All in the details events and more

Emily, I can sincerely say that I am astonished by these comments when none of these things were ever discussed with me. The decor and set up was mainly done the day before which was not a service that was included in our contact. Despite it not being included I showed up to assist and having to change some things around as linens were laid inside out and centerpieces were still being made. I brought my entire emergency kit to assist with set up to include my steamer which was not used as another one was provided. I did bring my emergency kit that day as I was wiping down tables after a bird came in and created a mess on some of the tables that required the use of my tide wipes which are in my kit. On the day of the chairs which were rented the week of the event were already being laid out by family and were being directed by a family member. I assumed that they were done with direction as there was no plan for chairs during our consult/design so I assisted. When direction was given I placed the chairs with two other gentlemen even though again it was not a service I include. I provided them direction on how many chairs needed to be in each row despite the constant hovering of family that wanted to take control of the day. The coffee set up was done also with no direction and because the catering staff was not hired to complete this task and my licensure does not cover food/drink it was done at the best of my capacity. I was scolded may I add by an aunt because there was no trash bin next to the coffee station which is a cat seeing function not a coordination function (for which I was hired), nonetheless I found a trash bin to place so as to maintain everyone’s composure. The rose petals were a last minute add on as well and I did not disrupt the ceremony to hand them out but rather inconspicuously handed some to those in the innermost rows. To address the timeline everything flowed with the exception of the parent dances which was beyond my control as there was a key player that needed assistance at the time. I was dressed in black slacks and a black blouse which is my attire. It was a hot day and I did not wear a sweater to cover my arms. In the end I did the best I could despite the last minute additions that were not discussed with me to plan for appropriately as well as the inexcusably entitled demeanor of family members who berated me for things that were not my purview. In actuality my contract says details that both demeaning/condescending behavior and lack of communication are ground for me to break the contract with full payment but I executed in the hostility solely because I am a professional.
