Handover
You will do the heavy lifting in this planning process and be very much ready to clock off, when we take over six weeks ahead of your wedding date. After our big handover, we will compile our exhaustive Wedding Operations document, which covers every tiny moment, direction and piece of information it takes to make your event run life clockwork. Once you’ve reviewed & signed this off, you can consider yourself officially off duty. Leave all supplier liaison, schedule and flow management, logistics and last-minute wedding tasks to us.
Payments
We will manage cash payments and tips, throughout the weekend.
Spatial Planning
We’ll oversee the implementation of your floorplans, seating charts, traffic flows, and safety and hygiene protocols.
Personal Assistance
We will be your personal assistant for each element of your wedding event, from queuing your walk up the aisle, to beauty touch-up reminders and speech timings. We’ll straighten ties, hold flower girls’ hands and locate lost handbags.
Guest Services
We will check in with local accommodation and transport options for your guests. If children will be in attendance, we can organise trusted babysitters, entertainment, activity packs and fun areas. We’ll furnish restrooms with courtesy items. If valet parking, security and bathroom attendants are preferred, consider it done.
Destination Planning
We will be your local experts, tailoring all of the above planning services to your timezone and giving all that additional support that’s so important, when you’re planning from outside of Ireland. Budgeting documents will be provided in your currency as well as in Euro. Non EU clients will avail of a 0% VAT rate on remote planning services provided by love & gatherings.
Event Sign Management
We will display your place cards according to the seating plan. We’ll display directional and courtesy signage.
Catering Management
We’ll work directly with your venue and catering manager, to ensure timelines are adhered to intuitively and not a single glass goes unfilled.
Entertainment Management
We’ll manage band and entertainer setups, special requests and aesthetic guidelines.
Contract Assurance
You’ll receive a tailored contract guaranteeing agreed services, including assurances that in the event of future event/travel restrictions due to a pandemic, or other Act of God, which prevents your wedding from taking place, we will transfer your booking to a new date and assist with any replanning necessary to do so, at no additional charge. Love & Gatherings is fully insured for our activities, staff, and the property and products we handle.
