Ask for Nicole!

Our venue required a day-of coordinator, which in hindsight, if you can afford it, do it! I literally never had to look at my cell phone. Nicole just handled EVERYTHING. It was very clear that her (and her assistant Lisa) were prepared to handle much, much more than what our event through at them, so while we only hired Finer Points for the day-of, they're clearly a sure-bet for full service wedding support. I heard a few things on the day didn't go quite as planned, and I still don't know for sure what those were because Nicole just handled it. I see that as a sign of an excellent vendor.

Best. Coordinators. Ever.

We had such a pleasure working with Lynn, Rachel & Kyle at The Finer Points. As a very detailed person, it was appreciated that I could pass off my vision and trust these ladies would see it through so I could enjoy the day. From the beginning, I felt in good hands. They took notes of everything that I envisioned happening at our wedding. Rachel developed a wedding timeline that was easy to follow and share with others filled with diagrams and notes for all vendors. Rehearsal and Day of were kept on schedule due to their amazing coordination with all involved. I felt relief when I saw Rachel walk into my getting-ready room the morning of the wedding. If I needed anything or wanted anything changed, Rachel and Kyle made it happen. They were able to give me advice when I could not make a decision, they packed everything up so nicely at the end of the night and even secured us dinner/cake after the wedding when we came off the high and were ready to eat. I highly recommend these ladies, they will allow you to enjoy your day and make your dreams come true!!

Top notch planners

We had a fantastic experience working with Nicole and Lynn at The Finer Points, LLC. From the moment we first met, they made me feel at ease, guiding us through every step of the planning process with professionalism, creativity, and unwavering support. Their attention to detail was impeccable, and they truly listened to my vision, turning it into a stunning reality.

On the day of our wedding, despite an impending hurricane, the Finer Points team pulled everything together flawlessly and was always a step ahead of any possible hiccup. The entire event ran smoothly from start to finish. We were able to relax and enjoy the day, knowing everything was in expert hands.

Nicole and Lynn went above and beyond, always offering thoughtful suggestions, pulling together a complicated timeline and managing communication with multiple vendors throughout the wedding weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner to bring our dream wedding to life. We highly recommend The Finer Points, LLC to any couple looking for an stress-free, unforgettable wedding experience!

Lynn & Priscilla have years of experience in wedding/event planning and they make a fabulous team. In addition to being creative, professional, and organized, they are a pleasure to work with. This combination enables brides to know that everything will be handled properly in a stress-free manner. It is important to have a good working relationship during the wedding planning process, but the real assessments can't be made until after the wedding is over. As a floral preservationist, I have a unique perspective in that I get to hear how everything went at the wedding, usually within 24 hours of the event, when the flowers are dropped off for pressing. This is the time when the details are fresh in the minds of the brides and their families. The "day after" reviews that I hear from Lynn & Priscilla's clients are always glowing ones! They often comment on how things went so smoothly, what a pleasure they were to work with, and how they were able to thoroughly enjoy the day knowing that everything was being taken care of. One of my favorite comments was, "the day was perfect, and if anything did go wrong, I didn't know about it!"
