Allison Sent on 02/26/2026Would Recommend 100x Over
Where do I even begin... my wedding day was an absolute DREAM! And a HUGE part of that credit goes to having a great planner. Norma was just what we needed from beginning to end. She understood the vision, she executed everything perfectly, she connected us with vendors, helped us stay in budget, and even made the right calls on wedding day when we needed to pivot for things. She is the only reason we could go into our wedding week and day absolutely STRESS FREE!
When we started the wedding planning process over a year ago, I had thought a lot about if we even wanted a planner as I am very type-A and like to be in control so I can feel like things got done. This was important when we were selecting a planner as I work full time and knew I couldn't do it on my own + needed an expert to help me with the things I wasn't thinking of. We had a few calls with different wedding planners and ultimately ended up choosing Blush by Brandee Gaar. Speaking to Brandee herself we felt like we could put our trust into her team to carry out our needs. Because of my type-A personality, we decided on partial planning just so I felt like we had some control. I had a couple "to-do's" on my plate but Norma really took charge on the big vendors, facilitating conversations, helping us navigate our budget, prioritizing vendors, etc. I had no doubt in my mind that Norma would steer us right. We had just the right amount of meetings, attended final conversations with vendors a month out, and Norma constantly made us feel validated in our decisions while coaching us on her experience in this industry.
When it came to the day of, it was absolutely stress free. Norma and her team were PHENOMENAL and we cannot thank them enough for helping us with the biggest day of our lives. Norma created the timeline, and even made one for our wedding party and families. And we stuck to it! She made sure everything ran seamlessly, which is just what we needed.
I know I wrote a lot of words here but there are no words to describe the gratitude and appreciation we have for Norma and Blush BBG. Our wedding day was absolute perfection and we couldn't have done it without Norma. Thank you for everything🤍
If anyone is not sure of if they need a planner because you think you have it under control (which is how I was) TRUST me when I say, you will absolutely not regret putting your trust in Blush BBG. Having a good planner can make or break your wedding and it is absolutely worth it to lean on someone to have things taken care of so you can enjoy the big moments. Absolutely recommend them, you will not regret it 🥰 -

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Norma Ventriere as our day-of wedding coordinator at The Estate on the Halifax, and I truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful we are for everything she did to make our wedding not only beautiful—but smooth, calm, and joyful from beginning to end.
Even though she was technically our “day-of” coordinator, Norma went far beyond what that title implies. From the very beginning, she made me feel supported, understood, and completely at ease. She didn’t just show up a few weeks before the wedding—she was engaged early on, helping us stay on track, offering helpful advice, and making sure we had everything we needed well in advance. Her calm, confident energy was exactly what I needed during the planning process.
On our wedding day, Norma proved she’s truly one of a kind. There was an unexpected issue with our florist—something that could’ve caused major stress and disruption—but Norma handled it completely behind the scenes. She was able to contact the florist and get them to drive nearly two hours back to the venue to fix the problem. We didn’t even know about it until later because Norma took care of it so gracefully and efficiently. I still have no idea how she pulled that off, but I’m so thankful she did.
Her team was also incredible—practically invisible in the best way. Things were always where they needed to be. People were always where they were supposed to be. It felt like everything was just flowing perfectly, and that’s because Norma and her staff had every single detail locked down. Any little question or moment of confusion that popped up was handled quickly, quietly, and with total professionalism.
Because of Norma, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every second of our wedding without worrying about a thing. We were able to laugh, cry, dance, and celebrate knowing that someone incredibly capable had our backs the entire time.
If you’re getting married at The Estate on the Halifax—or anywhere Norma Ventriere works—you will not regret having her on your team. Her warmth, organization, and ability to think quickly on her feet make her an absolute essential on your wedding day. She’s not just a coordinator—she’s a lifesaver. -

As a wedding photographer, I work very closely with event coordinators and I can honestly say Sophia and the entire Blush team are incredible at what they do. These girls will do anything to make sure that our couples have an incredible day all while bringing a calm, kind and fun energy to the room. I remember a particular wedding where we had to navigate pouring rain all day and because of our collaboration, we didn't miss a beat. As a vendor and friend, they have shown me time and time again that they are leaders in the industry and I love anytime we get to work together! -

I’ve worked with the team at Blush for over 14 years—and if there’s one thing I can say without a doubt, it’s that they truly care. Here’s the thing about choosing wedding vendors, especially planners is that you’re not just picking a package or a checklist. You’re choosing people. People you trust to help bring your vision to life, keep you calm when things get stressful, and make the whole process feel less overwhelming.
What I’ve always loved about Blush is how they balance structure and creativity. You can talk through all the logistics, numbers, and details with someone like Brandee (who just gets it), and then fully vibe with a creative like Sophia who brings the magic. It’s truly the best of both worlds.
Blush has been one of the most well-respected planning teams in Orlando for over two decades… and that’s not a coincidence. They know how to manage the moving parts and the people. Their entire team does it with kindness, professionalism, experience and so much heart. -

Chrissy Sent on 12/03/2024Excellent coordination and the best emotional support
If you think you hired the best coordinator in the business and it's not Ashley from Blush, then she is objectively not the best. Ashley stepped in to take the worry out of detail planning and vendor coordination, but what I never expected was the amount of emotional support she offered during the ups and downs of last-minute changes. From vendor mishaps to guest emergencies, Ashley was there to validate, reassure, and advocate every time. Incredibly responsive, not even a major holiday stopped her from checking in and making sure we were good to go! In addition, she is an amazingly kind and strong person; a true joy to know. If you think you don’t need a coordinator, challenge that thought and reach out to the Blush team! Ashley will never let you down. -

Finding a wedding planner was a bit chaotic, but stumbling upon Sophia was an absolute blessing. She's incredibly thoughtful, kind, and dedicated. Sophia transformed the entire process into a stress-free journey, anticipating our needs even before we did. We can't sing her praises enough – booking Sophia was the best decision we made for our wedding. Don't hesitate, book her now! -

Angela Sent on 03/23/2024Amazing planner!
My fiancé and I knew we wanted something special for our wedding day, but with only a few months to plan, we were uncertain if our dream wedding was feasible. However, when we spoke to Sophia, we knew she was the one to make our dreams into reality.
Sophia's passion and dedication to her craft were evident. Despite the tight timeline, she assured us that she could bring our vision to life – and she did so in ways that far exceeded our expectations.
Sophia's attention to detail was impressive. She meticulously coordinated every aspect of our wedding, always listening to my ideas throughout the process and helping me put my vision into words. I have a busy schedule, and she always respected my time in our lunch-hour Zoom calls, ready with an agenda, updates, and emailed to do lists post-calls. Her knowledge and industry connections were evident, and I was easily able to trust the quality of the vendors she brought forward, always letting me make the final decisions. Since we do not live in Orlando, this was invaluable!
One of the most remarkable things about working with Sophia was her ability to capture our unique style and personalities and incorporate them into every aspect of the event. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, helping us infuse the wedding with personal touches that made it feel like "us" in every way. Including live Star Wars characters and a Lego guest book!
Beyond her exceptional organizational skills and creative flair, Sophia's professionalism and calming presence were invaluable throughout the entire journey. Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful, but Sophia was always there to offer guidance, support, reassurance and a laugh, making the process enjoyable. Sophia is the main reason I had fun planning my wedding - I truly felt like I was working alongside a friend I had known forever!
On the day of the wedding, Sophia ensured that everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment. I had virtually no stress because I knew Sophia was there to handle anything that may go awry.
In conclusion, if you're searching for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your dreams a reality, look no further than Sophia. Her passion, creativity, and unwavering commitment to her clients are truly unmatched. Plus, she will make it a fun and enjoyable process for you! We are forever grateful for her role in creating the most beautiful day of our lives, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone embarking on the journey of planning their wedding. Sophia, thank you for everything!!! -

Chloe Sent on 12/09/2023Sophia from Blush
I had such an absolute wonderful experience with Sophia from Blush as my planner. She was quite literally AMAZING! I cant rave about her enough. From the start, Sophia had excellent communication and I loved our sit down Zoom chats to discuss wedding ideas, visions, timelines, expectations, etc. I am someone who is super organized and has planned numerous events for my friends and family, and finding someone just like me in a wedding planner was such an amazing gift. Sophia and I genuinely felt like friends because our conversations were so organic. Even my fiance (now husband) commented how fantastic she was with everything! Truly, truly thank you so much Sophia, you made our wedding experience such an easy, smooth, and fun time. You deserve all the vacations and raises in the world! xoxo
Side note -- Blush's planning pod "To-Do's" was an amazing idea to help keep things on task! -

Brittany Sent on 06/09/2022Best Planner Ever!
Choosing a wedding planner is not easy task. As an out of state bride, in the middle of a pandemic, choosing a it was an extremely important decision. My husband and I wanted someone communicative, professional, and organized who we could trust from Connecticut. Our first interaction with Blush staff was with Jess during a consultation. We immediately developed a great rapport with her and she was certain Blush had the right planner for us- Rachel Baxter. We weren't sold just yet so Jess organized a zoom with Rachel so we could virtually meet and vet her. We loved Rachel immediately and hiring her as our month of coordinator was the best wedding planning decision we made besides booking a venue. We added vendor meetings to our package and also took advantage of communicating with Rachel via calls, email, and text over the course of a year and a half and really appreciated the ability to do so. She was a true godsend and handled our wedding day with grace. We honestly had a stress-free planning process and a wedding day that went on without one hitch and we credit Rachel for contributing to both. She has a great relationship with most vendors in the area and always to understand our vision for every aspect the day. She coordinated our vendors and made sure they all executed our perfect wedding day and we are so grateful for it. I am sure all Blush planners are amazing, but we are biased and have to say that Rachel is simply the BEST. Thank you for everything Rachel! We miss working with you already! -

Bricia Sent on 03/17/2022Rachel from Blush helped make my wedding magical!!
My now husband and I are extremely happy and grateful for Rachel and the Blush team. I cannot imagine how I would have even planned anything without Rachel. My husband and I both work very demanding jobs and having the Blush resources and vendor recommendations at the tip of our hands relieved so much stress. We are most grateful for the vision that Rachel helped us create, we knew going into planning that it was going to be complicated because we wanted a multicultural wedding that honored our cultures and our families while not compromising the simplicity of just giving it a touch of our personalities. Rachel went above and beyond to help us source vendors that were bilingual and helped us in incorporating parts of Catholic traditions during our ceremony and reception. We could not be happier with the turnout of the timeline, we received so many compliments about how well planned it was. Finally, as a bride I am so happy and excited to have gotten all my must haves and Rachel was instrumental in making it happen!!! I had a bilingual ceremony with a touch of Catholic traditions, I had a first look with my dad and my then finance, my table scapes were beautiful, I had plenty of picture time, my DJ moderated the event in English and Spanish, we had a Mariachi, made the famous Mexican Vivora (Snake) dance happen, I got to change into my 2nd dress, and finally we had cake to go boxes by the sendoff location. Our guests had so much fun and we received so much love and compliments on our wedding. Don’t sleep on it and hire Blush to make your wedding magical!!! -

Victoria Sent on 12/09/2021There’s phenomenal & what we experienced well surpassed it!
We recently got married at Bella Colina & reached out to blush for the day of service. I was able to do a lot of the planning up to the wedding on my own… but oh man, when it came closer to the actual day there would have been so many things I forgot if it wasn’t for Rachel. She helped me with so many details you just don’t think of and her actual day of service was amazing. She was so on top of things and that allowed me to be fully present in the moment and enjoy my special day. Every time I asked something she was already well ahead of me by three steps. Rachel was amazing, even more impressive because she just had a baby a few weeks prior. I will recommend blush to everyone!! We are so grateful for your service.

We worked with Serena as our day of coordinator. Planning a wedding during COVID with multiple vendors and date changes can be a little tough. They worked with us through it. As the event got closer, my stress levels were eased because Serena was on top of things. She was sweet, positive, encouraging, and organized. They had tools that made creating and changing the seating chart so easy. I have heard so many compliments about how well planned and organized our wedding was. Definitely worth hiring! -

Jess was such a great help and I’ll miss our chats we’ve had planning the big day. She’s been so flexible with the pandemic and helped me with every detail. She was a sigh of relief and a breeze throughout the big day. She and Deidre were like an extension of the family setting everything up. Love the both of them. -

Ali Watkins from Blush by Brandee Gaar is the most wonderful wedding coordinator! She is organized, responsive, lovely, and fun to work with! She was so helpful throughout the planning process and essential in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She is a great listener and knew exactly how to execute every detail. I trusted her completely and am so glad I did. If you book Ali (which you should) you will not be disappointed. THANK YOU ALI! -

Heather Sent on 04/06/2020Pick Blush BBG and work with Jess! Best wedding decision we made!
We had the Day of Service and I must first mention that after doing a lot of research on planners and the different packages offered, you get more with this package then any day-of service you will find elsewhere. I was lucky enough to be introduced to Jess during my search for coordinators and this was probably the best thing that could’ve happened for our wedding. I know it’s cheesy but from my very first call with Jess, I could see her passion for making wedding dreams come true. The 10-12 months leading up to our wedding she helped me with so many questions and provided some really valuable vendor referrals. Weeks before the wedding she organized all of our vendors and created our wedding timeline and resume. This was so helpful as it’s easy to quickly become overwhelmed with all of the vendors and different timelines. When the wedding weekend came, Jess was there for every detail. From the rehearsal to all of the things that go into the day of, she was absolutely amazing. We have had so many friends and family members compliment her and the way she handled everything. She made us not worry about a thing and truly treated us and our families as if we were her own family. I actually felt like she was one of my best friends through the entire night. Every time I turned around, there she was with my lipstick touch up and a big smile. If there’s anyone who can make your wedding day less stressful, it’s Jess. Whether your looking for a full planner or a day of coordinator like us, I promise you, you will be beyond happy with your decision to go with Blush by Brandee Gaar. And, If you have the opportunity to work with Jess specifically, your wedding will be everything you’ve ever dreamed of. -

Wow, we absolutely love Blush!! They are an incredible group of ladies who only want the best for your big day! We were paired with Brandee, the owner of the company and she went above and beyond to make sure each little detail was what we wanted while keeping us on track. Also what I love about Brandee and Aislinn is their honesty, they will give their genuine expert opinion and steer you in the right direction. They were super easy to communicate with, we could send them a text/email with very quick response time. Would recommend Blush, especially Brandee and Aislinn to anyone getting married in central Florida area! Thank you both for helping our dream wedding come together -

We planned our wedding for over a year with Alison Watkins as our full time planner, and she was absolutely amazing and indispensable throughout. We were planning from afar and couldn't have done any of it without her. She was extremely experienced and organized, and we loved all of the advice she had to give, especially choosing great venders. Working with her was a really wonderful experience :) I highly recommend Ali as well as Blush for your wedding needs!!! -

Rachel Sent on 11/29/2019The most personable, fun, organized, and amazing day of coordinator!!!
I can't begin to explain our gratitude to Jess Clark. She truly went above and beyond as our day-of coordinator. When our original venue canceled on us 6 months out, I immediately reached out to Jess. She dropped EVERYTHING and asked me to meet at her office. She spent the entire day calling around and visiting venues with me. She was exactly the person I needed to calm my nerves and get things done. She was wonderful and helped us find and book a new venue that very same day! She is exactly the person you want/need on your wedding day!! She is the most fun, personable, and organized person you will ever meet! She literally was prepared for everything and the day went so smoothly! I did not have to worry about a thing! Our guests said our wedding was the most well executed event they had ever attended and we owe that compliment to the most amazing day-of coordinator, Jess Clark! -

Ally Sent on 11/25/2019Book Blush... Just do it! You won't regret it
I came across Blush when I asked our venue for their preferred vendors list. I reached out to a few other planning companies, but I felt more of a connection with the ladies @ Blush due to their kind and genuine nature.
During our initial call with Blush after we got engaged, I remember having a million questions about anything and everything. They answered one of my questions right then and there before we even signed the contract. This was when we knew we had to book with them! It was really refreshing to finally find a company that values their clients or potential clients over making a profit.
Although we only purchased the day of coordinator package, we had a feeling we would need advice from an expert throughout the planning process. They explained that they would be available for months leading up to the wedding. We decided to trust their word and book with them... we do not regret this decision one bit :)
Ali was chosen to be our day of coordinator and we absolutely loved her. I was more involved in the planning than my husband was (all he cared about was that he wanted a ribeye on his wedding day lol) and Ali was the perfect balance for me! I am very detail oriented and a perfectionist and because of that I have to weight EVERY option before making a decision. Ali has magical powers and somehow simplified every decision I had to make. She's had so much experience in this industry I did not have any doubts trusting her.
You can really tell that Ali loves her job, especially on the day of the wedding. She was so excited & energetic, but also calming and reassuring at the same time. She was somehow able to quiet our crazy & large bridal party, which is a task in itself. She stayed by our sides all day & made sure that we always knew what was going on and always had drinks in our hands (this is actually more important than I thought).
We were initially going to have the ceremony @ the atrium, and the reception on the lawn but it was supposed to get down to the 50s that night. We ended up moving the ceremony to the lawn and the reception inside (we made this decision at the rehearsal). During the wedding day when Ali and the team were setting up, I had realized that I forgot to mention which way I wanted the chairs facing for the ceremony and they were facing the other way. Ali immediately communicated this change to everyone and 10 minutes later everything was fixed! She made sure to communicate to me what this change meant in a clear and consise way. Something so complicated in my eyes made simple yet again! Normally this is something that would have me really worried on the day of the wedding, but Ali handled it with such grace and I did not feel an ounce of worry.
Thank you Ali for being you! I now know why you've been in the industry for so long and why so many of our vendors RAVED about you. :)

Grace Sent on 11/25/2019Don't even question it. Hire them! You won't regret it :)
I got married in October and worked with Ali! She was amazing and made the wedding planning process so easy. She was extremely organized and never let me forget any of the important little details I needed to tend to. She was very patient with me and offered lots of great tips and ideas. We worked hand in hand and I couldn't have done this without her. I was pretty busy with work during the whole process and it was so nice to have Ali available to contact the vendors whenever needed and answer all my questions when it came to rental coordination and all the tiny details that go into planning a wedding. The actual wedding day was perfect! Everything went so smoothly, it was so nice not having to worry if the vendors arrived on time or what set up was needed. I was able to sit back and enjoy my day with the confidence that everything around me was going to plan. Other than finding the venue (I hired Blush after signing my venue contract) Ali helped me every step of the way. Do not hesitate to hire Blush! They have an amazing team & will help you make your wedding dreams come true. I hired Ali for the full wedding planning package and although it was the most expensive option, I have zero regrets! I wouldn't change a thing about how the wedding was planned & I will forever be grateful to Ali for all of her help. -

Jill Sent on 11/18/2019Best. Planner. Ever.
I saved this review for last because I knew it would be the hardest one for me to write as it does not seem possible to explain how amazing Jess is in such a small amount of words, but here goes. As a Type A, organized, detail oriented person, I had a hard time thinking about relinquishing control of wedding planning to someone, but for my sanity, I knew I needed a month of coordinator (plus my venue required it). I did my research and set up calls with several companies. The first few were horrible – I was not allowed to talk to the actual planner that I was going to be assigned and everyone that I spoke to seemed so stuck up/not fun. I was so disappointed, but I had one last call scheduled and it was with Blush. I was so pleasantly surprised when I learned I was going to speak with the actual planner I would work with. Enter Jess - I knew I was going to hire her within the first minute of our call. We immediately bonded over our love of Disney and dogs. She is so fun, kind, funny, organized, sweet, energetic, and every other positive adjective you can think of. She put me at ease by saying that she was willing to do whatever to make our wedding vision happen. Even though she did not really jump in until the month prior to the wedding, she was so helpful in all the months leading up to the wedding. She was there to answer all of my (many) questions via text, call, and email and gave me vendor recommendations. By the time she took over, I had all the vendors hired and most of the details worked out. She took over, especially with scheduling which was amazing because I could never have organized that in those final weeks when so many final things popped up. Before I knew it, it was my wedding weekend and as someone who gets VERY stressed easily, I can tell you that Jess handled everything so perfectly that I did not feel any stress even when we were thrown several last-minute curveballs. When we had a small hiccup at the reception, my husband tried to get involved to help resolve it and she refused to let him and insisted that he go and enjoy the party. She handled everything so quickly that there was not even time to worry. She also was so sweet and patient with all of our family and accommodated any special request, no matter how unique. My family, in-laws, and friends were so wowed by her – she is unlike any planner any of them had encountered before (same for me). She constantly checked on us throughout the night. She did everything possible to make sure we had the perfect night and we absolutely did. From the day that I hired her until the last second of our wedding when she dropped us off at the bar for our after party (and after when she brought stuff to our hotel), she went above and beyond. There is no one like her. Jess is a wedding superhero; this review does not do her justice. Do yourself a favor and hire Blush. You will be so happy that you did!

We hired Jess to be our day of coordinator and she was amazing! She was quick to answer any of my questions and I loved that she gave me her opinion when many other vendors were wishy-washy.

![Caitlin]()
Caitlin Sent on 05/28/2019Alexis was our perfect Day of Coordinator!
I cannot express enough gratitude, appreciation, and awe of Alexis from the wedding and leading up to it.
From our very initial conversation over a year ago, she was incredibly kind, professional, personable, and made me feel like she genuinely cared about not only the day, but me and Chris as well. Alexis was always easy to access and talk to- she was incredibly responsive, organized, detail oriented, and knowledgeable. Going into wedding planning and hiring a day of coordinator, I knew that I had a strong vision and thought when it came to the wedding, but needed someone more knowledgeable to bounce ideas off of, to ask recommendations from, and to think through things in the lead up, with someone who would be able to successfully execute and manage everything day of. Alexis was absolutely incredible- she checked in with me regularly to make sure I was on track, asked me questions and brought up points that I hadn't thought about, and was able to listen and give advice when I had a difficult time making a decision, ran into an issue with a vendor, or was trying to determine how to best handle a complex family situation. After finally being able to meet in person (my fault for being so far away!), I instantly felt more at peace because I knew she was so on top of everything, that we were in sync with what the vision was, and was so confident in her ability to mitigate conflict and issues.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding- Alexis was my saving grace and only reason for my sanity. She was always one step ahead of me- reaching out to vendors before I had the chance, getting everyone on the same page (which I feel like may have required more effort for my wedding than others- I'm not sure if other weddings seem this disjointed some times, but it didn't seem to matter how many color coded excel sheets or thorough emails or phone calls I had with some vendors- they didn't seem to listen until Alexis talked with them), and helped me work through some last minute issues that came up to what seemed like imminent rain, etc. I must have texted, called, or emailed her every day for the 3 weeks before the wedding- and even when she probably should have taken more time for herself, she always always talked through things, was kind, and was able to find a solution to the problem.
The actual wedding day she was an absolute god send- the day of she dealt with my bouquet that didn't turn out at all how I wanted, coordinated all of the vendors seamlessly, and stopped problems before they happened or without me knowing it. She ensured the entire day ran so smoothly- I had everyone from my bridesmaids, to my mother in law, my own parents, and even random guests who had interacted with her coming up to me to tell me how incredible she was. Alexis made every single person she worked with feel like they were being taken care of, made sure everything happened on time, worked behind the scenes to make sure problems stopped before they happened, and was incredibly efficient. I did not give her an easy task with each table being a bit unique in it's set up, each person having an assigned seat, and having so many items that we brought that she was responsible for on the day of- she ensured that everything was in it's place, that other vendors were in line, and that we had all of our items when everything was packed up. My mom and in-laws RAVED about how absolutely amazing she was and how thankful they were that she was there for the entire day, and especially how smooth she ran everything at the end after Chris and I had left and they stayed back to clean and take things (seriously- they've mentioned her specifically in every single phone call we've had since the wedding). I also wanted to note how much we enjoyed Kim on the day of- thought we didn't get to know her over the course of the year like we did Alexis, Kim was the person there to help calm me down before walking down the aisle, there to help when buttons from my bustle were ripped out to fix it, and was so positive the whole day- I'm not sure what role she vs. Alexis played on the day of, but we really enjoyed working with her as well!
In my everyday life I am very type-A and in wedding planning I took it to a whole other level- putting months of research into every decision, trying to make everything with each vendor (and my own google drive that I shared with Alexis) as organized as possible- I knew that when it came to the actual wedding I was going to have a hard time letting go if I didn't trust the person responsible. Alexis was the perfect fit for me. Going into wedding planning, I knew that my photographer at videographer would have an intimate relationship with me and my family that day, but I didn't expect that Alexis would as well. She saw me at my most stressed, happiest, and most anxious I've ever been and I am so incredibly thankful, and happy that she was the person who was there. The wedding truly wouldn't have been possible without her ! (I’ve included some of the photos from the details she executed so show how well it all came together! ) -

We feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with these ladies for our PERFECT NYE wedding! From working with Brandee through the Howey Mansion and blush, to Allison who assisted our rock star wedding coordinator TAYLOR. They are truly professionals who love what they do! We loved Taylor and are so grateful to have had her as the leader of our awesome vendor team. They are THE BEST planners in Orlando hands down. We can’t thank you enough Taylor!!!! -

Nathaly Sent on 03/13/2017Having the help of Lexie as our day-of coordinator was absolutely the best idea ever! She always maintained an open line of communication and kept us posted with ideas and suggestions to help everything flow on our wedding day. I cannot imagine how our wedding would of turned out without Lexie! Thanks to her coordination, I was able to remove myself from the hassle of contacting vendors or worrying about whatever hiccups all together. Her expertise and organizational skills are a must-have to ensure that you can actually enjoy your wedding and have everything go according to plan. Lexie, I cannot thank you enough for all that you did & making our wedding a dream come true!!!! -

Jennifer Sent on 03/25/2016The best decision I made throughout my entire wedding planning process was choosing Blush to coordinate my wedding. I chose the design and coordination package and was very happy that I did. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with Ali and she was absolutely phenomenal! There are not enough words to express how amazing Ali is as wedding coordinator. She is truly talented and has an obvious passion for what she does. Ali went above and beyond to make our wedding day the most magical day of our lives and made us so unbelievably happy. Ali paid attention to detail and did not miss a beat throughout the entire wedding planning process. Ali is personable, easy to talk to, and always made me feel comfortable. She was always prompt with answering my questions and easing my fears— no matter how silly they seemed to be. Ali was full of amazing ideas to make our wedding day special and unique. She took all of my dreams and visions, enhanced them to make them even greater than I could have imagined, and brought them to life. She also referred us to the most wonderful team of vendors! Every recommendation Ali made was a great one! I went into my wedding day 100% worry free (which is a big deal for me— as I am a worrier by nature) and trusted that Ali would handle everything and make it perfect. Ali made sure everything was flawless on our wedding day. If anything went wrong I definitely did not know about it. Ali handled every situation calmly, gracefully and always had a smile on her face. Ali knew exactly what was important to me and advocated on my behalf as if it were her own wedding. I literally could not have planned my wedding without her. If you are searching for a wedding coordinator I highly recommend you stop looking now because you won’t find anything better than Blush! Thank you Blush, and Ali, for creating a wedding that exceeded my dreams! -

Dee Sent on 05/29/2015I will be the first to admit that I never understood why anyone would pay money for a wedding planner with the ability to use the Internet to look up vendors and to do your own planning. When contracting with the Omni ChampiosGate in Orlando Florida, it included a wedding planner for the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. My daughter it included a wedding planner for the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. My daughter insisted that we needed to pay the extra to have Blush help with all the other details. The Omni gave us Blush's info and we contracted them for the entire planning. The owner, Brandee Gaar, immediately contacted us and she herself took on the planning of Lauren's wedding.
From our first meeting with Brandee, we knew we were in the right hands. I could tell that she was really understanding every detail my daughter was thinking about. We had been looking all over a vendor we could afford to create a special invitation my daughter really wanted. Brandee took one look at it and put us in contact with the perfect person. That set the stage for the start of everything coming together so beautifully. not being from Orlando it would have been near impossible to have found all these top notch, trustworthy, vendors. The second huge recommendation was the florist. Brandee had such a feel for what my daughter was looking for she sent us to the perfect florist. Also, at her office an AMAZING vendor, Kim's Chalkshop, had some her pieces and a book of her work. Since my daughter was having a black and white wedding, Brandee recommended her highly. We had never seen anything like her work and Kim's pieces, working closely with all of the vendor's Brandee recommended, created the perfect decor.
Brandee was at every vendor meeting, was so professional and very fun to work with. A couple of weeks before the wedding she sent us the detailed "wedding resume" which I call a time line. Not one detail had been overlooked. It was ALL perfect!
