Annabel is AMAZING 100/10

Annabel is absolutely amazing. She is the most organized, professional and bad ass vendors we worked with. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her… or if I did I would have pulled my hair out.

The planner of your DREAMS

We hired Annabel for full planning and design and she put me so at ease planning from out of state. She provided excellent recommendations of vendors and provided guidance that aligned with my vision. Having her onsite day of allowed me and my friends and family to be fully immersed in our wedding! She took care of all the rentals and other coordination with vendors, and she was the coolest human. I can’t say enough good things about her!!!

Can’t say enough good about this woman and her amazing dedication to her clients and making their day special.

Annabel was absolutely outstanding. There wasn’t a task she couldn’t handle and was an absolute super hero on our special day. She made everything so easy for us and our people, PERFECTLY planned our wedding and had amazing suggestions regarding timelines and creativity, and was beyond personable and thoughtful with the way that she accommodated our wants and needs. My husband, myself, our wedding party, and family did not have any stress on our wedding day and we give all credit to Antler and Orchid for going above and beyond in preparation for the day-of.

Best Investment We Made For Our Wedding

I cannot even begin to put into words how amazing Annabel is at her job and how smooth and wonderful our wedding was because of her! She has the calmest and most encouraging attitude. I was very stressed leading up to the wedding but anytime we had a call to discuss details I always got off the phone feeling so much peace and way better! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner. She was on top of coordination with all of our wedding vendors so we didn't have to deal with anything a few weeks before our wedding. Our wedding was truly flawless and beautiful and we could not be happier that Annabel helped us create our perfect night!

She truly started as just a wedding planner, but turned into a friend for us.

We can’t say enough positive things about Annabel! She truly started as just a wedding planner, but turned into a friend for us over the course of our two-year engagement as we not only planned a wedding during a pandemic, but changed locations half-way through due to our wedding venue burning down in the 2020 Colorado wildfires, and then experienced a freak micro-burst storm in the middle of our ceremony. I don’t think I would have had the positive, easy, and fun experience I did as a bride without her. She allowed me to relax and enjoy my day without thinking about the million moving parts that went on. Like I mentioned above, we had to move indoors mid-ceremony and our dinner ended up being inside as well. She led the team of vendors through it all and I can honestly say our wedding turned out better then we had originally planned and I wouldn’t change a second of it. Thank you, Annabel, for going above and beyond for us! You made sure we had the most magical, dreamy day and we couldn’t have done it without you!

Annabel was amazing!

We LOVED working with Annabel at Antler & Orchid! She met with us long before our wedding and continued to stay in touch until wedding weekend. She took care of all the vendors on site and made sure everything went so smooth! We couldn't have hired a better day-of coordinator! She'll be your personal assistant for the whole weekend and will not stress you out at all. Would highly recommend Annabel!!

The best wedding planner

Annabel was organized, kind, and was so experienced! We hired her for full planning and she was incredible - she not only goes out of her way to help with wedding preparations beforehand (picked up our cake, looked for wedding decorations, etc), but makes sure that the wedding day was also seamless. She was also checking in our us for water, food, and she even carried a bag filled with emergency wedding things on our wedding day! We loved working with her and she was the most important aspect of planning and organizing our wedding (which was even more difficult this year due to covid). But most importantly, Annabel treated us not just like clients, but as friends - you can tell she truly invests in each of her couples.

Best Day Of Coordinator EVER

Annabel was our day-of coordinator and the BEST investment! She put my mind at ease not only on our big day, but she took care of a lot of the last minute details. She was extremely communicative and easy to work with. Annabel went above and beyond for us making sure every last derailed was just as I had planned and imagined. I highly recommend Annabel to any bride!!

Made wedding planning a breeze

Selecting Annabel to be our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made when starting to think about our wedding. She's incredibly easy to work with - laid back, listens to your ideas, and full of great suggestions for when you need a little bit more direction and guidance. We had a non-traditional wedding and she was completely understood our vision.

She guided us along through the process to make sure we were on track to have everything lined up for the wedding. The week of the wedding she went above and beyond to drop of little things throughout the week that we needed, and put our needs above anything else. On the day of she handled everything so that we could enjoy the day free of stress. She's also just a really cool person and we enjoyed getting to spend time with her.

Best decision of our wedding!

Annabel was the best decision we made for our wedding (aside from actually deciding to get married). She was super professional, responsive and SO helpful. Our meetings leading up to our wedding were always super productive and she was able to provide her feedback and steer us in the right direction. It was so nice to not worry about a thing on our wedding day because we knew Annabel had it covered! From taking all of our vendors information to meeting with some vendors prior to our big day, we knew that she had everything under control.
Our venue had a tight timeline in terms of getting everything cleaned up and out of there the same night as our wedding, so Annabel was critical in packing up all of our stuff (even our wedding cake!) and gave us everything the day after. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and wants them to have the best day ever.. Which we did! I cannot recommend Annabel enough and think that she will make your day that much more enjoyable and fun!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
