A Wedding Planner who Truly Plans
I am writing a detailed, long review in hopes of helping a to-be-bride easily make the decision of who to hire as their wedding planner, since I initially had so much trouble finding an actual planner in the literal sense of the word.
After meeting with 5 wedding planners, I noticed that what they all were offering was merely following my directions, asking what I wanted, how I wanted, etc. and would just be executing exactly what they wanted me to tell them. None were going to “plan” but would be coordinating things based on what I had to tell them. After a while I decided that by taking this route I would be enduring the same amount of stress and anxiety, and did not need to pay to have someone call vendors, rental companies, etc. on my behalf, seeing that I could do this mostly on my own.
Ready to forget about a wedding planner, at the suggestion of my now-husband’s aunt who had hired Narose and her team previously, I decided to give it one more shot. I don’t know whether it was luck, fate, or God looking out for me, but whatever it was, it was the best thing that happened in terms of planning our dream day.
Both my husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about Narod and how instrumental she was in making our wedding nothing short of perfection! Unlike many “planners” I had met with, who simply coordinate and execute based on a couple's directions, Narod goes above and beyond by actually helping you craft that vision in the first place. She doesn't just nod and follow instruction, she actually brings ideas, inspiration, and fresh perspectives to the table, making the entire process feel exciting rather than overwhelming. On top of all that, she does so within your budget.
From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand our style, personalities, and priorities. Whenever we felt stuck or unsure, she provided creative suggestions that we never would have thought of on our own. Whether it was unique decor ideas, timeline tweaks to make the day flow more smoothly, or vendor recommendations that perfectly matched our vibe, she always had thoughtful, well-researched input.
For us, one of the biggest stressors of wedding planning was the decision making process which is time consuming, stressful, and seemingly impossible. However, Narod made everything so much easier by narrowing down choices, offering expert advice, and reassuring us when we needed it. She has this incredible ability to take scattered thoughts and your imagination and turn them into a cohesive, stunning, and personalized event.
On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly, and we were able to fully enjoy every moment because I knew she had everything handled. Our guests were raving about how beautiful, fun, and well-organized the entire day was, and as much as I wanted to take credit, I know that’s all thanks to her.
If you’re looking for someone who does more than just coordinate logistic…someone who genuinely guides you through the process, lifts the burden off your shoulders, and helps shape your vision into something truly magical, then Narod is who you want and need. Hiring her was, without a doubt, the best decision we made for our wedding and both my husband and I are confident in recommending her to anyone. Thank you, Narod!
