Simply Amazing!

As the MOB I would definitely encourage you to hire Vivian. From the beginning she jumped through hoops to ensure our girls wedding was perfect. She is timely, efficient, personable & extremely thorough. Vivian thought of every single detail which made the wedding day enjoyable for me. When I tell you to hire her, I mean it. She's the Best!

Above and Beyond!

Vivian went above and beyond to make everything about our wedding planning went so smoothly! We live out of town and were planning the wedding on such a tight timeline, but she put us at ease and coordinated with many wonderful local vendors. Any big, small, unusual ideas we had were received with attentiveness and care. She is very responsive and we never had to worry about following up because she did not let anything fall through the cracks. She is kind and generous with her time and energy and we cannot thank her enough for all of her help and care. Her assistants Frankie and Rachel were also so kind and wonderful as day-of coordinators!

Excellent wedding planner

Vivian was amazing! She is so friendly, professional and knowledgeable. She took away much of our (&our parents') stress in the wedding planning process. Vivian went above and beyond for me. She was always there to answer our questions or concerns and make sure everything worked out every step of the way. I don't know how it would have been without her!! Highly recommend her. (And her assistant was great too)

Fervent & Celebratory!

Vivian exceeded expectations with her wedding planning and especially on the day of the wedding. She knows exactly who to reach out to for any big or small thing and if they can’t do it, she takes the initiative by completing the task on her own!
She brings so much energy in person, and makes you feel excited about everything. She made sure my family and I felt comfortable about everything that was going on and being planned throughout the entire process.
Something especially important, Vivian always answered my call or called me back immediately no matter my question. She effectively talks through it and gives suggestions to ensure you’re comfortable.
Vivian makes sure your special day is perfect and she gives it her ALL and that is more than I could ask from anyone.
Thank you, Vivian.

Nothing short of amazing

I absolutely could NOT recommend vivian enough! She is WONDERFUL. And i truly mean that with every ounce in my being! Vivian not only treats her clients with respect and dignity, but also treats them as family. I never once felt like just a paycheck and some vendors believe me, can make a bride feel that way during the planning process! Vivian was always quick to respond, no matter the time of day. She is super flexible with any needs or requests you had. I chose to hire her for the month of package which i absolutely recommend but also recommend hiring her for the full planning timeline. If i knew any better i would have from the get go! Even if she was hired for the month of she definitely stepped in and helped way before. She sent several tips and timelines to go by that were so helpful. Most of all she kept me calm and confident on the day of the wedding especially. There was a time right before the wedding where i was stressed 24/7. She offered to call me or meet up for coffee just to chat things through. Things i forgot or didn't bring she had and it took the biggest weight off of my shoulders. Any problem i had she fixed. She took time out of her day to come help me decorate the venue early in the day snd added such a special touch to everything. I could truly truly go on and on about how wonderful Vivian and her assistants are but that would be as long as a book. I truly am so thankful for vivian more than she will ever know. I highly recommend her for any event planning you have. You will REGRET IT if you don't! The thing that breaks my heart the most is that i will never get to have her as my wedding planner again LOL now that the wedding is past. I want to hire her for every event i ever have. Maybe i will throw a huge party for my dogs LOL just to be able to hire her for my planner. Lol! But seriously Vivian is amazing point blank period!!!

flawless execution- best planner in the State, hands down

Vivian went above and beyond everything I could have hoped or imagined for my special day. She was extremely responsive to all of my silly little questions and held my hand every step of the way. She was so kind, organized, and knowledgeable about the industry. Her preparation and planning made me feel at peace for the day to come. The day of Vivian and her assistances executed perfectly, not a SINGLE fluke or issue happened. An absolute dream for a bride. We had a wedding party of 24 people and Vivian didn’t blink an eye. She can handle every personality type and situation. Vivian was on top of any and every detail day of and coordinated flawlessly. I would recommend her to anyone that asked and could not have asked for a better planner.
