Such a wonderful, stress-free, relaxing wedding day!

Vernetta is the best!! We got married in May at the Hoff Center, and it was such a wonderful day. She and her team ensured everything ran smoothly, looked gorgeous, coordinated with vendors, and really took such a load off of my/my family's shoulders. I very very highly recommend TWPO's wedding planning services to any engaged couple. You won't regret it - I'm a planner-type by nature but it was such a blessing to be able to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about the details. Thanks so much, Vernetta!

Event though we got married a few months ago, were still impressed by the level of service we received from Vernetta. I was faced with medical issues and my husband is in graduate school. Our time was tight and we had to overcoem alot. Vernetta gave us undivided attention, she would answer my late night text and she quickly became a friend. I honestly don't know how she does it but we're so thankful. Our wedding day was beautiful and stress free. Thank you Vernetta!

Vernetta did an amazing job at our wedding. We are so pleased to write a review. I could'nt imagin our day without her. There were times when I was stressed and I would just give her a call and she would bring such a calm. On the day of the wedding there were some emergencies and she handles it smoothly. Great choice in hiring them!

The Wedding Planner Omaha really helped us out. We were overwhelmed and concerned about day off coordination and hired them. We were able to take in the day and relax. It felt good knowing Vernetta would handle the details.

Vernetta is absolutely amazing- I cannot rave about her enough. Throughout the year leading up to my wedding, she was available via call, text, or email when I needed her, she often answered emails within 10 minutes or less. I am a surgical resident and I had very minimal time to contact vendors and arrange details. She completely adhered to the vision I presented to her of what I wanted in my wedding day. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she was so on top of every detail, things I hadn't even considered that really made the day move forward flawlessly. On the wedding day, that woman worked her butt off. We had a hangup with the service elevator not working at the venue and so the reception hall set-up ran behind by 2 hours. She didn't let it disrupt anything. She ran around and got everything taken care of and the only person who even knew what had happened was me. She runs the reception so flawlessly, it was easily the most beautiful day of my life and because of Vernetta I was able to relax and enjoy myself. She is easily worth 3-4 times what she charges for her services. I would recommend her to any person because she will make your wedding day the most incredible experience of your life and charge you a fraction of what the other services in town were asking.
