A Day In the Life...
November 21, 2017
Ever since "The Wedding Planner" with Jennifer Lopez, wedding planner's careers have been seen as glamorous and fabulous! Though this is true, there is a lot of hard work behind the scenes that makes those perfect wedding days...perfect.
As a mom of an 8 month old, 2 crazy pups AND owner of Em Devaud Events, life gets pretty crazy! I am also an avid marathoner, kick-boxer and a baker. With all of these plates in the air, many have asked, "How do you do it, Em?" Well the simple answer is coffee-- it is ALWAYS coffee!!! Kidding... though it is a tough work/life balance.

On any given day there are countless emails, various phone calls and behind the scene edits that are taking up most of my time. I generally break my day into 4 parts:
1) The Emails-- I set aside certain times every day to run through my inbox to ensure no email gets overlooked
2) The Calls-- I try to arrange these at the most quiet times during the day to ensure 100% focus on my clients
3) The Personal Life--Yes...even wedding planners have ton do the laundry
4) and The Timelines-- This is the time when I comb through my client timelines ensure that they are accurate and correct
Because every day brings with it both structure and surprises, flexibility is key! Sometimes I have to answer emails with my son on my lap or skip my Personal Life altogether :-)
The most paramount value to me, as a business owner, is having clients who are well taken care of and happy. So making myself available to my brides is a huge value in my life. My husband always jokes that my clients are more like my "bride babies" and I like to take care of them as I would my own munchkin.
When it comes down to it, a true day in the life of a planner involves, a lot of passion, some well timed phone calls and a yes...a lot of coffee :-)
