It Only Just Begins With I Do

This weekend’s wedding caused me to stop a moment and consider what it is we do as caterers and what impact our role plays in this momentous occasion. The journey of planning a wedding is a long and arduous one, made slightly easier with the help of an event planner, but the pay off on the day is indescribable. At J. Scott Catering we build lasting relationships with couples over the months before the vows, cake cutting and dancing. As event planners we see them throughout the process often after hair and makeup trials or to pick up linen samples for color matching at the bridal salon. We guide them on tips about seating arrangements and help plan the timeline for day’s events. J. Scott planners can be found mending dresses in the middle of the reception, organizing bridal parties for introductions and making sure that each and every detail down to the pen for the guest book, is exactly as the bride requested.
When the big day finally arrives, while we watch as they enjoy the splendors of their love, there is a sigh of sadness that can be heard from every J. Scott Catering planner. As the night comes to a close, we realize there won’t be any more once a week chats about china, and the sleepless nights and anticipation of pulling off their dream quickly dissipates. Alas, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
The end of the wedding doesn’t mean the relationship is over. Often times we work with couples through the years, catering baby showers and christenings, communions and close friends weddings too. In reality we aren’t just planning or catering a wedding, we are building a lasting relationship with a couple, one that is only just beginning with I do.
