Many Thanks from the Campbells
Tori Oetken and Bella Victoria Events truly made our wedding so special. From the moment we first met, Ryan and I could tell Tori was extremely detail oriented and had a vision for what we wanted—classic, elegant, shabby-chic. Tori always made time to meet up or answer a text message (even late at night) to answer even the smallest of questions. They always say planning a wedding can be a fun and stressful time, but I never really felt the stressed part. With Ryan and my busy schedules, we appreciated how organized Tori was with her planning and timelines, so we were able to stay on track with the things we need to do as a couple to help. She was extremely respectful of our budget and was also able to re-arrange the budget for important details we wanted without cutting corners. Who knew fake eucalyptus could look so real?!
Tori’s main role for us as a wedding planner was with her décor and day of event planning. She was really able to bring my Pinterest board to life with her inventory. As a bride, I didn’t want to buy a lot of mason jars, ribbon, or vases that I had no intention of using again. I was able to go and see all the items Tori had to really envision the décor in the space, which was extremely helpful. With our other vendors, she was able to follow up with them before the wedding to discuss any last minute details, which ultimately took any last minute headaches away from me. I could enjoy the time before my wedding as a bride-to-be. On the day of the event, Tori had a VERY detailed timeline of the day and exactly where people were supposed to be at what time. She let me have my day as a bride with my family and friends, and not as a bridezilla.
We received an outpouring of compliments on the décor and the wedding venue. We have had several friends host their wedding receptions in the same space as ours, but no one, not even us, had ever seen it decorated like that! I could picture the space before, but it looked even better than I imagined.
Ryan and I are so blessed to have had Tori Oetken and Bella Victoria Events as a part of our special day.
