    You found your planner..

    I had the honor of planning my wedding with Effortless and her team. Walking into the process without any knowledge of planning such a large event, let alone one of the biggest days of our lives, I felt quite overwhelmed. As an organized person who loves being involved in all the details, I was initially fearful of allowing someone else to have such a large part in our big day. However, we were not disappointed.

    With a toddler to care for, we didn’t have the time to ensure the detail and perfection we wished to see, so we knew we needed help. My partner and I started this process with no idea what we wanted. Ariel, Megan, and Takeysa helped bring our ideas to life. From start to finish, I experienced next to no stress. I always felt I could get in contact with someone for questions or ideas. Ariel was very knowledgeable and provided excellent advice based on her experience.

    Our wedding day was a dream! The décor came together beautifully, and we could not have asked for anything more. The team helped us stay mindful of our budget and were honest with us about some of our wants. Each team member had a strength that contributed to perfecting the day. Saying "thank you" isn’t enough. Effortless and her team will always be a part of our warm wedding memories.

    Dream Come True

    I had the incredible privilege of being the winner of the micro wedding contest, and it allowed me to experience the extraordinary dedication and service of Ariel, the owner of Effortless Sentiments. From the moment I received the notification on 1/4/24 that I had won, Ariel consistently went above and beyond to ensure that my wedding experience was as stress-free as possible, especially considering the limited time we had.

    Ariel's attention to detail and her commitment to making my special day perfect were truly exceptional. One of the things that amazed me most was her willingness to take over all communication with the vendors, ensuring that I wasn't overwhelmed with the planning process. This gesture alone eased so much of the stress that often comes with wedding planning.

    But what truly sets Ariel apart is her heartwarming kindness and generosity. When I expressed that I didn't have a wedding dress, Ariel went above and beyond. She cleared her schedule, gathered dresses she had collected over the years, and even came to the venue so that I could try them on. When I found the dress I loved, Ariel graciously gave it to me free of charge. Her selflessness and genuine care made me feel like a cherished friend rather than just a client.

    I could go on and on about how wonderful my experience was working with Ariel and Effortless Sentiments. I highly recommend Ariel to anyone in need of wedding planning services. She is a true gem in the industry, and with her by your side, you will undoubtedly have the wedding of your dreams. Thank you, Ariel, for making my wedding day so incredibly special!

    Effortless Sentiments's reply:

    Thank you dear for making this giveaway so very much worth while for us. You and your family were a joy. It was an HONOR .

    It Really Was Effortless

    Ariel and her team were able to not only make our dream a reality, but helped us navigate what usually is a very stressful event. She really worked with us on figuring out exactly what we wanted, and brought our personal styles and personalities to create an unforgettable experience. Our wedding truly felt personalized - not just a cookie-cutter event. We highly recommend her and her team!

    An Effortless Experience

    In April 2022, I reached out to Ariel, the heart behind Effortless Sentiments, desperate after numerous setbacks in finding the perfect wedding planner. Faced with discouragement about achieving my dream wedding within budget, Ariel not only dismissed the notion but went on to surpass expectations. The result? A breathtaking vineyard celebration with live saxophone melodies, delectable bites, an elegant dinner, stunning decor, live flowers, a six-tiered cake, and an atmosphere of refined elegance.

    Acknowledging my challenging nature as a bride, Ariel's response was marked by patience, flexibility, and unwavering commitment. She navigated through venues tirelessly, expanding the search across states to discover the perfect, dreamy vineyard with a touch of Portugal.

    Despite my occasional attempts to handle tasks independently, Ariel's expertise proved indispensable. A misguided venture into finding a budget-friendly caterer on Facebook quickly turned disastrous, but Ariel effortlessly rectified it by connecting me with a trusted caterer who not only impressed with great food but also provided a delightful fine-dining tasting experience with our parents. This incident exemplifies Ariel's commitment to making the entire process effortlessly smooth.

    To future brides, my advice is simple: heed the advice of experts. Ariel's guidance, from using the caterer's ice to other practical suggestions, proved invaluable. The day of the wedding, my decision not to follow her advice about the ice resulted in a last-minute scramble for bags of ice. It's these seemingly small details that can turn a day chaotic. Choosing this team ensures an effortlessly enjoyable experience.

    Ariel's role extended beyond planning; she became a personal wedding planning confidante, advocating on our behalf, negotiating prices, and going the extra mile. Working with her felt like having a best friend in the world of wedding planning, always available, even beyond business hours, to provide comfort and encouragement.

    During the final stretch, Megan joined the team, initially causing apprehension as I was accustomed to working solely with Ariel. However, Megan's passion for wedding planning quickly shone through as she seamlessly assisted in various areas, from contacting vendors to creating invitations, all while keeping me on track and calming my nerves.

    Zach played a pivotal role as the voice of reason and calm amid the chaos. On the day of the event, his level-headed approach and hands-on assistance were instrumental in pulling off a flawless wedding.

    On the wedding day, the Effortless Sentiments team (Ariel, Zach, Megan, and Takeysa) worked their magic, adorning the ceremony space with hundreds of flowers and transforming the reception room into a luxury haven. Despite the inevitable bumps in the road, the team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was nothing short of the best. Joining this team is like gaining a forever family. While I'll miss them, I'm eternally grateful for entrusting them with planning my wedding.

    You need Ariel!

    I was hesitant to hire a month of coordinator since I was a DIY bride but I am SO HAPPY that I did. Ariel and her amazing team made sure my wedding ran so smoothly from start to finish- even coming to my rehearsal and having planning meetings leading up to my wedding. I truly dont know how I would have had a wedding day without her. She set up all my decor perfectly and packed it up at the end of the night. She is a wonderful presence to have around on your wedding day as she stays calm, cool and collected. After the wedding I even told her she needed to charge more since she does so much! YOU NEED HER!

    Must-have!!

    Ariel went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless. Unanticipated things always come up during the week and day of, and Ariel handled them all effortlessly.

    Above & Beyond!!!!

    Ariel & Team are AMAZING 🤩 Above & Beyond is an understatement. There are always last minute issues and Ariel’s professionalism was top notch!!! She even set up 145 chairs that the venue failed to take care of!!! That is above & beyond!!! She had a solution for all our issues. She was easy to work with and diligent. She put us at ease and worked hard to take care of any of our needs. I highly recommend Ariel & Team to coordinate your wedding/event. We seriously could not have done this without her!!! Ariel was the reason our wedding was a success!!

    10/10 recommend!

    Ariel & her team have been nothing short of amazing. Teams that get along and help you every step of the way are hard to find now-a-days. They pitched in from the beginning to the end of the wedding planning experience and have come together and killed it! It was such a pleasure having them! Ariel became more than just a wedding planner, she went above and beyond to make sure my day was perfect and became such a great friend through the process. She helped book vendors, reach out to them, made a timeline of my day, and all the things to take all of my stress away. The day of she made sure to take candied pictures and videos, so I didn’t have to wait to see my sneak peaks, went above & beyond and brought an emergency kit & the cutest glasses to wear while getting ready, made sure I was calm, and used her professional touch to decorate just the way I had imagined! I recommend them 100000%.

    Truly Above and Beyond!

    I don't even know where to start! Ariel (and her whole team!) are nothing short of amazing. I was an overwhelmed bride who felt way in over her head and was looking for some Day-Of assistance. I'll get to the ACTUAL Day-Of details in a second, but Ariel swooped in about a month early and helped with venue issues, helped calm my nerves, and was constantly checking in to see what else we needed. On the day of - Ariel and her team made my vision come to life. Truly, everything was more beautiful than I could have even imagined. The decorations were set up perfectly, they kept things running smoothly and according to the timeline, and they helped get all decorations torn down at the end of the evening. I could not recommend Effortless Sentiments more for their coordinating/planning services!!

    Incredible Asset to My Wedding Vision

    I used Ariel as my day of coordinator and she was amazing from start to finish! She was super organized, she listened to everything that I was requesting and executed flawlessly. She shouldered the burden of all the day of tasks like a boss which relieved so much stress for me! Ariel and her team are so lovely and personable. I’m keeping her info forever just incase she does other events and will refer her to everyone I know!

    Going Away Party

    No need to look any further. Ariel will take care of all your needs no matter how big or how small. I used her for a going away party at a bar & let me tell you…everything that I wanted I got and more. I didn’t want a big thing of decorations but what did I get? Balloons, confetti, pictures, a backdrop, cake & some of my favorite people in the world.

    Effortless indeed!

    I came to Effortless Sentiments because I needed someone to help coordinate my big day. I needed someone to take care of all of the details while I enjoyed the day as it was. If there were any issues or hiccups, I did not know about them because they kept it under wraps and kept things running smoothly. The day was absolutely perfect! Would highly recommend their services, you surely will not be disappointed. Very professional and friendly. Any phone call, text or email was handled with class and promptly. I tell everyone about this company!
