    Cannot recommend Blue Dahlia enough!

    Blue Dahlia is a truly the best when it comes to wedding planning! From the moment we hired Kate, we knew we were in good hands. She brought our vision to life with precision, creativity, and attention to detail. Her passion, dedication, and love for her work shine through in everything she does.

    Kate and her team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was nothing short of perfection. One of my bridesmaids had an issue with her dress about an hour before the wedding started and one of the team members, without hesitation, ran out to Nordstrom to get help fixing it.

    Kate advocated for us with every vendor, ensuring our needs were met and our expectations exceeded. She expertly navigated any challenges that arose leading up to and on the day of the wedding making the whole experience stress free.

    If you want an stress-free and unforgettable wedding planning experience, hire Blue Dahlia! They are the absolute best and I cannot recommend them enough.

    11/10 Experience!

    Blue Dahlia was - by far - the best money we spent on our wedding. The team was incredibly well organized and helped us nail down every last detail to perfection. I appreciated how they would help coach us in advance of the big day on what elements mattered most and should be prioritized vs weren't necessary. They were responsive and helped keep track of our vendors in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. Then, they REALLY made magic happen live during the wedding! They kept everything moving exactly on time so we didn't have to worry about it, and they resolved multiple issues as they arose during the evening. They are also lovely people and I will genuinely miss getting to chat with them. I can't recommend Blue Dahlia enough! 11/10.

    Book them now and thank yourself later!

    Kate, Erica and Geri were SO wonderful to work with! We are both (bride and groom) bordering on being control freaks, and were very proud of all of the work we put into planning the perfect wedding, but were so pleasantly surprised at how much additional detail the Blue Dahlia team made us think through during our wedding prep in the final 2 weeks, along with just being so helpful with our vendors behind the scenes on our wedding day. We would recommend them to anyone!

    Stop what you are doing and hire Blue Dahlia

    Kate and the Blue Dahlia Team were everything we could have wanted in an event coordinating squad and more. They made our lives so easy and kept our entire wedding running smoothly (and we had a lot of moving parts). Without them, I would have been so stressed and not enjoyed the wedding as much. We had a giant bridal party and Kate herded the cats like a pro. She turned our boxes of random decor into the whimsical celestial vibe we were envisioning. She made sure we always had drinks in our hands and helped me sneak in the UC Bearcat Mascot to surprise my now husband. From start to finish, Kate did it all. We cannot say enough good things about Kate and her team.

    Blue Dahlia is everything and more for wedding planning!

    Kate and her assistant were absolutely fantastic. They felt immediately like an extension of our family when met in our first meeting and we slept easier knowing we had her support and eyes on final details. We really felt she went above and beyond what was asked for and we are so grateful to her for that. We truly enjoyed our experience with Blue Dahlia and wish we had events we regularly could plan with her. We couldn’t recommend anyone better to trust and coordinate a wedding! We love Kate and team!

    The Perfect Day

    I spent a lot of time looking for a planner for our wedding. A good friend referred me to one, however they would not do a six
    week out plan because they said our venue was too complicated to not work from the very beginning. This led me to keep looking
    and I found Blue Dahlia. From our first details meeting I knew I was in good hands. We worked with Melissa who we cannot
    compliment enough. She is dedicated, detailed, organized, supportive, everything you want from a wedding planner. I felt like I
    was her only bride! My husband and I know our day wouldn't have come close to what it was without Melissa and the Blue
    Dahlia Team. We are giving them 100 stars and highly recommend them to any couple looking for help planning their wedding. I
    promise, you will not be disappointed!

    The BEST coordinators!

    Kate and Jenna and their entire team were incredible leading up to and during our wedding. They took care of all the little details, the timeline, and making sure things ran smoothly with all of our vendors! We could not have been happier with the team. 10/10 recommend!

    Blue Dahlia

    Blue Dahlia is amazing. They have the perfect eye for how to design & coordinate an event. Our order of events went smoothly for our guests. They kept the entire evening running, making sure everything including the speeches were on time. Our family keeps saying, we could not have done the celebration without them! I would 10/10 recommend. It was also amazing having her before the event to coordinate with the vendors and clearly communicate the timeline with them. They kept everyone in perfect line :)

    Professional and Kind

    The Blue Dahlia Events team was phenomenal work with. The entire wedding day ran smoothly thanks to Kate and her team. They did their job without being noticed, making the entire day feel effortless. I highly recommend Blue Dahlia Events to help you navigate every detail of your planning process as well as the wedding day itself.

    WOW!! Blue Dahlia is absolutely amazing! We wanted to just enjoy our daughter's Day- and hiring BDE (3 mos. package)was the best decision ever! They are super chill. organized, funny, always on top of things, and has such a calming presence-she became like family! Always responded quickly and updated the itineraries often- and you can't beat meetings at "Senate"!!! Kate was so attentive to Chelsey-making sure she was eating and drinking water!! If there were any glitches, we certainly weren't aware! All I Know is Chelsey and Louis were grinning from ear to ear all night long-they had the time of their lives and that is what it's all about! Did I mention Kate is Amazing!!!

    All Star Team

    As soon as we had our first meeting with Blue Dahlia we felt relieved and more relaxed leading up to our wedding. We opted for the 6 week package for that very reason and we do not regret it! We knew we were in great hands and could finally stop stressing and start feeling excited about our wedding. Kate & Jenna were so on top of everything and asked us all the right questions, including stuff we had never thought about before. Kate & Jenna are not only experienced and super-capable, but also fun and relaxed which helped us feel like any little issue that came up was no big deal, easy to work around, etc. I always tell people it's a huge success when you think your wedding day goes perfectly (which we did!) because it means your coordination team (Jenna & Sarah) navigated any hiccup without pulling you into it. Cannot recommend BDE enough!

    The Blue Dahlia team is amazing.

    The Blue Dahlia team is amazing. They handled completely setting up our reception while we were off getting married and made our day so seamless. When we arrived we were relieved and excited to see everything taken care of and ready to go before our guests arrived at the reception. Not one detail was missed and everything looked amazing! Thank you so much to the Blue Dahlia team!!

    Amazing experience with Blue Dahlia

    Kate from Blue Dahlia was phenomenal to work with. She is SO organized and on top of it, and knows exactly what needs to be done leading up to a wedding. As someone with zero experience planning a wedding, I truly don't know what I would have done without her in the 2-months leading up to the big day! There are SO many little details to keep track of, last minute changes, etc. and Kate handled everything perfectly. It was such a life saver having her there on the actual wedding day as well - she kept everything on schedule and worked with all our vendors so that my husband and I could just enjoy the day. I am so SO thankful we decided to bring Kate on as our planner and would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Best decision we made!

    Both my husband and I agree that deciding to use Blue Dahlia was the best decision we made (other than deciding to marry each
    other!) during the wedding process. Kate was a dream; down-to-earth, friendly, professional, easy to talk to, decisive, responsive,
    and extremely helpful. She seemed to always be there when you needed her and acted quickly when things started to go sideways.
    For example:
    - The day of our wedding a huge storm unexpectedly appeared. Kate and her colleague Sarah constantly monitored the situation and helped us make the
    game time decision to move the ceremony from the garden to the tented reception area. She somehow arranged chairs to make the
    space feel more "like a ceremony" in a small space in record time.
    - During the ceremony the wind literally picked the tent up off the ground and Kate GRABBED THE TENT POLES and held
    them, in the rain, for the remainder of the ceremony. I mean, c'mon...that is true dedication and we can't thank her enough.
    - Anytime we needed Kate or Sarah they was there, quickly moving things along and solving problems (for example, bringing ginger ale for
    upset stomachs, providing hair ties for a sweaty dance floor). She was everywhere and always helpful.
    - Throughout the process Kate was incredibly responsive. She gave us her personal cell phone and texted back immediately
    whenever contacted.
    - Kate was friendly and positive, but also decisive & direct. She gave honest advice that was incredibly helpful, such as: how and
    when to tip vendors, recommended layouts for the ceremony, order of reception events, and many other big and tiny details.
    Finally, we would just like to say that we could not have pulled off this wedding without Blue Dahlia. Despite the fact that both of us are
    organized planners, there is no way we could have remembered all the critical details and kept things moving smoothly without
    her. And our wedding day experience would have been much more chaotic, and far less romantic had we tried. In short, we
    cannot recommend Blue Dahlia enough!

    Love Blue Dahlia Team!

    Kate was organized, energized and kept me at ease through the whole process of wedding planning. If I had a question, she had an answer (and quickly!). If I needed assistance on communication with vendors, she stepped in. She really allowed me to plan my day the way I wanted -- she was along for the ride and there to pick up any pieces I dropped along the way :)

    Laura was an incredible day-of coordinator. My husband and I connected with her instantly and she left us with a sense of calm every time we spoke. A few mishaps happened day-of, and she handled them with ease -- we were completely unaware anything had gone wrong! Not to mention, the mother-daughter duo between Laura and Tracy was so fun for us, they are both so sweet and genuine. We were able to enjoy our day without stress and that's exactly what you want and need on your wedding day.

    By the end of our wedding process, Kate and Laura both became much more than planners, they became friends to me. I am so grateful!

    Professional & Amazing Wedding Coordinator

    Kate & her team were absolutely amazing. She was super responsive, professional and had an amazing calming presence. She handled all the coordination with the vendors and the timeline. On the day of the wedding she executed flawlessly and we didn't see her sweat. Our wedding day was so smooth and everyone was very complimentary and appreciative of Kate and her team. I highly recommend her!

    Two-week out wedding coordinator - life saver!

    My husband and I are still talking about how thankful we are we decided to book blue dahlia events. We really were reluctant to even go with a coordinator in the beginning. But with me having anxiety, we decided it would just help and hopefully be worth it. Boy, was that an understatement. We could not have pulled our day off without blue dahlia. If you’re having hesitations about booking, DONT! We booked the “2 week out” coordination where I basically handed everything over to Kate who mapped everything out perfectly. She coordinated with the vendors that I was having trouble reaching. She was extremely easy to communicate with and willing to go the extra mile. She assigned me a “day of” coordinator named Katie. And I thought, cool! That will be nice to have some one there the day of to help out. Another understatement. Katie ran the day and all of the behind the scene stuff like a SCIENCE. She was ALWAYS one step ahead of me. When I would come up with a worry, before I could even finish my sentence, she would reassure me she had already taken care of it. It was honestly incredible. I have 0 problems the day of my wedding, because whatever problem there probably was, Katie smoothed it over. On top of that she was always close by making sure Garrett and I had a drink at the reception. We still are talking about how thankful we are that we had Katie the day of our wedding. I can’t say enough. If you’re hesitating, don’t. You won’t regret booking with blue dahlia events - they will make your wedding the most carefree day - the way it’s supposed to be!

    I would recommend Blue Dahlia to anyone!

    I would HIGHLY recommend using Blue Dahlia as your wedding planner. They will allow you to enjoy your wedding day without having to worry about a thing. The day goes by so fast, and they took the stress off of me so I could truly enjoy each moment. From running the ceremony to little details like refilling the batteries to our Polaroid camera, Blue Dahlia was on top of it all. Any time I needed anything, they were right there to help. Blue Dahlia helped bring the vision I had for my wedding to life, and they made it stress-free.

    The organized and professional glue that held our wedding day together

    "I'm a pretty organized person and not a high-maintenance bride, why do a need a wedding coordinator?" I asked myself. A few good friends told me that the actual execution of the wedding day is challenging and suggested I considered a coordinator. THANKFULLY I listened to them, as I can't imagine my rehearsal dinner and wedding day without Blue Dahlia. They are professional, kind, and friendly. They help you make a timeline for your wedding day but aren't militant in forcing you to stay on a minute-by-minute schedule. I chose their "two weeks to go" package, as I had most of my big stuff done; this meant they got heavily involved two weeks out and sent my the most detailed questionnaire I've ever seen about the wedding day. This level of detail was CRUCIAL in the smooth execution of my wedding day. Everything went amazing, in large part to Blue Dahlia's role. Unexpected things -- like the person who learned how to bustle my dress was MIA but Melissa with Blue Dahlia thankfully knew how to bustle a gown; a guest bringing another guest without RSVPing for her -- were handled in stride. I highly recommend Blue Dahlia; and if you're on the fence about getting a wedding coordinator, it was one of the best things we spent money for the wedding.

    Blue Dahlia took the pressure off!

    Blue Dahlia was a fantastic investment! They made sure that every detail of my wedding day flowed perfectly, and I didn't get any questions coming my way the whole time they were there! Not only were they so great about jumping in to anything, but they were so understanding with every single custom and detailed thing that I wanted! They were quick to answer when I asked for advice, but also followed my lead with what I wanted!

    Cannot imagine our wedding day without the Blue Dahlia team!

    Our wedding day was a dream, and we owe it all to Blue Dahlia. From our first details meeting, to days leading up to our big day, to the wedding day, Blue Dahlia helped us communicate with all vendors, talk through decisions we had left to make, and they took care of all the busy work the day of the wedding. I felt zero stress and so did our family and friends. I honestly cannot imagine the success of our big day without the help from the Blue Dahlia team!

    Hire Blue Dahlia!

    Blue Dahlia was great to have for extra insight, helping hands, organization and execution for the wedding day. Blue Dahlia was great with communication with myself and my family, and with all of our vendors. They created a realistic and effective itinerary, shared with all of our vendors & ensured that all of our vendors were on the same page. If anything happened that was not as planned, Blue Dahlia immediately resolved the issue and avoided any additional stress for myself and my family. Blue Dahlia was a very calming and helpful resource to have on the day of the wedding, and during the 2 weeks leading up to the wedding, to ensure that everything went as planned. Would recommend them to anyone getting married!

    Forever grateful to have Blue Dahlia with us on our big day

    Working with the Blue Dahlia team was, hands down, the best wedding-planning decision we made! Originally we thought we could do everything on our own, but as day-of-wedding tasks piled up, we realized it would be best to outsource to the experts. At each meeting with Blue Dahlia, the team was professional, extremely well-prepared, and thorough (and just fun to be around!). By using the resources on the BDE website and through the questionnaire process, we were reminded of details we were forgetting and were able to fill in the gaps where necessary. The BDE team worked hard to understand our vision and we were completely confident that they would execute to perfection on our big day, which is exactly what they did. From the first meeting, we just knew we were in good hands, and this took a huge weight off of our shoulders and made the wedding planning process much more enjoyable for us. We will happily recommend the Blue Dahlia team any time!

    Using Blue Dahlia was the best decision we made for our wedding! I cannot express what a relief it was to turn over the reins to the highly qualified, professional, and organized women of this team! The Blue Dahlia team executed the very detailed plan I presented to them without blinking and eye. They were easy to communicate with during the planning process, and I cannot express how much it meant to our families to be able to be "present" at our wedding and unconcerned with the million details that it takes to pull off a wedding. Our wedding was just what we wanted it to be, and it would not have happened without Blue Dahlia!
