DAY 6
We can’t do a #TCJ12daysofblessings without showing love to #TCJCorporate.
.
From creating customer experiences (with the help of some really crazy friends 😂) to helping open new locations or displays at events.
.
We worked with existing clients and welcomed new ones! 😍
.
Most times our “gram feed” shows love to weddings but in the background our team is just as busy helping our corporate clients achieve their business objectives. Events help support marketing objectives and we’re always happy to work to get those checked off our clients “to-do” list! .
For those opportunities we are also eternally grateful! 🙏🏾
.
.
.

DAY 5
Themes and personalities!
One thing's for sure, our clients are not all created equal!
Their style.
Their tastes.
Their preferences.
Definitely helps to keep things interesting!
.
Most times we ask, do you have a theme and it's "not really, I just know what colours I want to use!" At the end of a conversation though, one thing that sure shine through is personality!
.
#TCJ12DaysOfBlessings acknowledges the flare of our clients. They help us to maintain our aim of personalising each event, even if there are similar elements. Bring your uniqueness to your event. Dare to be different. Dare to be you!

DAY 3⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the biggest things that challenges most couples is their guest list!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who to invite or not to invite⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who you want there vs. who your parents want there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who you think wants to be invited vs who you need to invite.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The scenarios go on and on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The advice we give our clients comes from experience.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year I could have also spoken from recent personal experience. (Not that I doubted my advice before in any way at all 😂).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How did I manage to get married very quietly. 🤐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How did I manage a guest list of under 50. 🙃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How did I stay calm when something major appeared to have been going wrong. 😩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#TCJ12DaysofBlessings is leaning on personal experience to continue to help our clients. I shared my learnings in my blog "When the Planner becomes the Bride". Click on the link our bio or send us a message and we'll send the link over to you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I'll happily answer those questions above in our consultation! 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

DAY 2⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year we introduced Planning Consultations into our suite of services. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We appreciate that some persons want to plan on their own but just need a jump start and a road map with the option for a “pit stop” along the way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes you need someone else (who knows a little more than average..lol) to say what you already have in your head for confirmation that it’s ok to do things the way YOU want to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#TCJ12DaysOfBlessings continues with the feedback we have received from those who sat with us. One word always came out: helpful. That's all we aim to do...help! 😊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We look forward to doing so many more chats with you in 2019! To schedule your consultation click on the link in our bio.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. Are you as organised as our bride here..planning binder and all? #LoveIt⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We’re taking it back to our first bride for 2018! 😊
.
This story is part of our #tcj12daysofblessings because it’s one that most of you tell and I was happy that Danielle agreed to share it on camera with me! *swipe left*
.
Like most brides she started planning on her own and after a bad experience with trying to book a venue she decided that she didn’t want that stress of planning but still wanted her very “detail oriented” day to happen how she hoped!
.
A sit down with me and off we were with a little less than a year to go!
.
We are grateful when clients trust us to get it all done and it’s not something we take lightly! 🤗.
.
If this is you going into 2019, it’s not to late to reach out to us for help!
.
Danielle (and Ryan) thank you for allowing us to be a part of your life story and for also forming part of our story - edition 2018! 🤗

As we wind down 2018...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We spent some time today looking back at our calendar at all the experiences we would have created/been a part of!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All we can say is THANK YOU!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To You!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We don't need to wait till the end of the year to do that!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're going to do a rewind of some of those highlights as we prepare to go into 2019! We're calling it #TCJ12DaysofBlessings⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Pantone has announced the colour for 2019!
And it’s ...Living Coral!
This bride might have been onto something a year ago! 🙃
(And they thought she was crazy! 💅🏽)
.
It’s a gorgeous colour and can be used as the main star or the perfect accent as it was with this colour palette for this wedding!
.
Is coral part of your colour palette for your wedding/event?
.
Can’t wait to see how event designers use it in their executions! 😍

👰🏾:🙃

So you're engaged and the world knows, which means Kelly from down the street, Paul and Denise from the office ANNNDDDD Liz your hairdresser will be expecting an invitation. 😣😣 .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you say no without any bad feelings? 🤔🤔 . We're thinking right about now, a weekday wedding sounds pretty good.... 😊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are 3 pros for having a weekday wedding:
#1 - Savings! Most venues have reduced rates for weekdays which will help you save money for other wedding items like flowers and décor.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#2 - Availability! You will have more venues and dates to choose from when it comes to booking your ceremony and reception space as well as your vendors.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#3 - Low Key! Weekday weddings can take a little pressure off of everybody and help you have a more INTIMATE, relaxing day with those you love.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How does this sound?

P.S. This was a very special Friday wedding! See, not even your pics will discriminate. .

"With only the location secured 3 weeks before the wedding, involving a coordinator seemed to be the most logical/safe (thing to do)."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Does this sound like your situation? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It can be stressful planning. Planning whilst you're not in the same country? 💆‍♀️ 💆‍♂️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Few actually love the thrill of it! 😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For most of you though who are "just not about that", and want to be safe like K&J, send us an email at events@tcjmanagement.com.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are often told finding the right vendors, or just getting them to reply in a timely manner is sometimes the most frustrating part! 🤭⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The good thing is we know how to work around all of that!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

WHAT DOES YOUR COORDINATOR DO?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Make all the difficult decisions when they creep up on the day so you don't have to⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Deal with the people who TRY to be difficult so you don't have to⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Makes decisions on the spot to keep things running smoothly so you don't have to⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Whisper words of comfort in that moment when you may need to hear it. "Don't worry I will see about it."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- *Insert everything our package says we do*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In a "good cop/bad cop" situation, to some we may be the bad cop, but for you we will always be the good cop!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And in our book that's all that matters...you! 🤗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There may be things you are wondering if we will also do. Let’s talk about it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Send us a message here or email us at events@tcjmanagement.com and we'll happily answer your question.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
