I would highly recommend choosing Burst as your coordinator! We primarily worked with Alexis, who really was more of a three-month coordinator than a day-of coordinator. She handled almost everything for us starting at three months out, which really took a lot off our shoulders. She sent weekly updates on what we need to do (and what she was doing), so we always felt in-the-know. She provided a lot of extremely helpful planning spreadsheets that we used liberally throughout the process. Alexis was also extremely responsive and patient with our many (MANY) questions we had in the weeks before our wedding.

On the actual wedding day, she handled everything so beautifully, and we really had nothing to worry about. Many of our guests commented on how smooth the entire day went! She executed everything perfectly and was even able to deliver our numerous boxes of decorations to our hotel room after the wedding so we could spend the rest of the night celebrating!

Burst is incredible. Overall, I cannot recommend Burst enough. Anyone that wants a wedding planner should hire Burst. Anyone that doesn’t think they need a planner is wrong and should still hire Burst.

Our planner, Lizzie, is an incredible planner and a wonderful person. I emailed her multiple times panicking, and she was always quick to respond with a solution. She took so much stress away from the final stretch of the planning process that I was able to be calm and relaxed heading into wedding week. We had multiple other vendors comment on how well prepared we were, especially with our timeline, and that was completely thanks to Lizzie. Lizzie ran our rehearsal, and I had multiple people from my family and wedding party comment on how nice, professional, and organized she was. Day of, Lizzie helped with my DIY decor and did a better job than I ever could have asked for. She also made sure that the ceremony and reception ran perfectly smoothly and on schedule. She’s a literal gem of a person, and I’m so grateful to her.

We also had Cendra with us the morning of the wedding, and she was so helpful! She steamed all the bridesmaid dresses and my veil the morning of the wedding, helped us orchestrate the first look, and kept us on schedule with our different photo locations. It was such a relief to have Cendra keeping track of the time so I didn’t have to worry! We also had Lucy at the venue with Lizzie helping with everything day off, which was great!

Finally, Alexis, the owner of the company, is amazing. She runs her company responsibly and ethically. There was a moment towards the beginning of our wedding planning process where we had significant issues with our (original) venue. Alexis helped us through that situation, even though she was under no obligation to do so, and I will forever be grateful for the way she helped us.

I literally cannot even say enough good things about Alexis.

Our venue (that shall remain nameless because their atrocities shouldn't be aligned with Burst), contracted Burst to work with many of their couples, and that was the one and only thing they did right. Now that our venue has canceled our wedding and refused to refund any deposits, we do not have a contract with Burst. In spite of that, Alexis has been non-stop communicating with us, giving us suggestions for new venues, advising us how to proceed with insurance to get our money back, and more.

We hadn't originally been planning to have a wedding coordinator, but I recommend Burst based on their guest list planning spreadsheet alone! Not even to mention Alexis and the emotional support she has provided.

This review is written pre-wedding, but once we have our (probably flawless thanks to Burst) wedding, I will write a follow up.
