Introductions

I have a client that wants me to introduce the wedding coordinators... but she has asked to have them introduced after the bridal party and their intros... this didn't make sense to me so I suggested to her to have me intro them before the bridal party w/o music... then cue music and intro as normal.

Thoughts?

I'd probably suggest to intro them during dinner, or another slow point. Putting them in front of the bridal party, seems a bit much, as it will take the spotlight off the most important members...

I see what you're saying ... say maybe shortly after the cake cutting? or before toasts?

Yup, that will work. On occasion we've been asked to pass around some vendor intros and thanks. Seems to go over well after the itinerary and before dinner.

Ok so I made this suggestion to her... we do the bridal party intos then allow them to greet guests and such in a form of a receiving line per the initial planning... then shortly before the blessing we introduce the coordinators followed by the blessing and dinner..... have them stand up for applause.

Well she decided to go with my first sugestion which was to introduce the coordinators prior to the bridal party.... it's her day but, next time I'll sugest the other first... live and learn.

I wonder if she wants them introduced or if they want themselves introduced. Are they family members or close friends of the couple?

Your idea works best, no music, just an intro as part of your "pre-game" panter. Introduce yourself, welcome them to the venue (maybe mention the captain or maître di), then intro the coordinators (god...I hope they don't plan on doing an entrance). Then cue the music and roll into the real introductions. You can put even more space between the coordinators and the wedding party by introducing the grandparents and/or parents and have them stand up at their tables.

At least one of them is related to the Bride... so I'd imagine the other two are friends.....

Ya, pretty much what you just said is how I'll handle it.... the B&G are an older couple so the Grandma/Grandpa things is pretty much out...

Should be a fun night the Bride is pretty laid back and the Groom is even more laid back.... I'm definately saving my playlist for this one...

Ive recognized all the vendors at the end of the night at the client's request, unless the coordinators arent really coordinators but "friends".. kyle

I think the later is the case here.... if they were true coordinator's I wouldn't have been dealing directly or had been contacted directly by the bride...

Thoughts?

Howdy,

Another idea: When you first introduce yourself to the group, tell them that they will be enjoying an afternoon assembled exclusively by Name and Name.

That way it's over quickly and early.

I was thinking along the lines of:

"Welcome to the Matterhorn Banquet Center. My name is Rob and I'll be your DJ for the evening. Please give a round of applause for the wedding coordinators... name... name... name... haven't they done a wonderful job?

Now for the moment you have been waiting for with out further a due (cue music) the parents of the bride blah blah and blah blah...

Parent of the groom blah blah...

Meet your bridal party... bridesmaid and groomsman blah blah and blah blah..

I'm proud to introduce to you the Matron of honor and Best man blah blah and blah blah....

The moment we have all been waiting for.... for the first time in public it gives me great pleasure in introducing to you the new Mr and Mrs blah and blah blah... (cue music)"

That may not be exactly what I'll say but would be the order of things.....

If I am asked to introduce the catering staff or wedding coordinators, I always slip it in after the bridal dances. It's that time when the bride and groom are walking back to their table right before the toast. Kind of a dead air moment that you can fill with "I would at this time like to recognize our wedding coordinators for this evening, they are blah blah blah"

I hate that phrase..

"At this time I would like to..."

Hey...I know the Blah Blah family, used to date one of the daughters. The family was nice, but she was kind of...well...blah.
