    If you want a perfect wedding and pain free planning process, please hire Natalie. She is absolutely incredible!!! I had the honor and pleasure of working with her for two years (the length of my engagement) and she was with me the entire process. Any questions I had, any meetings to attend, emails to answer, Natalie was always first on it.

    My wedding was a large wedding (200 people) and included a full weekend of events in two different cities (Tampa and St Pete). If it wasn't for Natalie, none of it would have been as amazing as it was. She was literally worth EVERY PENNY AND SOOO MUCH MORE.

    P.S. She knows all the best vendors which is a huge help.

    I can't recommend the Burkle Girls enough. I retained them for their "month of" services and received so much more. Natalie was a fabulous sounding board, helpful, and a terrific resource for vendors. She handled the wedding day smoothly and professionally. Do you really want your friends and family worrying on your wedding day about place card holders and where the florist is? Given that I knew nothing about planning a wedding, having Natalie as an ally was so comforting.

    As sad as I am that our wedding day has come and gone, I am sad to not have the daily/weekly emails back and forth with Natalie. Living in Columbus, Ohio and planning a wedding in Tampa, Florida was definitely a trying task at the beginning. However, I immediately knew that getting a planner would be necessary. When we were given a list of planners to pick from (in which we did blindly- phone calls from miles and miles away) no one clicked and I had almost given up hope until speaking with Natalie. I immediately knew she was "the one"! Natalie's professionalism, attention to detail, quick responsiveness, complete honesty, and overall personality made our entire wedding planning a breeze. She helped me stick to budget when I was trying to blow it out of the water :) and always gave honest feedback! She came equipped with a wealth of knowledge and superb vendors! My now husband, who was happy with whatever I decided, even said he was highly impressed with how amazing Natalie was! Our wedding day went by flawlessly and if there was an issue, we did not know! Natalie and her sister, Jennifer, helped to make the entire day perfect! I loved seeing them run around in their hot pink shoes!! It was awesome!! If we had to do it all over again, I would not hesitate to go straight the Burkle sisters!! Thank you can't be said enough for how perfect they were for us, our family, and our fantastic day!!

    Working with Burkle Events and having them there on our special day truly made our wedding come together beautifully and all our dreams comes true. When you are getting ready for the big day and you and your guests feel everything is going perfectly and smoothly, then you know you truly have an amazing wedding coordinator, and that's exactly how it was for us! They are professional, but so genuine and show that they sincerely care for the couple, wedding party, and guests! It was so amazing that the day and night went down with almost no mishaps, which is a miracle in itself when you bring 200+ people together in one place!

    We worked with Natalie for over a year to plan the wedding and every step of the way she was full of tips and recommendations and advice that was invaluable to us. She kept us on track, scheduled and attended appointments with vendors, and was always very quick to answer any questions we had. When it was all said and done, we had spent more than we originally planned on the wedding itself but I don't regret it. The day was absolutely beautiful and stress-free for not only us, but our family and friends! I handed over boxes of decor to Natalie the night before and her and Jen took care of everything the day of and it turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!

    Words can't even describe how THANKFUL I am that we had Natalie and Jennifer of Burkle Events. We hired them for the "month of" service and they went above and beyond. I was an out of state bride and was very stressed out over the fact that I was so far away. I was totally put at ease once I started working with Burkle Events. Their connections within the industry are so helpful in getting things done. I needed some vendor recommendations and they were so helpful with those. I knew that if Burkle recommended them, the vendor could be trusted. They were also great advocates for us with our reception venue to make sure everything was done as we requested. The ladies at Burkle were responsive, detailed and a pleasure to work with. Above all, I really feel like Natalie and Jennifer genuinely CARED about me and my husband. They worked so hard to make sure we were happy. I highly recommend their services!

    Excellent, wonderful and delightful to work with. Very responsive and very positive. Extremely calm along with very good attention to details. Extensive research done to compare reputable vendors and their professionalism.

    Natalie was the organized best friend every girl should have while planning her wedding. My mom lives in another state, and I knew I needed someone to help me plan my dream day. I hired Burkle Events right after we got engaged and opted for the full package (best decision ever). Natalie suggested vendors, scheduled meetings, attended any meetings I wanted to her to go to with me, coordinated with all the vendors prior to the big day to schedule a timeline, made sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there, and brought the vision I had in my head to real life. Her vendors were all amazing and provided discounts because of Natalie. The one vendor I chose to use instead of Natalie's suggestion was for our cake, and it ended up leaning at the ceremony. I learned my lesson! Natalie is experienced, knowledgeable and trust-worthy. I should have gone with her vendors for everything! not to mention, she and Jen are just the most awesome people ever! You will want to be their best friend. Trust me, hiring Burkle Events was my best decision after saying yes to my hubs!

    My fiancé and I work on cruise ships and hired Natalie 14 months before our wedding. We were home for 2 weeks and then went away for work, returning only 6 weeks before our wedding. Through email, phone calls, and lots of long distance, our whole wedding got planned seamlessly!
    Natalie kept me on task and continually checked in throughout the long planning progress, even if only just to make sure I was doing okay and to see if I had any questions that needed answering. She was happy to make the drive over to my city quite a few times so that we could walk through every detail together.
    The day of the wedding, Natalie was here, there and everywhere all at once! From ensuring the reception venue was set, to helping fix a bridesmaid dress crisis, to fanning me with my dress before I walked down the aisle, she handled everything calmly and efficiently. This continued during the reception; Natalie was always just nearby to let us know what was next, to make sure we had food to eat, and for any questions we had.
    I cannot recommend Natalie strongly enough! I wasn't sure if I could afford to have a wedding planner, but to brides everywhere, this is definitely something you should budget for! So many times on the wedding day, I had no idea where any of the vendors were or what they were doing, had no idea that there were any hiccups with transportation or my cupcakes (found it out later!).....it was wonderful! I was able to focus on the important thing, my marriage to my husband, and enjoy every last second without a single worry.
    When people ask about my wedding, I can truly say that it was perfect. Any problems that arose were unbeknownst to me until after the fact and I spent my time soaking in the moment and enjoying my family and friends, thanks to Natalie. This is how you want to spend your wedding as a bride; Burkle Events will make that happen for you! They definitely did for me!

    I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the work you did to make Rachel’s wedding so beautiful. You were always available when we needed you and never got agitated with us when we kept throwing curve balls at you. I didn’t know how much I appreciated your hugs until I received them at the rehearsal and at the wedding/reception. I could just feel the stress melting away when you wrapped your arms around me. Thank you for including me in the little things – like when Dan and Rachel exchanged cards before the wedding and letting me see the room at the Sorosis before all our guests were allowed to come into the main room. Those things meant so much to me.

    You are a very special lady and I am so grateful that we had you plan one of the most important days in our lives.

    Natalie and her sister were amazing on our wedding day. They made sure everything was perfect. Our day was absolutely gorgeous, every detail feel into place because of their tireless work. The event was seamless and stress free for my husband and I. I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married!

    Natalie,

    I wanted to thank you for making Alex's wedding day so special. Along the way, we had so many little hiccups that by Saturday, I was so happy to have you handling everything. The way you amped up the tables with the flowers and candles- it was just fabulous and really blew me away. I've heard wedding guests use the words, "magical", "sparkling", "enchanting" and "Like a movie." You deserve the credit for taking all the pieces and putting it together. I'm not sure how you did it, but you pulled the vision right out of my head.

    The moment I'll always remember is when Alex asked me to come behind the head table and she said, "Mom, I want you to see what I see. It's everything I hoped for and more."

    Thank you and take care,

    Natalie is the most fabulous wedding coordinator! Not only is she professional, courteous, always on time and always on top of things, but she is a true friend. She helped me when I was stressed, gave me advice, and kept it all together for me. She was constantly available to me via phone and email and always made time for me. My wedding was more than I could have ever dreamed and even my vendors were excited when I told them who my wedding planner was!! My wedding was perfect and I could not have been more blessed to have Natalie by my side!

    Natalie was wonderful to work with. She was so helpful in the planning process. She was able to answer all of the questions I had and give great advice! The wedding day went so smoothly because of her presence and leadership of all of the vendors, guests and especially the wedding party. She calmed my nerves and was a reassuring presence throughout the wedding day and the months of planning! The teamwork of Natalie and Angela at Rocking H Ranch made our daughter's wedding near perfect!!!

    Natalie and her team were amazing to work with. Natalie was always very prompt to provide answers to my questions as well as cared about each and every detail of our wedding day. She answered the many questions my mom and family members had as well. I have recommended them to others and will continue to do so in the future!

    The Ladies of Burkle Events were fabulous!! We hired them for 'month of' planning and it could not have worked out any better. My Mom (MOB) did not want any worries the day of the wedding, so leaving Burkle Events in charge of all the small details and big timeline was a huge weight off our shoulders. I think the biggest help for me as the Bride was being able to tell ONE person want I wanted and when I wanted it done. They were always one step ahead and because they have been doing this for so long they knew how to keep the wedding moving forward and left no lag time between each even of the wedding. I HIGHLY recommend Burkle Events for your next big (or small) event!! Thank you Ladies!! :)

    Natalie at Burkle Events is the most amazing wedding coordinator you could ask for. We met Natalie and her sister Jen when planning a wedding in 2013, so when we knew we had another wedding in the family, Burkle Events was our first call. Natalie's exceptional organizational skills, wealth of information, calm demeanor, and amazing vendor relationships simplified the process. Never an obstacle she can't handle, respectful of all the people involved, prompt response to any questions, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to make your plans and dreams a reality. Throw that all in with warm hugs and treating your wedding like it was her own - you could not ask for more. Blessed to have found such caring and competent people to make a once in a lifetime day so special. The Burkle sisters are a joy to work with - these lovely ladies feel like a part of our extended family now!

    Natalie and Jen were amazing to work with! They made the whole planning a wedding process very stress free!! Once we found the venue, Natalie was quick to help me secure everyone I would need at the price we were looking for to make our day fabulous! They also worked great with all of our vendors and even saved my dress from a little grass stain mishap! Our wedding was everything we could have imagined and more and we couldn't have done it without Burkle Events!

    This was our second wedding with Natalie and Jen. We first used them last year for our middle daughter's wedding, and again this year for our oldest daughters wedding. I can not say enough good things about how they organized the event. They are also a great resource for all of the other vendors such as music, flowers, venue, etc. They provided us the confidence we needed when picking the other important parties involved in that special day for our daughter. After using them the first time, we new what to expect form them, and they still exceeded our expectations.
    If you are planning a wedding, than you need bring in Burkle Events up front. When the day arrives, you will be able to just enjoy it and not have to worry about anything.

    Jennifer and Natalie of Burkle Events are simply amazing. I had them for Day of coordination for my recent wedding, but they did so much more than that. I met Natalie in person at my venue over a year before my wedding. She went over everything and the communication began from there. She helped where I was stuck and gave me recommendations for the vendors I had left to book. She would send a message if it had been a little while to check in and see how my planning was going and if I needed anything. They then set me up with a guy to do my dress alterations (also amazing!) and Jennifer was there for that entire process. They then took over a month before the wedding, leaving me even more stress free and not needing to worry about contacting all of my vendors. They were there for the entire wedding rehearsal as well as the entire wedding until the night came to an end!

    Natalie and Jen are the nicest, most helpful individuals I have ever had the opportunity to meet and work with and I could not have asked for any better. They are amazing at what they do and make sure things go smoothly so you can truly enjoy your wedding day!

    Thank you so much for being a part of our day, you completely exceeded any expectations I had for day of services. Our day was everything I had ever dreamed of and would not have been possible without Burkle Events!

    My husband and I hired Burkle Events for full wedding planning service and it was the best decision we could have made! Natalie and Jen did an amazing job. They are very professional yet friendly, personable and considerate. They were there for us every step of the way from choosing vendors to attending vendor meetings and ensuring every detail was how we envisioned it to be. They were very flexible and always available when we needed them. Natalie and Jen were absolute lifesavers on the day of our wedding. Our ceremony and reception were planned to be held outside until the weather was far from cooperative. With the help of Natalie of Jen we didn't have to worry about a thing. They were quick to set up plan B inside which turned out to be more beautiful than we could have imagined. We will never forget the moment when Natalie came to get us to be introduced and she was soaking wet from running back and forth in the pouring rain helping guests get to their seats and get the bridal party in place. They truly did everything they had to do to make our day go smoothy despite the last minute change in plans. Our special day was perfect because of the Burkle sisters!

    Natalie and Jennifer were amazing! We don't consider ourselves the creative type and had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. We were in dire need of assistance! Our friend referred us to Burkle Events and assured us they were the best and worth every penny! After going through the process with them, I couldn't imagine it doing it by ourselves. They made every step of the process simple and easy and allowed us to focus on having a blast! Zero regrets, great wedding and people still talk about it to this day nearly a year later. If you are considering hiring Burkle Events, just do it. You will not regret it!!!

    I was very glad that I decided to work with a wedding planner for my wedding, and even more thankful that I chose Burkle events! My favorite part about Natalie is that she let me plan my own wedding, she just helped me find the resources to do so. She was very non-biased in what I wanted for my special day- anything I requested she helped me make a reality. She is a great listener and provides excellent advice. She was never offended if I turned down a suggested vendor- she always had another to recommend right away. Burkle events handled everything very smoothly and professionally- I was extremely impressed. One HUGE benefit that I didn't realize was so valuable about a wedding planner, is that all of my vendors had worked together before and it seemed as though they all enjoyed working together. It was fun to see everyone get along and work so well together, from the videographer to the DJ to the florist, etc. It took all of the pressure off of me so I was able to enjoy my day with my new husband and all of our family and friends. I actually got to spend a lot of time on our dance floor and catching up with guests I hadn't seen in a while! Hiring Burkle Events was the first and best thing I did when planning my wedding!

    Natalie and the Burkle team were with us every step of the way and were extremely professional, but very personable, friendly and available to us. They offered their assistance and expertise throughout the entire process and guided my wife on all key steps. We cannot provide enough THANKS for the job they did. They were willing to cover all parts of the event including planning, rehearsals, ceremonies, and receptions. Every detail was addressed and it made all the difference. We were amazed at the availability and quick responses. THANK YOU NATALIE!!
