The Fairy Godmother of Travel: I Do...Rain or Shine

Post by Martha & Dawn:

This past Saturday was full of adventure. Everything was ready to go for a beautiful outdoor wedding at Austin 71.

All of our vendors arrived on time, the ceremony site was perfect, the reception was beautiful, the food warm and delicious, the band ready to go, the cake was set, and most of the guests arrived on time when all of the sudden it started to drizzle just a few minutes before the ceremony!

Everyone checked the forecast a thousand times (including our boss, Dawn, who was supposed to have a quiet night at home with her son at home), and no precipitation was supposed to be there. What do you do?

Well, we’ve learned that attitude is everything and just have to say that everyone involved in this wedding kept a wonderful attitude to make this work.

A big thank you to RadioStar and Kurant Events for moving their entire equipment setups to a better place (in the same venue of course) to make sure nothing got ruined and to accommodate the guests. Ann at Austin 71 was so easy to work with and helped make the entire process that much easier.

Also, thank you to the DJs: Penguin Entertainment, Dexter and Complete Music who we called during the ceremony just in case RadioStar was unable to play because of the weather. Fortunately for the couple and the guests, RadioStar went above and beyond to make sure they were able to play. Everyone absolutely LOVED them! What a treat to have something different when it comes to wedding music.

Here is a list of the amazing vendors that made the wedding perfect:
