You'll never walk alone!

really this should say work - but I figured I would try and keep my husband happy by the inclusion (for those of you who are perplexed - it is the liverpool FC tag line).

I work on my own - which is at the best of times challenging. trying to be the 'ideas person' and the one who sources the stuff and then the one who does all the grunt work is hard.

But it usually turns out that I am not alone.

the condition of my hire is that the bride/groom give me their family or friends for a few days. this way you get your family and friends involved in the preparation of the wedding, you lend a personal touch, and they are out of your hair when you are trying to finalise the seating plan! I have the added advantage of a pretty talented and obliging mum and encouraging dad ;)

the only down side is I become my alternate ego 'Major Painintheass ' ;)... all in a days work I guess.

So far in all the weddings I have done, the additional help has been priceless, and I have made some lovely friends and contacts as a result. so as much as I would love to able to hire someone, think I will stick with this model for now.

(psst - for those non Liverpool FC fans - please dont hold the association by marriage against me!! I adapt real well )
