This is long overdue but I cannot let another day go by without acknowledging Michelle Schurman and her crew at Flyte 44. I felt worry-free with Michelle Schurman. She organized, coordinated, and directed my wedding exactly how we envisioned the event; a tropical theme wedding.
Hiring an experienced wedding coordinator is the best decision ever made. After putting together one wedding, and two quinceañeras myself,
Michelle knew the regulations, laws, and liabilities Which were very important to me.
There were some glitches and she handled them effectively behind the scenes. I even had a wardrobe malfunction and her assistant Angel stepped in and took care of it. Angel was great at attending to my guests with limited abilities.
The evening went smoothly!
I’m still blissed and my guests are still talking about the best wedding event they have ever attended! I was a guest at our party. Thank you Michelle and crew for a memorable event

My (now) husband and I will forever be grateful for this team. I’ve never had an event coordinator for anything in life, but I now know who I will go to for all things. The wedding process was not easy for my husband and I, but Michelle made it perfect for us when we found her. She brought back happiness and joy into the wedding planning. We could actually enjoy the wedding process again. I highly recommend her. She is super knowledgable and personable in this field. Any events we have in the future I will hope she is available for because we loved working with her and her dream team. Forever grateful.

Michelle is an outstanding wedding and event planner!

I initially retained Michelle for day-of wedding planning services, then quickly realized I was in over my head with planning and upgraded to month-of planning.

Throughout the full month leading up to our wedding, Michelle worked tirelessly to pull all of our wedding logistics and details together. She also relentlessly advocated for us and our wedding party to our venue, which had a number of onerous rules and restrictions.

Michelle helped us with deadline management, vendor management, menu planning, cost control, and wedding details to bring everything together to create a beautiful and memorable wedding for our families. She communicated effectively with vendors and the venue to ensure that our wedding came off seamlessly - and we did not make it easy on her! For example, I found out on the day of my wedding that I had booked the wrong lawn for my ceremony, and not the one I had envisioned. Michelle worked with the hotel to get it switched last minute to the lawn I had envisioned. Also, our wedding day was a 14-hour affair with 2 ceremonies and 2 receptions in one day, and Michelle worked tirelessly from day to night to ensure the entire event was perfect. She is a champ!

In addition to being highly professional and an extremely hard worker, Michelle is also genuinely kind and a pleasure to interact with. Our families loved her! Finally, Michelle’s pricing was very reasonable, especially for all of the value she provided. I highly highly recommend her!

I don't even know where to begin. I did a ton of research before hiring a coordinator and after my first call with Michelle, I knew she was the one! I originally booked her for day of, but soon realized I would need more help so we upgraded to month of coordinator.
Michelle went above and beyond. She answered every single email, coordinated with all of my vendors, assisted with rentals, stayed on top of updating the timeline with every little change (and there were a lot!), ran our rehearsal and so much more!
The morning of the wedding, I felt myself starting to get a little tense but the minute Michelle walked in, she immediately put me at ease. I think she asked me maybe 3 questions while I was getting hair and makeup done but otherwise, she took control and did her thing! I used to be in the events industry so I usually control everything but knowing Michelle was on top of everything, I felt absolutely ZERO stress and just enjoyed the getting ready process.
My florist dropped off the florals before rentals had arrived and Michelle and her team happily set everything out. They truly made the venue look gorgeous with floral placements, signage and other displays. I couldn't have ever imagined it would like so amazing.
You often hear that the bride and groom forget to eat but Michelle made it a point to pull us to make sure we ate which I really appreciate.

All of my guests were even telling me how amazing Michelle and her team was and noticed how in control of the night she was.

Michelle- I cannot thank you enough for helping to make my wedding the best night of my life. I appreciate you and hope to work with you again in the future!

Michelle and her team were so attuned to our wedding planning needs and gave us a lot of helpful feedback and insight. We feel they went above and beyond to make sure we got the celebration we wanted. We're eager to refer friends and family to Michelle's team- we know their wedding would be in good hands.

We could not be happier with our experience with Michelle and Flyte44 Events. Michelle was amazing every step from our initial meeting until our Wedding. We decided to go with the month of package. That included helping us find a list of vendors. That was a huge help. We went with most of the vendors that she provided to us. She goes above and beyond to make sure that your wedding goes as you want. She made the day of the wedding such an incredible experience!

We hired Michelle as our day-of coordinator for our wedding and would do it again in a heartbeat! She was so organized, responsive and helpful. Our wedding would not have gone as smoothly if it wasn’t for Michelle and her team. We hired her for day-of coordination yet she helped me with so SO much more. She consistently checked-in leading up to the wedding to make sure everything was in order and gave us so much helpful advice with her expertise. Thank you, Michelle, for making our wedding day so special!

Michelle was the single best choice we made in our wedding planning process!! Our only regret is that we did not find her first in our planning process and tried so hard to have a go at it by ourselves. Initially we had intended to plan the entire thing and simply hire her for day-of coordination. Navigating the wedding industry, reviewing contracts, and identifying red flags when it came to vendor communication/professionalism proved difficult (How do you know you're not getting scammed? What is reasonable in terms of price and contract terms? Who can you trust? Not to mention the fatigue from reading every last review on every "popular" vendor that comes up on Google...) and that's when we signed on for Michelle's assistance.

Our vision for a completely customized wedding, down to every last detail, came closer to life than we could have ever achieved without Michelle. She provided the perfect balance of allowing us to do as much as we wanted, but providing the guidance and intel we needed to make the best decisions possible. The value she provided vastly exceeded the reasonable fees she charged and without a doubt saved us a hefty sum and prevented countless snafus.

Some of the most helpful aspects of her services proved to be:

- Availability to speak to us on the phone about any and all of our concerns and issues (and there were many considering we postponed multiple times due to COVID). It was a comfort knowing we had someone on our side, with experience navigating this process successfully hundreds of times, to address whatever we needed.

- Referral of talented and trustworthy wedding vendors to meet the price point we were looking for. These are vendors we would have never possibly found otherwise, including up and coming vendors. Her local experience working with them previously added critical value here -- and saved us countless hours of searching and vetting. Consider her the ultimate replacement for Yelp when it comes to vendors.

- Knowledge of who and what to trust, as well as who/what to stay away from. She knew what was reasonable language for a contract, helped with contract negotiations, and reviewed pricing to ensure we were not being subjected to unreasonable terms or costs. This alone was worth so much to us. We already had some experience in a logistical/event planning capacity from our jobs, but wedding vendor contracts were next level complex, and this helped give us peace of mind before we made vendor commitments.

- Creative, out-of-the-box suggestions to save money. Workarounds and resources that we didn't know existed, or weren't sure were feasible. She always had so many ideas off the top of her mind for every issue.

- Keeping us on track. One of the most stressful points of wedding planning was what were we forgetting? What were we missing? What would guests be missing? She was always reassuring, confident, and calming -- kept us excited about our big day!

Michelle is absolutely amazing! We hired her as a month of coordinator for our wedding and she did a phenomenal job! First, she's the sweetest, most accommodating and thoughtful person ever so working with her was just super easy and pleasant. She definitely goes above and beyond and you can tell that she genuinely cares and loves her job. During the month before our wedding she was so helpful with coordinating everything with my vendors so that I had nothing to worry about. She made a perfect timeline for our wedding and was able to squeeze in everything that we wanted to happen on the wedding day even though we had some really tight time constraints. She's also super knowledgeable about weddings in general so it was very helpful to chat with her because she made sure we considered aspects of the wedding that we otherwise would not have thought about.

On the day of our wedding Michelle and her team made sure everything flowed effortlessly! I literally had nothing to worry about because she made sure everything was perfect. After the wedding I got so m any compliments from my guests about how organized our wedding was and I definitely attribute that to Michelle.

I really can't say enough about how amazing Michelle is! I would hire her again without hesitation if I had to do any other big event in the future!

Michelle and her team were absolutely wonderful day of coordinators for our wedding. First of all, our wedding was suppose to be happening last year, but due to Covid, we had to push the wedding. Michelle was very good about rescheduling, and it made the headache of pushing my date so easy. Although I hired Michelle and her team as a day of coordinator, she went above and beyond to make sure we were all set for the wedding. She was available via email with all of the questions I had, and attended a meeting with me at our venue where she was EXTREMELY professional, knew the venue inside and out, and advocated for our needs. She was so great at the rehearsal, and at the wedding she and her team made my dreams come true. Thank you so so much, I couldn't have hired a better team to make my wedding go so smoothly.
