I cannot express enough how incredibly grateful we are for Suzanne and her exceptional team at Couture Events. During wedding planning, I was writing my dissertation and my husband was finishing up law school and studying for the bar. Suzanne was nothing short of a miracle worker in planning our 500-person Syrian American wedding, ensuring that every detail was perfect (while reminding us of our budget). She really was instrumental in executing the wedding of our dreams. Suzanne's dedication and expertise were particularly invaluable during an exceptionally busy period for us, so her ability to manage and orchestrate everything flawlessly was truly impressive. She was extremely flexible with us, and understood our constraints so well. She also was remarkably able to balance everyone's expectations, and she managed family members' input with incredible grace and professionalism. One of Suzanne's standout qualities is her promptness and organizational skills. She was always on top of every detail and ensured that nothing was overlooked. Her ability to source various options for us, but still listen to our desires, and guide us towards choices that aligned with our vision and capabilities was astounding. She really made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. Moreover, Suzanne was an absolute joy to work with. Her positive energy and fun personality made the entire experience delightful. Her calm demeanor and creative problem-solving made us feel reassured, even in the most challenging moments. We cannot recommend Suzanne and her team at Couture Events highly enough. She is truly a gem, and any couple would be lucky to have her by their side during such an important time in their lives. Thank you, Suzanne, for giving us a wedding beyond our wildest dreams!

I had an incredible experience with Eventive Occasions! The owner, Yhana, helped bring my vision to life…from the planning, to the rentals, to the florals- I used her for everything and am so glad I did! Her prices were extremely reasonable compared to other vendors I looked into, and the quality did not disappoint. I was blown away by how beautiful my bouquet was! Yhana was very friendly and easy to talk to. It felt like I was planning my wedding with a friend, instead of a stranger. As an out of town bride, she went out of her way to meet with me early into the planning process when I happened to be in town, and was eager to schedule as many phone calls as I needed over the year. She was committed the entire day of the wedding to making sure it was going to perfection! I highly recommend Eventive Occasions for wedding planning, rentals, and florals.

Nikeva was so amazing! My wife and I brought her on about a month before our wedding, and she was such a blessing. She took so much pressure off of us, and was able to handle a ton of the busy work in order to free us up. She asked the right questions, and gave excellent suggestions based on all of her years of experience, that were a huge help. She's also so friendly and funny, and easy to get along with. I HIGHLY recommend using her for your wedding, or any other event that needs planning.

I cannot recommend Everthine Events highly enough. Sofia is professional, friendly, and incredibly well organized. She stays on top of every detail to ensure everything comes together perfectly. Her dedication and passion for making each event special truly stands out. Sofia genuinely cares about her clients and will go above and beyond to make sure their day is everything they dreamed of.

My wife and I got married in June of this year and worked with Paige and Lisa to plan our wedding. We were only engaged for about 6 months and had a pretty big wedding and working with Paige and Lisa made the process go wonderfully - we couldn’t have imagined planning our wedding without them. We’re so grateful for their help and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. Our wedding day was amazing and we’ll always be thankful for the role Paige and Lisa played!

As a vendor who has worked with Amanda and the team at HEI Events, I can say they provide clear, straightforward and timely communication throughout the planning process. They demonstrate strong work ethics, are highly organized, and excel at time management. Amanda is a sweetheart to work with - she goes above and beyond for the wedding couples and is one of the most organized planners I've had the pleasure of collaborating with. HEI Events' attention to detail and commitment to making the special day a success was truly impressive.

Michelle with Bustle and Lace was incredible on every single front of the wedding planning process up to the wedding itself. We had five to six meetings with her, which were well planned, covered a lot of areas, and were extremely helpful. We loved how collaborative and honest she was if we came to her for an idea. Outside of our meetings, Michelle was always very responsive via email and provided endless feedback and guidance. There were many parts of our wedding that we previously envisioned, while other parts she helped us develop - she was truly the person that brought our dream wedding to life. There were unique requests we had for our wedding day, which some involved Michelle doing extra tasks, and she ensured they all happened. When looking back at our wedding and everything leading up to it, we strongly believe that our wedding day would not have been what it was without her. Michelle has a calm presences that is contagious. She always reassured us that we were doing great in the planning process and that everything would come together as we hoped - which it did. On our wedding day, Michelle was an absolute gem and we had no worries. We had such confidence in her to make sure everything was taken care of. If we had any questions or concerns, she was right there making sure everything was addressed. Many of our family and friends also acknowledged Michelle’s friendliness, professionalism, and care during one of the most important days of our lives. We could honestly go on and on about how amazing Michelle is at what she does - we highly recommend her to be your wedding planner next. - The Bullocks

My first wedding vendor review has to be about Johnna Metcalf. Where do I even begin? Johnna is one of the most brilliant, kind, organized, warm, friendly and calm people I have ever met. She’s one of those people where you immediately feel at ease when you’re around her. Hiring her was by far our greatest wedding investment and I would hire her over and over again if I could. She made our day absolutely flawless - if ANYTHING was sliiightly off or wrong, she caught it immediately, calmly, and handled it with poise - always reassuring us she’s got it covered. I felt 100% at ease, all day, because of her. The DETAILS of what she does for you is unmatched. She cared about our family and we all felt it. We are obviously still on cloud 9 from the wedding, and haven’t stopped talking about it - but our most frequent compliment by far (from our bridal party and family) is how wonderful Johnna was. Thank you Johnna for the greatest weekend of our lives ❤️

We cannot say enough good things about LOLA!! We booked the “Last Minute LOLA” package and we worked with Sanja Dimitrijevic through the last few months of our wedding planning. She exceeded all of our expectations and really helped to make our wedding day the most perfect day. The whole planning process with her was so fun and we felt really prepared in the week leading up our wedding. No ask was too much and she met with us countless times to make sure all of the details were accounted for. On the day of the wedding, she was on top of everything and did so much behind the scenes work. She took all of the stress out of the day which was exactly what we were hoping for! Booking with LOLA was one our best investments during our wedding planning process and we can’t recommend Sanja enough!!

If you are looking for the right wedding planner, your search should end with this review. We cannot say enough good things about Camille and her team, but we will do our best here. We were in a unique situation of putting together our wedding in roughly three months due to family health reasons, and Camille played an enormous role in making our wedding a success. Camille was on top of every detail and was involved every step of the way. She was always there to give us advice when we had questions or weren't sure what to do. She provided a thorough timeline and kept all the trains moving on time. She also connected with our vendors to coordinate deliveries and timing. Everything you could want in a planner, Camille and her team provided. She made a stressful few months feel much more manageable and it all went off without a hitch. Thank you Camille!
