Mandy C. Sent on 03/11/202110/10 ! Wedding of my dreams!
Bernadette was the absolute, hands-down, best day of coord a bride could ever ask for. She was so chill, intentional, and kind. She was the perfect combination of calm and efficient - making sure everything went perfectly (literally, every detail!) while keeping me sane at the same time! -

Ultimate in professionalism, style & class!
Desert Whim transformed a 'backyard' wedding into an elegant black-tie affair! We first heard about Desert Whim from a family friend who had thrown a BEAUTIFUL wedding, which you never would have known was on a tight budget. Seeing how much 'bang for buck' Desert Whim delivered with our family friend, we immediately reached out for a consultation. The magic behind Desert Whim's owner and lead designer, Bernadette, is no secret because they were totally booked up! But - as you will discover - there is NOTHING Bernadette cannot do. She pulled strings, moved mountains, and somehow got us on her books for our dream wedding and our desired date. Following months of planning and preparation, we were thrown a curve ball with COVID-19 which caused multiple major changes at the last minute. Bernadette's team remained totally unfazed and consistently brought a "can do!!!" attitude with healthy (NOT overbearing) enthusiasm that kept us afloat during all the pandemic ups and downs. We fully trusted Bernadette's taste, experience, and leadership. Her team thought of EVERY detail and took care of EVERYTHING seamlessly. She stood up for us when vendor negotiations occurred, and as stated above, NEVER (not once!) came back from a problem without already having a solution. Her team was impeccably professional throughout the planning, preparation, execution, set up/breakdown process; and treated us like we were their close friends who we've known forever. Everyone was 500% respectful, clear in communication, and extremely responsive. The final product was PERFECT, just as we had hoped for. You will not find a better wedding planning / design team. Don't hesitate; BOOK DESERT WHIM NOW!!!!!! -

If I could give them 100 stars I would! What a magical wedding it was last weekend at Gather Estate! We had gotten engaged in 2018 and spent much time with Bernadette and her Desert Whim team planning our special day! Bernadette is absolutely the most wonderful lady to work with, so attentive and professional, but also makes you feel like family! From start to finish they execute perfection, make your vision come alive. People ask if you were stressed or worried the day of the wedding and I can honestly say, I felt taken care of, I was able to focus completely on the most important part of the wedding, marrying and saying my vows to my husband.
If you are in search of a wedding planner, look no further, seriously just don't! You have found your match and will have the most beautiful wedding with Bernadette and her Desert Whim Team! -

Beyond Perfect
You know your planner is doing their job well when your photographer says during sunset pictures, that this is the most seamless wedding he’s ever been apart of. “There hasn’t been ANY problems”, I just thought as being the bride I hadn’t heard of them, but no everything was so well planned, there were no hiccups.
Two most important thing when selecting a wedding planner is their personality and trust. For me, I had a vision and I needed to trust that Desert Whim would keep its integrity, and they exceeded my expectations. Bernadette and her team were the best fit, because of her way she neutralize stressful situations paired with her can do attitude. It was so nice not to worry and trust in Bernadette throughout my planning process. I could ask for her advice or tell her to use her judgment. Even through countless rehearsal dinner venues cancelling on us, Bernadette’s attitude put me and my now husband at ease, trusting we’ll find the perfect fit. Which of course we did.
My wedding weekend and day was beyond perfect, thanks to Desert Whim. -

We used Desert Whim for our Vendor Curation at the beginning of planning. Bernadette was an absolute gem to work with!! She cared so much about us as individuals and making our wedding unique to us. We were able to get some fantastic vendors booked that we wouldn't have found otherwise. Her expertise and knowledge in the space is so valuable. Especially when you're a stressed bride just starting the process of planning, which is overwhelming. Not only that, but she genuinely became a friend by the end of planning. I would recommend her 10x over! -

I cannot say enough good things about Bernadette and Maddy from the Desert Whim team. I was an out-of-town bride trying to plan a wedding from afar and I really needed a wedding coordinator to take the lead for our wedding weekend. From the moment I connected with Bernadette over the phone, there was an instant connection. She completely understood our vision and made the rest of wedding planning a breeze. Bernadette is extremely organized, responsive and genuinely so sweet. She truly helped make our dream wedding come to life and I am so glad we invested in a wedding coordinator. I would recommend her and the Desert Whim staff to any bride looking for help. -
Lauren Sent on 09/26/2018The Desert Whim Team & Bernadette made our Wedding Day beyond magical. There were so many behind the scenes things that needed to come together the day of the wedding in regards to decor and helping to organize the vendors, and they did such a fantastic job of making sure I was relaxed, taken care of, and not worrying about a thing as they made everything come to life. Bernadette helped give me life talks leading up to the wedding if/when I was stressed. She was a friend to me throughout the whole wedding planning process. I truly feel I gained a great friend. Talia did such a great job at the rehearsal dinner organizing us all and leading us through practice! Bernadette recently had a beautiful baby and was willing to take on our wedding just 6ish weeks later, she is a true LADYBOSS! I can't thank you enough for caring and being so genuine throughout the wedding process. Your team was a blessing to us!

Desert Whim is a 10 out of 10 !! I was hesitant on if I needed a wedding planner, but I am SO glad I did it! Bernadette and her team were instantly helpful, always checked in on me, came up with fresh ideas, and stayed calm throughout every hiccup during the planning process and wedding day. They even helped my mother in law throw the rehearsal dinner to lighten up the family's load the day before. From the stunning decor, to being the point of contact with the vendors, to drawing the perfect layout and dealing with my "type A" personality, Desert Whim truly was incredible. The wedding day I knew everything was in good hands and I didn't have to worry about anything. That is HUGE! She made my husband feel calm and at ease during it all and everything went seamless. We had so many compliments with how smoothly everything was ran and how great Desert Whim was. If you are looking for a new friend, attention to detail, and all the support to help you feel at peace, HIRE DESERT WHIM! You will not regret it :)
