Blushed Elegance Events
WEDDING PLANNERS | COORDINATORS | DESIGNERS
First let me introduce myself
I'm Megan, the owner and lead wedding planner of Blushed Elegance Events. I have been planning weddings for six years. I started out in the business doing this all by myself and let's just say... that was stressful.
I defiantly over worked myself many many times. Once I became a mom, I knew I could not do this alone. I need to expand and find my group and share in the success.
My goal as a business owner is to create a safe and non-stressful space where my planners actually enjoy working and want to take on many weddings. I am in this for the long run as this is my full-time job and I hope to find a group who want to be a part of my team for the long run too.
I want my business to be the best, so that starts by hiring the best. Just having the passion for this industry is the first step. Then continuing to learn to become better each time is the second.
Below I have taken the time to put together everything you would ever need to know about the job, the perks and the positions we hire and are always looking for. If you ever thought about this type of work, we would love to have you!
About the job
The very first thing you should know is we ONLY service
weddings at this time.
We are a onsite/at home company.
If you are planning weddings or doing event designs, you can work straight from home. The weekend of the wedding you would travel to our couple's location to service them. But we will get more into this later below.
We provide many services from event design, planning and month of coordination.
If you are looking to expand your services and outreach of clients, we do have more opportunities as well for you to learn and grow.
We typically work wedding season meaning May-October. We do have a few weddings November-April, but they are not as often.
My goal as your boss is to make sure you are happy. And typically, people who are making money working for me are happy.
As a Blushed Elegance Planner
We try to make your job easy!
Megan is in charge of finding and booking weddings, the contracts, and payments.
This means that your job is to take the weddings you want, work with your clients and have fun!
We use the app Connecteam and HoneyBook, it is free to download and use. This is a calendar/scheduling app and client portal app: where all of our booked weddings are ready to be requested and worked by you!
One thing important to us is contracts, each season we renew planner contracts, this keeps our business safe and your interests as a planner safe.
Once you are a part of the team, (depending on your position) we take the next few weeks to train you, that way you feel comfortable as a planner.
Pay is commission based.
Basically, the more weddings you take the more money you will make.
Positions Avaliable
The first thing to know is we understand that everyone has to start somewhere.
So please don't think that just because you are new or have never done this that you cannot work for us, because that is not true! No matter where you are at in your career, we would love the chance to chat with you about your career with us!
Like we said the very first thing a planner needs to make it in this type of industry is the passion if you have that you will succeed.
We hire wedding planners, wedding coordinators, event designers and event assistants.
To learn more about each position see the next section below.
Positions Explained
Wedding Planner
A wedding planner is someone who plans a wedding, helps guide the couple to make their dreams come true. This person has to be very detailed oriented, organized and professional.
It is important to note that you can typically only plan one wedding per weekend.
Planners make 80% commission of our listed services prices.
Month of Coordinator
As a month of coordinator, you will be responsible for working with your clients 8 weeks before their wedding day. Helping them finish up the last-minute planning details, managing vendors and putting together a timeline for the wedding day. On the wedding day you are responsible for managing all vendors, setting up the wedding, keeping the timeline and tearing down the wedding.
It is important to note that you can only take one month of coordination client per weekend.
Coordinators make 80% commission of our listed service price.
Event Designer
An event designer talks with the couple about their dream wedding, reviews their budget and creates mood boards for the client to look over and review. Once the client has picked out aspects of each section, the designer would create the final mood board along with a list of vendors who could provide the services and how to make this come to life for the couple.
With this service you can take as many clients no matter their wedding day.
Designers make 80% commission of our listed service price.
Event Assistant
Not ready to commit to full time hours of work? Not a problem as an event assistant, it is your job to help the lead planner/coordinator set up the wedding day. Typically, event assistants work 2-4 hours.
Event Assistants make $300 per wedding
Expectations
Remember I said we want to be the best company?
Well, in order to achieve that goal, we have to have certain policies and expectations in place. Our couples book us and continue to book us because of these expectations and standards.
Dress Code
One thing that I believe sets us apart from other similar companies is that I want us to be identifiable, professional and unified.
We provide to you, your first shirt with our company logo. As far as the rest of the dress code goes, think professional and mainly black. So nice black, or dark colored dress pants, longer skirts and longer shorts. I do allow my planners to wear unripped jeans.
Making sure your hair is nicely kept with a fresh face. The one thing to note is at all times you could possibly be photographed or on video. So dressing professional and being professional is KEY!
Professionalism
We expect our planners to show up at least 20 minutes before the start time to set up and act professional the entire time you are servicing clients. Having a great attitude with each encounter will always leave an impression not only for our team but for you as a person.
