We used Johnny + Dottie for our wedding day coordination and flowers and everything turned out even more beautiful than we had imagined. Lisa completely understood my vision and created a romantic, ethereal atmosphere in the ceremony and reception spaces. The flowers were nothing short of breathtaking, and were the cherry to top off our wedding day. Even when the caterer was two hours late, I had no idea until the next day, because it was handled discreetly and professionally. The day could not have turned out better.

I was so lucky to have had Johnny and Dottie apart of our wedding day. We used their services for the day of coordination, but got so much more then that. Prior to the wedding day she was very helpful in ensuring that I had everything on track for our big day. She offered vendor recommendations and was always available if I had any questions. The week of the wedding she was the main point of contact for my vendors, which took a huge weight off of my shoulders and let me focus on all the other last minutes tasks to get completed.

Our rehearsal day came and Lisa was there early to scope out the area and make sure everything was in place. She was so professional and kept everything moving along, even with a rowdy bridal party. After the rehearsal was complete, she stayed to get things set up and let me enjoy the time with my friends and family. This was such a relief! Might I add that it was 90 degree weekend and our wedding was in a barn, so it was not an easy or comfortable task.

The wedding day came and Johnny and Dottie was there early to make sure all the details were in place. I was very particular about how I wanted the wedding decor to turn out and Lisa did such a great job at pulling my vision together, and adding in her own special touches. She has such great taste and eye for design that I knew my wedding decor was in good hands. As soon as I entered the ceremony and receptions spaces, I was blown away. She surpassed all my expectations!

Throughout the rest of the evening, everything went smoothly and if there were any issues that arose, I was not bothered with them. I was able to enjoy the day and focus on spending time with my new husband, family and friends. I would never have been to enjoy the day like I did without her services.

Johnny and Dottie Wedding Planning Services comes highly recommended by me. She is worth every penny and more. I promise you will not be disappointed.
