Fantastic 😍

Isabelle was an amazing day of coordinator! The wedding ran smoothly and everything was on time. So much so, that when it was time for our grand exit, we didn't want to do it 😂.

Professional

I'm not sure what we would have done without Isabelle. I had no idea what went into planning a wedding a started the process from scratch. Booking with Isabelle gave me peace of mind and helped me along the process. She was patient with me and very helpful with finding solutions that helped us stick to our budget. Grateful for her and all of her hard work.

Isabelle Russell with Garden Rose Events and Design was fabulous

Isabelle Russell of Garden Rose Events and Design was the Wedding Planner for my daughter and son-in-law’s “destination” wedding at the Bristol Train Station in Bristol TN/VA. She helped in every step of the way to bring their unique vision to life. She helped guide us through the process, offered helpful suggestions, but most of all she LISTENED. Through a weekend of wedding events, 120 Out-of-town guests, numerous quirky requests and the usual last minute adjustments, our families were able to enjoy every minute, confident that Isabelle had everything in hand with a professional, calm and unobtrusive approach and manner. Her rates were very reasonable and the peace of mind she provided to all of us was priceless. We enthusiastically give Isabelle 5 well-deserved stars and highly recommend her to those starting on their wedding planning journey.

Best Investment

Investing in Garden Rose Events for my daughter's wedding was by far the best money we spent. Isabelle was amazing! She was attentive, professional, and wonderful to work with. She responded promptly to emails. The day of the wedding, when I felt overwhelmed and stressed her calm professional manner put me at ease and helped me feel like all the details were covered. She was my daughter's advocate throughout the whole process. They did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend Garden Rose Events and Isabelle and I plan to use them in the future for my other daughters when their big day comes.

Amazing staff and wonderful experience!

I cannot express how grateful I am to Isabelle and the rest of the Garden Rose E&D staff. They were all truly amazing. Isabelle was SO helpful. While planning my wedding, I was in the middle of medical school clinical rotations and had very limited time to work on wedding things. Isabelle accommodated my schedule, and made it easy for me to make decisions. Not only is she incredible at her job, but Isabelle is also a kind and patient person. I can't say enough nice and glowing things about her and her business. She planned the most amazing wedding for my husband and I. I wish I could live the day over and over.

The best of the best

Isabelle is the absolute best! Things fell through with our first wedding planner a couple months before our wedding, and Isabelle stepped right in without hesitation. I couldn't imagine our wedding without her. She was patient, kind and organized. She was there for any questions I had leading up to the wedding, led our rehearsal the day before the wedding and made sure all of the vendors were informed of wedding day events. Wedding day was flawless thanks to her. Her website is easy to use and includes everything you could think of to make wedding planning easier. We highly recommend Isabelle and her team!!

10/5 stars! Best planner ever!

10/5 stars!! Obsessed!! I truly cannot say how AMAZING Isabelle is. I had a relatively long engagement (14 months) and at the beginning was thinking I could do it on my own. I laugh now when I think about not having Isabelle or Garden Rose Events to help me with my roller coaster of a wedding experience!! From the very start, Isabelle completely won my heart and constantly impressed me. She was so very professional, while also being fun and relatable. I immediately knew I could trust her and boy was I right! With about 6 months left until the wedding, Covid hit. Shortly after that we found out or venue cancelled and we had to completely redo the vision we had. We had to redo our venue,date, guest list, and manage all our other vendors. I cried many tears, and Isabelle let me be sad. But I was never sad for long after talking with her because she made me feel like it would be okay! She also always stuck up for me and made SURE that even though so many big things changed, she worked even harder to make sure all the little details stayed the same. She managed everything and though I know she was probably going crazy behind the scenes, she was as always so organized and on top of it for us . Even up until the day of the wedding (due to weather), there were still possible changes for the wedding location. There were just so many things to juggle. But I knew that all I had to do was show up and Isabelle would take care of the rest. That’s exactly what happened and it could NOT have been more magical. I tell people she had to plan our single wedding about nine times. When the day came, you would have never known that it wasn’t the wedding we planned all along. The only thing that didn’t change during the period of wedding planning was Isabelle as my rock. Isabelle - In the midst of ALL the craziness of 2020- gave me my dream wedding. I am forever grateful to her!!!!

Everything plus more!

Isabelle was the most amazing wedding planner that we could ask for. Having to deal with our Covid plannning and replanning, Isabelle was the calm we needed throughtout the process. She listens and if you ask for suggestions, she has many. The wedding party and the guests all commented on how lucky we were to have Isabelle. She was there doing everything, yet quietly in the wings. She was our secret weapon, and I miss her. At the end of the evening, Isabelle and her assistant, Hannah, had every single item of ours boxed up exactly as we had given to her. Honestly, how do people have weddings without an Isabelle? I feel like I used her for a year and paid little attention to her on the wedding day. I think that is probably exactly what you look for!!!

Mother of the bride

Shay did such an amazing job as our Day of Coordinator! The day flowed so smoothly and we were able to relax and know that Shay had everything under control. I can't express my gratitude enough!

Awesome coordinator! 5 out of 5!

We worked with Candace for our wedding this fall and we had such a wonderful experience! Candace was friendly, helpful, organized, easy to work with, and any other quality you would want in a wedding coordinator.

She made the day completely seamless by communicating with our vendors and making sure our guests were having a good time. Even the mishaps went unnoticed thanks to her organization and problem solving. Candace was detailed and professional throughout the entire wedding planning experience and our meetings with her always made us feel more comfortable and confident that our wedding was going to turn out just as we had envisioned. We truly can’t thank her enough for the work that she did for our wedding.

Best of luck and congratulations!

Awesome planning services from Garden Rose Events and Design! I have worked alongside Isabelle and I can tell you that she's very nice, professional, and on top of every details. I like the fact that she contacts all the vendors to confirm their time of arrival at the wedding and send us all the timeline for the day. I would say that she's a great "wedding planner bridge" between the couple and the vendors. Also her decorating skills are very elegant! Highly recommend!
