I was one of those brides who didn't think I needed a planner because I could manage everything on my own. I actually won the day-of planning services at the International Bridal Show. I have to say that when the limo pulled away from the church with the rings inside, Maria and Katherine were worth more than their weight in GOLD! Not only were we able to contact the driver to turn around, but the total recovery time was less than 15 minutes...albeit my unfortunate groom was left waiting at the front of the church, but remedied quickly either way. Not only that, Maria made all the arrangements with my vendors, set up an itinerary so there were no surprises, and even juggled the wishes of my groom and I and our families with the utmost discretion. I ABSOLUTELY recommend the services of a planner, but even more those of Maria at In Style as my day would have been ruined without her!!
