Anne Michelle Is The Best

We hired Anne Michelle for 90 day coordination for our wedding and it is hands down the best vendor decision we made. From the very beginning, Anne Michelle was the best resource and my go-to for all the random questions I had through out the planning process. She always responded promptly and was so helpful. The 90 days leading up to our day, I was overwhelmed by last minute logistics, and Anne Michelle eased my stress and anxiety, and any time we got off a video call or meeting, I immediately felt better. I thought the day of I would be anxious and stressed, as is my personality type, but I was calm, and I think that has so much to do with her. Our day start to finish went smoothly and I know we couldn't have done it without Anne Michelle. Her skill, along with her upbeat personality and positive attitude truly made her my favorite vendor turned friend.
If you're considering wedding coordination or planning, The Hive Wedding Collective and Anne Michelle is your girl.

Heather @ The Hive was a godsend

Heather was truly incredible. She brought a peaceful, centered energy throughout the whole wedding planning process. Avoiding the high stress that can often come with wedding planning was extremely important to us, and she made the entire journey beginning to end, a breeze – for us, at least :)

I have worked with the Hive Collective for many years now, not only as a vendor but also as a client! I cannot think of a more competent group of wedding planners. Not only do they cover all bases, attend to every detail, and communicate clear and timely instructions, but they can handle any last minute change or adjustment with greatest of ease. Additionally, I find that the other vendors they bring on board for any given event are similarly smart, capable, and effortlessly easy to work with. Everyone knows their role and executes it flawlessly. I am so happy to be a part of their regularly called-upon family!
