Let's see a typical day in Yzelle's life:
5:30 AM: I usually start my day early as a mum of two. As I love making breakfast and packing their food for nursery. Although in a bit of a time pressure to make sure everyones out the door on time including my husband, we absolutely love and enjoy mornings as a family and it sets the mood for the day.
7AM: I head to my office and I would start with follow ups from the previous day’s potential bookings. I then answer new inquiries, especially ones that came through the night. I would do this for an hour or two and make sure everyones been replied to with their corresponding packages and mood boards..
9 AM: I would repost my scheduled social media content on stories across my business accounts. I reconfirm and send suppliers a reminder of todays events, timings and location, this would mostly be catering and other third party suppliers. I also send our clients our estimated time of arrival and other important notes for their event.
10 AM: I head to our storage and have a careful check of the packing being done by our team members (so as the received inventory from the previous day’s event and send that for cleaning). Once done we load the truck and have them all on standby for dispatch. I give the final go ahead and we head off for the first set up. Theres a huge deal of organization required during the packing and dispatch especially when we have more that two sets for the day.
2PM: Arrive at the first venue, unload the truck and start transforming the venue into a cozy space. Meticulously make sure every detail is on point as per the clients’ requests. We repeat the same for the second set up of the day and at the end of each set up check, id take photos and videos for content sometimes to send to the client if they haven't arrived at the venue yet.
5:30 PM: Im finished with the set ups and Id head home just in time for dinner with the family, put the kids down. There are days where I have to stay at the venue, examples during a marriage proposal event or weddings where me and the team also have to coordinate the event, so I do cherish days like this when I get to come home and have a little bit of a quality time with the family.
9 PM: I will dispatch the trucks to head for tear down and collection.
11:30 PM: Or sometimes even later, trucks would arrive back at our storage and I would receive our inventory sheet making sure every item is back and accounted for. Id be exhausted by this time and will head home to get much needed rest.
