Last Thursday was my first event with Charmed Weddings! I had an amazing time and truly loved helping decorate this event! It was a long day, but I loved every second of it. I met my bosses at 1230 at their office so we could carpool all the way to Tarpon Bay in Marco Island. The venue was at Tarpon Bay on the beach that had a beautiful Floridian feel to it. We got started right away with decorations and the set up! I helped pick out the centerpieces two days before so I was super-excited to see how they turned out! The whole day the clouds were building and creating a dark ominous feeling over the whole beach. Nobody was going to rain on my parade and so we kept on decorating praying the clouds would break-up. Right before people started to get there, the clouds finally drifted and the party atmosphere was completed by the stunning sunset on the water. Once the decorations were in place, the guests started to arrive and The Charmed Girls and I started our Photo booth for the guests. The party-goers were good sports and dressed up in the luau themed accessories we gave them and took gorgeous pictures with the beach in the background. We raced to get these pictures developed while the guests were still enjoying their meals so they could have a memory to take home with them. When we arrived back at the venue from developing the pictures the fire dancing performers had already started and the guests were in awe! This was the first time I had ever seen a fire dancer and I was impressed myself! At the end of the event their were shouts and praise of how this was the best event they have attended!
It felt so amazing to know that I helped create this amazing experience for someone. Coordinating events is creating experiences and memories that people will remember for a life-time. I feel like I have taken the right path in my career life by interning at an events coordinating company! I want to create these experiences for people through planning!
