The Importance of Traveling as a Wedding Coordinator
Hello, everyone! It’s been a while since I last blogged, but it’s been an incredibly busy year filled with unforgettable experiences. Traveling has opened up a world of opportunities to meet new people, explore different cultures, and discover the unique beauty that each location offers.
Earlier this year, I had the incredible opportunity to travel from Colorado Springs to Downtown Phoenix, specifically to a venue in the vibrant warehouse district. This experience was a revelation for me. I’ve always been passionate about selling picturesque wedding locations, but working in an urban environment shifted my perspective. I had to focus on selling the experience of having a wedding downtown, with all its unique offerings: bustling city life, eclectic venues, and the charm of urban landscapes.
While there were numerous benefits to this new setting—like the energetic atmosphere and diverse backdrop—there were also distinct challenges and objections I had to navigate. Urban venues often come with considerations like parking, noise levels, and logistical constraints that are less of a concern in more traditional, scenic settings. Adapting to these factors not only enhanced my problem-solving skills but also deepened my understanding of what couples look for in their wedding venues.
After six months, I returned to Colorado and have had the pleasure of working at several new locations around Colorado Springs and Denver. Each venue presents its own set of unique characteristics and challenges, allowing me to continuously grow and adapt in my role. It’s thrilling to dive into new experiences, and I’m constantly inspired by the creativity and vision of the couples I work with.
In addition to my work travels, I’ve also taken the time to explore recreationally. These trips have provided valuable experiences that help me connect with people on a personal level, learn how to adapt to different environments, and pick up new skills along the way. Whether it’s a hiking trip in New Zealand or a beach getaway in Spain, these moments of relaxation allow me to recharge and bring fresh energy back to my work. Connecting with friends during these adventures has been equally important; those relationships ground me and remind me of the joy that comes with both work and play.
Now, I’m gearing up for a new location in the mountains, and I can hardly contain my excitement! The prospect of exploring this beautiful setting while coordinating a wedding is a dream come true. Each mountain venue promises a different experience, from breathtaking views to unique challenges, and I can’t wait to immerse myself in it all.
Traveling as a wedding coordinator has proven to be more than just a job; it’s a journey filled with personal growth and discovery. It enriches my professional life and provides me with stories and insights that I can share with couples. So, whether I’m navigating a chic urban wedding or a serene mountain celebration, the lessons learned from each travel experience continue to shape the way I approach my work.
