This Couple Got Married The Same Day They Got Engaged!

What if we told you this couple got engaged and married on the same day!? How does one execute an accelerated timeline? With the help of planner, Engaged Event Management, we got the inside scoop on how to make the most memorable day ever.

Quinn, the bride, and Parker, the groom, are a musical couple. She’s a violinist and he’s a drummer, so they immediately hit it off as many concert-going music lovers do! Quinn and Parker have a child together and they’re not interested in planning a wedding a year or more down the road. They’d rather just have it… “happen.” Parker had an idea- he’s going to throw a birthday party brunch for his girlfriend and propose during the party, then the wedding vendors all show up to put
on a surprise wedding on that same day!!

Since at this point the couple has spent years discussing their perfect wedding, the groom
knows exactly what the bride, Quinn, is dreaming of (with the help of her detailed
Pinterest boards, of course.) so he hires the appropriate vendors to pull off a “Whimsy with a
little Rock and Roll” wedding at a former coal factory that has a gorgeous courtyard within. Sersiouyl, be sure to scroll all the way to the credits to see all the amazing vendors who pull off this perfect day! This “Whimsy with a little Rock and Roll” combines some of the latest wedding trends with some of the most classic wedding staples, and with tons of pops of personality in between.

Parker proposes at the brunch, then immediately after, the vendors arrive to set up a ceremony, a small cocktail reception, and an after-party complete with neon lights and disco balls.

First, Begin with hiring a planner, like Engaged Event Management, and look through wedding magazines and style guides to create a vision.

Second, Make a mood board and invite other vendors who you know can pull off the vision, but cut the vendors loose and let each vendor make their finest craft and work in their zone of genius rather than gluing yourself to the mood board.

Third, be sure to have “guests” show up so there is interaction and emotion at the event so it has a real feeling.
