Truly the best!

There are not enough words to describe how much we appreciated having A Perfect Pair help us with our wedding. Malia and Emilee truly went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly. They were very detail oriented and left no questions unanswered as it pertained to how we wanted our wedding day to look and run. It is hard to plan a wedding and there are a lot of moving parts, but knowing APP was working behind the scenes to coordinate our vendors, make an amazing detailed timeline, ensure that nothing was missed, and make sure that we (as the bride and groom) were not bothered, was absolutely priceless. A special shoutout goes to Malia for being on top of her game! From running our rehearsal to running a half mile at the end of our wedding to make sure the police officers let Ubers through the closed road to pick up our guests, she was a true rock star and really went the extra mile (no pun intended)! Thank you again, APP - we loved working with you!

Made the day so much easier

Andrea really helped make our day perfect in so many ways. Everything would have been vastly more stressful without her and her staff. Instead, my wife and I enjoyed our day and had a wonderful time. Strongly recommended.

Worth Every Penny!

Emilee, from A Perfect Pair, was an essential part of our wedding. We couldn't have done it without her! Throughout the entire process, we really felt that Emilee care about us and was invested in our happiness.

After the wedding, my father (who's a pretty frugal guy) commented on how he doesn't know how people get married without someone like Emilee. She is worth every penny and then some!

Emilee is the perfect day of planner! She’s extremely organized, reliable, thoughtful and was very helpful in any question I had. The one thing I really loved was how responsive she was! I never felt lost throughout the whole process because she was by my side helping me make decisions and guiding me to keep moving forward which eliminated my stress.

On the day of the wedding, Emilee and her crew managed everyone with a calm demeanor and excellent attitude!
They knew how to manage all different types of personalities without getting frustrated and kept everyone on time. If there were any hiccups, I didn’t know about any of them!

I can truly say that my wedding day was exactly the way I wanted it thanks to her and her incredible team.

Absolutely flawless execution and we could not have gotten married without Emilee and A Perfect Pair! From planning to the day of our ceremony, Emilee and her team were by our side ensuring our day went perfectly. They were thoughtful and caring and we are so happy they were part of our special day.

Andrea and her team from A Perfect Pair were the linchpin of a wedding day that was impossibly perfect. I’m the bride, and I got to enjoy the moments leading up to the day, and every part of the day itself, because Andrea was handling every last detail. Thanks to Andrea, I experienced my wedding weekend as a bride, not an organizer. I adore her, and can’t recommend her highly enough.

I want to describe a few examples of moments I enjoyed because Andrea was in charge of the logistics. I remember sitting in the makeup chair, with my eyes closed, hearing the laughter of all the women I love most in the world and relaxing into the moment. When I was done, Andrea gently told me it was time, and I put my dress on with my mom and sisters in a way that she invisibly orchestrated so that it felt unfussy, organic and powerful. She also coordinated with my photographer to execute an ideal first look - private, intimate, beautiful. My groom and I were whisked away for pictures, and one of her team members stayed with us and literally wiped down my dress when I walked anywhere near dirt. She asked me every time I got back on the bus whether I wanted water, a snack or lipstick. At the ceremony, I had a few minutes to collect my thoughts and think about the monumental feeling of walking down the aisle to my groom, instead of worrying about whether the procession participants were lined up properly. Same thing for the reception - Andrea kept everything running on time, gently, graciously and firmly (especially when she needed to encourage me to stop talking so the toasts could start, or eat some of our food so I wouldn’t pass out). This is to say nothing of the incredible amount of work she did in advance, building a timeline that was so reassuring in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding.

As a former groom recently married, I thought it was important to put a review on here because when I browse through wedding wire I can’t help but assume that 98% of the reviews are written by Brides and it kind of becomes a “bride echo chamber” with no groom input. But with that said, and as the groom in my wedding, I highly recommend every engaged couple to hire A Perfect Pair. I cannnot emphasize it enough. I was a little hesitant to jump on board hiring a “planner” to help with the wedding, but much to my surprise by the end of the process I was by far the most apppreciative and impressed with their services. Lauren Jackson and Emilee literally go above and beyond in their effort and detail to coordinate, plan, support and facilitate the wedding planning process. If you’re looking for suggestions on how to logistically execute the big day, they’re absolutely vital. In addition to their logistical expertise, their suggestions and ideas created a much more exciting and fruitful wedding for my bride and I. Keep in mind too, if you’re a groom and you don’t hire a Perfect Pair, you only have yourself to rely on when your bride is pulling her hair out trying to coordinate with the caterer, wedding party, parents, transportation, church, DJ, and every other person in universe. Lauren and Emilee provided answers when I didnt know how to proceed, solutions when we we’re stumped on logistics, ideas to enhance the day, coordination for all vendors on the actual big day, a minute-by-minute agenda for all involved (key for the wedding party) and most of all, peace of mind for the bride to help her enjoy the day and forget about the challenges it could’ve presented. They’re exceptionally pleasant and attentive and even my friends and family after the wedding were buzzing about how detail oriented and friendly Lauren and Emilee’s services were for our wedding. Help yourself. Hire them. Actuallly enjoy your wedding.

Signed,

A Groom Who Saw The Light

I couldn't imagine getting married without Lauren and her team. She helped me organize my vision into the most perfect day, while keeping an eye out for anything I may have missed. Who knew so much goes into planning a wedding? :) The day felt perfect from beginning to end, and I felt so calm knowing Lauren had everything covered. I was able to be fully present and just enjoy our wedding day.

All we could think to say about Lauren and A Perfect Pair is that they know their stuff. I am an above average organized bride and thought I had thought and planned for everything. After just one or two meetings with Lauren, there were items on her list that made me realize how grateful I was to have them planning and organizing along-side me. She and her super friendly day-of team prevented last minute freak-outs and solved problems before they existed.

I had a blast working with A Perfect Pair at a wedding a few weeks ago. The couples wedding went so amazingly smooth, and it was probably one of the easiest weddings I've shot in a while, and it was QUITE a busy day! I will be recommending my brides to them!
