I couldn't have done it without Wedding Expectations!

I cannot say enough good things about Rebecca, Meghann, and this company. My wedding far exceeded my hopes and dreams, and I owe all the credit of that achievement to Wedding Expectations. We communicated often and in great detail. Any and all questions I had were answered and any problems were sorted out quickly. The planning leading up to the wedding was an unbelievable amount of work, but these ladies handled it with grace and professionalism. Wedding Expectations handled nearly every aspect of my wedding, from tablecloths and napkin folds to flower arrangements and seating charts. Every single detail was coordinated. They spoke regularly with outside vendors and the venue, often juggling several lines of communication simultaneously. The day-of coordination was out of this world. I have no doubt Meghann would have brought me the moon if I had asked for it. My wedding went off without a hitch. It was the best day of my life, and I owe it all to Wedding Expectations. From the depths of my soul, thank you Rebecca and Meghann!! If you have no idea where to start with planning your wedding, and you're feeling a bit overwhelmed, you've found the right people to help guide you towards your happily ever after.

Stress Free Planning!

While some couples decide to go without a wedding planner opting to have one makes things so so much easier. Our original videographer bailed on us last minute and luckily we were able to find an amazing videographer quickly with Rebecca’s help (Wedding Expectations). Not only are they reasonably priced, they are full service. For the most part, we did opted to pick out our own vendors but they had a great list to choose from. We talked over zoom a handful of times and Rebecca was able to keep things organized and even helped us plan stuff we hadn’t really thought through. Ultimately they made the wedding a breeze. People are usually stressed in the weeks coming up to the wedding but everything was sorted out and we didn’t have to worry about things the day of. They have many packages that fit all types of budgets and they have a lot of equipment/decor you can rent. We highly recommend Wedding Expectations!!

Just what I needed

Samantha was who helped me for my wedding. She is so kind and helpful! She always answered my questions and worked hard to find answers for me. I don’t think my day would’ve been nearly as amazing if it wasn’t for her help! She stayed on top of me to make sure I was getting done what needed to be done. Thank you for everything Samantha ❤️

Awesome Team!

What a savior Wedding Expectations turned out to be. We worked with Stacey and we were so impressed within minutes of meeting her. She was the true timeline enforcer we needed and she made sure all of our vendors were in line/ready to go. We attempted to plan/coordinate our wedding day for as long as we could but needed so much help. Wedding Expectations took the weight off of our shoulders and we were able to enjoy our celebration. Only regret is not calling sooner!

Wonderful Experience!

Miranda, Rebecca, and the team at Wedding Expecations were absolutely critical in making the wedding of our dreams come true! We were navigating a wedding weekend with so many details, and we simply could not have done it without Miranda. There were issues that came up (as there always are), and she handled them with calmness, great communication, and quick thinking. We highly recommend this group of wonderfully competent women!

Dream team delivers our dream wedding!

We contracted both day-of (really month-of) coordination services as well as flowers from Wedding Expectations. Miranda and her team made the whole day go so smoothly, starting with final coordination with our vendors prior to the event and meeting me at the venue the month before to go over all of the details! Everything went off without a hitch. Rebecca was awesome with the flowers and greenery and was able to deliver my dream design in my budget! You should have no reservations using Wedding Expectations for your event - they are a dream team!

Best night our our life thanks Rebecca and her assistant!

Rebecca is capable, accommodating, patient, and pays incredible attention to detail. We had the best night of our live on our wedding and we were so grateful to have Rebecca on our team. Rebecca did our floral arrangements in addition to day of coordination and they were perfect. She listened to exactly what we discussed and pulled together beautiful bouquet, backdrop, and centerpieces. She is calm and responsive just when you need her to be. She is polished and professional and I cannot thank her enough for listening to and executing every detail.

Great Planner and Amazing Florals!

I was hesitant to use their florals because the quote was so cheaper than all the other places I found, but I’m so glad I used Wedding Expectations. The florals were BEAUTIFUL and exactly what I wanted!!
Also I had Miranda as my full wedding planner to help with all planning. She provided great vendor recommendations, but really was the most helpful on the wedding day. She took care of us, made sure we got food, packed our getaway car with wedding cake and goodies, and just made the night so much less stressful. Definitely recommend wedding expectations! They surpassed my expectations.

Beyond Grateful for Wedding Expectations

It's hard to find the words to explain how amazing Wedding Expectations was to work with, and how important Miranda was for having a truly perfect wedding night. We chose the Day Of package and I'm so glad we did. The moment I met Miranda I felt the stress of wedding planning melt away. We also rented several decor and signs from them, and everything was high quality and looked amazing. Thank you to Miranda and Wedding Expectations for helping us have the most amazing wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Wedding Expectations. She and her team did an amazing job from start to finish. If I had a question, Rebecca had an answer. She checked on us through out the event to make sure we were on the same page. For your wedding, you won't go wrong with Wedding Expectations.

We have all heard about the stress that comes from weddings. The easiest way to help that stress go down is to have confidence that everything will be taken care of. Regardless of if you live out or town, or if you just need that additional help, Wedding expectations will help your dreams come true, while helping you be much more relaxed.

I am a wedding DJ and have worked with Wedding Expectations on several occasions. It is easy to say that they exceed expectations. Their genuine care in you and your wedding can be felt, and they help your wedding unfold perfectly. Weddings can be very stressful with all of the planning and opinions of people involved. If you want to have that lifted from your shoulders, give Wedding Expectations a chance to show how they can help you.
