And keeping the client's mind sane haha. Top 5% is tough, but in my book, dependability, reliability and keeping the client’s vision in mind. And keeping the client’s mind sane haha.

Hmmm top 5%... I think it's the ability to listen to what your clients want and evision and then apply your skills and experience without losing their vision to make the entire experience: from hello, to the the last dance, a successful and enjoyable process for everyone involved. It takes balance to be able to understand what's most important to your client and then make it your mission to get everything done without compromising the schedule and the other vendors involved. All while smiling! hehe Congrats!

Congrats! Now for the Top 5% thing: I think what qualifies a vendor as a top 5% vendor is their ability to stay professional and make everything go flawless no matter HOW they are feeling for the day (ahem..remember you were as sick as a dog for my wedding and I HAD NO CLUE!) kind of what makes people successful in the corporate world, "leave your bagagge at the door, and pick it up on your way out" meaning don't bring your personal problems to the workplace, deal with them when you are OUT of there.. YAY!!! Congrats!

Every wedding is different and every couple is different, and a fabulous coordinator (like you) makes a comittment to listen, understand, and carryout that couples perfect vision as they see it. SOmetimes this might mean (as in my case) bringing to life every one of the million minute details my control freak self envisioned. At other times it might be helping a couple to really flesh and out an articulate their dream, but eaither way a top 5% coordinator is comitted to finding and creating the day their client DREAMS of!

When you feel like someone really cares about your big day, you feel that much more comfortable leaving it in their hands. :o) Passion – I think you can tell when vendors truely love what they do and aren’t just doing it for a paycheck.

I'm so excited for you and I DEFINITELY feel that you deserve it! (and so lucky that I snapped you up!) If I were to pick only 1 reason that would put a wedding vendor up to the top 5%...it would be, without a doubt: The ability show that he/she/they care about their client. Reason: During a very stressful time (such as wedding planning), it means a lot to just have a listening ear. Vendor's obviously have many clients, so I'm not talking about becoming bff's...but being responsive and really listening to what the client wants is a BIG BIG deal. and YOU, my dear, have this in spades, so you display that badge with pride! =P GAH…i’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to do my daily “drive-bys”…and so happy to find your post for today!
