It has come to my attention that most girl who get married either love and enjoy every minute of the planning aspect or they hate every minute of it and would never do it again. The ones who enjoy every minute also feel as though they can become a wedding planner after planning their own wedding. Based on many husbands I've spoken with this is a phase some new brides go through until they get a reality check and realize "Oh Shit, it's not that easy because it's not what I want but what the bride wants, and I am not the bride this time" and so it just goes into the "Oh well screw it bad idea" file.
I, on the other hand, have never been married, but I have planned enough weddings for friends and family and attended enough (almost 100+ throughout my lifetime, 75 in the past 6 yrs approx) to know what goes into it and the personality and attitude required to make the business successful. Additionally, my obsession for fashion, flowers and planning events, which I must admit comes so pretty naturally, do help the situation so it just seemed like the perfect thing to do.
So as you all know, almost a year ago I had knee surgery with complications (just my luck), ended up leaving my job and recovery was taking a lot longer than expected which led me to be unemployed for almost 9 months. During this time, I attended all my events as normal (with a crutch and brace) and had a blast then with the encouragement of my fabulous friends and family decided to start my own event production company with my best friend who was in a similar situation as me.
So approximately 6-7 months ago, after planning events for over 10 years for friends, non-profits & family, my best friend and I finally decided to join forces and put our expertise to a more profitable use by creating Tres Magnifique Productions. It is an event design & coordination company and yes, our name is french and it means "It's Magnificent," which is how we believe every event should be. Our goal is to get into the corporate sector a lot more than the wedding sector but I love weddings so much I can't just do the corporate sector. I don't know what it is but I think seeing two people on their wedding day truly in love is the greatest feeling in the world, so we will not be leaving the wedding sector ever. We also plan Baptisms, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Corporate events, Proposals, Engagements, Baby and Bridal showers and anything else you want us to plan!
Since the day we dropped our business into the real world, we have had nothing but amazing support from our family and friends who gave us our first events to plan. We were beyond ecstatic and happy to plan these two events for both couples and honestly from the first day we knew this business was definitely our calling. Since then, events have been adding up which is great and we're always ready to take on new ones. We love working with the different clients and bringing each one of their visions to life. It truly gives us so much happiness knowing we helped them make their vision a reality, you do not even know. Yes, it takes a great deal of patience and understanding and sometimes you need to bring yourself back to reality with a quick "This is what the client wants, let it go just make it happen" to yourself but it is all worth it in the end. People usually do not realize what goes on into planning an event until they have to do it themselves and after that they appreciate every aspect of the planner and what she/he has to say. So with that being said, to anyone who needs a Wedding/Event planner, full day coordination, just design or "Day Of" Tres Magnifique Productions is here for you. Just give us a call and we will have everything organized and off your plate in no time!
We truly love and adore every second of what we do and there is nothing in the world which makes us happier than a sarisfied client!
Amore XOXO
