  Honestly look no further! BSE is the perfect partner for planning a wedding

  I’m not sure where to even start with our review of Vanna and her team at Blue Sparrow Events, however simply put, they are magnificent! The year leading up to our wedding was quite a chaotic year for us — new city, new jobs, new house, and then covid. It was evident that a wedding planner would be an absolute necessity for us. After interviewing a few planners, Vanna was the clear choice for us. Her experience was very evident and spoke for itself, however what really sold us on BSE was Vanna’s ability to connect with us right off the bat. She was genuinely interested in us as a couple during our first call, making it feel like she’d known us for years! Throughout the entire planning process the BSE team was so incredibly helpful and thorough as well. As a couple planning a wedding during Covid, we couldn’t have asked for a better partner. Vanna was instrumental in helping us through the difficult decision to postpone our wedding. However when our day did finally come, it was better than we could have ever imagined! Seeing our multi-cultural celebration come together after a year of planning and having the BSE team there the entire day to make sure everything ran smoothly was the best decision we made! We wish we could do it all over again and can’t imagine doing it with anyone other than Vanna and the team at BSE. We promise if you choose to work with BSE, you will not be disappointed!

  Blue Sparrow , Vanna and her team were exquisite

  Vanna was organized and responsive. Her referrals for vendors were quite simply the best . She made the day spectacular and her ability to navigate the entire wedding and reception without one glitch was remarkable. I highly recommend Blue Sparrow events , quite simply she took away all the stress of the day and organizing and impressed us until the ( sadly ) last moment of the evening ~

  Truly The Most Outstanding Wedding Planner in the WORLD!

  Vanna is truly the most incredible, meticulous, talented wedding planner you could ever ask for. From the very beginning, she made my husband and I feel so supported, giving us tons of resources to book vendors and a budget guide, and was always there to offer her opinion backed with experience and insight in the industry. Upon hearing I was working with Blue Sparrow Events, each and every vendor I spoke to said "oh my gosh, Vanna is INCREDIBLE, you are in GREAT hands" and how right they were! Vanna's organization, ideas, and impeccable attention to detail makes her stand out from other planners I had spoken to before landing on Blue Sparrow. She made our wedding feel like the most special, unique day, and it truly was the absolute best day of our lives! I never had to worry knowing Vanna and her team had thought of every detail and sent out to-the-minute timelines to all of our vendors long ahead of the event. She reviewed our contracts and found frivolous things we could cut out, and was quick to pivot and resolve issues if they came up. From the beginning, she listened to our vision and brought it to life, knowing how to articulate details and pieces of the day better than I could myself! My family was beyond impressed with how perfectly smooth the day was, and that is all thanks to the incredible team at Blue Sparrow. Vanna is truly an EXPERT in her field. I already am having FOMO watching her events for other couples, knowing how perfectly those days are going for them, and I could not recommend her enough to everyone I know getting engaged. Thank you so much for making our day the absolute best day of our lives, Vanna!!!

  The best of the best!

  If you are looking for a designer/planner that you can have 100% confidence will create and execute the most magical wedding day, then Vanna and Blue Sparrow Events is your team! With Vanna's eye for design and amazing vendor relationships, we planned the most romantic modern wedding outside under the trees. Fast forward to the weekend of our wedding and we have torrential downpours and flash flood warnings. In any other situation, I would have been a mess, but after working with Vanna and her team for the past year, I had absolute confidence that they were handling everything and they did! Tents were erected, rain plans enacted and then changed multiple times as the weather changed throughout the day. An hour before the ceremony the rain started to clear and plans changed again. The most amazing thing about Vanna and her team is that I didn't have to worry about a single thing and my guests had no idea that the plan that was executed wasn't the plan we had from the beginning. Everything was beautiful, the transitions were seamless and it was perfect!

  Best Decision Ever!

  I got married a week ago at The Allan House and I can honestly say that Tara with Blue Sparrow Events was the MVP of my entire vendor team. Tara went above and beyond to make this my dream wedding! I am a very detailed person...I think through everything and plan, plan, plan, and plan. Even with all that I am telling you that a wedding coordinator is a MUST- Tara gave me the most gorgeous, intimate, and flawless wedding!
  She also saved my wedding from disaster! My entire wedding was supposed to be outside but 72 hrs before my wedding a HUGE rain storm decided to linger over Austin. She basically rearranged the entire wedding for me with a plan A, B, and C for EVERY part of the wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing). I am so thankful I had Tara by my side through this process. She was available whenever I needed her, so prompt with responses, so clear and detailed when dealing with all of my vendors. I am so grateful for everything she did to make the day perfect for my guests and my husband and me!

  Indispensable

  I can honestly say that I would not have been able to pull off my wedding without Blue Sparrow Events. Not only is Vanna extremely organized and detailed, but she has an extensive knowledge of the industry and great eye for design! Vanna made sure we had a bullet proof timeline, that all of our vendors were on the same page, and in the end that all of our decorations and design choices were put together flawlessly. She made our vision come to life and was not afraid to warn us when we were going off of the rails or trying to take on too much. The first thing I recommend to anyone who is getting engaged is to hire BSE (if available!) because it is absolutely worth every penny!

  Blue Sparrow Events's reply:

  Conor, thank you for expressing the value in me + Blue Sparrow and our services! It's sometimes difficult to put into words all that we do, yet you just did it so effortlessly... "bullet-proof timeline"... I may have to work that into my marketing materials ;) Your wedding was one of those magically smooth-flowing days where everything ran on time down to the minute, even the band breaks + band sets! Thank you for being a fun couple to work with and for spending a ton of time on the details. You ultimately made my job easier and it contributed to making your day a total success! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!! xoxo Vanna V.

  Thank you, Blue Sparrow!

  Hiring Vanna and her team at Blue Sparrow was one of the best decisions I made while planning our wedding. We only hired her for our day of coordination but she was still there every step of the planning process with recommendations and advice when I needed it. We also had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and she was so helpful in helping us organize and reach out to vendors for an easy transition to a new date. On the day of the wedding, I didn't worry about a single thing because I knew Vanna had a handle on everything. My husband and I were able to enjoy the day completely and had the best time. Thank you for everything, Vanna! I cannot recommend you enough.

  The best of the best!

  Where do we even begin! After reading the glamorous reviews about Vanna and her team we decided to give her a call - and we are so glad we did! After our first call with Vanna I felt as though we were already best friends. I went into wedding planning with a mental image of what I wanted things to look like, but with zero idea of how to make it happen. Vanna and Mia made every aspect of my vision come to life, and more. From site visits, vision boards, phone call and facetime meetings, Vanna held my hand throughout the entire process and made it so easy and fun. She helped me pick out all of our A+ vendors who ALL raved to us about how professional and outstanding Vanna and her team are to work with. It says a lot about a planner when every vendor in town is overjoyed to find out they get to work with her! Vanna knew what I wanted, even when I was unable to put into words exactly what I was thinking. She has such a great way of getting to know the brides style and helping make decisions that she knows the bride would love. I trusted her beyond measure. I frequently found myself just saying “you pick!” to things because I just knew that she would make the right choice for us. When we started planning the wedding, there was no covid. Halfway through when covid struck, of course, I hit panic mode. Vanna was my therapist during this time and immediately calmed my nerves. She knew all of the local laws and regulations regarding covid and weddings, worked closely with the venue coordinator to stay on top of their particular rules and requirements and all the while keeping my hopes and wishes at the forefront of the planning. Finally, two weeks before the wedding we had the guest count and the layout finished. It was at the time that we had an unexpected influx of RSVP’s! Vanna and Mia, calm cool and collected as always, went out to our venue multiple times on their own to re-do the floor plan to accommodate the extra guests and make it just as perfect as it was before. By the end of the wedding, all of our bridesmaids and groomsmen loved Vanna just as much as we did! At the end of the night, she came in to give my husband his tuxedo jacket that he had left in the reception area and ALL of our friends started chanting her name- It was epic! Vanna, Mia, and the Bluesparrow Events team are single handedly the best, most organized, most creative, sweetest, most put-together group of people I have ever met. We truly don’t have enough good things to say about them. We tell everyone we know that they are the only option when it comes to wedding planning! They planned and executed the wedding (and rehearsal dinner!) that I have always dreamed of and we couldn’t be more thankful to now call Vanna and Mia lifelong friends!

  The perfect wedding planner does exist and it is Blue Sparrow Events!

  Working with Vanna was the second best decision I have ever made (second only to my husband and barely at that!). She is dedicated, creative, supportive, and makes your dreams hers as she creates the wedding you see in your head but do not know how to make happen or (if you're like me) even put into words. Vanna is somehow able to be exactly what you need at every step of wedding planning. She is clearly your teammate and advocate as she guides you through the world of weddings. I was never stressed or worried that things would not turn out because from the moment I met Vanna I knew things would be perfect. That trust was not misplaced. Vanna created the wedding of my dreams and EVERY SINGLE PERSON attending cannot stop talking about how amazing everything was. I know this review falls short of her truly incredible ability and awe-inspiring hard work so if you get anything from reading this- hire Vanna and you won't have to wonder if you will love your wedding because when you meet her you will know beyond a doubt she's the best there is and your wedding will be perfect and designed for you.

  Blue Sparrow Events is the best!

  Vanna is truly such an incredible person. Her + Mia did such an amazing job making our special day perfect.
  
  I met Vanna through work - I'm a venue manager here in Austin. I knew I wanted to hire the moment I met her, even though we weren't engaged yet.
  
  At the start of the process Vanna sent over a guide full of recommendations from timeline guidelines, vendor references, and even tipping recommendations. She was so supportive throughout the process and was available for the smallest and the biggest decisions. She also did an amazing job managing vendor communication, especially the month of the wedding. She took over and made sure to prioritize us (me + the groom) not having to worry about the stress of planning so we could enjoy the last weeks of being engaged.
  
  Another reason why Vanna stands out is because of her attention to detail and her ability to make decisions in the moment. I know first hand from working weddings that a lot of small things come up throughout the day, and how your coordinator manages those details can have a huge impact.
  A lot of brides don’t see those things happening, but and that’s because you aren’t supposed to when you have a good coordinator.
  
  It was truly the best day of our lives, and we are so thankful we had Vanna + Mia there to make that happen.
  
  If you are still hesitant to hire Blue Sparrow Events: I have worked with many coordinators and I can tell you with full confidence as a fellow vendor and bride that you will not find any one better than Vanna.

  Blue Sparrow Wedding Planning

  I literally don't think my wedding would have come together without Vanna...truly! She was with my fiance and I throughout every step of the wedding process, and assisted us in every decision and detail. The idea of planning a wedding really intimidated me and stressed me out, so it was invaluable to have someone that I trusted to make it all happen. We clicked with Vanna from the beginning, so working with her in the wedding planning process was really enjoyable. The Blue Sparrow Team is lovely, and I can't recommend them enough!

  Absolutely Amazing

  Vanna and her team are absolutely AMAZING!! When I first started wedding planning I noticed very quickly how overwhelming things can be. This is when I found Blue Sparrow Events. I initially reached out because I saw how beautiful their Instagram page was but after my first over the phone meeting, I knew I made the best decision of the whole wedding process. Vanna truly listens and walks you through every single step. She lays things out so perfectly so you won’t miss a step. Her readiness to help is unbelievable and her design skills are out of this world. I chose a venue 3hrs from my home so most of our planning had to be done via phone/email and let me just say I not once felt stressed or overwhelmed and I truly believe it’s all because of her and her team. Fast forward to the wedding day, seeing my dream wedding at Contigo Ranch come to life so beautifully was unreal. If I could relive the whole entire process I would. I don’t feel like many people can truly say that but Blue Sparrow Events is simply the best. They are fun/hardworking/dedicated/talented ladies and I’m blessed I got to have them bring my dreams to life.

  The Wedding Lifesaver

  Vanna-the-Planner is a wedding lifesaver. She kept everything running smoothly during some very turbulent wedding planning and was always available to discuss pressing issues or small details. Vanna has a true passion for wedding planning, from her detailed lists to her fun presence, and she is an incredible person to work with. Vanna supported my “out-of-the-box” wedding and encouraged my silly whims. Thank you Vanna for supporting us through this adventure and thank you for holding our hands through the bumpy parts! You gave us the priceless gift of a relaxing wedding. We had not a care in the world, except for each other, all day!

  Awe! My sweet Lindsey! Your words are so kind; THANK YOU!! We definitely had some unexpected (and unwarranted) bumps along the way, but I'm so glad everything all worked out in the end.. And yes, you literally had one of the smoothest wedding days! Thank you for being such an incredibly thoughtful, considerate and kind-hearted bride + person. Working with you was a true joy, Lindsey. Even with some challenges, you (and your mama!) made my job easy-breezy!

  Vanna tha Planna is the Best Planner a Groom Could Hope for!

  For any fellas reading these reviews (or Brides concerned about their grooms being reluctant participants in the planning process), Vanna & Blue Sparrow Events ("BSE") made wedding planning an enjoyable process. My wife and I hired BSE for the full-service planning and design. She pulled everything off in about 6 months. Working with Vanna is so easy because she is an extremely organized, an incredible listener, and genius visionary. She was able to take implement my wife's vision on a granular level to the point that every detail of our wedding from the ceremony, all the way down to the votives (YES-she taught me what a votive was!) said something about who we are as individuals and as a couple. She was on top of every aspect and was able to anticipate the questions and concerns of the other vendors at the outset so that nothing was left in question.
  
  As a groom, I was hesitant to be involved in the planning meetings. But Vanna knew exactly when to include me and when to (politely) let me know that I could tune out. I was grateful for that because it allowed me to support my wife through the stressful planning process without getting in over my head (or bored out of my mind!). In the end, I never saw my wife happier than on our wedding day. It has been over two months and still not a day goes by that she doesn't bring up a memory from that day.
  
  If this all sounds like a typical review, I should note that we planned the wedding from over 1,000 miles away. My wife and I live in Denver and got married in Austin. Additionally, Vanna had never planned a wedding at our venue (Villa Antonia) before. So, Vanna didn't just execute the perfect wedding, she did so at a venue she was (1) unfamiliar with, and (2) by working around the schedule of two busy attorneys who live in a different timezone. She was integral in helping schedule weekend meetings with vendors and late evening Skype calls to talk about the wedding. Vanna can literally do it all. I mean it when I say our wedding would not have been possible without Vanna and her BSE team. I could not recommend someone more.

  Blue Sparrow Events's reply:

  The first thing I should probably do is thank you for this stellar review, Philip... But I can't help but get a goofy smile and fuzzy feeling every time I read "my wife" in your review - eek! I love that you get to say that now and use it so freely. You and Laura definitely set the bar for what a loving, respectful and considerate relationship looks like, and having you thoroughly involved made the planning processes easier on your wife ;) and on me! You can forever thank me for teaching you about all the wedding jargon, including what a votive is - haha! And I will forever thank you, one of our only grooms, for taking the time to write such a considerate and honest review.
  
  Also, your wedding photos are amazing and you can expect to see them all over the place cause y'all basically look like models.
  
  All my best, Vanna Van Oss

  Seamlessly created an incredible wedding planning experience

  To Vanna: If I could relive everything about my wedding day over and over and over again, I would. Philip and I had the most magical black-tie wedding affair of our lives. To the people scoping out Vanna: I was indecisive from the very beginning, but my lovely groom new Vanna was the gal for us. I had words to describe what I wanted on my wedding day, but almost no inkling as to how to make it happen. I wanted elegant, romantic and intimate. Vanna knew exactly which vendors would work with our personalities, she was flexible when we wanted things to be changed (even last minute), she was INCREDIBLY KIND AND CONSISTENT. She does not leave any page left unturned. Vanna is so mature, professional and an incredible visionary. My husband and I both often worked late nights and Vanna would accommodate us with early morning and late night calls. She also executed everything incredibly, even considering the fact that we were planning the wedding from Denver, Colorado. When you work so closely with someone who deeply cares about what they do and want you to feel completely satisfied and fulfilled - the only way to feel is like you are planning your wedding with one of your best friends. Lastly, Vanna is alway certain to put the bride and grooms desires above all because the way she says it - "It's your day, you get to do what you want!"

  "the only way to feel is like you are planning your wedding with one of your best friends." - - okay, cue ALL the waterworks!! Laura, I cannot thank you enough for choosing to work with me/Blue Sparrow Events. Planning your beautiful, stunning, intimate wedding with you and Philip was a highlight in my wedding planning career. We did it long distance, in less than 6 months, and it truly could not have come together more beautifully. I'm extremely proud and 100% honored to have been the one by your side along the way and on your wedding day. Thank you for the most lovely words and for taking the time to write a heartfelt response. It truly means the world to me, Laura.
  xoxo - Your favorite wedding planner ;)

  Highly Recommend!

  Vanna did such a wonderful job with my wedding! She went above and beyond to fill in the small details that I never would have thought about. She took my vision and made it come to life. I am especially amazed by the seamless transitions throughout the entire reception. Everything just fell into place because of her attention to detail. Thank you Vanna! I highly recommend.

  Blue Sparrow Events's reply:

  Ms. Sarah! Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting me with your wedding while planning from a distance. I absolutely adored working with your mama, and I know I already said it, but you were the sweetest bride; I wished you would have lived closer so we could have spent more time together planning. I wish you and Brad all the happiness moving forward into this next chapter. I'll stay following along on IG for all your next adventures. xoxo - Vanna V.

  Wedding Planning Perfection!

  I'm the groom celebrating our one month anniversary. Over the past month, I've been able to reflect a lot about how perfect our wedding day was and we owe that to Vanna at Blue Sparrow. There are so many decisions to make, vendors to schedule and details to plan for - the value of Blue Sparrow's service cannot be understated. My now wife and I felt that a lot of the weight was taken off of our shoulders during the wedding planning process, freeing up what little time we had after our busy work weeks. Leading up to the wedding, we were confident that we were in good hands and are super grateful for the attention to detail and effort Vanna put into our big day. We were able to sit back and truly enjoy the day without worry. Our wedding was an absolute dream - Thanks again Vanna!

  Neal, I still recall the look on your face of slight shock mixed with amazement at our final site visit when I was firing off my list of questions to your venue + caterer. It made me feel like I must be doing something right. Thank you for being such a great support system for your now WIFE! And contributing when it came to the most important elements - food, booze + music! ;) I truly enjoyed being the third-wheel on all our tasting dates and getting to hang out with you two throughout planning was one of the most fun parts of working together. I miss you + Tyler and wish you two a lifetime of happiness in your future! xoxo - Vanna V.

  Dream Wedding Achieved

  My daughter and her fiance are excellent planners; however, we would not have wanted to manage such an important event on our own. Enter Vanna from Blue Sparrow Events. From our first meeting, we were confident in Vanna's ability to listen to our vision, respect our choices (and our budget!), and attend to all pre-wedding and wedding day details. Weeks before the event, Vanna emailed us a detailed to-do list, which helped us corral last minute items and make final decisions. She reviewed our vendor contracts and spotted a few details that we had overlooked, which helped to ensure that we contracted for exactly what we wanted and needed. Two weeks prior to the wedding, Vanna emailed our vendors and let them know that she would be their point of contact going forward; the few questions that came up from vendors were passed quickly along to us for answers. On the day of the wedding, Vanna and her team took charge and executed our dream wedding flawlessly. I highly recommend her!

  Ms. Deborah! Thank you for taking the time to write such kind words. You're right in that Lizzy + Austin were great planners, but as the mother of the bride, you also brought up some savvy suggestions and legitimate concerns... As the old saying goes, mother knows best! I appreciate all your hard work and effort in those final weeks helping get everything completed and ultimately helping me do my job. It was a beautiful and seamless wedding.
  
  Sincerely,
  - Vanna Van Oss

  A very happy Mother of the Bride

  As mother of the bride, and mother of a bride who lives out of town and has a very specific vision, I was hoping for a wedding coordinator who could help us make that vision a reality. We found that person in Vanna. We hired her for partial planning with full day of event coordination. From the beginning, she showed the personality, the excitement we were looking for. She made us feel like we had all her attention and time. Even with a venue that changed owners half way through the process and all the uncertainty that brought, Vanna was calm, patient and positive. My daughter was extremely happy with Vanna and her team. During the wedding, she and her team were on top of every detail and incredibly helpful. I totally recommend Blue Sparrow Events!

At times during planning, we were faced with challenges and I'm glad I was there with you + Lindsey to tackle them head-on and help us move forward in the best direction. Everything turned out beautifully and I'm so glad our paths have crossed. Thank you again for your kindness and grace throughout the process. xoxo

  Very happy mother of the groom

  As the mother of the groom, I didn’t play a major role in planning my son’s wedding, but met Vanna on the day of the rehearsal. I was immediately impressed with her friendliness and professionalism. She put the wedding attendants at ease and efficiently guided us all through the required steps while keeping everything relaxed and light-hearted. The wedding and reception were expertly choreographed and Vanna ensured the bride and groom had the experience they envisioned. I would definitely recommend hiring Vanna and her team at Blue Sparrow Events for your upcoming wedding!

  Big Dreams, Better Reality

  It was so lovely to get to work with Vanna during the planning process for a dear friend's wedding. As their officiant, I had a TON of questions. Vanna made everything crystal clear, served as a hub of communication for SO many involved parties, and did it all with grace, professionalism and expedience. The wedding had a very specific vision, and Vanna helped crystallize it all to make it even better than we could have imagined. Thank you so much for making this a beautiful day. Special thanks for helping us think of all the details that would have slipped through the cracks so that there was no need to panic - just to relax, feel the love, and enjoy the party.

  Thank you, Blue Sparrow Events!

  Words cannot express my gratitude for Vanna at Blue Sparrow Events. The first time I met Vanna, I knew she would be my perfect match. Vanna is gentle, innovative, productive, organized, and best of all PATIENT! I needed the patience because I had no idea what I wanted or needed for my wedding. Vanna was great with communication the entire time. She talked to me hours longer than needed and put in more time and effort than I could have imagined.
  
  I started working with Blue Sparrow Events a year before my wedding. Before we signed the contract with Blue Sparrow Events, Vanna had already helped me narrow down the perfect venue for my budget. In the months up to the wedding, Vanna helped me find vendors that were in my budget and would help my vision come to life.
  
  The weeks up to my wedding, Vanna put together the most detailed timeline for the day of the wedding with details for each vendor that she had confirmed as well as every piece of décor. She made me feel so comfortable in the week up to the wedding - knowing we had everything organized and ready to go!
  
  The day of the wedding, Vanna was my hero. Everything came together perfectly. More perfect than I could have imagined. She calmly directed everyone and helped us to be in the right place at the right time. She was great at keeping to the schedule, yet flexible when we had to make changes.
  
  I couldn’t be more thankful for Blue Sparrow Events. My day was the best ever because of Vanna.

  Ugh! Bestill my heart, sweet Bonnie! I appreciate your thoughtful reflections and loving comments more than you know; thank you for taking the time to write such a genuine review. I absolutely loved teaming up with you to plan one of the most epic wedding days! I truly had fun and wish it wouldn't have had to end. Wishing you + Alex lots of love, laughter, and wrinkles from growing old together! xoxo

  Best Decision Ever.

  Not sure where to begin, but I'll start by saying my wedding wouldn't have been perfect if we didn't have Vanna. She covers every last detail and gave me every tip in the book to make sure our special day didn't have a single hiccup and also so I didn't spend the day stressed out. I truly knew with her there I didn't have to worry about a thing. There are so many decisions that have to be made along the way, more than you can imagine, and she helped me make nearly every one of them. She talked me out of bad ideas and coached me through the ones where a decision seemed impossible. She keeps you organized and focused on what's really important, because it's easy to get lost. Her services were worth every penny. Through it all she also became a friend. I could not recommend her more. The question now is do we have her as a guest or use her services again when it comes time to renew our vows ;)

  Thank you SO MUCH, Megan, for this sincere and thoughtful review. I've got fuzzy feelings and goosebumps reading this over and reflecting back to your wedding day (and ceremony rehearsal!). I know you had a million and one decisions to make while planning and I couldn't be more honored to have been the one by your side helping guide you... As for round two, by then I'll have a team of planners, so one of them can take on your vow renewal and I'll 100% be boogie-ing on the dance floor with you and all your party-animal friends!! xoxo - - Your favorite wedding planner ;)

  Happy Bride = Happy Father of the Bride

  Like the old song says … ‘I Had The Time Of My Life’ … and much of the credit belongs to Vanna Van Oss for helping to make my precious daughter Megan’s dream wedding come true! It was literally the best day and weekend of my life!
  
  Vanna’s attention to detail, and commitment to excellence, insured that Megan will always look back on her wedding with a huge smile, and the knowledge that she would not change a single thing. Using ‘absolute’ terms, like ‘always’ and never’, are usually exaggerations to some extent, however my daughter and I have reflected on her recent wedding together, and we both agree that it is fair and reasonable for us to describe it as ‘perfect’…in large part thanks to Vanna.
  
  As a ‘dad’…I am self-aware enough to know that the ladies calling the shots regarding my daughter’s wedding were right to be more interested in my ‘signature’, than my ‘opinion’…however, I was always made to feel like I was a valued and respected part of the team that made our experience so unforgettable. Also as a ‘dad’, I was very impressed by Vanna’s adept acumen at knowing exactly when to use the ‘carrot’, as well as when she needed to bring out the ‘stick’ in dealing with such a large and sometimes overly boisterous group of well wishers…like during the rehearsal, and immediately prior to the beginning of the actual wedding ceremony.
  
  The venue is always essential to the quality of a wedding experience, and we were blessed with gorgeous weather, at a breathtaking resort, however Vanna made sure that our wonderful ‘canvas’ was painted beautifully by coordinating everything from the decorations to the food and beverage, to the entertainment, to the flow and schedule of the individual events which made up the overall ceremony, to the point of my daughter’s joy, and…’perfection’.
  
  As a father of a daughter who I love more than I love life itself, I cannot place a value on the quality of experience that my daughter Megan, and our most appreciative family, were blessed to enjoy … and our experience was ‘priceless’, while at the same time being an excellent ‘price/value’ dynamic. Vanna worked with my daughter Megan like the proverbial ‘hand and glove’ to create and execute a dream wedding come true, and for seeing that joy and happiness on my daughter’s beautiful face, I am eternally grateful.
  
  Thank you, Vanna!

  Reading your review, Warren, brought such a smile to my face! I think you hit the nail on the head with everything, especially when it came to corraling the loud + boisterous wedding party :) Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to write such a thoughtful and accurate review. I couldn't have asked to work with a more accepting and open family. You all had me feeling like apart of the family when all was said and done. I'm truly so grateful!
