best investment

Hailey was absolutely amazing. Hands down the best decision made about a month before our wedding was hiring a Hailey. She was on top of everything and made the day flawless for us.

Bride Clone

Hailey did such a fabulous job for our wedding. We live in Iowa and it was hard to plan a wedding out of state and lug all of our stuff up to MN but Hailey helped soooo much. She even took time to meet with me and go over all the details. She helped and did everything we asked and then more, including making sure the day went smoothly and timely. Hailey was always friendly and upbeat too.
Worth every penny!

Above and beyond

Hailey was wonderful! She anticipated my needs, took care of everything I asked her to, and even things that I didn't ask her to. Any problem I had she was on top of it without even a thought and did it with a smile. She was incredibly prepared and had anything that I had forgotten, and was very orgranized. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

No-stress help!

Hailey was a HUGE help in keeping my wedding day smooth and stress-free. We did a do-it-yourself wedding to save costs and because my ex-MIL was supposedly good at putting together weddings (she was not- it was horrible and stressful). Thank God Hailey was there for me! She provided excellent comic relief for me the whole day, made sure I always looked my best, and most importantly made sure no body came at me to take care of anything I shouldn't have to (believe me, they tried) so I could relax and try to enjoy the day. She was easily the best thing about the wedding!

Best money spent!

It was amazing having someone there who worked for ME! She didn't have a money making agenda, she just helped make sure I remembered to book everyone and then day of, she made sure no one called me and she took total charge. Best money spent on my wedding day! Worth every cent!

Bride's Extra Help

Hailey was very good at making sure minimal stress was happening on the big day. She came prepared with everything you could think a bride and bridal party could need. Needle and thread, hairspray and a friendly reminder to let her handle the things needing additional arrangements. I felt confident with her ability to relay messages to staff for setup and would recommend her to anyone wanting a spare set of hands and professional attitude.
