We first met with Karen and Debi when we were initially planning a wedding at our home. Despite the logistical limitations of a wedding on our property, they were both incredibly enthusiastic yet realistic. Once we realized that a home wedding was not the way to go, we shifted gears and ultimately made the decision to have it at the beautiful and historic Highfield Hall in Falmouth. Karen was thrilled with the decision and felt that it was a venue that truly reflected our personality and style.

Since we wanted to do all of the planning ourselves, we decided to hire GBE to coordinate on the wedding day only, allowing us, along with our family and friends, to focus just on enjoying ourselves. Although their services were primarily for the wedding day, GBE really went above and beyond and was quite helpful for many months before the big day. Karen was always available by email or phone to answer any questions, offer advice, and provide vendor referrals... all with infectious enthusiasm!

Not only was she helpful by email and phone, on at least two occasions she met at our venue with us and some of our vendors to discuss and further refine our plans. She even met with several of our vendors on her own in order to introduce herself and outline our objectives. In addition, when we were in need of having our small cake and pastries delivered, she even took care of that so we wouldn't have to ask a family member to do it. All these additional touches, and others, certainly went above and beyond what we had expected and hired them to do.

Finally, on the day of the wedding, Karen and Debi were there early to oversee and tend to all of the setup. In fact, when we had a bit of a "cake malfunction", Karen immediately took control of the situation and worked on resolving the issue as best as possible. Throughout our wedding day, we were able to relax knowing that Karen and Debi were there to be our eyes and ears. Their attentive and friendly attitudes kept us and our families organized so that we knew where to be and when, allowing us to leave those worries behind. In addition, after we returned from our honeymoon, Karen even came to our home to return any items that she had held for us since the wedding.
Our wedding day was one of the most wonderful and memorable days of our life, and letting GBE oversee and coordinate all of the many details of the day truly allowed us, along with our family and friends, to simply relax and enjoy ourselves.

Hiring a wedding coordinator was by far one of the best decisions we made and we're thrilled that Great Beginnings Events was by our side the entire time... they truly went above and beyond our expectations!
