It may seem off base to think about growing your business in the middle of a global pandemic, but hear me out. Right now, we have an opportunity to dig deep into our businesses and transform them from the inside out. Weddings are postponed and we’ve got into a holding pattern with our clients, but we can still be using this time to book more clients for the future, reevaluate our systems, and tweak our workflows — all to come out stronger on the other side of this public health emergency.

No one wants to see a wedding postponed or canceled, least of all the intended couple. Whether it’s a family emergency, natural disaster, a global pandemic, or simply just unforeseen circumstances. Wedding celebrations do, on occasion, need to be postponed or canceled. Is it disappointing, heartbreaking, devastating, and surreal? Yes, it most certainly is. But remember, getting married is so much more than the party. It’s about the joining of two people’s lives in holy matrimony. Getting married doesn’t require a fancy location or a band, or a party. Love can’t be canceled, and you can’t postpone love. The gathering, the dancing, the celebrating, it can still happen. And it should happen, you deserve it!

Things have gotten tricky for those in the throes of wedding planning, as the spread of Coronavirus has companies shuttering their doors temporarily and people are asked to self-isolate at home. For an industry that thrives on face-to-face interactions, the special events industry has been hit especially hard by this crisis.

It’s no secret that we’re all in the same boat of looking ahead (cautiously so) once the fog of COVID-19 clears. But a lot of you, not unlike myself, may be thinking: how can we really plan our next steps when there’s seemingly no end in sight?

Natural disasters are unpredictable, yet inevitable. It’s less about if and more about when, so event professionals must always be prepared with a backup plan. As a company based in central California, we are no stranger to crises — earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides, flooding and, now, a global pandemic.
