My fiance and I are planning a wedding in July in France (near Paris) and we are looking for a person to help us with management of the agenda on our wedding day.
While, we've tried searching for wedding planners, we've really struggled to find someone that would fit our expectations and match with our style. Most focus on creating a "luxury", "customized", and "magical" experience for a "dream" wedding and were unwilling to help us with just the coordination of the day itself and management of the agenda/schedule.
So to clarify, we're looking for help with the following:
- Manage the agenda on the day of the wedding; ensure the wedding day runs on schedule
- Usher guests to events throughout the day (all events take place at one compound...just make sure they walk from one area to another)
- Coordinate with the venue to ensure they move decorations/equipment during the day (e.g., sound system from area of the ceremony to dance area)
- Provide coordination and support to key vendors - e.g., tell the live band where they should set up, etc.
- Answer guests' questions about logistics and the agenda; help with basic requests (e.g., ordering a taxi in french)
- Have a few calls with us ahead of the wedding to discuss logistics and prep for the day
Our requirements
- Strong project management skills
- Ability to work with different types cultures and personalities (wedding guests will be extremely multi-cultural)
- Responsiveness, diligence, attention to detail
- Fluency in French is required
- Fluency in Portuguese is preferred but not required
- Ability to travel to France and be at the wedding venue on 22 July 2017 (terms of expense for travel expenditures to be discussed/negotiated)
Lastly, as you probably noticed, we're a bit "no nonsense" and we'd like you to have this attitude as well. We're approaching this wedding more as a project and we're not really looking for a lot of "fluffy" day-dreaming about a "magical", "dream", "unicorn" (fill in any other expensive adjective here) wedding. Our priority is to enjoy time with our family and friends while minimizing stress and distractions caused by logistics.
