Wonderful Experience

My husband and I were honored to have the opportunity to work with A Spoonful of Planning to coordinate our wedding reception. A Spoonful of Planning did a superb job extremely creative, professional, dependable, and helpful. The team provided exemplary customer service our wedding was seamless. The staff went above and beyond their call of duty and we are forever grateful.
The reception was absolutely beautiful we were impressed with everything. Our guest are still talking about how beautiful and well organized our wedding and reception was a month later, as well as, and how eloquently it was done.
The scheduled meetings were set with meaningful agendas, timeframes for the wedding established to the minute. It was a joint effort to work with multiple vendors to bring the day to fruition and A Spoonful of Planning was able to coordinate with all contacted vendors to expedite the process with expertise and professionalism.
In addition, I would like to mention, most of the vendors stated (i.e. caterer, photographer, videographer, venue manager, chair rental, and florist etc.) the wedding and reception mentioned the planning team and staff were one of the most patient and considerate wedding planner' teams they had encountered in their jobs. So well done and keep it up the good work.
A Spoonful of Planning engaged us to assure our vision became reality and they were successful in exceeding their goal. The wedding was absolutely beautiful. The rustic theme was executed throughout the entire wedding a vision that was important to me as the bride. It was better than I envisioned the reception was more like a fairytale come true all at the hands of our superior planner making our dream a true reality.

We appreciate all the efforts of A Spoonful of Planning to make our wedding day exceed all that we could ask or think.
Thank you we are forever grateful for how elegantly you handled our special day!
