatives that say we are family why are we sitting way in the back - This happens over and over and they are upset and want the planner or the dj or photographer to start asking people to move around so they can be closer -

Especially at a Latin or a ethnic wedding we highly suggest that assign seating is done only the fact is that people do get upset and want to be close to the newlyweds for thier big day ! Make sure and also give a seating list to your coordinator or your dj so when your guest can not find their seats we will have a list to help them find it !

This assign seating does not have to be a difficult thing to do - You get can pick up place cards at Target or at a local paper store in your area ! There are several websites you can go to that has ideas for this ! Even ask your venue sales lady what they have seen that works !

9/11/09 - we will never forget our friends !

Today brings much sad memories for our home ! Many people who do not know us well would never know that I flew for United for 10 years as a flight attendant out of Los Angeles ! When I left I left due to having children and not  feeling 100% safe onboard and knowing I had 2 small children at home  I decided to leave United which was a very hard decision ! On days like 9/11 I remember all my friends who I met over the years and the fun layovers and the jumpseat gossip we shared for so long ! I miss them dearly and I pray for all of you to get through this horrible day in the history of our country and United !   Keep your heads high and fly safe !  I remember where I was the day it happened and the feeling of my first trip back after 9/11 had happened and they had gotten the planes repositioned  for air travel to start again ! You could hear a mouse in the aisle - People did not say much or really just kept to themselves !   It was such a weird feeling and to think about it all these years later it still brings back those feelings I felt !

OUR FRIENDS JESSICA & JASON WEDDING ! WE LOVE YOU GUYS !

Juan' Best Friend Jason who he has know for years finally found the perfect one for him * JESSICA*  We just love her and Garret and could not be happier for them and can't wait to meet little Addison who is on the way !  Juan was so honored to be the best man at the wedding on Monday !  He had such a wonderful time meeting everyone's families and getting to know old friends and see people he had not seen in years !  Jessica's parents hosted a dinner on Saturday night at their lovely home overlooking the Pacific Ocean and had a taco chef come in a grill up taco's for all  the guest ! Sunday all the boys headed to Dodgers stadium via a rented bus to watch the Dodgers lose to the San Diego Padres - I know they had probably too much fun courtesy of a guy named Kurt ! Kurt gave a good show to all the fans and somehow got kicked out a few times at the ballgame ! The next day was the wedding at Occasions in El Segundo ( Jennifer the coordinator was awesome ) What a cute place to have a wedding and the garden was amazing that they have !

The wedding officiant Azere who is the friend of the newlyweds did something really cool I thought ! She wanted to marrying them with no shoes on so she could be close to the earth - I thought that wasdifferent and she also did something where she tied ribbons around their hands and made them one ! Overall it was a gorgeous ceremony and we loved being part of your special day ! To see more photos you can visit our FAce Book Site !
