Are You Prepared For Disaster...Even On YOUR Special Day???

For those of us living on the East Coast we have experienced two natural disasters in less than 7 days and to say it's wrecked a little havoc would be an understatement.  We've been caught off guard by an earthquake with a 5.8 magnitude followed by Hurricane Irene which forced us all to immediately gather our families, emergency supplies and prepare our homes for the worst.  But what if your wedding or other special event is scheduled during such a time when Mother Nature is so unpredictable?  What are you supposed to do when you've spent months pouring over exquisite details for your treasured day? 

HAVE YOU CAN CONSIDERED WEDDING INSURANCE?

With more than 15 years of experience in special events, I'd like to think of myself as a seasoned professional.  However there may be times when even the best planner needs to have an even better contingency plan for life's unexpected challenges because as strange as it seems sometimes there are challenges that we just can't avoid.

  Imagine it...you've finally selected the most beautiful garden location ever or you're dreaming of a Winter Wonderland but within the week of your most special day the forecast suddenly calls for a downpour!  Or what do you do if the Winter Wonderland that you imagined is right outside your door buried under 4-ft of snow?  What are you going to do now?  Can you even handle any more stress?  Probably not if you've decided to DIY your entire event.  Make no mistake there is nothing wrong with wanting to take a hands on approach to your event planning but bear in mind that you may spend months, days and long hours to assure all goes smoothly for the "big" event, perhaps even referring to the infamous Farmer's Almanac for added weather security.  But let's be honest, do YOU really have the energy to create a back-up event plan so closely to your day?
