For couples planning a wedding, this year was full of challenges. Had to adapt to the conditions - cancelled flights , change of dates , maybe even moved wedding date to unknown time; and – make difficult decisions. It is also a new experience for wedding organizers . What to do if planned wedding date rescheduling – LĪGAVĀM asked the wedding organizer Alisa Kolosova/ Boutique Event Planning .

The wedding date must be moved

• Alice Kolosova recommends listening to your heart and thinking about what are the most important things to keep in your at weddings and celebrations.
• There are couples who decide to get married in a smaller circle - to organize a smaller wedding, more intimate and sincere. This is one of the solutions if it was important to get married, at this time, at this place. This year, not only small weddings , but also birthday celebrations were relevant.
• If there is a desire to preserve the original wedding idea - to gather a large circle of friends and family, then one has to accept a painful decision - to postpone the wedding date .

• If the date is rescheduled, all teams involved should be contacted . First of all - a wedding organizer or wedding planner. The wedding planner contacts the third parties involved, offering their option to those available dates.
• It may happen that the rescheduled wedding date has a venue , but not a evening host or band . Then adjustments should be made, e.g. choosing a different musical presentation. It remains to be seen how many of the main service positions are available in others on the dates and choose the one you prefer.

• You can not change the venue of the celebration and, for example, the host of the evening and photographer , varying with other services providers.
• Perhaps the entire expected team will be available on another date, only much later - in autumn , in winter or next year . This is a version for consideration.
• Alice Kolosova reminds that beautiful weddings are also in winter . There may be other design, changes in the content, however, it is worth remembering - summers are also cold and rainy . Then why not celebrate in winter?

• If advance payments have been made - the human aspect is important, so it is worth discussing it individually. Because the losers are both – the couple did not receive the service, while the service provider – lost a job opportunity, booked your time, thereby refusing other offers. Taking into account these circumstances can be discussed partial recovery of advance payment. Compromises are found.
• If the wedding date is moved , then the advance payment is also moved .

• If the wedding is scheduled for the first half of summer, but the Covid regulations are still valid restrictions , they can be moved to the end of summer . This was exactly the experience to several couples who are happily married after all!
• If you have decided to postpone the wedding to next year , you must agree with the service providers after opportunities sooner, because the 2021 calendar for the most requested service providers already has quite dense.
