On the big day, chaos erupted on the red carpet. With no proper plans, last-minute solutions were hastily thrown together—and it showed. The custom banner, meant to be the first thing guests saw, flapped uncontrollably in the wind due to poor securing. The last minute borrowed backdrop stands was broken, patched together with duct tape, collapsed or toppled over mid-event. The loaned red carpet was tattered and carelessly laid down, missing essential carpet tape, creating tripping hazards. A photo studio backdrop frame with tripod legs, rather than flat bases and the lack of sandbags added to the danger for attendees. Flimsy stanchions and ropes were easily knocked over by photographers who spent more time trying to keep them upright than snapping photos. In place of proper lighting, a volunteer grabbed construction site lights from local hardware store, more suited for a building project than a glamorous premiere. As guests arrived, frustration mounted due to the lack of coordination and staff. Worse, with no plan to distribute photos, many were left wondering how to get theirs photos they stood in line to take. The red carpet quickly spiraled into a full-blown disaster, leaving everyone disappointed and disillusioned instead of celebrating the event. By the end, the event coordinator wished they'd never attempted this embarrassing part of the event.
