If you want a perfect wedding and pain free planning process, please hire Natalie. She is absolutely incredible!!! I had the honor and pleasure of working with her for two years (the length of my engagement) and she was with me the entire process. Any questions I had, any meetings to attend, emails to answer, Natalie was always first on it.

My wedding was a large wedding (200 people) and included a full weekend of events in two different cities (Tampa and St Pete). If it wasn't for Natalie, none of it would have been as amazing as it was. She was literally worth EVERY PENNY AND SOOO MUCH MORE.

P.S. She knows all the best vendors which is a huge help.

I just want to thank you so much for making Stephanie & Andrew's wedding day go so smoothly & perfectly. Stephanie even said that if anything went wrong, we didn't know about. I hear about at least one major glitch in almost every wedding. The guests were overheard saying it was the best wedding they had been to in a long time. Everything was just wonderful.

As sad as I am that our wedding day has come and gone, I am sad to not have the daily/weekly emails back and forth with Natalie. Living in Columbus, Ohio and planning a wedding in Tampa, Florida was definitely a trying task at the beginning. However, I immediately knew that getting a planner would be necessary. When we were given a list of planners to pick from (in which we did blindly- phone calls from miles and miles away) no one clicked and I had almost given up hope until speaking with Natalie. I immediately knew she was "the one"! Natalie's professionalism, attention to detail, quick responsiveness, complete honesty, and overall personality made our entire wedding planning a breeze. She helped me stick to budget when I was trying to blow it out of the water :) and always gave honest feedback! She came equipped with a wealth of knowledge and superb vendors! My now husband, who was happy with whatever I decided, even said he was highly impressed with how amazing Natalie was! Our wedding day went by flawlessly and if there was an issue, we did not know! Natalie and her sister, Jennifer, helped to make the entire day perfect! I loved seeing them run around in their hot pink shoes!! It was awesome!! If we had to do it all over again, I would not hesitate to go straight the Burkle sisters!! Thank you can't be said enough for how perfect they were for us, our family, and our fantastic day!!

Working with Burkle Events and having them there on our special day truly made our wedding come together beautifully and all our dreams comes true. When you are getting ready for the big day and you and your guests feel everything is going perfectly and smoothly, then you know you truly have an amazing wedding coordinator, and that's exactly how it was for us! They are professional, but so genuine and show that they sincerely care for the couple, wedding party, and guests! It was so amazing that the day and night went down with almost no mishaps, which is a miracle in itself when you bring 200+ people together in one place!

I can't recommend the Burkle Girls enough. I retained them for their "month of" services and received so much more. Natalie was a fabulous sounding board, helpful, and a terrific resource for vendors. She handled the wedding day smoothly and professionally. Do you really want your friends and family worrying on your wedding day about place card holders and where the florist is? Given that I knew nothing about planning a wedding, having Natalie as an ally was so comforting.

Natalie and Jennifer were amazing! We don't consider ourselves the creative type and had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. We were in dire need of assistance! Our friend referred us to Burkle Events and assured us they were the best and worth every penny! After going through the process with them, I couldn't imagine it doing it by ourselves. They made every step of the process simple and easy and allowed us to focus on having a blast! Zero regrets, great wedding and people still talk about it to this day nearly a year later. If you are considering hiring Burkle Events, just do it. You will not regret it!!!

We worked with Natalie for over a year to plan the wedding and every step of the way she was full of tips and recommendations and advice that was invaluable to us. She kept us on track, scheduled and attended appointments with vendors, and was always very quick to answer any questions we had. When it was all said and done, we had spent more than we originally planned on the wedding itself but I don't regret it. The day was absolutely beautiful and stress-free for not only us, but our family and friends! I handed over boxes of decor to Natalie the night before and her and Jen took care of everything the day of and it turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!

Excellent, wonderful and delightful to work with. Very responsive and very positive. Extremely calm along with very good attention to details. Extensive research done to compare reputable vendors and their professionalism.

Natalie was the organized best friend every girl should have while planning her wedding. My mom lives in another state, and I knew I needed someone to help me plan my dream day. I hired Burkle Events right after we got engaged and opted for the full package (best decision ever). Natalie suggested vendors, scheduled meetings, attended any meetings I wanted to her to go to with me, coordinated with all the vendors prior to the big day to schedule a timeline, made sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there, and brought the vision I had in my head to real life. Her vendors were all amazing and provided discounts because of Natalie. The one vendor I chose to use instead of Natalie's suggestion was for our cake, and it ended up leaning at the ceremony. I learned my lesson! Natalie is experienced, knowledgeable and trust-worthy. I should have gone with her vendors for everything! not to mention, she and Jen are just the most awesome people ever! You will want to be their best friend. Trust me, hiring Burkle Events was my best decision after saying yes to my hubs!

My fiancé and I work on cruise ships and hired Natalie 14 months before our wedding. We were home for 2 weeks and then went away for work, returning only 6 weeks before our wedding. Through email, phone calls, and lots of long distance, our whole wedding got planned seamlessly!
Natalie kept me on task and continually checked in throughout the long planning progress, even if only just to make sure I was doing okay and to see if I had any questions that needed answering. She was happy to make the drive over to my city quite a few times so that we could walk through every detail together.
The day of the wedding, Natalie was here, there and everywhere all at once! From ensuring the reception venue was set, to helping fix a bridesmaid dress crisis, to fanning me with my dress before I walked down the aisle, she handled everything calmly and efficiently. This continued during the reception; Natalie was always just nearby to let us know what was next, to make sure we had food to eat, and for any questions we had.
I cannot recommend Natalie strongly enough! I wasn't sure if I could afford to have a wedding planner, but to brides everywhere, this is definitely something you should budget for! So many times on the wedding day, I had no idea where any of the vendors were or what they were doing, had no idea that there were any hiccups with transportation or my cupcakes (found it out later!).....it was wonderful! I was able to focus on the important thing, my marriage to my husband, and enjoy every last second without a single worry.
When people ask about my wedding, I can truly say that it was perfect. Any problems that arose were unbeknownst to me until after the fact and I spent my time soaking in the moment and enjoying my family and friends, thanks to Natalie. This is how you want to spend your wedding as a bride; Burkle Events will make that happen for you! They definitely did for me!
