Short Notice Success!


In the 20 plus years I've been planning weddings and events I've worked on many short notice weddings, but none as short notice as Les and Carrie's 2 week notice wedding. I didn't have time to wait a week to get a signed contract and payment so I had to trust that everything would fall into place and begin working immediately if I was to accomplish the task at hand. I didn't want to just accomplish the task, I wanted to make their special day just as wonderful as if we'd worked on it for months. I was extremely lucky to find that some of my very best vendors were available for their date. Before long I had a team of the very best working with me to make their special day the very best it could be.

Fifty of their closest family members and friends made the trip to Myrtle Beach to celebrate with the happy couple. They were serenaded by the beautiful sound of the steel drums that seemed to keep harmony with the waves and that combined with delicious food, great dinner and dance music and a gorgeous full moon and moonlight that danced off the waves made for a Grand Occasion indeed. In just two short weeks we successfully pulled together one of the nicest ceremonies and reception I have every coordinated. One of the main reasons we were so successful, besides being extremely lucky that some of my top vendors happened to have availability, was the trust and confidence the bride and mother of the bride put in Grand Occasions Inc. Thank you Carrie and Jolete for putting your trust in me, you were a joy to work with!

Congratulations Carrie & Les
&
Best Wishes for a Lifetime of Happiness!
