Absolutely amazing!!

Natalie was the best wedding planner we could have ever imagined working with! She provided us with so much information and insight given that we were not from the area. Having her as our wedding planner put us at ease since we live 3 states away. Every last detail was planned out and we could have never done it ourselves! My mother and I were able to enjoy my wedding to the fullest because Natalie and her team handled all of the little details and making sure everything went according to plan. We can't thank them enough for everything they did for us! My wedding was a dream because of them!

There are not even words to describe how fabulous Arden is! She was assigned as our wedding planner and i can not speak highly enough of her. She was amazing! She is so organized and our wedding day could not have gone any better. Several of our guests commented on how organized and great the wedding was. I could not have imagined the wedding without her. She spent so much time making sure the day was perfect for us. I am from Louisiana and did not know much about the area, just knew i wanted my wedding there. I can honestly say she made wedding planning so easy on me. She had every detail perfect. I am so grateful for her!

I don't even know where to begin! From the very first contact I had with Jennifer (Warwick), she was absolutely wonderful. She was always so helpful, immediate in her responses (even if I asked the same question 20 times!) and truly made me feel like her most important client (bride). Not only did she far exceed anything I could have possibly expected from a wedding coordinator, she became a genuine friend in the process. And if Jen wasn't available to answer my questions, Joanne or Cheryl were right there to help - and they were just as wonderful!! We honestly could not have pulled off anything more perfect and wonderful without the girls at It's a Shore Thing.

Natalie was the absolute best wedding planner I have ever worked with and as an officiant (and former wedding planner myself), I have done lots of varied weddings. She was extremely organized, caring and professional. I would give her the highest recommendation and would love to work with her again. Brides...you can definitely have the wedding of your dreams with Natalie's help. She is the best!!

Working with "The Jen's" at It's a Shore Thing is always a treat! They truly take care of their brides and put together a wonderful experience for the guests. Each event has been flawlessly executed... although things do and will go wrong at every wedding, It's a Shore Thing bride's never have to worry with Jen and Jen steering the ship. A+ timelines and vendor coordination, allowing me to be an artist and not a pseudo-coordinator!
