It’s difficult to describe exactly how grateful we were to have Stephanie at Revel Together as our wedding planner. We could point to how accessible and professional she is or how incisive, shrewd and respectful she is when working with vendors and venue operators or even how she felt as warm, welcoming and energetic as we wanted the wedding to be. Pulling off the kind of wedding we envisioned was an enormous task that would have easily overwhelmed us had it not been for Stephanie and her ability to problem solve, research and, ultimately, get the job done with style. Most importantly, Stephanie listened to us in the early days of planning, when articulating a wedding vision could be elusive, and effortlessly understood and interpreted the direction we were going for. She carefully balanced our preferences and choices with the bottom line of our budget and we can confidently say that she made the wedding of our dreams possible; a wedding so good that it prompted my dad to not-so-deftly say to my fellow married siblings, “that’s the best wedding I’ve ever been to.”
The first thing we noticed about Stephanie was how friendly, quick and straight forward she is. We met with a number of planners who were one or the other but Stephanie blended that winning mixture with kindness and warmth. We had regular check-ins and she was always available for a call or a responsive email when we found ourselves fretting over one of the million details at play in the wedding. She took our description of our dream venues and found us a number of available options that fit the bill.
Since we lived in Oregon and planned to have the wedding in California, we weren’t quite sure how venue selection would go but Stephanie toured sites and asked many pointed questions, informed by her experience and forward thinking. She gave us a very accurate picture of these wonderful places that we couldn’t visit and though evaluating options was tough, she also helped us narrow down our selections and advocate for us when venues were being nonresponsive.
The wedding venue we imagined was an upscale lodge and series of cabins with dining on site. In our private searches, we learned how difficult it could be to find something like that, especially for the right price. Stephanie not only figured it out but helped us figure out the logistical details that we weren’t even anticipating (like what’s the most efficient way to collect lodging payments or how to handle dining expenses for folks not staying in the lodges). Our guests were staying on site for the whole weekend so even though Stephanie was technically only planning the wedding itself, she still helped coordinate other aspects of the weekend to create a cohesive experience. For every question we had, no matter how big or small, Stephanie had an answer or she was already actively finding the right answers from the right people.
Stephanie had overperformed in every category of planning; so much so, that when Stephanie informed us that we had room in the budget for some extra items, we trusted her to surprise us and surprise us she did. When we entered the reception hall for the first time, she had rented an array of fun and interesting lighting (we always said we were suckers for good lighting) as well as nature-themed flourishes that blew us away and created exactly the vibe that we wanted.
Stephanie truly elevates wedding planning to an art form and we feel so grateful for her part in making our wedding one of the happiest moments of our life, so lucky for the working relationship we had with her, and so jealous of the next wedding she helps plan (because there’s not a chance she doesn’t top herself). Stephanie knows how to deliver the wedding of your dreams under budget and exceeding expectations.

Stephanie was a dream to work with! From start to finish, she executed the planning process in a collaborative, caring, and thoughtful way. She answered my multiple emails, texts and calls in a timely manner, and maintained a positive attitude when the planning got a bit stressful. She worked hard to understand our vision and made it a reality. She helped make our wedding day feel absolutely seamless. Even the guests commented on her professionalism! So grateful to have had her on our team!

We are so grateful for Revel Together's wedding planning services!
Every stage of the way, Stephanie helped us manage our timeline, getting through each process with a full understanding and no stress. Stephanie was always organized, and responded to all our needs. She made the rehearsal dinner flawless with helping everyone in the wedding party know what they needed to do. On the day of our special day, Stephanie managed numerous moving parts and helped us enjoy every minute of it without stressing out about other details. We highly recommend her, it wouldn't have been the same without her and we are so grateful for her experience, knowledge, and exceptional friendly support that made the entire process feel beautiful!
