She chews on gnocchi with zucchini, tomatoes, and a creamy lemon sauce. during What You Chewin’. Here are the key takeaways from the Main Event: Who is Julie? Julie started as a planner because of her love for planning weddings. But she truly started learning from her experience with event planning while working at a nonprofit. After getting married in 2018, she took the leap to start her business shortly after. She offers services for both planning and coordinator. The difference here is with planning vs coordinating is Julie is way more involved with the details of the event. As with coordinating she may start about 8 weeks out from the wedding to really pull the final touches together.  Most of the full planning clients come to Julie without the date or the venue. How are you pivoting with your couples? “We are holding on and hanging out for the best. We are trying to keep everyone as calm as possible,” Julie said about her experience.  There’s a 2021 wedding boom. Because venues are so booked because of 2020, it has been referred to as the wedding boom.  What was wedding planning like in a pandemic? Though her average wedding range was 15-25, she only planned three weddings during 2020. “I know when you start a business, the third year is kind of your benchmark, but with 2020 that got threw out of the water,” Julie explained. All the venue staff is masked, the coordinators are masked, and even the guests must be masked. The couple was able to not wear masks. More rural Missouri had no mask mandates. Some couples have even moved their weddings to rural Missouri to get away from wearing masks. Trends Micro-weddings are now a thing. Some people call them small weddings. The technical number is under 15 people, but some couples have under 100 guests to their wedding.  Julie has noticed there’s a lot more RSVP than usual. It’s more like 5% of people that decline over the average 15%. How did the bride and groom cope during this time? “ I have to give them such huge credits because they (my bride and groom) just took it with so much grace," Julie describes.   What is the role of a coordinator? The coordinator works with all people involved from the venue to the caterer, the couple, and even the family. This role also puts out “fires”. A coordinator has the resources and the connections with local venues, photographers, DJs, etc. in case of an issue.
