You have envisioned this day for years. Every detail, from the color palette to the floral arrangements, has been meticulously chosen. But even the most picture-perfect wedding or corporate gala can face an unexpected twist.
At Marquise Weddings & Events, we believe a truly luxurious and stress-free event experience isn't about hoping for the best—it's about preparing for anything. That's why every successful celebration, whether in the heart of downtown Tulsa, the vibrant streets of Oklahoma City, or the enchanting landscapes of Orlando, Florida, needs a solid backup plan. A contingency plan isn’t a sign of pessimism; it's a mark of thoughtful, proactive event planning. As your trusted wedding and event planner, we work with you to create a "what if" strategy that ensures your day remains seamless and joyful, no matter what. The Marquise Weddings & Events promise is to anticipate the unexpected, so you can stay fully present, come rain or shine. When you choose us as your wedding orchestrator, you are investing in the ultimate luxury: the gift of being fully present and embracing the most important day of your lives.
Because at the end of the day, your wedding should feel effortlessly magical—and with a luxury planner by your side, it will.
Why you need a backup plan in Tulsa, OKC, or Orlando
The meticulous orchestration of a wedding is a beautiful dance of planning and anticipation. Yet, even the most exquisite composition can be subject to an unexpected, discordant note. From the spirited shifts of Oklahoma's weather to an unexpected Florida downpour or an unforeseen vendor delay, a truly magnificent celebration demands a refined safety net. At Marquise, we believe a backup plan doesn't diminish the magic—it protects it, ensuring your day remains a perfectly orchestrated, stress-free symphony.
Instead of a moment of panic, a comprehensive backup plan provides clarity and confidence, allowing you to stay fully present and savor every cherished moment.
The Marquise Method: A Symphony of Contingencies
Our approach is to build a comprehensive safety net, a bespoke plan harmonized to the unique movements of your celebration.
1. Weather-Proofing Your Venue's Melody
A graceful outdoor ceremony is a beautiful desire, but a weather plan is a non-negotiable overture. For our couples in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Orlando, we work directly with your venue to compose elegant alternatives:
Securing a beautiful tent in advance.
Placing an indoor ballroom or lounge on hold.
Identifying a seamless alternate location that can be transitioned to with poise and speed.
We work directly with venues to confirm the precise timing and conditions for such a change, so there are no last-minute surprises or hurried decisions.
2. Vendor Contingencies: Harmonizing the Ensemble
Every professional in your vendor ensemble should have a plan for the unexpected. We ensure this by asking each of your partners:
Who is your understudy, your backup, should you be unable to attend?
What is your plan for any technical or equipment issues?
How early will you arrive to ensure ample time for setup, preventing any delays?
Rest assured, every contingency is artfully captured in writing, ensuring a flawless performance from your entire team.
3. Flexible Timelines: Composing with Graceful Pauses
We believe a wedding timeline should not feel like a frantic race, but a smooth, graceful waltz. We intentionally build in "breathing room" to your schedule, including:
A buffer of 15–30 minutes before the ceremony begins.
Extra time for hair and makeup to ensure you are radiant and relaxed.
Small, thoughtful pauses between major movements of the day.
This ensures your day feels effortless, not rushed—even if the tempo shifts unexpectedly.
