A highly recommended company

As a vendor, I work along side some of the best wedding professionals across the state. Fortunately, I've been able to work with Patrick for quite a few weddings, and I'm blown by the details I receive for each of them. It's the little things that some may not include you on, and he makes sure that information has been relayed so there's no chance of a communication error. I'm always excited to work along side this company because I know it will be perfect. I always tell the B&G, if you have Patrick, you are in good hands!

Magnum Opus Makes Wedding Wishes Reality

Patrick and Glen are the epitome of wedding planning perfection!

Their experience shines through with every question they ask, every tiny detail they cover, every inevitable mistake they fix, and every conversation you have with them. Our wedding day would not have been the absolutely seamless hit it turned out to be if it hadn't been for their diligence and innovation. They made sure everyone involved did their job, everything was set up as agreed upon, and when there was an opportunity to make something better, they did.

For example, our wedding cake (from a vendor I will never trust again) came in looking like a hot mess. We asked for a dark blue to creamy white ombre (bottom to top). When I tell you it was the color of a blue crayon and a very haphazardous ombre, I am not exaggerating. In my eyes, it was a total aberration. And without even asking, they uplit the abomination so that the hideous blue would not be the focus, but the top might pop more. That defines for me the quality of absolute service and understanding. There was something about that move that calmed me (even though seeing it up-close I wanted to throw the cake out the window). Patrick and Glen knew that the cake vendor had not delivered and did their best to make it something I could live with. It meant a lot!

They even kept my Hispanic family moving through function events on time– a Herculean task. I would hire them again to plan another absolutely unforgettable and enjoyable event.

Simply the Best!

I'm not sure our wedding would have turned out as perfect as it was without Patrick. He was organized, honest, and an absolute delight to work with. His knowledge of local vendors is extensive, and his ability to to understand our vision helped make our day unforgettable. There is no better planner out there. Everything on our big day ran smoothly, all thanks to Patrick.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
