    HIGHLY recommend The Planning Bee!

    How do I even begin to express my LOVE for The Planning Bee!? Not only did this woman-owned business go ABOVE AND BEYOND helping us sort through our “non-traditional” wedding planning but, they NAILED it on our special day. My new husband and I have officially nicknamed them as wedding ninjas! We would think of something, and Karima and Leah were 10 steps ahead! We could not have had as smooth of a wedding if it wasn’t for Karima and Leah!
    RUN and go book with them ASAP. You will not be disappointed!
    Oh, and… The Planning Bee even has a brand-new, STUNNING event space, The Genesis!
    THANK YOU THE PLANNING BEE!!!!!

    BEST decision we made for our wedding!

    Hiring The Planning Bee was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Leah and Nicole were rock stars on the day of - they kept everything on schedule and running smoothly so we could just enjoy the day. The groom ripped his pants minutes before our first look and they handled it like total pros! We also had support for several months leading up to the wedding which was amazing. The monthly meetings made the planning process so much easier, Leah gave great advice and was there to help with anything we needed. I cannot recommend them enough, you NEED to hire them!

    Phenomenal team, should be your first vendor hire!

    We had the good fortune to work with Karima and Nicole at The Planning Bee for our January wedding and they could not have been better. Both were so professional, competent, responsive, kind, and caring. It was apparent from our first 'interview' call that these folks very much know what they're doing and how to help you. There's a long list of services over the course of your planning that this group is great for, the stick out for us was how easy they made the actual wedding day. From coordinating vendors to resolving issues to keeping a drink in our hands during the reception, Karima and her team were just fantastic. If you have an opportunity to have this group involved in your wedding, jump on it - they'll improve your experience more than you would ever guess.
