September has been a very busy Maui Wedding month for us. With close to
25 weddings, I have had a tough time keeping up with all of the
coordinating, let along blogging. Two weeks ago we had seven weddings over
just one weekend. Whew!
One of my upcoming grooms called and asked where his final confirmation
email was, as he should have it by now. I had to admit that I had SEVEN of
them sitting on my desk, waiting to go out. Yesterday we had five calls from
first time couples wanting to know about our service, and two of them
booked. Every time I book a wedding, I have a whole series of steps I must
go through (credit card processing, confirmation email, placing their
various appointments of the different vendor and license lists, etc.). So
when we're this busy, it is sometimes difficult to get everything done as
fast as I would like.
John is busy working on a new blog format for us. There are a lot of things
we don't like about the program we're using. Like all of the errors people
get when they try to sign up with our RSS feed. It just doesn't want to
work.
One of the things we don't like about our blogging program is that we cannot
make posts in advance; we have to do it every day. It would be so nice to
sit down and write several different blog posts, and then have them
automatically posted for us.
We are hoping within the next two weeks to transfer our two blogs (John has
one too), to a brand new blog program that he's been working on. It will
include the ability to easily put photos in our posts, which is so important
to our business, as everyone wants to see images of our weddings. That helps
our couples to see what we do and what their wedding will be like.
With John shooting our Maui weddings in the digital format most of the time,
we have so many great photographs on our computers, and it would just make
sense to put some of our favorite shots into our blog posts. I tell you
about some out our couples in my blogs, but you don't get an oppportunity to
see them the way this program is set up right now. So hopefully, that should
all be changing soon.
We know you'll like our new blog. But please be patient with us as we have
another 20 weddings scheduled for October, so John will have to push himself
to get it all done with our tight schedule.
