Eventista elucidates

I’m compiling a compendium of favorite quotes from event and wedding clients and would dearly love to include some of yours. Please send your doozies to info@adventuresofwedhead.com. Quotes must be verifiable as being, unfortunately, real.
I’ll start you off:
Bride presents planner with a photo of a wedding she ABSOLUTELY adores. In the photo are red floral centerpieces, red linens and chair back covers, red candles, and a red crystal chandelier hanging from a red draped ceiling. “Oh,” the planner says “we can definitely do this, not a problem at all, I just had no idea that you loved red so much.” Blank look from bride followed by, “No, I don’t want it in RED.”
Wealthy groom to planner upon seeing hotel estimate for food and beverage: “You obviously don’t get it, rich people don’t pay full price.”
Socialite upon receiving planner’s fee: “Who do you think you are, Robert Israel?”
***************************************************************************************************
***From My Over and Out posting- a few of you were confused by my obviously too obscure allusion to the “de rigeur wedding shoe photo.” I was referring to the absurd popularity of a photo of the bride’s Jimmy Choos, or Manolos sitting in the dappled sunlight before she puts them on, somehow I’ve missed the romantic aspect of this.

this is brilliant.
dumb client to planner (moi): does your planner fee include ALL food and drink?
(moi): i think there is a mis-understanding, i’m not a caterer, but i will help you find a wonderful caterer.
client: oh, i can’t pay you and the caterer. can you give me the caterer’s number?

You need to love a West Texas bride when she is quite pleased with herself (and sense of fashion) when she lets you know her gown is couture’. Thank the Lord she was not at Fashion Week when she pronounced it \koo-cher.\ Maybe you just had to be there.

How fun! I’m sure I can try to remember something funny and real.

” The wedding colors are cream, soft pink and a hint of soft green” according to the bride. She asked me for a rose suggestion, I showed her one similar to Sahara, which is cream, soft pink and soft hint of green all on the same rose. Like this, I asked ” yes, exactly like that, but not that color. ” ???? So I asked her what color she wanted? She said, ” that color and style of rose, but more pink and more cream and more green” So…not this rose AT ALL, right? Do you want a brighter color rose? ” no pale beige,pink with a hint of green” I showed her three varieties, before I finally told her that unless she was up for paint, this was the color they came in. Needless to say, that consultation didn’t go to far past that first hour. I am sure we can all relate.

“I’m a capitalist. I just think that these bands need to fight harder for the honor of playing at my wedding.”
I about bit my tongue in half. : )

My Platinum Wedding Bands is better than yours, said by two bffs in a double wedding.

A bride underestimated the budget for her Caribbean wedding and had cut costs one day before the wedding.
She know she had to keep the caterer, the venue, the flowers etc. She decide to eliminate the band and said “my guests will move to the sound of the ocean.”
