Your Wedding Day Resources
Green Orchid Events

Juliet Douglas, owner of Green Orchid Events, shares with Your Wedding Day magazine, “For years, I’d been on the other side of the event business, as a singer in the entertainment industry.” Aspiring to become a recording artist, Juliet attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to study music while also singing in a production show called the “Las Vegas Lounge Show.” In spite of being honored with a scholarship towards her music major, she ventured towards another career path.

“I decided to major in Hotel Administration at one of the best hotel schools in the nation,” she conveyed, “where I focused my attention towards eventually becoming an Entertainment Director in a hotel.” Unbeknownst to Juliet, the field of study for Entertainment Director would propel her into the diverse world of special events. “My capstone course involved a luncheon where Sharon Sacks of Sacks Productions spoke as our keynote speaker.  Following this luncheon, I was hooked and knew I wanted to be in special events,” shares Juliet.

Putting her “starving musician” days behind her, she acquired her first job, in Special Events as a wedding coordinator at Mandalay Bay.  After working in the food and beverage industry for hotels such as the Wynn and Four Seasons, she decided it was time to launch her own company. “I studied Wedding Coordination and Design through The International School of Hospitality,” she continues, “as well as received my designation as Professional Bridal Consultant™ through ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants).”

This career has worked out perfectly for the former musician, “I am able to be creative while also being able to help couples plan the wedding of their dreams,” states Juliet. With plenty of opportunity to be creative, Green Orchid Events features Full Wedding and Event Design, Planning, and Coordination as well as Wedding Day Coordination; each of which require a different level of creativity and skill. Green Orchid Events also provides Partial Planning and Consultation, A-la-Carte or Concierge Services to include anything from restaurant or spa reservations, addressing invitations, all the way to arranging and delivering gift baskets.  Juliet discloses that with Green Orchid Events’ collection of unique and beautiful apothecary jars, containers, and scoops, their couples can easily include candy buffets of cookies, popcorn, and other specialty items. In addition to these details, Green Orchid Events also offers a line of invitations and wedding favors through Jean M, Minted, Wedding Paper Divas, Beaucoup, and Carlson Craft.
 
Juliet reveals one reason their brides and grooms enjoy working with Green Orchid Events is because of their personalized attention and detail.  This is due in part to Juliet’s well-rounded background. “With a background in entertainment, hospitality, food and beverage, and of course, special events and weddings,” Juliet explained, “I’m able to not only assist couples in décor and floral, but I am also able to offer tips on menu selections.”  And, of course, she can assist you with selecting just the perfect music and musicians!

Juliet shares that in particular, she believes their couples feel especially comfortable with Green Orchid Events because they assert that each bride and groom feel exclusively taken care of.  “I want our couples to be able to tell me anything and everything about their wedding day,” Juliet continues, “I love it when a couple is happy with their wedding day and know that because of us, they are able to sit back, relax, and enjoy their wedding day. The smile on their faces is worth all the hard work!”

Seeing their couples’ events come together awards Juliet the same “exhilaration” she felt when she was singing; with all of the hard work, practicing, and rehearsing, the time and attention always results in a very good show.

Green Orchid Events’ goal for you is a very “good show” too, whether your wedding is in Las Vegas, Southern California, or in San Francisco.  The combination of their many talents planning your wedding, from entertainment, to food and beverage, to wedding coordination and design, they will have you singing Green Orchid Events’ praise.

Tips
  • # 6  RECIPES FOR FAVORS
    Gather together the favorite recipes that you remember as a child. They could be special family recipes, holiday menus, etc.  Have them bound in small books, affix a wedding label on the front with your monogram and date that you were married. And there you have it, a unique favor that your guests will use again and again. Also, it is a wonderful way to acknowledge grandmothers and mothers.

  • #21 LA FLEUR TABLE
    Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!

  • #16 COMFORTABLE RECEPTIONS
    Reception spaces are taking on a comfort theme nowadays. Rather than using cocktail tables alone, couples are creating a lounge effect in their reception areas by adding cozy furniture groupings of sofas and coffee tables, along with tenting and draping, lamps and lanterns, lit up trees and dozens of candles. You may want to hire a jazz quartet or flamenco trio to create a sultry ambiance.  Some couples are even hiring cigar rollers!  You can also use this set-up outdoors for a living room beneath the stars!
