Highly Recommended!

Frank helped plan our LGBTQ+ wedding from start to finish and did an incredible job. He helped us find an amazing group of vendors to work with, which was especially helpful while living out of state and planning the wedding in Southern California. Frank really made every part of our special day perfect. He was extremely detailed, patient, and thoughtful throughout the entire planning process. We couldn't have found a better wedding planner and highly recommend him to plan your future wedding!

Simply amazing.

From the get-go, Frank was an amazing partner in planning our wedding. Having an LGBTQIA+ affirming planner was super important to us and I am so glad we found Frank! There are little things you do not think of being a gay couple, but Frank had all the right answers and was able to seamlessly navigate the wedding world for us. Everything turned out so beautifully that we actually could not have asked for a better outcome.

Exceptionally Professional

Planning a wedding seems fun until it becomes your own. Hiring a wedding planner alone seemed like a daunting task. It seemed like every planner we talked to was full of generic answers of what they thought we wanted to hear.

Timelines, budgets, professionalism, and attention to detail were all things that I was hoping for, but wasn’t sure if it was completely realistic.

When we reached out to Frank, we were really caught off guard. It wasn’t the usual call. He didn’t sell himself immediately, but got to know us. It was clear that he cared, and wanted to know our story. We were comfortable, which is sometimes hard to find, especially when attempting to plan a LGBTQ+ wedding.

Frank took a long time to speak with us, not just with the above, but also to help us take our vision and talk about ideas that we hadn’t even thought about.

We knew that he was our guy. Throughout the entire process, communication was always immediate, and professional. All options were discussed not only in vision, but placement, and budget. Whenever we found something that we loved but was out of range financially, he somehow showed us alternatives that suited just as well, and believe it or not, better…

When the big day came, Frank was in complete control. It was actually mind blowing to see him work. We could not believe how reassuringly confident, and calm everything was. Frank and his team did not have one last minute panic moment. Everything ran like a well oiled machine….down to the minute.

I used to have nightmares of what chaos would rain on my wedding day, but somehow Frank made it the most memorable, calm, and smooth wedding I have ever seen. To this day we still receive compliments from our photos alone.

Frank, we cannot tell you how appreciative we are for you, your team, your professionalism, your care and courtesy….all within budget.

If your reading this, don’t look any further. This is your guy.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
