Some may wonder why hiring an event planner is necessary but trust us when we say, we are here to make your life easier! After years of experience there are countless occasions when Pink Monkey Events have saved the day. From torrential rain, dress malfunctions, drunk party guests and wedding crashers… we have been through it all. When it is your special day you shouldn’t be the one who has to worry when things go wrong because that’s what we are here for. There is no problem that Pink Monkey can’t fix!
Wardrobe malfunctions:
Some of our most memorable calamities revolve around dress problems. It is almost inevitable that throughout the course of any wedding, that some sort of wardrobe malfunction take place. Whether it be a torn bustle, ripped hemline, makeup on the groom’s tux or even an exposed bra strap, we make it our priority to insure you look picture perfect at all times. Our sewing kit equipped with needle and thread is sure to come to every event and on more than one occasion has been put to good use.
Party guest problems:
Another crucial element to our role is damage control. Pink Monkey Events is focused on keeping the bride and groom happy at all times so we try our best to deal with all problems quietly. One extreme example was at a wedding when a family member suffered from a serious asthma attack on the dance floor. We made it our responsibility to have an ambulance come quickly yet discreetly to first and foremost insure the safety of the guest but also to keep the party running smoothly. On a lighter note, we have experience with party guests that have had one too many cocktails. Rather than embarrass the guest by doing something extreme such as cutting them off, we simply water down their drinks, encourage them to eat or offer them some strong coffee. Continuing with difficult guests, party crashers are another bothersome element that we are all too accustomed with. In such situations we aim to find security dressed in plain clothes that can calmly escort the uninvited guest out without averting any attention from the party.
Vendor dilemmas:
In addition, working with vendors can be another headache that we are happy to take care of for our clients. On numerous occasions we have had problems such as dead flowers, broken centerpieces, under-staffed venues and late caterers, just to name a few. Monkey Events always comes prepared to rectify these situations by staying on top of our vendors and always having a backup plan. We are not afraid to take matters into our own hands when necessary. If need be, we will step in to serve food, mix cocktails or create last minute centerpieces because there’s no job we won’t do! For one wedding, the lead singer of the band unfortunately got into a car accident so we had to help the other unprepared band members with song choices on the spot but the musical performance went off without a hitch.
From researching street closures to avoid traffic to purchasing rain boots and umbrellas in preparation for a wedding taking place during a hurricane, Pink Monkey Events goal remains the same… to insure your event is all you dreamed it would be no matter what your special day has in store!
