Amazing!!!!

Moriah is not only an amazing person, but an amazing wedding planner and coordinator. My husband was deployed when we started planning our wedding. I had no idea where to start or how to go about the process. Moriah was with us every step of the way and with every part of the ceremony. She truly made our wedding day the most perfect day of our lives. I reccomend Moriah 100%

The best in the business!

Update - we finally had our reception 4/1/23!
I cannot say enough good things about how Moriah made our dream wedding a reality!! I am in events planning, so I know I was a pretty particular bride, and I had a hard time letting go of control of not being able to handle things myself. But with Moriah I knew that I could let it go and trust her completely. From her super organized planning process a month out to how perfectly she set up all of our decor and floral, I could not have asked for more. And then, I did- I stepped on the back of my dress during our first dance and the seam of the zipper ripped. My mom was trying to sew it back together but it was just not going to work. Moriah drove all the way to my house with the instruction of just finding my rehearsal dinner dress somewhere because I didn't remember where I had put it. She made sure the DJ adapted the timeline on the fly so I wouldn't miss any of the special moments like dancing with my dad, got back with the dress, and people barely knew I had been gone while they had dinner. There's no way I would have been able to enjoy any of the rest of my reception that I waited 3 years for due to Covid and military deployment if it wasn't for her willingness to go above and beyond to get that dress. She wrangled all the vendors, bridal party, parents, and guests with a firm hand but great sense of humor. I can never thank her enough for making the day so perfect!!!

I am so excited to work with Moriah for our wedding. She has been absolutely amazing so far. I wanted to take a moment to write a review now because we have had to reschedule our May wedding and we appreciated her flexibility, responsiveness, and help. We might have to wait 6 more months but I know we are going to be in fantastic hands with Moriah!

Brought the bubbly and fun from day one until it was done!

I'm not sure where to begin- but first...you need to stop what you're doing and book Moriah before shes taken!
Moriah has been the perfect person to work with on every step of our journey up to and throughout the big day. We met her when she gave our initial venue tour, a tour that was booked as a plan B, but quickly became our leading option largely due to Moriah! It was our only tour that finished with laughter, smiles, and hugs all around--we knew we could trust her!
So here's the proof--when planning a wedding, most vendors and venues have clauses about "acts of god"- which is basically code for natural disaster, or in our case, our whole venue structure collapsing overnight (literally the roof caved in).
Moriah could not have been more calm and ready to help us with each and every detail. When she asked if we wanted to continue forward, my fiancee and I agreed that as long as she was sticking around then so would we. In fact, when she called us on a friday afternoon and said she needed to talk, we we're more worried that she was leaving us more than anything else, and once she told us the bad news we both gave a sigh of relief that it was only the venue.
When it came down to the day of coordination, one of the most frequent compliments we recieved was that "our coordinator" was amazing! Our confidence and trust in her execution was limitless. Moriah ran everything so smoothly, having gotten to know us so well she knew which decisions we'd want a part of making, and knew how to improvise if anything got off track. On top of all this, incase she fools you by her calm and collected presence (even though i'm sure she was super busy) any time my wife or I needed something all we had to do was ask, and we knew it would be done immediately and to perfection.
Lastly, I can say she truely always puts her clients first. On our wedding day we had a minor mistake with storing one of our decorations, which we're confident was likely our miscommunication, but Moriah took full responsibility and offered to reimburse us, because thats the kind of person she is.
We're glad Moriah was always there to keep us on track, because we often found ourselves just wanting to catch up on life and get to know her more, as she became a great friend and someone we're truely sad we no longer have any wedding planning meetings with.
In case you missed it the first time, book her immediately, you won't regret it! You'll have the grandest time laughing and enjoying every step of the way to the alter!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
