Lets just say I am not a Bride-zilla; Covid19 however...is.
I got engaged on Oct 31, 2020. Right when there was a lull in everyone freezing things and during a small peaceful pierid where everyone might be able to do things again. I immediately began planning my wedding. Influential Events was known to me in passing; a friend of a friend you might say. Didn't think anything of it till the 3rd venue in California canceled on me and my then Fiancé, and our then coordinator washed their hands of it saying 'schedule something more virtual' or use this one (offered me an EXTREAMLY over priced venue that was well outside of my budget) I went 'NOPE' and turned to alt methods.
So we began exploring options in Nevada (where I used to live as a child). In comes the hero of my Fairy Tale; Influential Events.
A quick consulting to establish boundaries, budgets and 'wants' and we were off to the races with our new fairy godmother.
So what did we find? A castle...that's right, a Castle. And I'm not talking Excalibur (which was still shut down for weddings on my wedding date Mind you!).
Let me set this for you as to why that was so important to me and my Husband. We both are history buffs. We practice in a historical re0enactment group. He hits people routinely with swords in fighter practice. We had WANTED our marriage to be a little bit of old time flare, or a Fair whichever ;). So when the campsites canceled and no venue gave us this 'feeling' of pre 1600's we were loosing hope.
And they (our new fairy godmother) show up with a Castle.
They coordinated with all the vendors (Food/Cake/Decorations), even helped with the bridal 'Hen' party arrangements. Suppled the officiate to marry us and helped us ROCK it.
Looking back; you find all the things to nitpick about, and for me and my husband all those nitpicks are laid at the venue, but it was thanks to the team at Influential Events that; in the moment, all we did is have a great time, and made memories read more
