As a British wedding planner within the US attending the event as a member AND speaker, I\u2019ve been reflecting on what an exquisite thing it&#8217;s to be an element of \u2013 and all the pieces I learnt and gained from the experience, all of which I can apply to planning weddings in the longer term of my very own business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RSVP Club is a networking organisation for planners, suppliers and venues in the posh events industry. It provides regular opportunities for us to attach, collaborate and learn from each other, and since becoming a member I actually have built incredible relationships with among the industry\u2019s most eminent players. Being involved in RSVP has really helped the expansion of Elegante by Michelle J, and so too has the club grown \u2013 now into the American industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29709\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york2.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york2-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york2-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york2-480x320.jpg 480w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1600px, 100vw\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york2.jpg\"\/><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29709\" src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york2.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york2-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york2-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york2-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1600px, 100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I used to be privileged and honoured to be invited to attend the RSVP Recent York symposium as a speaker (the one British one!), they usually really outdid themselves with the venue, theming and decor. When the event industry hosts, they really do it well! Held in the distinguished Rainbow Room at the highest of the Rockerfeller Centre, the event was themed for The Beatles with the dress code \u2018a touch of Carnaby\u2019.

It\u2019s all about ensuring we&#8217;re (and remain) the most effective within the business. The session I hosted was all about stopping burnout, which is a hot topic in the marriage industry. We usually work on events that run until the early hours of the morning, oversee big builds and sophisticated logistics and timelines, and don\u2019t get many days off in the course of the season. It\u2019s easy to not take care of ourselves and find yourself getting burnt out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-29708 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"A British wedding planner in New York, speaking in front of an RSVP sign to a room full of people\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york1-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york1-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york1-480x320.jpg 480w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1600px, 100vw\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york1.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-29708 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york1.jpg\" alt=\"A British wedding planner in New York, speaking in front of an RSVP sign to a room full of people\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york1-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york1-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1600px, 100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also are inclined to lose sight of what we&#8217;d like to charge and the way we&#8217;d like to grow our businesses, and a part of my message is that success doesn\u2019t have to be measured by how stressed and burnt out we&#8217;re, and it shouldn\u2019t be glamorised. I talked about methods to handle this, including constructing an amazing team, setting up systems and processes, and ensuring we take day trip for self care and wellbeing.

There was even a session on meteorology and the way this has now change into a service available for the marriage industry. I heard and learnt about so many things that I can take from the US wedding industry and apply to my very own business and UK events at large.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29711\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york4.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york4-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york4-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york4-480x320.jpg 480w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1600px, 100vw\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york4.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29711\" src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york4.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york4-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york4-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york4-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1600px, 100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On day two we were invited to the gala dinner, which was an actual masterclass in event construct and design. Themed across the Met Ball, everyone dressed glamorously and started the event by walking the red carpet. Designed by Jen Gould and produced by Norma Cohen and Colin Cowie, no detail was spared and the entire thing was awe inspiring. Not only was it incredible to see, it also showed the contrast and differences between US and UK events. For instance, the entire flow of the evening is different with a giant emphasis on the bar and entertainment, whereas within the UK the food takes more of a starring role at a marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29714\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york5.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york5-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york5-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york5-480x320.jpg 480w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1600px, 100vw\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york5.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29714\" src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york5.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york5-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york5-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/british-wedding-planner-in-new-york5-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1600px, 100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a British wedding planner within the US it was fascinating to see the similarities and differences in the way in which we host, structure and design events \u2013 all of which may be applied to weddings.
