Truly Chic Events

I got to work with Ly and Becka from Truly Chic Events last weekend at the Fremont Marriott for a huge wedding of 450 guests.
As a wedding DJ and emcee (
), I typically run point for logistics whether there’s a hired wedding coordinator or not, if they venue provides one or not, it doesn’t matter to me. I have the microphone, I have the timeline and I’m on top of the overall flow regardless because on your wedding day, brides and grooms are already busy enough being awesome.
However, it’s really nice to kick back and not have to worry as much. I’m only one person and I’m stuck in the DJ booth for the most part during show time.
Depending on your day is structured, the wedding ceremony may be a certain location, there may be activities between the ceremony and the reception such as tea ceremonies or even multiple tea ceremonies as well as the reception itself. All of this was true last Saturday at four separate locations.
I was only at the reception site so it’s very nice to know that my client is in great hands with the TCE crew covering everything from being there as the make up and hair crew show up at the crack of dawn to watching the last vendor finally pack up and close down the ballroom (me haha).
Weddings are awesome and ridiculous in their complexity and demands. Brides have no idea what’s required. Mothers of brides even less so while they are also even more diametrically opposed with more rigid demands.
With the high costs of weddings, when asked if a coordinator is necessary, I have to make a judgement call and look at the budget as well as a bride & groom’s mental bandwidth to organize the largest as well as most important celebration of your life. Often times, it’s a no. The couple grand or several several grand breaks the budget and themselves/​friends/​family can fill the gaps. I’ll do my best with the front-​of-​the-​house and back-​of-​the-​house duties and overwhelming, this works and works well.
But hell, if you’re a busy @ss professional and so is your spouse-​to-​be, maybe a team like TCE is what you need. Maybe your wedding is crazy and immensely demanding and everyone you could’ve used, is in your massive wedding party already with their key responsibilities being keeping you well stocked with your favorite brand of cognac. Maybe there’s hundreds of candles to light across 45 tables and you only have so much setup time or nearly five hundred people show up to check-​in for their table assignments
.the.same.time.
If that’s the case, holy cow, you need back up.
Last weekends wedding was precious to me as it’s my homeboy and optometrist. I go balls to the wall for my peeps and my clients; I’d expect all my vendors to the same on game day. When they don’t, ah, I will not let anyone us take a chance, thusly, Unilocal reviews shall ensue.
In my humble estimation of over 300 weddings across nine years as a DJ and emcee, I’m thrilled to write this first review of the TCE crew as I look forward to watch them share their spirit of passion for timeless gatherings of joy, wonder and beauty with the many lucky brides, grooms, and breathtaking moments that will come their way.
