Where do I start? E&ED is the reason I remained sane while planning our wedding. Planning a postponed COVID wedding isn’t something girls dream about. Wearing masks and gloves while trying on dresses isn’t ideal. But, E&ED took the reins and made it all happen while also supporting me mentally & emotionally. Wendy & Megan are not only extraordinary wedding planners, but they are extraordinary humans. These two women truly have the biggest hearts. They offered me their support & shoulder to cry on way more than they needed to. That support made me feel like I wasn’t alone during a time that was surprisingly lonely. Wendy & Megan were able to handle the old fashioned tendencies that came from the MOB with an immense amount of grace. I couldn’t be more grateful for that. They handled all of the COVID rescheduling, contract changes & extra charges for postponement. Only two vendors were not available for the new date, but E&ED already had other vendors ready for us to review. Also, during such an uncertain time for the wedding industry, E&ED did not add an extra charge for postponing our wedding. That was such a selfless thing for them to do for us and it did not go without great appreciation. I would recommend going with the planning package that provides the greatest amount of assistance from your planner. It is worth every single penny, but it’s actually a very reasonable price for everything that they do for their brides. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day. Not one thing. Everything was executed perfectly. If there were any bumps in the road, I didn’t have a clue because they took care of it all. We were all able to focus on making memories & having fun. Megan killed it on our wedding day/night. Absolutely killed it! This girl worked her butt off (while always seeming like a cool cucumber) and made our wedding dreams come true. She listened to all of our concerns & addressed everything immediately. Megan also gracefully tolerated my procrastination when it came to planning, making decisions, and responding to emails. I’m sure that was super annoying, but she never made me feel like she noticed. My parents can’t stop talking about how amazing of a job Megan did. They were over-the-moon with how the wedding planning came together. All of our guests loved “every little detail” that went into our wedding. It was such a happy day/night and it is 100% because of Megan at E&ED. She also had an amazing assistant with her that totally kicked butt too! I could go on and on about how amazing the ladies of E&ED are. I can’t thank them enough.

I have had the pleasure of using Athena and her staff at Coalesce Creations on 2 occasions. Athena was my wedding planner/coordinator and also helped to plan my baby shower. She is very knowledgeable about the wedding and event planning industry. My biggest challenge in planning my wedding was making my wedding vision come true on a budget. Athena was able to do just that. Athena was very organized, had great recommendations, and was very easy to communicate with. I never had any issues with her following through on her responsibilities. It was a huge relief having her throughout the planning process. She listened to what I wanted and never made me feel like my ideas were subpar. Instead she was able to open me up to ideas I had never considered that in the end, allowed me to have my dream wedding. I would whole heartedly recommend Athena and her staff at Coalesce Creations to plan any of life's milestone events!!! I can't say how much I appreciate her. -Shannon

If there was any major hiccup that happened during our wedding, I have no clue about it thanks to Monique! Technically, we only got Monique as our day-of coordinator, but with the amount of emails we exchanged it didn't feel like it. It felt like she went above and beyond, getting to know us and making herself available - both for logistics & just as a friendly ear to vent to about drama. I couldn't be more thankful that she's so amazing and lovely to work with that she's listed as a preferred vendor with the Aquarium of the Pacific (which is how we heard about her). She's super fun and easy to work with. Our venue was set up in a timely manner, and everything looked amazing! As an artist & a designer, I made my own centerpieces, but I left it to Monique & her team to put the finishing touches and set everything up. I was so happy with how they set up the centerpieces as aisle runners for the ceremony, and later as actual centerpieces during the reception. My now-husband and I will forever be grateful for how much she helped during the most chaotic moments. Namely, the rehearsal dinner, and gathering everything we had to take home after the wedding. We definitely didn't have the energy to keep track of everything, so it was so nice to be able to just put our trust in her and know she wouldn't let us down. The most amazing thing about Monique, and what makes her so effective is that she was calm and steady in the face of whatever comes up during the wedding (and before getting there). She is exactly what both me and my husband needed for our wedding coordinator.

Shamica was an absolute dream to work with! From the very first day my husband and I met her, we instantly connected. She listened to me as a bride and made every single ask that I had for my dream wedding a reality. I am so grateful for Shamica's dedication to me, my vision, my wedding, all the things, truly! It's such a bittersweet moment when the wedding day has finally come to an end and all you have left are the memories of an amazing journey, and Shamica truly made our entire process amazing. I look at images and videos of our wedding daily because I am in such awe, and so many of our friends have asked who planned our wedding, and told us just how breathtaking it was! Truly one of a kind! If only we could rewind time haha! If you happen to come across this review, know that it was not an accident and know that this is a sign to definitely book Shamica! In ten years when my husband and I renew our vows in Italy, without a doubt Shamica will be our planner! 🤍🤍🤍

Jazmin was a pleasure to work with. She understood my vision and executed it successfully. Important to me was responsiveness which she nailed. I was very pleased with the outcome and would utilize her services again.

I had an amazingly BEAUTIFUL wedding thanks to the help of Natasha and So Chic Events (SCE)! I was referred to SCE about 18 months out from my wedding on 9/6/19. I was speaking to several other florists and they all keep saying, “Follow up with me in 6 months. You’re so far out you don’t need to worry about any of that.” What they didn’t know was that their comments were causing me a lot of anxiety because I wanted to get things done efficiently so I could budget wisely. After speaking to NaTasha, yes, 18 months out, she was glad to help me and actually encouraged my prior planning. That alone reduced a lot of stress for this bride! I do not profess to be the most creative person or to be able to describe the vision that I have in my head, but SCE was able to pull out the vision I had for my wedding and produced it PERFECTLY! NaTasha’s professionalism, care, genuine delight to make sure I had everything for my decor that I needed was absolutely amazing and much appreciated. She was on time to set things up for me and made everything so elegant and beautiful. I am still receiving comments from guests of how beautiful everything was. I am so glad that I was introduced to SCE & NaTasha. Thank you for truly making my wedding day memorable and elegant, just as I was hoping it would be! ❤️ I give SCE & NaTasha 1 million stars and would highly recommend her for anyone’s wedding or event.

Jerra is just the best person ever! I cannot thank her enough for making my wedding planning experience so easy and seamless. Like many couples, we had to push our wedding out a year. With that came a lot of changes to our wedding vision. She listened and made sure my vision was executed perfectly. It was literally the best day ever and I owe her a lot for that. Thank you for everything Jerra!!! Florals- Haute Poppies, Photographer - www.heathershanephoto.com

To plan a wedding in less than 6 months time was insane. Our wedding was on May 14th, 2021 and Carolina made our beautiful day a dream come true. She made the time and effort to capture our vision, gave us her expertise and knowledge. She truly got to know us personally. She helped us assemble a great team of vendors. She is very professional and honest. Carolina also had great communication and flexibility. We never once hesitated to ask questions or call, text, or email at anytime. By our wedding date she had gained our trust completely and knew she had everything planned out perfectly. She truly loves what she does. We are forever grateful.

Let me tell y’all about Tori and her team! She helped me plan my beautiful wedding in literally 6 months! Had worked with me during my melt downs and really took care of everything. My husband and I are really sad that our wedding is over because she became more like family to us than anything! Need a wedding planner? LOOK NO FURTHER! Worth every single penny and I gain so much more than a planner, I gained a sister, a friend, a mentor!
