It is very important that communication happens effectively and is quite important to reach the goals of the project. The Project Manager is responsible for providing communication tools. This communication will most likely be in the form of a performance evaluation. In most businesses, performance evaluations are given to employees once or twice a year.

The planners could also use the PowerPoint presentation to showcase photographs and/or videos from the wedding festivities, as well as snippets of comments that they received from the bride, groom and guests. At this meeting, the planners should
