Mother of the bride

Barbara is very professional. She had everything in control. I had a question she had an answer quickly. The entire wedding went down perfectly no flaws. I would highly recommend Barbara for any wedding. She is amazing.

Above and beyond

Barb helped us contract with an amazing team of vendors! Her expertise and experiences were far above and beyond any of our expectations... and we are a pretty demanding group! She expertly helped us navigate our plans for not just our wedding day, but... an entire weekend for 150 guests. Breakfasts, Manor House party, rehearsal dinner and night before bonfire in addition to the wedding day festivities. Morning breakfast, mid day catering, a million moving parts all the way thru our sparkler exit that was adapted on the fly due to rain. Barb and her team executed a flawless weekend our guests are still raving about! She is a bargain considering her expertise, industry contacts and willingness to dig in and get the work done in a professional manner with a smile on her face!

Positive, Caring, Fun Experience

Barb and her team were very professional and helped with all aspects of the wedding planning and "day-of". She provided suggestions, recommendations, and helped with many of the details and coordination. Communication was very good and there were many calls, zoom calls, and in person meetings.
