The evviva studio team - absolute perfection
There are truly no words to articulate just how impactful and CRUCIAL Kat and her team at Evviva Studio were on our wedding day! From our very 1st meeting to the actual day, Kat was professional, attentive to alllllll the details that come along with weddings, patient, and KIND!
The Process Leading Up to "The Big Day":
Kat & I had our first consult call a few months before our wedding day. Before talking with her, I felt nothing but overwhelming anxiety & stress for everything that a wedding brings - centerpieces, timelines, signage, you name it!! We spoke for over an hour about my feelings, the actual wedding, the venue, and what her team could do to help truly make it the best day, and wedding planning process, possible. After talking with Kat, it was like all the stress and uncertainty that I was feeling completely melted away.
Once we were officially booked, Kat helped us with vendor contract reviews, made sure we didn't forget payment deadlines, and scheduled bi-weekly touchpoints for any questions we might have had. She led all vendor communication while keeping us informed on all responses. At this point in my life, I was juggling moving away from home, a promotion at work, and was in the home stretch of planning a 200+ person wedding. I truly, genuinely have NO IDEA how I could have done anything for our wedding without her and her team.
The week before our date, Kat created and presented a 17-page timeline for the day-of, outlining EVERYTHING that was going to take place before, during, and after the wedding. I was beyond blown away at her attentiveness to detail while also making the experience for us fun and enjoyable.
"The Big Day"
The night before our wedding, Kat ran our rehearsal for us (twice!) while also making sure we were all set for the next morning. The next day, Kat and her team (consisting of Kait and Kharisma) showed up exactly when they said they would, bringing an infectious energy with them!! They handled EVERTHING from there - and I mean EVERYTHING. Someone needs to pick up the flowers? They're on it. A vendor has a question/forgot something? They're on it. A guest doesn't remember what time the ceremony starts/where to be? They're on it. Kat and her team were there to assist in moments I didn't even realize would come up. For example, right after the ceremony, my dress needed to get bustled. For the life of us, my mom and sister couldn't find the hook it was supposed to connect to. Both Kat and Kharisma jumped right in and got me situated just in time for cocktail hour! Another example was needing to freshen up before cocktail hour/the reception. I bought perfume specifically for the wedding day and accidentally left it in my room instead of bringing it to the bridal suite. Kharisma and Kait jumped right in and helped find the room key/the perfume so I could put some on before heading in! It was the big things, and the little details like that, that truly made Evviva Studio the BEST of the BEST. They were with us every second of the day right up until the very end (in this case, almost 2 am!!). It's because of Kat, Kait, and Kharisma that I got to truly be in the moment throughout the day. I absolutely owe it ALL to them!
When you work with Kat and the entire Evviva Studio team, you aren't just getting a day-of coordinator. You are getting One of One, the ultimate wedding planner, and the kindest/gentlest souls imaginable. The BEST decision I made for our wedding was working with Evviva.
