Best Wedding Planner EVER!

Our destination wedding in Mexico turned out better than expected and we have all the most wonderful memories with our family and friends thanks to Roland's help and outstanding organization and attention to detail. Thank you for keeping us sane and at ease on one of the biggest and important days of our lives! You played an important role by taking care of all the details that allowed us to fully enjoy the day and not worry about a thing. I loved how you were my advisor throughout the wedding planning process and I appreciated having you to consult for guidance and feedback during a stressful time – it was definitely less stressful with your help and expertise!
If you are looking for an extremely diligent, organized, and professional wedding planner with a passion for her clients, then I would strongly encourage you to contact Rolanda.

Hire Ro for your wedding!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about hiring Ro as our wedding planner! From the very beginning, she truly listened to our vision and was incredibly supportive of us wanting to avoid being overly traditional. Ro worked with us to create a day that felt uniquely ours, and her expertise ensured every detail was executed flawlessly.

One of the things we appreciated most was how she managed to keep us within our budget without compromising on the quality or beauty of the day. Thanks to her careful planning and attention to detail, we were able to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day, knowing everything would be taken care of.

We received so many compliments from our guests, telling us how much the wedding felt like a reflection of who we are as a couple. Multiple people even said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to! It was the best day, and we owe so much of that to Ro! Highly recommend!

Perfect planner

What words can I say about Rolanda and Vision Into Reality Events??? Perfection, Intentional, Organized, Creative, Communicative, Warm, Realistic yet Gentle, and THE BEST IN THS GAME! Planning our wedding was a joy with her and every detail was executed to perfection, her recommendation of vendors a true fit, and day of coordinating was so seamlessly executed. Especially as a black gay couple, my husband and I truly felt seen, heard, respected, catered to and CELEBRATED! We can’t wait to work with her again, and highly recommend her services!

She truly cares about her couples!

My husband, Nathan, and I loved the attention, communication, professionalism, and over all care that we received working both Ro Hardy at Vision To Reality Events. Our planning process was a joy. She was very focused on supporting our vision and at the same time encamping it with her expertise. Her vendors were exceptional and very professional throughout the process. The wedding day was a dream, because she was so extremely organized and meticulous. As a Black, queer couple we felt seen and respected at every turn. I would recommend her to everyone I know. She’s that amazing!

Our dream wedding planned by Rolanda Hardy!

Rolanda is an incredibly detail oriented, hardworking, communicative and attentive wedding planner. She will work closely with you to fulfill every element of your wedding vision within your budget! Being very detail oriented myself, it was so reassuring to have Rolanda at every step of the planning process. She's tremendously resourceful and helped me out with our multi-day multicultural wedding. I really appreciated how hands-on Rolanda was on our main day, our day flowed seamlessly and we didn't have to worry about a single thing. We are deeply grateful to put our trust in Rolanda in helping plan our happy day! :)

Best experience I could’ve hoped for

Like a lot of couples, my husband and I felt like fish out of water scrambling to find a planner with reasonable rates to help us. Once we decided we would be open to having a destination wedding, I remembered the amazing work Ro did planning for the wedding I was in the year prior and we reached out.

I’m beyond grateful that we went this route because from day one, Ro was so easy to hit it off with! She also was incredibly patient walking us through what to expect and reassuring us how we could take on planning together to make our dream a reality. Her communication was on point every step of the way and she always was a step ahead, making sure to ask all the right questions with our vendors. I believe the way she showed up for us set the standard for how every vendor we needed came through for us as well. We wound up having an amazing wedding in Puerto Rico and there’s just not enough words to capture how much we appreciate her services for making that happen!

Best Wedding Planner!

I first met Ro when I was at a wedding for one of my wife's best friends. Seeing her in action was enough for my wife and I to quickly reach out to her when it was our turn. Ro is an incredible professional who is on her p’s and q’s! Very easygoing and fun to work with also! Our vendors for our wedding were equally impressed by her professionalism. Her services are well worth every penny if you want to make wedding planning as stress-free as possible.

Your Go To planner for destination weddings!!

From day one, Ro made us feel like she was a friend that wanted us to have the most amazing wedding possible rather than a coordinator. My husband and I had no idea where to start with a destination wedding and Rolanda was there every step of the way! She was very organized, responsive, and has great insight when it comes to planning and vendors. On our wedding day, we had the luxury of sitting back and enjoying our day knowing that all of the little details were handled because of her. Could not recommend her highly enough!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
