Unfortunately we are seeing another scenario that is far too common in our industry. One of the things we tell people who are interested in creating their own company in the wedding & events industry, Don’t do it. Not that we don’t love what we do but we are very oversaturated in vendors in the NEO market but more importantly, we work dog hours and you do not get a redo on someone’s special day. Do not atttempt this industry if you cannot work those long, insane hours. Do not jump into this industry if you don’t love it 110%. Take it from the pro’s, what we do is not easy. It is not just setting up a station and clocking out after making some cocktails. Most of work 80-100 hours a week and once newbies realize that they tend to burn out far too fast and can’t juggle personal lives with business. This industry is not for the weak. Just because the invoice looks cheap doesn’t mean that’s the best option. We aren’t perfect but we do strive every event to not give up and try our best.
With that said - 2026 is an insane event season. If you find yourself in the unfortunate scenario like many others, start reaching out now. Many of us are running low on staffing and are already stretched very thin in what is one of the heaviest wedding seasons. Fingers crossed for the many, many, MANY couples who are going through this.
