After months of dreaming, planning, and designing, your wedding is almost here. At this stage, the focus shifts from building the foundation to perfecting the execution. Phase 5 is where every detail of your timeline—the Run of Show—comes together, ensuring a flawless flow from rehearsal through the last dance.

This is the phase where Blue Llama Events takes every plan we’ve built with you and transforms it into a seamless, joyful celebration.


Finalizing the Run of Show

A wedding is a symphony of moving parts, and the Run of Show is the sheet music. It’s a minute-by-minute, detail-packed document that keeps your wedding day on track. We:

  • Coordinate with all vendors to finalize exact delivery, setup, and start times.

  • Build in buffers for travel, touch-ups, and those special moments that deserve to breathe.

  • Outline responsibilities for every team member so no detail is overlooked.

  • Confirm contingencies—because even the best-laid plans benefit from a “just in case” backup.

By the time we’re done, every toast, every transition, and every technical cue is clearly mapped out so you can simply enjoy the day.


Rehearsal Management

The rehearsal is your chance to practice the choreography of the ceremony without the nerves of the spotlight. And its so important to get this right because it is the kick off of your wedding weekend. We guide:

  • Wedding Party Flow – Making sure each person knows where to stand, how to enter, and when to move.

  • Ceremony Timing – Rehearsing music cues, vows, readings, and rituals so it feels natural.

  • Family Involvement – Ensuring parents, grandparents, and any cultural or religious participants are comfortable with their roles.

Our role at the rehearsal is to provide calm direction, answer questions, and give your wedding party the confidence to shine on the big day.


Wedding Day Execution

This is where the magic happens—and where every detail we’ve planned together comes to life.

On your wedding day, the Blue Llama Events team is both the first to arrive and the last to leave. Regardless of when hair and makeup begins or when the final vendor packs up, we are there from start to finish, ensuring the entire day flows seamlessly.

Our role goes far beyond logistics—we are there to pamper you, protect your peace of mind, and manage everything happening behind the scenes so you can be fully present in each moment.

We:

  • Arrive early to oversee vendor load-in, venue access, and the start of setup.

  • Keep a watchful eye on design details, making sure the vision from Phase 3 is flawlessly executed.

  • Manage the flow of the day, guiding transitions so that you, your family, and your guests experience effortless joy from one moment to the next.

  • Troubleshoot in real time—quietly resolving any issues before they ever reach you.

  • Stay until the very end, ensuring breakdown, vendor departures, and final venue checks are handled with the same care as the setup.

Your wedding day should feel flawless, not frantic. Our job is to make sure the behind-the-scenes work goes perfectly so that what you experience—and what your guests remember—is nothing short of magic.


Post-Wedding Follow-Up

While the celebration may end with the last dance, our work doesn’t stop there. After your wedding we:

  • Ensure rentals are returned and vendor breakdowns are completed smoothly.

  • Distribute final gratuities and settle any last invoices if requested.

  • Provide a thoughtful follow-up, checking in to hear about your experience and share any notes from vendors.

  • Begin wrapping up photography timelines—helping connect you with galleries, sneak peeks, or album planning.

Your wedding journey with us closes with the same care and attention it began with.



Why This Phase Matters

The best weddings don’t just “happen”—they are carefully orchestrated so every moment feels natural and stress-free. The Run of Show, the rehearsal, the wedding day, and even the follow-up afterward are all part of that process.

At Blue Llama Events, Phase 5 is where planning turns into celebration. You’ve trusted us with your vision—and now it’s time for you to live it fully.
