11.11.11….November 11th, 2011….11/11/11….11 Nov 2011…There are so many different ways to put this date. It so clearly reminds me of 7.7.07, 8.8.08, 9.9.09 and so on.....
Only this year in Honolulu 11.11.11 is competing with one of the largest conferences the city has faced in quite some time. The APEC Leaders meeting is this week in Honolulu and will have one of its peak days on November 11th. Usually everyone sells out on these types of dates already, but this is beyond sellout for most of my vendors.
With this in mind, my fabulous couple for this date was forced to venture out of Waikiki and find a more secluded venue. Manoa here we come! This works for them and fits their style well. Most of my vendors have been fabulous to work with as usual, but there are a few that have thrown a curveball or two and forced me to think on my feet (one with a double booking that gave us the boot)! No worries, because we worked our tails off finding a solution without stressing the bride just one week before she says “I do”!
My suggestions for you 12.12.12 brides out there! Book early! And by early….I mean EARLY. Most vendors and venues will let you secure them anywhere from 12 to 16 months in advance. December 12th, 2012 is a weekday, so it won’t be as crazy, but if you want a good deal and don’t want to pay half the price, start now!
I know we will have another great wedding on Friday and I will update you on the 11.11.11 fun with photos following the weekend!
