Where to begin? Uyen and I connected through a local foodies group on Facebook in April 2023 when I noticed she had shared some insights about her clients. We instantly hit it off on our consultation call, and my husband and I had no choice but to hire her. We didn't want to research anybody else. We didn't need to. A day after our call, she reached out to us with a venue and caterer that fell within our budget. Mind you, we hadn't even officially signed a contract or paid a deposit to her yet, but she was determined to help us. From that point on, we had countless late-night emails and texts where she would review contracts for us, offer insights on best practices for our invitations, helped us figure out our menu and desserts, and everything else in between. We ultimately chose the original venue and caterer she had sent to us too! All other vendors were of our choosing, but she made sure to review our contracts for us and note any discrepancies we should be aware of and inquire about. She noticed every little detail. Fast forward to a year later, a couple weeks before the wedding, she reached out to us to develop an intricate timeline, detailing every minute, every hour. It was overwhelming at first glance, but when it came to the actual festivities, everything fell into place. The day before our wedding, our reception manager allowed us to come early to set up. Uyen showed up on time, while I was running late tending to other errands (future brides, don't be like me. Respect her time and show up on time). Naturally, anybody would be upset or annoyed, but that wasn't the case with her at all. She took that time to take care of other tasks and even stayed longer than she had allotted for us. Once I arrived, she helped unload our decorations and immediately started laying out our table runners, centerpieces, etc. for us without any need for specific direction. She just has the eye for those things and we trusted her completely. The day of the reception, she was on-site by the time our ceremony had ended. We had a few last-minute setups, but the main things were taken care of. She had everything covered. We even had an extra guest show up, and although I had given her a heads up that it might happen, she was prepared and handled the situation gracefully, simply asking the banquet lead to add an additional plate. She worked seamlessly not only with us but every single one of our vendors - our photography and video team, caterer, venue, DJ, even my makeup artist who wasn't even part of the reception portion. What really stood out for me was her impeccable organization, keen attention to detail, quick wit, while maintaining a calming presence all around. Wedding planning can be a very stressful and overwhelming experience for many brides/couples. I had my fair share of mental breakdowns (mostly external stressors like family and people constantly asking how wedding planning's going and just natural life things), but Uyen was there to see me through it all and make sure that our wedding would be a perfect, memorable day. And that it was. Please do yourself a favor and hire her. Don't research anybody else. She's the only one that can do the job right. Also, she's a very talented baker, so if you hire her, she just MIGHT bake you something really yummy. No promises though. :)

Uyen far exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend her over and over again. We had a perfect wedding day. My mom has been singing praises every day since my wedding. Our guests have said it was the best wedding they've ever attended and it was because of Uyen. My husband was also blown away and said it was the best surprise wedding ever!

She is professional, organized, attentive and so fun to work with. She was always available whenever I had a question and provided insightful advice and feedback when I needed it. The whole planning process was under a year and next to zero stress. I doubt I would have enjoyed the wedding planning process without her expertise. She saved us money and provided recommendations to the best vendors within our budget.

She started as my wedding planner and ended being a friend. If you have any doubts about hiring her, ditch them and just give her a call. You won't regret it.

I know people, when writing their reviews for these kinds of things, tend to seem like they're embellishing their fondness of the services provided. I cannot sing enough praises about Uyen's service, and I mean every word of it.

Uyen was *always* friendly, helpful, communicative... everything you could possibly hope for. She was always available for questions, assistance, and advice. She was excited to work out logistics for our wedding's oddities and personal touches and handled the challenge with aplomb. She saved us five figures from our wedding venue when they attempted to nickel and dime us. She fought for us ardently when our venue screwed up, and was organized enough to provide months of a paper trail to entitle us to significant compensation from said venue.

But above all else, Uyen, beyond just being a spectacular wedding planner, is just a down-to-her-core lovely person, both to work with and just to chat with. You have no idea how nice it is, during a stressful event like a wedding and the lead up to it, to have someone with her head screwed on right enough to not only work out every little stressful detail, but to be a pleasure to work with the whole time as well.

If you are getting married, and can book Uyen, book Uyen. We can't thank her enough.
