After working with Beth Miranda and the Whitney Werts Co. team, my advice to all brides is to get a wedding planner! We had the pleasure of working with Beth, and I truly could not have done it without her help! Beth was incredibly organized, helpful, and above all, so friendly. She made sure every detail was perfect leading up to the big day, and was on-site during my wedding to ensure everything stayed on schedule and was the first to help me if I needed anything at all, including removing grass stains from my dress before I walked down the aisle. I highly recommend working with Beth and Whitney Werts Co. for your next event!

Beth Miranda was so amazing on my wedding day, she was such a calm presence and made the whole day run smoothly while being so respectful of us and our family! She was prepared for any situation we were going to run into, including using a tide-to-go pen to clean goose poop out of my train that had gotten there during outdoor pictures, minutes before we were going to walk down the aisle. I can't say enough about how great and professional she was, I recommend her to every friend who has gotten married since!

Whitney was literally a godsend in the wedding planning process. She made things so streamlined and eased my planning anxiety throughout the entire process. We truly couldn’t have pulled off our destination wedding without her help and I’m so happy she was available to take us on as clients! We can’t recommend her enough!

Three or four months before our wedding date we were in a tough spot - we lost our original day of coordinator and needed to find a new one for one of the most popular wedding dates of the summer. A friend recommended Whitney and we were able to work with Malia on her team. We talked on the phone a few times and did a site visit together. Malia was a great resource as we were finalizing all the details and helped us put together our final timeline. On the actual wedding day, Malia and her assistant Sarah handled everything seamlessly. If there were any issues, I don’t know about them. It was really important to us to have a day of coordinator so that nobody in our family had to be responsible for things happening and working with Malia allowed everybody to just enjoy the day and celebrate with us. Thank you Malia, Sarah and Whitney! So glad we got to work with you.

Whitney was the perfect blend of easy-going, creative, and timely! She kept us on track to get everything done, designed a beautiful creative deck to work off of for inspiration after speaking with her a few times prior, and never once got overwhelmed or pushy. We loved working with her! AND we were a Portland destination client, so we did 99% of the work via phone and email with little opportunity to meet face-to-face with her or vendors. There were no misses!

We were so incredibly lucky to have Meghan and Lauren from Whitney Werts & Company help plan our wedding. From our first call with Meghan, we knew we were in incredible and trust worthy hands. She was organized, full of amazing ideas, and definitely took a whole lot of stress off our shoulders for that last month before our big day.
Fast forward to our wedding weekend, Meghan and Lauren were there with big smiles on their faces and minute by minute schedule of our day. I can say without any hesitation that our day would not have been what it was without them. They were in contact with our vendors, making sure they arrived on time and knew where they were to set up. They kept the entire day on schedule and enabled my husband and I to concentrate on the only things that should matter on your wedding day — each other. Not only that but they did it all with the most calm demeanor and positive attitude! We're so grateful for them and couldn't recommend them more!

If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, I cannot recommend Whitney Werts & Co. enough!

Whitney and her team provided month-of coordination for my August 2018 wedding in Portland. From the very start, Whitney and Stephani were so engaging and welcoming. They truly listened to what my husband and I wanted and did everything in their power to make it happen. Even prior to our month-of contract, the two did not hesitate to provide vendor recommendations and any advice they could.

When we were approaching a month out, Stephani, our lead/point of contact, was absolutely incredible about keeping us organized and on the right path! She sent over lists and outlines regarding the ceremony, reception, seating chart, vendors, etc. She also provided last minute recommendations and was there to answer any questions I had, day or night, even while being a mom to two young ones.

Leading up to the big day, Stephani checked in regularly, assisted with projects (big & small), and made sure all the necessary boxes were checked. She took over vendor relations and let us breathe and enjoy the moment. She lead our rehearsal, which wasn't easy given our rowdy and easily distracted wedding party, and kept the ball rolling!

Cue to our wedding day, I walked into our venue and it was more than I could have dreamed of! Stephani knew exactly what we wanted in every way and made sure that it happened. She improvised when necessary and was a rock, giving support to my husband and I when we needed it. Our biggest ask was to enjoy the moment and not be bothered with vendors, details or any work. We wanted the same for our friends and family and Whitney & her team allowed us to have the wedding we always dreamed of.

Even after the reception, there were a few signs we couldn't take with us and the venue didn't allow overnight items to stay. Without question, Stephani offered to take the signs in her car and even offered to return them to the vendor the next day. She TRULY went above and beyond and we can't thank her and the team enough!

TL;DR version: Hire Whitney if you want your event to be planned well, run great, and if you want to enjoy working with your planner!

Long version: Whitney was our planner for our wedding in July 2018. While neither my partner nor I is challenging in the 'bridezilla' sense, we *are* challenging in that we are incredibly busy and near-impossible to nail down to meetings, scheduling, and tasks for non-essential things such as wedding planning. Whitney was amazingly supportive, organized, well-informed, and responsive. Literally cannot think of how things could have been better! Highest recommendations. 8 stars out of 5, 3 thumbs, up, 11/10 points, etc.

I wanted to get married in Oregon (where I grew up) but my husband and I live in New York City and both work very demanding jobs, so we knew that we needed help! I cannot say enough positive things about Whitney and Stephani. They helped us plan our rehearsal dinner, wedding, hiking, and a rafting trip for almost 70 people over labor day weekend in Hood River. We looked at a few planners in the Portland area but immediately felt at ease with Whitney on the phone. She reassured us that they would work around our busy schedules and handle all the on-the-ground logistics that we wouldn’t be able to do from far away. I couldn’t spend much time on the phone because of my job but they were both extremely responsive to the many (so many!) emails I sent. Both Stepahni and Whitney were very available, professional, and on top of every detail. They were very open to everything we suggested and good at coming up with solutions to make our (sometimes complicated) requests happen. We felt that they were very intuitive in understanding what we wanted and always on the same page. The weekend far exceeded our expectations! In retrospect I don’t know how we could have pulled off such a great weekend without them. I definitely recommend the full package as it removed a huge amount of stress from the weekend and was absolutely worth the cost.

Whitney was our wedding planner for my daughters wedding in Santa Ynez, Ca! I can’t express enough what an important part she played from being to end! So professional from the start! We could of never done it with out her and staff!! Our wedding was absolutely done perfectly! Thank you Whitney for making our day so perfect!!!
