Who has them? And how will it affect my wedding?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> </span></o:p></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">I get asked these questions ALL the time! So it only seems appropriate that I address them today.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> </span></o:p></p><o:p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">What exactly is a preferred vendor list?<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Preferred vendor lists can be a couple of things. First, it is a list that an event planner “works off” of to recommend their clients to. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153"><o:p><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> </span></o:p></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">How does a vendor “get” on a vendor list?<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Theoretically, they should be on the “list” because they are the best value for their dollar. Notice, I did not say the “C” word (cheap) as I can’t stand that word. This is all about a value. For me, the I do not have “list” that someone just gets added to. The vendor needs to have either worked with me or have an outstanding reputation in the industry (and yes, all event people talk so we know what everyone is up to. Although we take the “talk” with a grain of salt, do know that if you start hearing the same bad things over and over again, one grain of that salt “must” be true . Therefore, it is not appealing to risk my reputation on that). You would be shocked at the number of phone calls that come into our office asking “how do I get on your list”. Well, since it is common question, and we are not into “selling space” on our “list”, the best thing for you to do is do your job, do it WELL, work hard, be prompt, don’t abuse the system and your business will succeed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153"><o:p><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> </span></o:p></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">How will the vendor list affect my wedding?<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">If your consultant/planner/vendor recommends other vendors (i.e. they are on a fictional list), that person is willing to put their reputation on the line. Being that weddings are a one shot deal (well in most cases…), a bad recommendation can ruin the wedding and put the said person in an awkward position with their client. Therefore the “list” is guarded very closely. ALSO—If a consultant is operating their business on a “kick back” premise (this means they get paid by the client AND the vendor), the list might not be in your best interest since the consultant would only be taking you to vendors who are going to pay them. They are not looking for the best value for your dollar so you will want to keep a heads up on that issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> </span></o:p></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Quote of the Blog<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of itself” ~ Dwight L.

Not weddings but life. This is a little odd for me since I feel most people coming to a wedding consultants blog will want to read about weddings. Trust me, there are enough wedding blogs where consultants showcase their work and that is fantastic. But sometimes there needs to be more. What is that consultant about? who are they as a person? and why are they truly doing this as a profession? These are very important questions each bride needs to answer. Therefore I am going to start to do this or maybe something of the sort. Welcome to unconventionality!<br /><br />Being an event/wedding planner does have many perks, however it also has its downs. Over the past 20 or so years, I have learned how to be a better person. Through working with the bride on her most special day, you truly realize one of the many marvels of life. Passion. I have been able to find passion in what I do and I truly believe that you need to be passionate about life. If your passion is sitting in a cube job and answering phones during the day for 30 years so you can retire, more power to you. I personally would be on the brink of suicide. I cannot imagine doing the same thing day in and day out and hating going to work. My job is fun because I make it fun. I have had the distinct pleasure of seeing some bat sh** crazy things happen at weddings. I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting almost every type of bride there is out there (notice I do say almost since, well , quite frankly I am constantly given new opportunities to deal with special brides). Why do I smile about this since weddings are not always puppy dogs and rainbows? I have a unique quality of being able to make the best of a situation. The reason why I say that it is unique is because I have come to learn that many people to not have it. I could be stuck in a funeral home and most likely make friends with everyone (if you are getting my sense of humor-- that means the people are dead). Why? because just the thought of sitting amongst dead people would depress the heck out of me! You make the best of what you are given. No one will make your life better for you, except you. If you do not like what life has dealt you, then move on and find something else. Life is too short to be upset!<br /><br />I try to begin each day with the feelings I had on my wedding day. Passion, love, excitement, happy fear of the unknown, adventure and fun. It is possible to say that "well today will be a sucky day" and then it most certainly will. We are in control of our own destiny. On the days that I wake up in a bad mood, my husband and kids are in a bad mood, my clothes look awful, my email will not work, the car is falling apart, and my hair is sticking out all over. So how is it that the days when my attitude is bad, everything is bad? Well, I can only believe that I dictate how my day will be. By losing the passion, excitement, love, adventure, fun and the happy fear of the unknown, I have predetermined myself to miss out on the best things in life! I will miss the joy of my husband, kids and my personal successes. Man that is a big thing to miss out on. It is not easy so do not think that "well she is just one happy freakin' ray of sunshine" because that is not true. I feel that I make a conscious decision to take on my day and be the best person I can be. That one small act will make the most extraordinary impact on your day.<br /><br />Make sure you are extremely aware of your surroundings. That will allow you to internalize the most crazy of craziest things! There is always going to be someone better than you, wealthier than you, skinnier than you, fatter than you etc. but if you are no dead, you are contributing something to society. I was at the grocery store the other day when there was a bagger packing groceries. He thought it was a good idea to pack break underneath cans of soup. The customer went nuts on him. She said insults that were so impressive I had to listen. Sure, he should have thought about how he was packing the groceries (afterall it is his job) but I truly wanted to record her on my phone since the insults rolled off her tounge. As I carried on through my day, I looked at the silver lining and thought "well at least I do not have to go home with that lady tonight" and I hugged my husband as he walked through the door. See, you have many opportunities during the day to see life. Good/bad/indifferent? That truly does not matter. It will allow you to appreciate what you have and how you can be a better person.<br /><br />So, I will wrap up my first entry patting myself on the back (since that is quite frankly what consultant blogs do:)). I had a wedding featured on the Style Me Pretty Blog. Go to Ashley and Drews wedding. It was in November 2009 at Laguna Gloria Art Museum and it was pretty fantastic! Sure, it was a bang out event-- but most importantly, they were a truly unique couple. What I appreciated most about them was that although there was a fantastic wedding planned, paid for and executed, they truly had passion for each other and I look forward to attending their 50th anniversary party.Amy's Platinum Internshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07000436597124235979noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479502184008813300.post-52502316386484398972010-03-04T11:57:00.000-08:002010-03-04T17:04:55.206-08:00March Madness Meeting...!<div style="text-align: left;">As always, our monthly NEAWP meetings are a great time and a wonderful way to meet new wedding professionals as well as hang out with good friends.

At our February meeting, we had some "little" guest speakers who spoke to our large group for their very first time! Noah Mader and Garrett Abeel are the captains of the Austin Firebats Baseball Team. They are raising money for equipment and tournament fees (short term goal) and money for their trip to play in the 12 U tournament in Cooperstown, NY in 2011. The Austin Firebats and their families are hosting a rodeo trip to the Austin Rodeo. All the information regarding the rodeo is listed at <a href="http://www.firebatsbaseball.com/rodeo.cfm">www.firebatsbaseball.com/rodeo.cfm</a>. If you have never been to the rodeo, it is a worthwhile experience! Here is a brief synopsis:<br />1. We are going to the rodeo on Monday March 15th. The concert entertainment is Gary Allen.<br />2. The preparty begins at noon- 10133 Planters Woods Drive Austin Texas 78730- The Mader Residence.<br />3. Buses will arrive at 4pm and return to Planters Woods at 11pm.<br />4. Everyone is invited- Kids and Adults (you just need to keep track of your own chickens)<br />5. All ticket sales will go through the Firebats website. The funds will directly go to the Firebats Baseball Team.<br />6. Tickets are limited to the first 100. After we reach 100 (we had 78 in 2009), a waiting list will start. If we need a third bus, we will get one.<br /><br />We are not selling popcorn, cookies, candy bars or wrapping paper. With your ticket you will get a evening of fun while helping out this group of kids attain their dream in select baseball!<br /><br />If you would like to make a donation and not attend, you can do that as well!<br /><br />Best-<br />Amy and Matt MaderAmy's Platinum Internshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07000436597124235979noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479502184008813300.post-70539752190822088932010-02-11T09:16:00.000-08:002010-02-11T09:48:07.352-08:00Growing, Learning, and Giving<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCR9Xp2Nv8d6NG1bmwt5D0XdFQj91-aFPKCmIQ4BskN5ttmcRtD0NSB9HOq-3m5N2isX61wjiVCXhKr8O5lBYQEClAh6aBsQDN6NPyDGGoa2ztDnBGzSN3V6cSEALJRRIoBg07LDixd0I/s1600-h/DMP-NEAWP-0001-0016.jpg"></a><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Our latest focus for </span></span><a href="http://www.associationofweddingprofessionals.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">NEAWP</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> this year is to select a charity every month and provide support for each organization.
