I love Love Birds!

Carley and Cayla were incredible!! Both very kind and fun people to talk to and work with. Carley was so on top of it and handled so much of the vender coordination. She was very receptive to exactly what we wanted and gave us great recommendations for vendors and plans and everything. Cayla took a few vague ideas and made the most beautiful invitation suite that really reflected us and our vibe, I couldn't be happier with the design. Overall, Love Birds is an incredible planning duo and I highly recommend their services!!

Absolutely recommend!

Our experience with Love Bird Events was incredible. We opted for the Month-of-Coordination with the tear down package - both of with were affordable while still providing amazing service! 

Sarah single handedly kept us on schedule when it came to all things wedding planning. Our monthly meetings included brainstorming and pinpointing our actual wants for our day, outlining tasks to complete within the month to ensure timely arrivals, and finally going through a step by step plan for our day. Sarah’s laid back approached was so appreciated on our wedding day. She penciled in alone time and was flexible with day of events. Sarah was instrumental in the ease and flow of our day. When faced with the need to move our dance floor indoors due to heat, Sarah responded with “Give me 10 minutes.” She was key to keeping us on schedule in the end to ensure we exited the venue on time and tear down was efficiently executed. We highly recommend!!

Thank you Carley!

We were planning our wedding back in Des Moines from another city, so we knew we wanted to hire coordinating help. Price per pound, I think we got the most value by far from hiring Carley compared to our other wedding expenses. I'll be honest, at first I thought we could save on the budget by figuring out a lot of this stuff on our own, but I was totally wrong. Carley kept us feeling totally in control and on top of everything throughout the year-long planning process. Having her there to keep things moving during the rehearsal and coordinating with all of our different vendors on the day of the wedding was a godsend. We really didn't have to worry about anything. She's confident and friendly and is a calming person to have around on a very crazy day. Thank you so much Carley!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
