Absolutely Amazing!

Nicole Ellington was the planner for our wedding and she absolutely knocked it out of the park! She was amazing throughout the entire process. Very communicative, detailed, and responsive with us. I know our big day would not have been the complete perfection it was without all of Nicole's hard work!

Superior service

Wow!

Maddison began with a smile and a “can do” spirit. She created an environment of order and trust. We had our magical wedding with no issues because of her.

WONDERFUL Wedding Planner/Day of Coordinator

Maddison was absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Maddison during both the planning phase of our wedding and the day of. My husband and I faced challenging circumstances while planning our wedding. One being that we had to plan our wedding at The Venue in Asheville, NC, from Edinburgh, Scotland. Additionally, we only had 5 and a half months to plan our wedding, which for most people is considered really pushing it in terms of the average wedding timeline. Thankfully, we had Maddison on our side!! She found and booked the absolute BEST vendors for us, as well as made sure our vision was communicated to these vendors. She was always in constant contact with us despite her very busy schedule. Day of, Maddison made sure my husband and I experienced zero stress or worry. Her calming presence put both my husband and I at ease, and if she was at all stressed, she did not show it in front of the bride or groom (which is a fantastic quality in a wedding coordinator)!! She got us from point A to point B on time, made sure we were able to eat our food, and was always there to top off of our drink of choice. Because of Maddison, there was not a single hiccup in the day. My husband and I are extremely grateful that we did not have to do any thinking day of so that we could just be present and enjoy each moment. On a final note, the reception space was GORGEOUS! Many of our guests have told us that it was one the most beautiful weddings they have attended and that is in large part due to Maddison’s ability to communicate and help bring our vision to life. Thank you so much Maddison for the most perfect day and a wedding that exceeded all of our expectations :)
