Thank you Steph and Jessica!

Steph was great to work with from the beginning. Steph is very responsive and had good communication with me throughout the whole process. She was especially patient with me and my panic-texting throughout the month leading up to my wedding. On the day of my wedding, her and Jessica were so helpful and really put not only me and my husband at ease, but my parents and bridal party as well. I was able to enjoy my day, no stress and no worries! Steph and Jessica were there for me and my husband every step of the way making sure everything was running smoothly. We got married on one of the hottest days in August and Steph and Jessica were right behind us making sure we were hydrated, cool, and comfortable at all times!! They were in constant communication with our venue, photographer, DJ, and all other vendors and I really had nothing left to do but soak it all in and enjoy my day stress-free. Highly HIGHLY recommend if you want a caring, organized, professional, and all around amazing coordinator!!! Thank you guys!!

Amazing service!

I booked the month of coordination package not fully sure if it was 100% necessary because my wedding venue said don’t waste your money, we have everything covered. I had a lot of vendors and am so happy I booked!
My biggest thing was I wanted the least amount of stress possible. We had Jess during the day and Rhi later on. Both of them were my right hand girls. Anything I could’ve asked for they were on top of it. The two of them were perfect, so calm and my husband also felt like they were so helpful too! Another really great thing was I felt like my bridal party did not have to lift a finger to help me out the whole night, they were able to enjoy the night 100%! if I needed anything Rhi was there. Everyone was able to enjoy stress free!

Stephanie is amazing!

Steph is awesome! I hired her as my month/day of coordinator and it was one of the best decisions I made. Right from the beginning, she was helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. Even before she really stepped in to help, she was always happy to answer random questions I had about wedding planning. A month before the wedding, she started to become the point of contact for my other vendors and did a bunch of stuff on the backend that I wouldn't have to worry about. The day of the wedding she was with me every step of the way. She worked with the venue staff to make sure things ran smoothly so I could really focus on enjoying the wedding. I highly recommend Stephanie if you are looking for a wedding coordinator. She loves what she does and she's great at it!
