Donna Kim is amazing. She is organized, responsive and on top of everything. She has great ideas and visions and will help you to plan the wedding of your dreams. She doesn't force anything on you but gives you many options to suit your needs. She completed my invitations, programs, menus, welcome bags and notes, table numbers, place cards and anything else you can think of that you need for a wedding. I even went to her with ideas that I saw on Pinterest and she did it and did it better! I loved the quality of her work and received many compliments on all the items and how perfect they were. I highly recommend her for all your planning and paper good needs and then some!!

I am a Japanese bride from Tokyo getting married to my now husband who lives in California and we decided to get married in Providence, RI. Preparing for a wedding in distance was difficult enough, I was very unfortunate in finding a right wedding coordinator(I fired two prior) till I met Donna. As soon as she started to work with me, I could see why she named her business "Perfect Details" because she really pays attention to small details that are very important for a bride. Being Japanese, I was not an easy bride to work with, since I am a perfectionist and my expectations were very high. However, she made everything possible for me with her excellent communication skills, flexibility, problem solving skills and most important of all with her wonderful personality. When we were first met Donna, we considered her fee was beyond our budget for us so we even turned her down once. However, we have totally underestimated the extent of work it involved to have a beautiful wedding and only after having worked with her, did we realize that the every cent we paid for her was totally worth it, given the quality of work and attention she provided to us. I can promise you that no other wedding coordinator will respond to your mail in 5 minutes like she does always. We were simply amazed.Thanks to her, our wedding was something absolutely everybody complemented and we cannot be happier!! We totally recommend her to any future bride!

Hiring Donna was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. Upon getting engaged, I knew that planning a wedding would be a struggle with my work travel schedule and I knew I needed to get some help. Having attended a Donna Kim wedding the year prior, I knew that help had to be Donna.

From our first meeting, Donna “got” us. We had a general idea of what we wanted for our wedding and very specific ideas of what we didn’t want. Donna was able to take all that in and develop an event that far exceeded anything we could have dreamt up.

Her creativity and attention to detail truly made our wedding perfect. Our invitation suite from the save the date to the response card all hung so beautifully together and all the paper goods (wedding program, seating cards, table numbers, etc.) enhanced the look and feel we wanted to come across as part of the event.

Donna’s contacts within the wedding industry are a great bonus to any bride and groom to be. Donna has built relationships with the best of the best. Every vendor we met with was professional and accommodating and all sang her praises as one of the best in the business. She helped us compile a team to support us on our wedding day that we would never have been able to assemble ourselves.

Importantly Donna respects and helps you stay within your budget. She provides you options to achieve the look and feel with out breaking the bank and helps you make trade offs based on what is most important to you as a couple.

We could not have had our wedding without Donna. For this we will be forever grateful.

Donna did an amazing job with every aspect of my daughter's baby shower from coming up with cute and creative ideas, to even picking up all the rental equipment and cupcakes. She even placed an order for me that I couldn't do during the day while I was working. She had great recipes and ideas for food and kept me on track as to what I had to do. It was a big undertaking that I couldn't have done without her! She is the best and answers emails within minutes of my sending her one! It is a relief to have Donna working with you.

It was so great to work with Donna in the months before our wedding. Donna really got our vision for the wedding and all the stationary that she did for us really matched to our personalites. All of our friends and family were impressed by the attention to the details in our invitation, programs, menu....Knowing that we are both chefs and our admiration for Julia Childs, Donna added to our menu one of Julia's quotes about marriage. It was just so perfect!
I highly recommend Donna and The Perfect Details' services.

The quality of Donna's work and the power and brilliance of her ideas is only surpassed by her professionalism and incredible attention to detail! Donna not only imparted tremendous event planning wisdom and direction to us but she also made invitations, ceremony programs, dinner menus and thank you cards that were a sensation to everyone! Never before have I seen or heard such an amazing response to all of the above-mentioned items! Guests, friends and family members all gushed about how perfect they were/are. My father left me a touching voicemail about how perfect our thank you cards were. Guests at our wedding are top professionals in the food and beverage industry and they were so floored that they brought the items Donna made in to their sales teams and event planners because they were so impressed. I hope she gets a bunch of great referrals from the amazing work she did for us and our amazing wedding and we wish her nothing but great success in every aspect of her life! Big fans!!

I had the most wonderful experience with Donna Kim of The Perfect Details. Donna's natural ability to calm any situation with professionalism and grace is uncanny. Donna has a true gift for taking all of my crazy ideas that are floating through my head, making them into a cohesive vision, and then beautifully executing it. I worked with Donna on many pieces of my wedding including: save the dates, invitations, menu cards, escort and place cards, thank you notes for my bridal shower, signs for the bathrooms and gifts/cards, ceremony programs, I hope I am not forgetting anything! The finished products were absolutely stunning and the process to get to the finished products was beyond enjoyable. I can honestly say that each piece was 100% custom. Donna worked tirelessly to find the perfect fonts, make crazy die-cut shapes work for different pieces, hand tie each bow on the ceremony programs, and offer her assistance with proper wording and layout. Donna's eye for detail is un-matched. From the save-the-dates and invitations being sent to guests sitting down to dinner and seeing the menu cards she ensured that each piece went together and flowed without being matchy-matchy, it was the perfect collection!! I would without a doubt hire Donna again and again for future special events and will be recommending her to all of my family and friends. She is worth every single penny!!

Donna was recommended by a friend that used her for her wedding. I needed items for the day of the wedding like place cards, menus, candy labels, flip flop basket, etc. since the moment I met Donna, she was very attentive and understood exactly the image I was looking for. The process was extremely easy in picking all the details and working with Donna. Every detail she came up with was perfect in ,attaching the rest of the wedding theme. I had a lot of complements on how everything just flowed together. I would highly recommend Donna for any event you need because you will not be disappointed. She is easy to get along with and very prompt. I will definitely be going back to Donna for any future events I may need her assistance with.

The wedding invitations Donna designed for my daughter Jennifer's wedding were exquisite! I heard from many guests that they were a "keeper" because they were the prettiest invites ever. Donna listened to everything Jennifer said she loved and created a beautiful invite that was perfect for her. Donna also designed our wedding programs, place cards, table numbers and many signs for the special day. Even the owner of the venue inquired about details because they were so amazing. Donna is a pleasure to work with. My daughter Jennifer was married on 11.17.12 and two days later my daughter Courtney became engaged. I can't wait to see what perfect details Donna designs for Courtney. I can't say enough great things about Donna Kim and "The Perfect Details".
