Any wedding that has had a time sensitive set-up. For example, we once brought the wrong colour of chair covers to a set up (the ivory and the white were so similar) and I couldn't live with myself if I would have just used what we had, so I just hopped in the car (with less than an hour to set-up and still 70 chair covers to set up) grabbed the chair covers, drove back and just in the nick of time we got everything done. Before deciding I was the one that was going to drive... I knew it would be best to go get the chair covers myself to avoid any phone call of "I can't find them".

An innocent question. But a question that if answered improperly, can be a deal breaker. While many individuals will be looking to a new job as a means of increasing their salary, “not being paid well enough at your last job” is not something you want to mention to your interviewer. After all, are you not likely to leave this particular job if you found you could make more down the street?
If you're currently employed and leaving of your own accord, craft your response around enhancing your career development and a seeking out of new challenges.
If your current employer is downsizing, be honest about it, remain positive, but keep it brief. If your employer fired you or let you go for cause, be prepared to give a brief – but honest – reply. No matter how tempting it may be, or how “unfair it was that they let you go” steer clear away from any and all drama and negativity. Any experienced employer understands that sometimes things happen. Staying positive is key here.
With working in the wedding industry for the past 7 years, I have learnt all about different people and cultures. Everyone is so different in how you can relate to them, so initial meetings I would quickly feel out my consultations... How can I relate to them so they feel comfortable to trust me. Some people liked the extremely professional touch, while others preferred to think of you as their wedding best friend that would not lead them astray. It's important to learn about your clientele, for example I did a fair amount of Jewish weddings. I knew nothing about Jewish weddings but I just researched and asked questions and now I know what a chuppah is, or shabbot dinner or why their weddings are only on a sunday. I guess it comes down to taking the time to learn about different people and using personal experience as a way to adapt.
I try not to intervene too much into the work of the people I am supervising. At least, not visibly. However, I do get into the nitty gritty of things silently by inspecting table place settings such as linen, china, glass, silverware and condiments to ensure that each element is clean, undamaged and looks attractive the way they are placed.
True leadership is about personal responsibility. That is why an effective answer to this question is, “I consider anyone who works with me to be an extension of my effectiveness as manager. I will discuss any problems with the employee individually and honestly, but if their work affects the bottom line of the company, their shortcomings are also my responsibility.”

Formerly introverted but now I became more
Trust and love to communicate with people around you. You do this, you made your point turning the negative into a positive.
23. Tell me as far as supervision is concerned, how do you manage to oversee large banquet events?
The ability to coordinate different aspects of a banquet in a manner that allow you to oversee each event easily, is what makes things stress-free. I make sure that all aspects of a banquet are managed appropriately and that each aspect is looked over several times until the event ends.
24. Can you tell us what major challenges and problems did you face at your last position?
Being self employed raised all sorts of challenges whether it's staff, clients ruining linens and having them rented out the following week, a staff member calling in sick, but you get on the internet and buy some new linens or you contact your client and let them know what happened and see if they want to pick another linen or try and subcontract it out to another decorating company. Because I didn't have many staff to fall back on, I would call upon family in tight timeline situations.
25. Tell me how do you deal with the pressure and job stress?
You should already be able to deal with stress and tension so you can answer the question. Also can not simply tell them how you find the pressure was terrible because it has become part of most jobs, one has to expect that it will face many filled with pressure and tension during the career track positions. Instead, give them a positive response and tell them that you are faced with much determination to end the task, but you can answer that pressure pushes you to work better where the greater the challenge the greater the efficiency shown by the performance of your business. Nevertheless, the answer varies from one person to another. You can also directly answer such as "I train to deal with the pressures," or "I deal with the pressure across the sit alone for some time and I analyzed the question in my head."
