The best person to work with!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Evan and One for the Books as our wedding coordinator, I can't express how grateful we are for the incredible experience it was. Evan brought unparalleled joy, professionalism, and dedication to every aspect, she went above and beyond making sure every detail was thought through and taken care of. What truly stood out was her ability to handle unexpected challenges, like the rain that surprised us on our big day. Evan's presence and effortless decision making helped me remain calm and gave me the ability to enjoy my wedding even more.

Her passion for her work and her clients is truly commendable. Hiring Evan for our wedding was the best decision we made!
Evan, thank you for making our special day truly magical!

Best planner out there!

When my husband and I first got engaged, I knew literally nothing about weddings except for the handful I had gone to. I did not know remotely where to begin to plan one. Naturally, I tried to do a bunch of googling, which only seemed to intensify all I did not know. I then contacted a handful of planners, all of whom would send me a pamphlet with packages and prices and would also tell me how busy they were. Evan was the only one who called - she actually called me the next day. She walked me through everything, asked a lot of questions about me and my husband, and told me that she would be with me every step the way - and she followed through non that promise. She went to all my venue viewings with me, assured me that everything was my decision when I was getting pressure from vendors I didn’t know, and emphasized the things that were most important to us. Evan was very transparent and straightforward when needed, taking charge when we did not know what to do. She was also very loving and kind, knowing that as much as this was an event, it was also a symbol of a new beginning. She did not make us feel like we were just one of her clients, but more like family. If you are in need of a planner and/or a friend, please do not hesitate to reach out to Evan - she is a miracle worker.
