蓝山国际酒店管理学院校友职业，Tara Flegg - 婚礼策划师
每年Tara Flegg策划在悉尼歌剧院（Sydney Opera House）举办的婚礼都不会少于50场。此刻，她正在筹备中的婚礼有20多场。在她担任婚礼策划师的这五年中，她和各种各样的新娘，母亲及婆婆打交道。对于Tara来说，这份工作就是不断突破这些人的期望。
她说，“Pinterest让我激动万分，他们有自己的想法，并且那就是他们想要的。”
2014年客户最常见的要求的便是金·卡戴珊（Kim Kardashian）婚礼上的花墙。Tara见过很多稀奇古怪的要求，现在已经见怪不怪了 - 即使新娘问她是否可以骑大象去婚礼场地。
Tara是蓝山国际酒店管理学院的毕业生，她指出了从蓝山学到的技能中对现在极为重要的三条，那就是注重细节，跨文化交流以及耐心。她把这些技能应用在日常工作中。有时就像当我们走进房间注意到桌子上少了一块玻璃或是当已经更换了所有菜单才注意到字体太小这样简单。Tara 说“只有注重细节，才能筹划出完美的婚礼”。
没有任何两场婚礼是完全相同的，一直以来这激励着Tara积极为每一对新人筹备完美的婚礼。当然，这使她非常忙碌，她平均一周要在办公室工作55-60个小时。
“如果我在6点前离开，保安人员会问我去哪。我已经忘记不累是什么感觉了！
Tara 说“作为一名婚礼策划师并不是所有时候都是光鲜亮丽的，对于大部分新人来说你所负责的是在他们人生中最重要的日子为他们制造最难忘的回忆，很少有人会把在幕后工作的我们与其联系起来。”
Tara是独一无二的，她不但可以克服自己的压力而且可以帮所有人缓解压力，尽管你都不知道她也曾有压力。她的秘诀就是在问题发生以前先有所预见，让客人丝毫察觉不到有任何问题。Tara解释到“在大部分情况下，婚礼策划师不只是一名组织者，也充当顾问的角色。我曾经与一位新娘通话长达两个小时，听她发泄自己的情绪。所以说婚礼策划师这个称呼并不能涵盖这份工作的所有职责。”
当然，对Tara来说这份工作的优点远超于缺点，她说在这份工作中，婚礼当天是她最爱的部分。
她说“婚礼当天总是这份工作中最令人兴奋的最有收获的部分，看到我的想法、意见都被组合在一起，我总是分外感动。
目前，Tara在策划她自己的婚礼，她的婚礼将在歌剧院举行，毫无疑问这将是她职业生涯中策划的无数婚礼中最难忘的一次。

BMIHMS Alumni Careers, Tara Flegg, Wedding Planner
校友TARA
The Role of a Wedding Planner
Tara Flegg plans over 50 weddings per year at Sydney Opera House. At the moment, she’s working on more than 20 weddings. She has dealt with all types of brides, mothers and future mother in laws over the five years she’s been working as a wedding planner. For Tara, it is all about beating their expectations.
“Pinterest is the death of me, they have an idea in their mind and that is what they want,” she said.
The Kim Kardashian flower wall was the most common request in 2014. There have been many odd requests that Tara has received, however no question seems to surprise her any more; even when a bride asked if she could come to her wedding on an elephant.
Tara, a graduate of Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School, pinpointed three specific skills gained during her studies that are extremely important to her career. These are attention to detail, cross cultural communication and patience. She applies these skills on a daily basis. Sometimes it is as simple as walking into a room and noticing a glass missing from a table or replacing all the menus when realising the font is one size to small. “Attention to the minor details is what will make a great event, perfect”, Tara says.
There are never two weddings that are the same, and this is what keeps Tara so motivated in creating the perfect wedding for every couple. It certainly keeps her busy. An average week consists of 55-60 hours in the office alone.
“If I leave before 6pm, security asks where I am going. I have forgotten what not being tired feels like!
“It is not all glitz and glam being a wedding planner, you are in charge of a what will be the most memorable and important day for most couples, and there is very little recognition for what we do behind the scenes to pull it all together,” Tara says.
Tara is one of a kind, being able to deal with not only her stress but also that of everyone else, although you’d never know she was stressed. Her secret is to foresee the problem before it occurs and not let the client know anything is wrong. Tara explained “In most cases, a wedding planner is not only the organiser but also acts as a counsellor. I was on the phone to one of my brides for two hours listening to her vent. The job title definitely does not encompass all of the extra roles involved in being a wedding planner”
The pros of the job definitely outweigh the cons for Tara, who says her favourite part of her role is the day of the wedding.
“The wedding day is always the most exciting and rewarding part of my job. Seeing it all come together, I still get emotional,” she says.
Currently Tara is planning her own wedding at the Opera House and with all the weddings she has organised, throughout her career, there is little doubt that her wedding will be one unforgettable event.
