The Best!!!

My husband and I got married in March 2024, and Brenda and Hotai were fantastic! They helped us plan our wedding in just 4 months, handling everything from creating decorations to organizing staff. They led the way in decorating the church for the ceremony and added final touches at the reception location, with the use of Brenda's artistic abilities. As planner and day of coordinator, Hotai managed the itinerary, reception playlists and food, and made sure every detail was covered. On the day of, Brenda went above and beyond, checking in with the wedding party during the getting ready phase. They also assisted with cleanup at both locations. Their support made our wedding day smooth and unforgettable!

Beautiful Experience

I’m a wedding photographer who meets many wedding planners and designers. What makes Brenda & Hotai different is how much passion they put into the decor. I shot 2 weddings with them so far and I love how, even tho both brides asked for a rustic vintage look, Brenda & Hotai provided it, but also made them look totally different from each other. Brenda customizes furniture to give off that real rustic look and not something that was purchased at target or TJ Maxx. Every piece she uses for each wedding is customized specifically for that wedding and that puts her above the rest.

Our dream wedding came true!

Very happy how my wedding turned out! I feel like I maybe one of the few brides to say that my wedding day was absolutely magical, and I would do it all over again the exact same way! Ho-tai and Brenda were very professional and very creative in making my big day beautiful and run smoothly. I appreciated how patient they were with me as I was trying to figure out my exact vision. They had all the right connections like booking the perfect videographer, photographer, catering, ect. They work diligently on keeping within the budget I had set! They always figured out a way to make it work with my budget without me feeling like I was compromising the quality and beauty of my special day. I will forever look back at my wedding day with joy, it truly was a dream come true!
