SOS THE CORONAVIRUS HAS AFFECTED MY WEDDING! THANKS TO OUR WEDDING PLANNER WE ARE STAYING CALM.
Our hearts go out to all those people who’s lives have been affected, in one way or another, by Covid-19. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER AND BE STRONGER THAN EVER!
Faced with this extremely dramatic and sad situation in which we find ourselves all over the planet, the events sector has been greatly affected with almost all WEDDINGS and EVENTS scheduled for spring and summer 2020 being cancelled.
Without knowing HOW or WHEN “normal life” will return, it is now that your Wedding Planner will become your Guardian Angel…because they will be the one to take charge of contacting all of your providers and arranging to everything to rebooked for your new wedding date. And believe me…despite being a lot of work, they will be happy to go through all the options available so that you don’t have to worry…its all part of the job.
In response to the doubts that couples raise about cancelling their wedding, we want to reassure all those couples who are now facing this, PLEASE DON’T WORRY, although it may appear to be complicated to postpone your wedding, it is easier than it seems.
a) First, your Wedding Planner will need to coordinate, on your behalf, the cancellation of your initial wedding date with the different suppliers hired: Catering, photographer, DJ, hairdresser, florist … do not forget how important this part is, as there will be suppliers who already have much of the material ready or commissioned for your wedding!!
b) Your Wedding Planner will let you know what dates are available for next year for the key elements of your wedding; church, venue and catering.
c) IT’S A GOOD TIME TO BE POSITIVE, REGROUP AND DECIDE ON A NEW DATE! At this point, you must not be sad…it’s time to be POSITIVE that you have the opportunity to choose a new date. More and more weddings are held on the Costa de Sol each year as we enjoy fantastic temperatures and have 325 days a year on sunshine. Also, don’t rule out autumn and winter weddings….they have a special charm and are wonderful!!!
d) Tell your guests the new weddings date and insist that your greatest wish is that they can all attend. A wedding seems to us the best way to celebrate that all this is finally over.
e) Postpone your honeymoon. One of the sectors most affected is the tourism sector. Don’t cancel your trip, postpone it. Postpone it to another date, combine vacation days, come to an agreement with your work and take your honeymoon at another time.
f) What do we do with the decorations we had hired for the wedding? DON’T WORRY, any materials and decorations that have already been ordered and made can be saved for the new date. Caterers and florists do not buy their goods that far in advance, so this will not be a problem. Yes, the invitations already sent out will have to be redone but think of this as an opportunity to change the design if that provides inspiration for your new date and look at prices with other suppliers!!!
