Wendy is organized, professional, and responsive! I always thought that a wedding planner was out of my budget, but Wendy was surprisingly reasonable and was absolutely worth it. We had so much less stress in our lives thanks to Wendy.

I also appreciated Wendy’s personality. She was fun, not stuffy, like I had imagined a wedding planner would be. That being said, she was also incredibly organized and on top of the details-a perfect blend.

Most importantly, she helped pull off a beautiful wedding. Very happy!

YOU NEED WENDY AND HER SAVVY BRIDE TEAM !!!!!!! Who knew that planning a wedding could be so hard and this was our 3rd wedding!!?!! Who knew that we would need to regroup and re-plan 1 1/2 weeks until the Big Day????? !!! CORONAVIRUS !!!!! Wendy was our Knight in Shining Armor! We would not have had a wedding if it wasn’t for her Expertise and professionalism in talking and working with our building vendor. This wedding will go down in the history books! Wendy was right there with us, Zoom meetings, phone calls, emails. We always knew what was going on and all the rules and regulations during this Covid 19 time. ( we could not have all of our guests inside the building and so moved ceremony and all activities outside) Again... we would not have had a wedding if not for her! She worked her tail off for all of us!! Besides the weeks before, Wendy was there for us at the rehearsal and all day for wedding. She and her staff were wonderful! Our day, the first part of Oct., was cloudy and a little rainy- Wendy kept positive and guess what??? The rain dried up right at the time for the ceremony! Ceremony was beautiful! The reception was perfect and she made sure everything went smoothly for us! We got to sit back and enjoy. It was a fantastic night for my daughter and her Bride! They were so happy!!!! Wendy... you and your team are amazing! We are so grateful that you came into our lives! We could not have planned this event any better. You are a SUPERWOMAN!!!!! Now, go get some sleep!! ;)

We, at Barnett on Washington, had the pleasure of working with Wendy for a clients wedding. She made our job as a venue effortless. She was very responsive with our clients needs and was very easy to work along side for the couples big day. We look forward to working with Wendy again very soon.

As a full-time working bride with a hectic schedule while also trying to plan a wedding from across the country, I knew that I needed guidance along the way to make my wedding day vision a reality. After interviewing several wedding planners in the St. Louis area, I decided that The Savvy Bride was the one after speaking to Wendy for over 60 minutes during an initial phone consultation. Wendy and her assistants ensured a flawless wedding day and also worked through everything with us for the entire month leading up to the wedding. No question was too big or small for Wendy, and she constantly proved her dedication through numerous email and phone correspondences with myself, husband and other vendors. She helped us choose vendors, kept us on task, sent us reminders to make certain decisions and gave us the perfect advice if we were unsure about something. Lastly, she helped us with some of the emotional ups and downs / decisions, which is priceless.
If you are looking for an EXTREMELY diligent, organized, and professional wedding planner with a passion for her clients, then I would strongly encourage you to contact The Savvy Bride. We invest so much time, energy and money into the planning process, and The Savvy Bride will be YOUR final step in making sure that your dreams come to life. Wendy not only got it done for us, but had fun with us and made it a truly memorable journey. Thank you Wendy and staff for everything! We are thrilled with the result and sad it is over!

We got married this past Spring, and hired Wendy as our planner over a year ahead of time. Even a year out, she was checking in often and making sure everything was done that could be that far in advance. If I could go back in time I would choose The Savvy Bride all over again. Wendy made the planning process extremely organized, always made sure we were feeling okay, and did everything she could to make our vision and dreams a reality. Meetings with her were just like grabbing a cup of coffee or beer with a friend, but I also got to get all of the wedding stress swirling in my head put into action. She was always an email, text or phone call away, and had an answer to every question or worry I had. My wedding party, family and other vendors were extremely impressed with Wendy’s organization and leadership. She made sure everyone knew everything they needed to do, and where they needed to be, every minute of the day. Wendy and her team were rotating around us throughout the day, making sure everyone and everything was in place, but were never, ever in the way. Everything went smoothly and as planned and it’s all because of The Savvy Bride! I chose them after seeing that they were affordable and had amazing reviews, a rare find. I had a budget I wanted to stick to, and Wendy not only understood that, but made sure her vendor suggestions were always in that range. Also, I think all of the vendors I selected after hiring Wendy were suggestions of hers. She knows what she’s doing and she has connections! If you are looking for a budget conscious planner who will be with you every step of the way, and take charge on your big day so that you enjoy your perfect wedding, The Savvy Bride is the way to go. We were so Lucky to connect with Wendy – our day was flawless because of her. Thank you for helping us have the wedding of our dreams, we will forever be thankful for The Savvy Bride!

Wendy - thank you so much for absolutely everything! Dylan, myself and both of our families could not be happier with your services! I would HIGHLY recommend Wendy to anyone looking for assistance with wedding coordination. From the very first phone call, to every meeting and call in between, and to all the details she helped with on our big day, she was absolutely perfect! Even when everything didn't go as planned she was able step in and immediately fix things so no one else had to worry about it. She was such a fun and personable coordinator and I could not have been happier with our decision to work with her! Thank you again for everything!! You were the BEST!

I couldn’t be happier with our our wedding decor turned out! We didn’t have time to decorate ourselves so we hired savvy and it was the best decision ever!! I’m so happy our day went smooth and looked beautiful! Wendi was independent but also kept me involved the perfect amount. I couldn’t have asked for more! Great price too:)

Hiring Wendy as our day-of coordinator was the best decision we ever made. She helped us stay organized and answered any questions that we have via text/phone/e-mail. She was there to help us with our rehearsal and even helped us set up our reception space the day before! She sent out our wedding schedule to all of our family and wedding party to keep them in the know, which they really appreciated (even our best man mentioned it during his speech!). On the day of, Wendy and her team made sure that we didn't have to worry about anything. Wendy made sure all of our vendors arrive when they're supposed to. The entire day felt like a dream because everything went so smoothly. We were able to enjoy our reception and were able to talk to every single guest that was there. Wendy is seriously the best. Thank you Wendy and team for making it the best day ever!!!!!

I wanted a courthouse wedding and my (now) husband wanted a big wedding; I told him that I would compromise as long as we hired a wedding coordinator to help us work out the logistics. After some research, we scheduled our first meeting with Wendy and decided to hire her right away. Wendy was friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly passionate about weddings and helping her clients. This was apparent throughout the entire process of planning our wedding, especially because we could rely on Wendy to answer questions about ANYTHING wedding-related even though we chose the wedding coordination or "day-of" service. She even met with us a few times and offered suggestions and insight that we would have never considered. During the final months of planning, Wendy jumped right in and helped us build our timeline and coordinate vendors, volunteers, bridal parties, families, wedding decor and so much more. Thanks to Wendy and her staff, the day of the wedding went by so smoothly and it allowed us to enjoy more time with our family and friends. All in all, I don't think we could have done it without her!

When I got engaged on Christmas of 2015, I thought I could do it all. My mom was willing to help and would tag along on venue visits, but we quickly found that nothing was fitting both my vision and my budget. Around that time, my dad’s cancer started causing problems, and my mom ran out of bandwidth to help. She wanted to hire a coordinator, and after looking at the options online, I contacted Wendy.

I never made a better decision during my entire wedding planning process.

During our very first meeting, Wendy told me about a funky new venue. It would have been way too much work to plan a wedding there by myself since there was no coordination offered, but with Wendy, all my quirky plans fell into place. Because of her, I was able to dream up tons of details while she handled the logistics. Since my husband didn’t really care about the details and my mom was busy taking care of my dad, wedding planning would have been so lonely without Wendy. We stayed up late texting about details, but also mixing in plenty of jokes and geeking out over Harry Potter. She is extremely professional and organized, but also down to earth. It blew my mind how much she was able to keep track of and how awesome all of her diagrams and packets of information were, and she was great at communicating all of these details to everyone involved.

Wendy is 100% worth the investment. She knows vendors and cheap ways to do things, so she’s great at getting deals. Best of all, though, she helped us structure our budget and made sure we stuck to it. I truly believe that the savings she brought us more than covered the cost of hiring her.

In the end, my wedding was perfect. Any hiccups that happened were handled by Wendy and her staff, and I was able to enjoy my day without having to worry about the details. After spending sixteen months planning with Wendy, she practically feels like family.

I seriously love Wendy, and you can bet I’ll be talking her up to anyone who will listen.
