Fantastic Job!!!

Michelle did a fantastic job throughout our entire wedding planning journey. From the first conversation to the day of our event she was always there to help with every little aspect. She definitely pours her heart and soul into making sure that your day is exactly what you want it to be. We were very happy that we choose her to help guide us through the wedding planning process and would highly recommend her services.

Perfection !

I have a traumatic brain injury and she was beyond understanding about my limitations. She was able to pivot and be resourceful and compassionate.

Wedding Planners are a must have!

Michelle was great! We had some unforeseen planning hurtles (COVID) to get over and Michelle was available and helpful every step of the way! She managed to relocate, while having a toddler and still was the most supportive and available for us and our wedding planning journey. Day of, we did not have a single worry, and we were able to focus on getting ready and enjoying our day! We were very lucky to have found her, and we truly feel we did not only have a wedding planner, but gained a friend! Thank you for helping our vision of the perfect wedding play out exactly how we hoped it would!

Fantastic wedding planner

Michelle is fantastic at what she does! So helpful throughout the planning process with FaceTime calls, check lists, and venue tours! Extremely helpful during the rehearsal when our rowdy wedding party with getting a little too out of hand. Very hands on day of with set up of our donut wall, guest book table, dessert table! Her photos booth was perfect, we got some amazing photos! Michelle checked in on us constantly during the reception, even made sure we had a moment alone to let everything sink in. I can’t say enough good things!

Officiant, and Wedding Planner!

Where do I even begin? Michelle truly became our best friend when it came to our wedding. Not only did the pandemic throw a wrench into the plans for us, we already had our prior wedding venue go bankrupt last year. Michelle helped us to navigate through rough waters again and again with grace, creativity and empathy. We have felt confident about Michelle planning our wedding since day one, and that confidence hasn't faltered one bit throughout the process. This year we had a small ceremony with immediate family, followed by a small reception with the wedding party only. Michelle officiated our wedding, created a schedule, organized the day's details and created the most beautiful place holders for everyone at the ceremony for our meal. We can't wait to have our big celebration next year with all of our loved ones, especially since Michelle has been planning that with us as well. We love Michelle's Even Planning and ALWAYS recommend her to everyone! Hire her!

Warm, welcoming with great ideas!

“I was so fortunate to stumble across Michelle from Michelle’s Event Planning when she was looking for brides who were having a 1920s themed wedding. That was me! So I reached out to request some information from her and we hit it off instantly. She was warm and welcoming from the beginning. My now husband and I met up with her at Starbucks for our first meet and greet. We instantly knew it was a match. She had some fantastic ideas for my wedding and was eager to help us get started with planning. I found her roughly a year before my wedding, so we got to work together over a long period of time. When the big day finally came, Michelle took care of everything. She used her own decorative flare to help decorate my venue to be absolutely perfect and found quick solutions for any and all problems that came up. She was on point with directing us so that we stayed in formation during procession/recession, and never missed a beat. She was absolutely amazing. She helped make our day perfect. I definitely plan to utilize her for future events, when the time comes!”

Thank you for planning such an amazing event!

When planning my daughter’s baby shower, I wanted everything to be perfect, and knew I needed some professional help. I wanted an event that would be special and safe wiry covid. Michelle at Michelle’s Event Planning was perfect for the job. She has fantastic ideas for decorating, great ways to entertain guests throughout the event, is excellent with social media, has an endless portfolio of invitations to choose from, and most importantly was so much fun to work with.

From sending out the invitations, keeping track of replies, shopping for needed supplies, and setting up on the day of the event, I was able to relax knowing someone I trusted was handling every last detail to make a perfect day!

I highly recommend Michelle’s Event Planning!

Helpful guidance and appreciated support

Michelle was wonderful, and so flexible and understanding when my husband and I had to suddenly cancel our original wedding plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even with just the digital package, we received great service and support!

Just amazing

My husband and I were tight on money, but he knows I am a control freak and would spend our wedding worrying about managing everything. So I spoke with Michelle and she was dead set on finding a way to help me the best she could for the amount I could afford. At first we just hired her to help with the rehearsal and to help with a timeline as we didn't have the funds for her to physically be there for the day of our wedding. But after working with her, and some extra money coming in from our jack and jill, my husband insisted that we needed to hire her for the day of our wedding, even though money was tight it was well worth the sound mind I would have. BOY WAS HE RIGHT! There were so many little things that I hadn't thought about or knew and she was right there to walk me through. I spent my day worry free because I knew that she had it handled. Every moment was addressed with a smile and she kept small problems from reaching me on our special day. I absolutely love her and loved that we took the extra step to have her working that day. I started this wedding planning thinking I could do it all myself, but once I worked with Michelle I realized how much guidance I really needed and she helped with all of it. Highly recommend getting a planner, and I 100% recommend hiring Michelle, she truly is amazing and will take all of your worries away on the most important day of your life!

Perfect Wedding!

Words cannot express my gratitude for Michelle! I hired her as a day-of coordinator, but she really went above and beyond that title. The entire day of my wedding went incredibly smooth. I was completely stress free as I had 100% faith in Michelle and her assistant to handle anything that came their way. Throughout our time together Michelle was organized, detail-oriented, responsive, kind, and extremely helpful. She has a can-do attitude and during the planning process she excelled at keeping me on track with everything that needed to be completed. Time and again she brought things to my attention that I never would have thought of. I had a few hiccups during the planning phase, and she was always there to help remedy the situation or offer suggestions or alternatives. This was not something I expected of her as a day-of coordinator, but I felt she truly cared about me and my big day and wanted to make sure everything was perfect! I appreciated this more than anything. I can truly say that I couldn’t have done it without Michelle. If you want to feel confident and stress-free about your event, you need to hire Michelle’s Event Planning today!
