The BEST wedding planning team!

The best decision we made early in our engagement was hiring Black Tie Optional to be our wedding planning team. Chelsea and Cameron absolutely crush it. From the initial consultation to the final send-off, they greatly exceeded our expectations.

Their vendor recommendations were spot-on, and they worked seamlessly with each vendor to ensure a flawless execution. Their organizational skills are unparalleled - every detail was accounted for, and the timeline for the weekend's events was perfectly paced. Chelsea and Cameron offered invaluable design tips and advice, helping us bring our vision to life.

We had an untraditional wedding with ceremony and reception on two separate days, which was like planning two entirely separate weddings. We could not have pulled off either event without them. Chelsea expertly navigated family dynamics with grace and ease, always reminding us to put our needs and desires first, while keeping our loved ones happy and involved. We wanted her opinion on everything because she has great taste and understood our vibe. Cameron was the detail oriented, “yes girl” I needed on my wedding day taking care of absolutely everything with the best attitude and energy.

If you want an absolutely incredible team, enjoyable planning experience, with the ability to bring your wedding dreams to life hire Black Tie Optional - they truly are the best in the business!

Truly the BEST wedding planners – we are so grateful!

Don’t think twice when deciding if you need a planner for your wedding or not – you do + it’s BTO.

BTO was recommended to us by our wedding venue, because I had already decided on a lot of the big things needed for the wedding, but I knew I was still going to need plenty of extra help. I was interested in talking with them because they offered different packages for planning, which many other planners didn’t offer and from the very first time I reached out, I knew we were in great hands. We got a response within minutes and were paired with a planner just a few days later to see if it was the right fit—which it absolutely was! Every step of the way, the team was incredibly helpful, kind, and patient in answering all our questions and making sure we felt supported.

The owner, Chelsea, was the first to call and she was such a bright light throughout the process. She personally took time to walk us through things we weren’t sure about towards the end and ensured we never felt overwhelmed or lost.
We worked mostly with Jenny who was beyond amazing to work with!!!! As someone planning from out of state, we live in Georgia and were planning our wedding in Arizona, the support we received was priceless. We could reach out on the website, call, send a text, or email and Jenny always tried to work around time zone differences and always made time for calls and updates. When Jenny stepped in and took care of a vendor we couldn’t get in touch with—we didn’t even have to worry about it. It was handled so smoothly and quietly that it gave us peace of mind without any added stress. Might I add, that they were essential in getting final details figured out for the wedding. She held the vendors accountable for the things stated and signed in our contracts, and made sure that we were getting everything that was agreed to. Through every detail, she made us feel completely confident and taken care of—like you had our backs no matter what. She was prepared when the wind wasn’t settling if we needed to go inside and stayed on top of any changes that were lined up to happen, but we were lucky to be able to eat outside! Having a backup/contingency plan is worth it knowing that they are on top of all weather changes.

One of the most memorable moments of the day was how seamlessly everything flowed—from the ceremony to the reception, everything transitioned so smoothly that we truly got to be present for every part of it. We weren’t watching the clock or worrying about what came next because the Black Tie Optional team had it all under control. The team kept everything organized and running on time, handled communication with vendors, and always made us feel like we were in the best hands. We didn’t have to worry about a single detail the day of—and that’s the biggest gift you can give to a couple on their wedding day.

Getting to work with Jenny in person was so special, and we truly couldn’t have imagined our day without her and this team behind it. 12/10 would recommend working with BTO for your wedding. If you’re looking for planners who are not only organized and talented but also deeply kind and invested in making your day perfect, look no further. They are amazing. It’s hard to put into words how incredible their help was and to thank the team enough for everything they did.
