Weddings with Willow

Working with Willow was a true pleasure! I had the "coordination" package, which was focused mainly on coordinating everything the week of the wedding but Willow also provided guidance and recommendations starting well before the wedding. She was very thorough in going through all of my vendor contracts ahead of time and even found a discrepancy in one that would have affected things on the day of the wedding if we hadn't clarified it before then.

Willow was always accommodating and responded to emails immediately, which made me feel like she was totally on top of things and almost as excited as I was about my wedding. She even met with me when she was feeling very under the weather, so that I wouldn't have to take extra time off work to meet again (what a trooper!). After meeting with her and going over last-minute details, I was entirely comfortable trusting her recommendations and felt confident in her judgment when dealing with any snags the day of the wedding.

On the day of the wedding, Willow and her assistant, Julia, were there the whole day managing things behind the scenes and reminding me (and the whole wedding party and DJ) of when it was time to line up, do our special dances, take pictures, give toasts, cut the cake, toss the bouquet, and everything else, but she was never intrusive or demanding. Having her and Julia there was a really positive experience and truly allowed me to enjoy the night without any cares in the world!

Her email communication was incredibly thorough and exhausting (in a good way!), but in person she was very chill and easygoing so that I didn't have any stress rubbing off on me. This was the perfect mix for a stressed out bride! She was wonderful, accommodating, and had a great attitude and demeanor that really inspired confidence and allowed me to be stress-free on my wedding day, knowing everything was taken care of! Thanks Willow for giving us a fantastic wedding :)

Willow & Julia were a pleasure to work with! They were very organized, thorough and concise in their planning, and it is clear that they are quite knowledgeable in their field. All communication with Weddings with Willow were extremely professional. They also had excellent on site skills in coordinating set-up, overseeing the event to make sure everything flowed smoothly and on time, and facilitating and assisting in breakdown and clean-up. Thank you, Willow & Julia!

When we first started to consider how we wanted our wedding to look, feel and cost, a wedding planner was not at all an option for us. As we went along, my fiancée realized that there was no humanly way possible we could get it all done, even with the help of our willing family members. He insisted we find a coordinator and I insisted that there was no way we could afford one. He found GigSalad and proved to me there was a way! Weddings with Willow was one of the first contacts we made and there was something in the initial way Willow contacted me that felt truly genuine. Her rate was reasonable and most importantly, within our budget!

Throughout the process Willow's professionalism, enthusiasm and reassurance lead the way to feeling more at ease with my wedding plans. The vision of my wedding was in no way elaborate but there still needed to be a way for someone to guide me with organization and prepare our reception just the way we wanted. In the end we had about 71 attendees in our cocktail style reception. Willow provided me with tools to help me organize my planning; she routinely communicated with me which kept me at ease from day 1 to our wedding day! Her attention to detail was really what kept me afloat. Wedding details can be quite daunting when you work full time and have other full time obligations.

Our wedding day was beautiful thanks to Weddings with Willow! Executive decisions were made, details were carried out and Willow kept us on top of our game. Minor snags were handled with ease (wedding cake almost did not make it and I (bride) forgot the cards that were supposed help the MC make our announcements). We truly would not have had a successful, stress free wedding day without Weddings with Willow!
