Day of Wedding Planning

Ruth was extremely helpful with the day of planning of my wedding. She made sure the timeline was on schedule and that all the important vendors were connected and knew the timeline. She greatly reduced my stress that weekend. SO happy we had her!

Booked for wedding

We hired Ruth for our wedding next September and she’s been incredibly helpful! I am a high stress person and with one phone call, I already started to feel better. I know Ruth will be an essential part in helping our wedding day run smoothly!

The last month before my daughter's wedding I became overwhelmed with all the last minute details. Ruth jumped in and I felt immediate relief. I was able to enjoy the process again. Since she is so experienced she brought up points that my daughter and would never thought of. She kept excellent flow of information between vendors and best of all she helped with the daunting task of the wedding day schedule. By the time the wedding got there she felt like a friend. She knew the hopes of my daughter and her fiance and was able to make their day just what they invisioned. I can't tell you how happy I am that I hired Ruth. It allowed me not to stress the day of and really enjoy being the mother of the bride!

A wedding planner is a must for any wedding. I highly recommend Ruth for the job. Her service was priceless. Ruth keeped us on track throughout the process letting us know about upcoming deadlines. She found the best cost options for vendors for us and even jumped into quick action to assist with a last minute crisis. Ruth is also a wonderful person! She is sweet, polite, a great listener and always put our needs and wants first. Everyone in our wedding party and vendor list came up to us to say how wonderful she was to them. The best man thanked her in his speech because he said the groom told him "Ruth was so helpful they couldn't have done it without her!" I agree!

Ruth was so helpful during the wedding planning process. She would always get back to my husband and I very quickly with any questions we had. We planned our wedding from another state and we couldn't have done it without her.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
