As soon as I got engaged I thought I had my whole wedding planned out and could execute it all on my own. That was until I actually started planning and realized how much I could actually do...which was basically nothing. Being the most indecisive bride IN THE WORLD, I felt overwhelmed, lost and confused. At the time, I was told by my fiancee that a wedding planner was too expensive and not necessary. This made me feel even more lost knowing I could never pull off the wedding of my dreams with the lack of knowledge I had about weddings in general, since I hadn't been to one since I was 5 years old! I thought, why not just check out a wedding planner and see what she had to offer. Natalie from A Good Affair came highly recommended on the Knot as well as other websites. I had a consultation with her and IMMEDIATELY fell in love! I couldn't believe I had found the person that basically knew my thoughts before I said them!! We had the same view on weddings, likes/dislikes and style. This was a huge relief and we hired her basically on the spot. Since I wanted to be a DIY bride, we only hired her for partial planning which included months before as well the day of, which was all I felt I really needed. Just someone to help me along the way with vendors and ceremony/reception sites, giving me tips based on her expertise and keeping ALL of my ideas in check! Throughout the process, Natalie and I became great friends. We talked so often which made me feel much more confident about the decisions I was making. She guided me throughout the whole process, actually helping more than I thought I had originally signed up for and that I will be forever grateful for. She could tell when I was flustered or had too many ideas and could always calm me down and bring back my sanity, without taking control of the planning and still letting me feel as though I was the mastermind of the whole process. She helped us find every vendor we ended up using, all of which were ABSOLUTELY amazing! I trusted her and she delivered exactly what I wanted/needed and more, all at a better price than I had anticipated, due to her established relationships in the wedding world. Leading up to the days before the wedding, we talked every day and she really brought together all the little tiny details that I hadn't even thought of. She kept me on cue with the things needing to be done so I wouldn't creep back to my procrastinating roots and be overwhelmed at the last minute. As for the day of, it turned out better than I could have ever imagined! The entire day went on perfectly, without a single issue, and I was told by many of my guests that it was the best planned and executed wedding they had ever been to! The ceremony was perfectly set up. The reception was absolutely stunning. The florals were beautiful, which Natalie did herself. Overall, it was better than I could have ever imagined...all because of the absolutely amazing staff at A Good Affair and of course, Natalie herself. I would not change a thing about the entire process, except maybe starting a little sooner than I did, and it was all thanks to her! She is the best wedding planner a scared, indecisive, crazy bride could ever imagine. I would recommend her to EVERY couple out there! You will be amazed and blown away by her dedication to couples as well as her beyond adorable style :)
