Joni Francyk recalls. "It was an experience experi-ence I really loved doing. Even though my chosen profession was nursing. I kept coming back to the wedding consultant business because its what I want to do for the rest of my career." Francyk is a familiar face in Park City, but more for her nursing nurs-ing activities than for being a wedding wed-ding consultant. She has been associated with Deer Valley's Nursing Service, where she serves as director during the winter months. "Nurses may be some of the best-suited people for wedding consultant work." Francyk said, "because they are taught early to prioritize, work closely with any personality, and get the tasks done quickly, quietly and efficiently." Unique Beginning has been growing since the winter months, when Francyk decided to take the plunge, so to speak. Even though her nursing jobs pay the bills for now. she says referrals and word-of-mouth adv ertising have been bringing her more and more wedding consultant consul-tant work. "A wedding is an event which involves the entire newly joined family, but they're really focused on the bride and groom." Francyk said. Couples today frequently have a harder time putting together a wedding than they did in the past. Francyk believes. Both indiv iduals are more likely to work, which puts time constraints on getting all the planning, ordering, checking and so forth done for a wedding. "Add to that the fact that extended families with parents and grandparents living nearbv are becoming more rare." she said. "The family's help just isn't often there because they live half-way across the country." Francyk has created Unique Beginning to help bridge the gap between available time to plan a Ziegler, Sletten & Associates, L.C. Real Estate & Investment Services Park City, Utah '--' " - '-, v-Vit.

"I have made contact with a person who owns a perfect location loca-tion for outdoor weddings." she said. "It's an aspen grove located near an old barn and a small stream. The aspen grove surrounds sur-rounds a small pond, and the whole area is perfectly beautiful." Francyk can also arrange weddings wed-dings in less traditional settings such as aboard a hot air balloon.

"Weddings and special events are often budget-driven." said Francyk. "There is no reason why people on a budget cannot have a unique, memorable event." Francyk says that she has made contact w ith a number of suppliers of dresses for the wedding party, at all price levels. "I know a person here in Park City who will design, fit and finish the dresses for the bride and bridesmaids." said Francyk.

She offers a variety of specialized services to make events run smoothly. the workload off the bride, groom and families. "I listen closely to what the bride and groom have to say about the wedding." she says. "It's their day. and I focus on what they want to see." Francyk will also make transportation trans-portation for the wedding party, especially critical when a number of out-of-towners are attending. There is also the matter of obtaining a marriage license from the County Courthouse in Coalville. "When one or both members of the couple are coming in from out of town, they don't usually have any idea how they're going to get to Coalville to apply for the license." Francyk said. "The drive up from the Salt Lake City airport is a good time to go over the details and the things which have been arranged." Francyk emphasized that she works in the background, and doesn't take any role in the wedding wed-ding itself. "I plan things so far ahead, and make sure that they are con-finned, con-finned, that on the day of the event I can work quietly with the various vendors, making sure that things are going smoothly." she-said. she-said.
