Peggy is the best!!!

Peggy was AMAZING! She was such a great support throughout the whole planning process. I hired Peggy as a day-of planner and was able to call her with any questions I had leading up to the big day. She was very responsive and lovely to work with. On the day of she was so helpful and made sure the plans and aesthetic I had been fostering actually came to life. She contacted all the other vendors before hand to make sure they were on the same page and made sure the evening went smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend Peggy!!!!

Peggy is the BEST!

Both of my daughters got married recently. One in June 2021 and one in September 2022. For the first wedding, I wasn’t sure that a wedding coordinator was necessary. I guess I didn’t know all of the rules a wedding planner place. When our second daughter got married, there was not a doubt in our mind that Peggy would be a part of the special day! She met us at the venues and asked the questions that we never even thought of. She always gave the right suggestions based on her vast experience. Peggy was always helpful when we called or sent emails. The 2021 wedding was one of the first “normal” weddings during Covid craziness. Peggy was with my daughter through it all and it was full of decisions, changing plans, and having to be creative. As for the day of the weddings, Peggy was there for it all. She was at the church and reception and had us all organized. Even though both of the venues we used were beautiful, Peggy added some lovely finishing touches! She even brought family members to assist her. I would have to say, if anything went wrong at either wedding Peggy would’ve handled it… Not the bride or the groom or the parents. She had all the vendors information in case she needed to reach them. Some above and beyond circumstances that Peggy help with at our weddings that stand out to me include pinning up my daughters wedding dress that was not altered quite right, and setting up a large Pittsburgh cookie table, the morning of the wedding. My husband loves that she checked on him and made sure that he had a drink and didn’t need anything. After the weddings, Peggy took the time to carefully box all of the special items from the wedding with care. Peggy clearly has pride in what she does and she has a wonderful sense of calm that eliminates stress for all. Peggy is the BEST!!!

Peggy was awesome!

My sister got married before me, and after her wedding, my sister and mom were so impressed that they told us that we needed to hire Peggy again because she was so helpful. We are so glad we hired her too!
Although we hired her as a day-of coordinator, she was involved in planning meetings with our venue prior to our wedding day. She asked questions that we never would have though of to ask, and really made sure that our vision was being met.
The day of the wedding she helped make sure every detail was being handled during the day. She also made sure that everything was neatly packed after the wedding. She really made sure our wedding was stress free.
She is highly professional and is wonderful to work with. We highly recommend using her services!

Peggy is is just so amazing, I felt like I had known her for years!! She has such a welcoming and caring personality that makes anyone feel important to her!! My Brides couldn't say better things about her caring and attentive nature, which in my opinion is Crucial when selecting a wedding coordinator. I would recommend Peggy to anyone who wants their vendors to not only care wholeheartedly but also to fit right into your family!
