If you read one review for A+J, choose this one

I could probably fill a book with what Anna and Jordan did to make our wedding the perfect fever dream that it was. Their connections, their vision, their work ethic, their MILITANT attention to detail. As a type-A person with a big support system, I was one of those gals who questioned whether or not I really NEEDED a wedding planner. If that sounds like you - you do not need a wedding planner, you need Anna and Jordan. The vendors they brought to our team and the lack of stress alone justified the cost ten times over; I firmly believe I would have paid more money to get less of what I wanted without them. That being said, in an industry where it feels like everyone is asking you to cough up more money, A+J have something so special - heart. We were initially supposed to get married on December 31, 2021. On December 26, I called Anna - a wreck - because a person the wedding couldn't go on without had just tested positive for COVID. We were going to have to postpone our wedding that was less than a week away. And they just... did it. No angst, no hesitation. Anna rallied her troops and turned the freaking Titanic, executing the most seamless reschedule in less than 24 hours. ON TOP OF THAT - she and Jordan still helped us get married that Friday, coordinating florals and photography so we could still have a beautiful, documented micro-celebration on the day we intended, in addition to the big wedding rescheduled for April. It is no exaggeration to say I literally couldn't have done any of that without them. Through every high and low, they were there. It was more like having two besties plan your wedding; that's how much they care. If that's the kind of experience you want during one of the most stressful, emotional, expensive, joyful, important periods of your life (which, I promise, YOU DO) they should be your first hire. You will not believe how seamlessly all else falls into place after that.

Anna & jordan must be your planners

Anna & Jordan exceeded all of our expectations when it came to planning our wedding!! We met them a year out from our wedding and immediately knew we needed them to plan our wedding. We had a 300 person wedding that required extensive planning and design but they made it feel easy. Anna & Jordan are communicative, talented, organized and have the most unique design skills! Leading up to the wedding, they were working on our wedding all hours of the day/night and on the night before the wedding told me, “if it’s 2am and you have a thought, text us.” They were so dedicated to making our wedding everything we dreamed of. They even had additional team members on the day of our wedding to ensure a seamless timeline. You must chose Anna & Jordan as your planners!!!!

Anna and Jordan are the best!

We planned our Baltimore wedding from Atlanta, so we figured out fairly quickly we were going to need help. Working with The Otherside Creatives was the BEST decision we made. We had already booked a few vendors before we started working with them but Anna and Jordan were able to provide recommendations for everything else we needed. Their florist recs were AMAZING. Throughout the planning process they had answers for every question we had and were so helpful. They helped us go over contracts that we signed before we started working with them and helped us get clarification from those vendors. They went to bat for us multiple times to make sure we were getting what we signed up for. Anna and Jordan were both so calm and that helped us feel more at ease with all the decisions we were making. They are completely honest about what you do not need, which is super refreshing. They coordinated with all our vendors with timelines, questions, and really anything and everything in between. They made sure that the day was planned to be exactly what WE wanted. Day-of, The Otherside team was completely amazing. If anything went wrong, we had no idea. We didn't have to think about anything - we had a schedule that everyone was working to. It made our day completely stress-free. I never had anyone reach out to me with any questions or issues. Anna kept the whole event running smoothly and on schedule, making adjustments as needed but again, so calm! We were able to completely enjoy the entire day because of their hard work, planning, and coordination. I can't imagine not having them on board for our big day. You NEED Anna and Jordan in your corner on your wedding planning journey.
