Dear B2Bs,
Funny I just discovered what B2B means after blog hopping to wedding blogs one another. Haha.
How's
wedding prep so far? When was the last time you had a checklist? It's
crucial to have one checklist yall! Penting sebab nak kena make sure
budget tak tersasar, all are in orders.. Byk lah! And, ehem emcee hunt
pun should be on the list ye. Penting tu.. Haha.
I
have been so busy with my work and studies, but later this week akan
ade one wedding to emcee. Alhamdulillah. Today, I like to share with
yall how I work as your wedding emcee.
Step 1
Bila
dah confirm to hire an emcee (that's me), just a simple text will do.
Such, "Okay, I like to hire you for our wedding on this date sekian
sekian." This is penting so that I can slot in the dates and tak clash
ngan mana-mana weddings kan.. The confirmation may be months earlier. Tp
I rarely accept, if its a week confirmation sebab I like to engage my
customers, personally.
Step 2
Selalunya
two weeks before the wedding, I will meet the B2B to discuss on the
flow. Mana yg ada, mana yg takde..Contohnya, ade pengantin yang tanak
renjis merenjis. Ada yg sampai 2 sesi kek nak dipotong. Things like
that. Masa ni gak kita bincang gaya penyampaian. Selalunya I memg dah
gtau yg I akan start emceeing once the bride enters the room. So, kalau
majlis tu start kul 11 tapi pengantin hanya masuk jam 1, first two hours
tu, I takkan emcee. I would suggest for the brides to play songs je
from the deejay side. This is penting becuz u can keep the excitement
together with the tetamu yg hadir. :)
Step 3
A
week before the wedding I akan hantar the text for the B2B to read and
add up the few things jika ada.. So this is when I really need
confirmations on the attendees yg akan merenjis ke, yg perlu diannounce
ke.. Things like that. I like to run a smooth wedding. Alhamdulillah
setakat ni, I get very much good responses from my customers. :)
Step 4
Usually
I will not accept any advances from the bride. It has always been my
style to only terima bayaran after the wedding. Becuz at the end of the
day, I nak my customers happy dgn what I brought to the table. If my
customers tak happy, I rather not terima bayaran tu, cuz I tanak org
bukak mulut n kata I mengacara cincai ke ape. But Alhamdulillah setakat
ni takde lah lagi yg tak puas hati ke apa. I pun tumpang happy. :)
So, that's all!
