1. Hook (con’t) Now I’d like you to consider how much planning and coordinating went into that one, single night. So many people look forward to enjoying their engagements, but find themselves bogged down by the amount of work that goes into putting it together.
Saturday, December 13, 14
That’s where I come in. My name is Julie Carlson, my company is Our Love Story, and I would like to coordinate your wedding for you.

Weddings are FUN
Saturday, December 13, 14
Root My goal is to make sure that, above everything, you have FUN. Weddings are meant to be enjoyed, and I can make that happen.
Weddings represent LOVE

I have always enjoyed creating beautiful things, and to me, weddings are the most beautiful of all. Not only are they physically beautiful, but they are also emotionally beautiful. A wedding means that two people are joining together to celebrate the love each has for the other, and committing to a lifetime together.
Weddings can be nervewracking

I love to help people, and sometimes as a wedding coordinator, you also become a social worker. I can be a strong backbone for an apprehensive bride, or the voice of reason for a panicked mother-in-law to be.
LOVE above all else

I have learned to be a supportive, helpful, and strong force of love in my friend’s and family’s lives.

Lead by example

I would like to extend these character abilities to my clients, and be an example of how strong love and appreciation can be when you truly care about someone.

1. Skills/Abilities Organized: It’s so important for a coordinator to be organized. I have been organizing from the time I was a little girl, when I used to arrange all of our VHS tapes in alphabetical order and store my toys by category.
I keep people on track

Organized (con’t) Now, as an adult, I have a job where I am responsible for making sure everyone in the company is always on track and privy to new information.
I possess exceptional communication skills

Saturday, December 13, 14
Communication: Good communication, both written and verbal, is crucial in this field. I have to communicate with many different vendors at the same time, negotiate contracts, and consistently update the bride and groom with any information they request. If there is a change of plans, it is my job to make sure everyone has received (and understands!) the new information or schedule.
I function well under stress

Stress Management I have the ability to function extremely well under stress. If there is a room full of people losing their heads, it becomes my personal mission to change the tone of the room and calm everyone down so we are all able to think clearly.

I can make quick, logical decisions
Saturday, December 13, 14
Problem Solving and Logic My ability to think through multiple different situational outcomes, beginning to end, allows me to make well thought out decisions under pressure.

Saturday, December 13, 14
Reliability I can be counted on to work hard and deliver positive results no matter what the task is.

Saturday, December 13, 14
Passion I understand that a wedding is a celebration of something that will last a lifetime. I love weddings with all of my heart, so you can relax knowing that your wedding is in my hands.

Works well with others
Saturday, December 13, 14
In every new job or project, I have been faced with the task of learning to communicate well with someone new. I have learned how to read social cues very well, and I can quickly determine the best way to communicate with many different people.
