*Splendid Note:
You can read the previous updates and FAQs on Coronavirus and your wedding business here.


Focus on the Splendid

We're an industry that makes our living by celebrating life's milestones, so I'm going to start each of these update posts with a few positive COVID-19 things we can all smile about:

TOTAL GLOBAL RECOVERIES

The total number of recoveries is now more than 101,500 people, up from 85,500 yesterday.

Passing the six-figure mark is definitely something we can all toast to!


Splendid Q+A on Coronavirus and Your Wedding Business

We’re taking a break from the Q+A today so you can have a little breathing room from the constant influx of information.

All of this is a lot. I get it.

Here’s the thing: I am really super good in times of crisis.

Like, ridiculously good.

This is not some sort of weird brag. We all have our strengths, and this is one of mine.

I briefly mentioned yesterday that my work in my pre-wedding career included high-stakes crisis management, so I have professional experience in this type of stuff, too.

If you need to process, vent, cry, whatever with someone who can make space for your stress right now without it adding to theirs, please send me an email through the contact page or directly at hello@thinksplendid.com so we can connect.

This is free, no strings attached. I truly do not care if you never hire me as a consultant or if you stop reading this blog once this is all over.

Also: 100% confidentiality.

I’m not a therapist and will not pretend to be one. What I can do is listen and be a sounding board if your usual go-to people are too overwhelmed and stressed themselves right now.

You can ask anyone who has known me for longer than twenty minutes: I do not say things just to be polite. If I offer something, I mean it. So if this will benefit you, please take me up on it.

We will get through this. Together.


More questions?

When I say we’re all in this together, I mean we are all in this together. I am not a blogger, I am a business consultant and speaker. This blog is not sponsored nor ad supported and is not how I make my income. Since we are all in this together, I am not charging consulting fees to answer questions related to COVID-19.

I will continue answering Coronavirus-related wedding business questions from ANY wedding, event, or hospitality professional, located anywhere in the world, here on the blog over the next few weeks and possibly longer, so that anyone, anywhere in the world can access the information they may need for their business at any time.

I’ll be continuing to work through the questions sent in so far here on the blog so that we can all navigate this together as best we can. Please send any questions you have to hello@thinksplendid.com and remember there is no such thing as a dumb question.

I’ll be keeping the names anonymous so you don’t have to worry about being attached to a question in a Google search or in case you don’t want a colleague or competitor to know what’s on your mind.
