Great customer service and wedding planning

Julie is an amazing wedding planner. She is thorough, organized, and detailed oriented. She went above and beyond to helping us plan through the various nuances of prepping for the wedding, including properly budgeting for various different categories of the wedding. I cannot recommend her services enough!

Julie was just a godsend.. she was organized, efficient, helpful and comforting. If we didn't have Julie on the actual wedding day things could have been a disaster because what was supposed to be an outside wedding ended up having to be an inside wedding and she just took care of it. As the mom of the bride I just enjoyed the day immensely. Julie is great at what she does and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Julie is the master in creating a customized and unique experience. She is very creative, but can still able to work within your budget. Julie is very well connected to other vendors which takes the headache out of calling around and finding the vendors that would be the best fit or have a good reputation. I feel that Julie helped me to pull off a flawless and personalized event, that my friends still talk about even today!

My husband and I got married on October 6, 2012. Julie came alongside us to guide us through planning. She took her time to put everything in order. She listened to what I wanted and then worked with me to make it happen. She also worked tirelessly behind the scenes to design our programs. They came out beautifully. I went from hectic bride with a Mount Everest sized headache to a relaxed bride with nothing to do but walk down the aisle.

There are no words to thank Julie for what she did for us. She did a fantastic job making sure that nerves were calm and the wedding went smoothly. She covered all the basis, from the rings to the cake tower.

I do not know what any of us, but especially I, would have done if she had not been there to orchestrate. She is a gem for what she did. I would have been a nervous wreck without her there and I know everything would not have happened so easily without her on our day.

Our sincerest thanks,
Alicia and Dennis

Julie was an incredible asset to our wedding celebration! She has a natural gift for organization, efficiency, and attention to detail, combined with a calm, gentle, and thoughtful demeanor that helped everyone involved in the wedding relax and follow her lead. We had a large wedding, with over 300 guests, and we gave Julie the daunting task of ensuring that everything went smoothly the day of. Julie was a joy to work with throughout the process, devoting time and attention to getting to know us as a couple and our hopes for our wedding, to help us create a celebration of our relationship and our commitment to each other. The day of the wedding, she had everyone in place so that the ceremony was seamless, even noticing that my veil needed a small adjustment just before I walked down the aisle. Knowing that Julie would gracefully and efficiently manage the events from behind the scenes allowed me, my husband, and our parents to focus on enjoying and cherishing the experience without a second thought for details or logistics. As I bride, I could not have asked for a more perfect combination of superb management skills, caring spirit, and integrity than what Julie brought to the process. If I ever plan another large celebration, Julie will be my first call!
