Athena is an amazing wedding planner. I didn't know what to expect but she guided me through the process with ease. I never felt like I couldn't tell her when I didn't like something or when what I wanted was different than what she recommended. The most important thing was that I had the wedding of my dreams and she helped me have an experience I couldn't even have imagined myself. She made sure I had at least 3 vendors to choose from for everything (venue, video, photo, cake, make-up, etc) and my then fiancé and I had a chance to interview all these vendors before making a final decision. I cannot say enough about the vendor options, everyone was amazing and I was very pleased with everything. Another great thing about our experience with Athena was that we felt like we were her only client, actually I felt that way for all the vendors I ended up choosing. She was always available and she attended all of my vendor interviews and meetings, and it was a lot, but she was always there. She knew what I wanted, even when I didn't know, because she was able to read my personality and make great suggestions on what I would like or not like. My wedding was perfect, mostly because I love my husband and I was marrying him, but the day was beautiful and the wedding experience itself was amazing. My guests couldn't stop gushing it being one of the best weddings they had ever been to. The decorations were amazing, she did a phenomenal job with the reception décor, especially the King's table. I gave her a theme and a partial vision and she filled in all the pieces perfectly. Brides, I will say, if you want someone who will put you first and work hard to make sure your day is what you want then Coalesce Creations is for you. Oh, one last thing, Athena is always working hard to make her business better and actually appreciates feedback so that future brides will benefit, not that there's much to correct, but it's always a good thing when quality improvement is a priority.
