Carla and her team are spectacular

Carla and her team were made our day so special. She was our month of coordinator but answered whatever questions I had throughout out wedding planning process. Her team made my bridal party bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, and our other floral decor as well as our signs. They did an absolutely beautiful job. I am still getting compliments on our flowers. Carla also helped me figure out I would be able to have my grandfather marry my me and my husband which was so special to us. She and her team made the morning of our wedding so enjoyable. They only thing I had to worry about was getting ready. Our decor was so beautiful and exactly what I wanted. They helped us stay on time, know where to go, and what was coming next which really helped calm my nerves. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more beautiful wedding.

If you want a stress free wedding day, look no further!

Precious Times Events coordinating services were recommended to us by our venue! Carla and her team were always readily available via email during the entire planning process, and became even more involved with our wedding planning around two weeks to wedding day with weekly phone calls! Dallas was our day-of-coordinator and was absolutely wonderful. She made sure our day went smoothly and was ALWAYS finding me and making sure things were going the way I wanted. I am so thankful for her hard work and dedication toward executing a seamless wedding day!!!!

Definitely Recommend!!

Carla and her were team did an amazing job as coordinators and decorators/florists for our wedding! Carla worked with me for months leading up to the wedding making sure that the color scheme and flower selections were perfect. Unfortunately, due to a heat wave, many of the flowers I wanted were not arriving in good condition. Carla called around and very quickly found alternatives that looked great, if not better, than my original selections. The coordinators that were with us on the day of the wedding (Lynette and Marietta I believe) were so patient with us and were on the ball with everything - they really did not miss a beat! All of my bridesmaids and even several of our guests mentioned how great they were. If you're planning a wedding, I would definitely recommend Precious Times Events for both your planning and decor/floral needs. We are so glad we did!
