We were all set up, the day was sunny and warm, and guests were starting to trickle in.
And then the mountain across from us disappeared.
There was no rain in the forecast. In fact, our apps still called for a sunny day. But the radar showed a blip forming near us.
We knew what to do, and we had five minutes to get it done. We covered the ceremony site, one of the lounges, and the reception dinner area. We alerted the caterer and took apart the buffet and drink station. We brought a lounge, the welcome table and cocktail tables indoors so guests had a place to mingle with a glass of ch*****ne while we waited it out.
And then when it was over, we reset. Ceremony was only 30 minutes delayed, and the rest of the day went on as planned.
That’s the power of an experienced, on site venue team. Some of our staff has been with us only a few seasons, while others have been here for 7 years.
A small bonus, the rain cooled the weather a bit!
