The best day of my life
Q is a total pro—organized, detail-oriented, quick to respond, and calm under pressure. But what really made her stand out was her warmth, humor, and her ability to make us feel like we were her only clients. She’s the kind of person you immediately trust, and she has this magical way of making even the most stressful parts of wedding planning feel totally manageable. Every meeting, email, and walkthrough with her left us feeling more excited and more confident.
We had originally planned to have our ceremony on the Great Lawn, which we were really looking forward to. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, and we had to make the tough decision to move everything indoors at the last minute. Understandably, we were upset—but Q handled it with such professionalism and grace. She reassured us right away and turned what felt like a setback into something so beautiful and memorable. The indoor ceremony space was absolutely stunning, and guests still talk about how romantic and intimate it felt. Looking back, we wouldn’t change a thing.
Q’s attention to detail is second to none. She kept everything on track—from the big picture down to the smallest touches—and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day. She had our timeline down perfectly, coordinated with every vendor seamlessly, and anticipated every need before we even had to ask.
Jamie was also an amazing part of our experience. She worked alongside Q and helped keep everything running smoothly on the big day. Their teamwork was flawless and made everything feel so effortless.
Turning Stone will always hold a very special place in our hearts—not just because it's where we got married, but because of the incredible people who brought it all to life. Q and Jamie are true professionals with huge hearts, and we are beyond grateful for everything they did for us. If you're thinking about getting married at Turning Stone, don’t hesitate. And if you get to work with Q, just know you are in the *very* best hands.
Thank you, Q and team—our day was everything we dreamed of and more.
