Exceptional Experience with Geomyra and Team!

I do not know where to begin with Geomyra’s services. I learned about Geomyra through a friend who’d attended several weddings that she’d planned. Engaging with Geomyra was - BY FAR - the BEST decision my husband and I made!!! From the planning process for the destination wedding to the day of the wedding, Geomyra was truly a wizard. Not only was she patient and helpful as we made a decision on the actual wedding city location, but she was incredibly resourceful when we ultimately landed on a destination that was new for her. Everything was INCREDIBLY organized and I felt comfortable truly enjoying my vacation once I landed in Punta Mita, Mexico. We’d decided to host the wedding at an estate (as opposed to having a resort-organized wedding) and Geomyra did an amazing job of sourcing and organizing local vendors, coordinating their arrivals and departures and ensuring that guests were informed and happy throughout their time in a new city. I TRULY did not worry about a THING on my wedding day (except having an amazing time)! Geomyra and her team were incredibly professional, thorough, thoughtful and exceptional on my wedding day. I cannot quite express in words how INVALUABLE Geomyra Lewis was in my wedding planning, coordination and execution!!! I don’t know how people get married without her!!! :) Thank you, Geomyra Lewis Weddings!!!

Geomyra and her assistant Sam were complete lifesavers! Best wedding decision ever to get a planner in addition to the hotel coordinator. Geomyra's detailed timeline, sweet demeanor, and superior vendor management made my wedding day a beautiful dream! If I did not have her it would of been a nightmare if left in the hotel's incompetent hands. Do not hesitate, you NEED HER! She is amazing!

I don't even know where to begin with Geomyra. My original planner went out of business ONE MONTH before my wedding. I was in a total bind. I immediately went to work trying to find a planner and one of the other planner's recommended Geomyra. I read her reviews (they were pretty good), checked out her website (even better) and then we chatted. She was familiar with many of my vendors which was very reassuring and we hit it off immediately. Geomyra was a GODSEND! I can't express this enough. She got to work immediately, tied up all the lose ends and straightened out everything with all of the vendors. On the day off, things were so BEAUTIFUL! I felt like my vision was vague and she was able to create something that was more beautiful then I was able to describe to her. We all loved her! She ran the wedding so well from behind the scenes because people kept asking me "Who's organizing this? It's so well run!". I LOVED IT! Geomyra was not only a fantastic wedding planner (I honestly wish I had her in the beginning) but also a great PERSON. I definitely felt like she was a friend. If you're a bride to be looking to be stress-free, Geomyra's definitely your person! I couldn't recommend her enough!

Geomyra Lewis wedding events was seriously the saving grace of our wedding day. We employed GLWE for the month of wedding coordinator service and in that month before the wedding I was a lot less stressed than I otherwise would have been. Geomyra really helped me pin down a day of schedule (since all of my vendors and venue had been asking and I had no idea and was totally overwhelmed) and answered any questions I had with excellent responsiveness. On the day of the wedding our ceremony was moved to a different location because of the rain and we had not rehearsed in the new location and Geomyra ensured that everything went totally smoothly. In fact, my very frugal husband, who thinks that most things wedding were overpriced, said to me that GLWE was worth every penny and more! I would recommend GWLE to anyone looking for excellent and thorough coordination of their wedding day.

Geomyra and Veronica made our day wonderful! GLWE did month-of coordination for my husband and me, and we were absolutely thrilled. Most important for us: she and Veronica were a delight to work with, and never for even a split-second let on any level of stress. And thankfully, there was never a need to stress! She and Veronica had everything under control. Because of her, my husband and I were able to relax and know that everything was under control. Prior to the wedding, whether it was the comprehensive checklists and info sheets she provided for us a month out or advising us on the order of the ceremony and order of the reception, her knowledge, patience, and skill continually wowed us. I would whole-heartedly recommend the GLWE team.

I used Geomyra for partial planning wedding services, which includes help with finding vendors, décor design, and day of coordination. She is amazing and really knows her stuff. She's so organized and is the planner who will take care of any issues on your wedding day so you're not even aware of them. Her relationships with local vendors really helped me get better prices and be confident that they were of high quality. During the planning process, she was on top of everything and provided amazing advice and tips that I would have never thought of otherwise. Her staff is also excellent and they are all easily accessible and accommodating. Even the make-up and hair ladies said I was the most calm bride they had worked with - why? - because I knew Geomyra was handling everything at the venue, so it would be perfect and all I had to do was show up.

Geomyra and her team are absolutely amazing! When I got engaged I knew I couldn't get through the planning process without her help and the help of her team.
I had a destination wedding in Punta Cana and Geomyra was constantly able to provide me with updates and answers to any questions I had throughout the planning process. Everything was always so organized. The days leading up to the wedding, she constantly checked in with me to make sure I was good and had everything I needed. She kept me calm, cool, and collected if things didn't go as planned. My wedding day was a day I'll never forget and it was all due to her hard work and dedication to making my day special.
I've also had the pleasure of attending a bridal shower that she planned. The decor, location, and personal touches were all breath taking. Geomrya and her team really are talented and I would recommended them to any and every one.

We used Geomyra Lewis Weddings & Events for full wedding planning services. From the moment I spoke to Geomyra I knew she was someone I could trust with the most important day of my life. My now husband and I work a lot and knew we would not have the time to devote to wedding planning but this didn't mean we didn't want a beautiful and memorable wedding day. We reached out to multiple wedding planners when we began our search and Geomyra was the most prompt and the polite person with whom we spoke. That never changed throughout our time with her and her incredible team.

Not only was Geomyra professional at all times, she also cared about our budget. Geomyra worked to find savings for us each step of the way. She never pressured us into buying or renting something that would take us over budget and did an incredible job finding high quality vendors within our price range and was there every step of the way. She also managed each of the vendors for our wedding beautifully. There were multiple vendors who said "When Geomyra calls we come running, she's our favorite!"

On the day of my wedding her and her team were so calm and pleasant to my bridal party and family. Everyone thought she was incredible. If there were ANY issues on the day of our wedding I had (and still have) absolutely no idea. Everything moved smoothly from the beginning of the day until the end. Our ceremony and reception were in the same space and the flipped that occurred in that space was beautiful. Geomyra and her team exceeded every single expectation we had for our wedding day. It was absolutely incredible.

There is no way we would have had a wedding as beautiful as the one we did with the vendor team we had without Geomyra Lewis Weddings & Events. I would absolutely w recommend her to anyone getting married looking for a competent professional with a beautiful personality and phenomenal team. There is no one better than Geomyra!

Geomyra is AWESOME!!!! I planned out my wedding myself, then 3 weeks before the big day I thought, who is going to make sure my big day is executed properly? I can't cut myself in half. So I began researching day-of-coordinators. I received various email quotes from several planners. I chose Geomyra, because of her glowing reviews, plus she is the only planner that discounted her price since she would only have 2 weeks to organize and execute my big day as I had envisioned.

She did so much for me, I don't even know where to begin.

1. The timeline I created for the day was a mess. Times for when vendors were supposed to perform services were unclear, overlapping, or nonexistent. Geomyra created the perfect detailed timeline for me and my vendors to make sure the day ran smoothly.

2. To save money I was going to pick up my bouquet, reception centerpieces, and boutonnieres. Geomyra did this for me. That would have been super crazy for me to attempt that. I'm so glad she saved the day.

3. Geomyra stopped by my house to pick up favors, reception decorations, etc. for the event. Again, I was going to attempt to transport these things. Geomyra saves the day again.

4. I thought I had planned every detail and thought of every decoration idea, but apparently I had missed a few things. Geomyra helped me plan out those little details, for example how to decorate the cake table.

5. Geomyra is very quick about answering phone calls and responding to emails. Any and every question or concern was handled quickly, efficiently and effectively.

6. I ran over time with my photographer, and thought he was going to leave before the cake cutting. Geomyra talked him into staying a little longer to get the shots at no extra charge. None of the guest knew this little hiccup happened either. Geomyra is superwoman for real!

Geomyra's meticulous planning made the day go smoothly, so everything was perfect and better than I had envisioned. THANKS GEOMYRA!!

We were on the fence about having a day-of coordinator, and had already done most of the planning. But after several recommendations from friends, we forced it into the budget and, all said and done, was one of the best decisions we made!! Geomyra made us feel comfortable from our very first conversation, assuring us that she would follow all the details we had already worked out and help us organize the things we had missed. Not only did she come through on that promise, but truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went exactly as planned. I had a small freak out at the rehearsal about some of the decorations, and she immediately fixed the problem. Even though we had only met in person one time before the big day, she knew exactly when to step in and was able to anticipate any hiccups and fix them before they became an issue. She and her team handled everything on the day of, from decorating the church, moving things between venues, making sure we ran on time, and being sure that my husband and I always had everything we needed (bustling my dress, making sure we had food, cocktails, everything!). She and the girls managed to do all of this and still be unobtrusive and allow us to enjoy the day! I absolutely cannot imagine the day without her!!

Geomyra and her team were professional and responsible leading up to the wedding and during. Her event planning tools made for easy and effective communication and her attention to detail put myself, my fiance, and my vendors at ease. Once the vendors were selected, I really did not have to worry about the rest - and Geomyra helped with the selection as well. She facilitated communication with and between the vendors (who all raved about her) and with my family, whom she kept in line very professionally! My husband and I had the most perfect day and did not worry about a thing. She was recommended to us by another couple who planned their wedding in 4 months and 5 years later had nothing but good things to say about GLWE! They chatted at our wedding like old friends. I would definitely recommend Geomyra!

Geomyra was the best decision I made with regards to wedding planning! We seriously could not have had such a flawless and beautiful day with her. Even with the rain it turned out perfect and better than we imagined. Geomyra turned our dream into an executable plan. She is also extremely professional, manages your time well, and keeps you on track when it comes to planning. Thank you so much, Geomyra! We can't recommend you highly enough!!

I worked with Geomyra for the entire planning process of my 150-person wedding in Alexandria, VA. We started approximately a year before the wedding day and right from the start, she made sure that we had a structured timeline and to-do list and recommended many vendors for me to chose from. If one vendor wasn't quite right, she worked tirelessly to make sure we found the perfect fit. I also appreciated that she was very easy to get in touch with and utilized web/technology (pinterest, basecamp, etc.) to make communication flow easily especially when it came to the overall design aspects of the wedding. She accompanied me when meeting with vendors and was always very confident and ensured that I was getting the best price for my budget as well as what I envisioned for the wedding day. In addition, she has a friendly, professional and calm personality which is essential when liaising with family members and handling the stress that comes with wedding planning. The actual wedding day was very smooth and she kept everything running flawlessly in the background so that I did not have to worry about little details and could just enjoy my wedding day. My wedding day went splendidly and I'm so grateful to her and her team. I absolutely recommend Geomyra -- She is the wedding planner of your dreams!

We worked with Geomyra for month-of services for our 150-person wedding in downtown DC. She was such a pleasure to work with and especially useful the weekend of the big event. She kept totally cool and calm and was incredibly efficient as well. She worked seamlessly with all of our vendors and put us all at ease - leading to a wonderful night!

If you want to be stress-free on the day of your wedding (or the month leading up to it), you need to hire Geomyra. I am not convinced that all event planners/coordinators know what questions to ask, pay attention to detail, have industry contacts, and more importantly, the personality to work with a range of vendors and their personalities (or a Type-A, very anxious bride). Geomyra has all of those characteristics and more. She and her assistant, Veronica, made my entire wedding day special and relaxing-- the way it is supposed to be. If there were any mistakes or small fires to put out, I could not tell as they remained calm and in control throughout the day. And the best part: I feel like I made two new friends.

I feel so lucky to have had Geomyra and her entire team plan my wedding. From my initial meeting with Geomyra I knew that I would be in good hands. She asked us a variety of questions to gain a better understanding of us as a couple and went from there. We gave her a budget and she found our vendors, She recommended our Florist, Cake Baker, and Venue. She was prompt and handled all the vendors for me so that I could just relax and enjoy being engaged! She even sent all the vendors a timeline to keep them on schedule. Hiring Geomyra was the best decision I made. I used her full planning services and she was worth every penny! My sister and Best Friend have already booked her for 2013! Should you decide to hire Geomyra, please know that not only are you hiring a planner, you are hiring a team of professionals who will guide you through every step of making your dream wedding come true! Good Luck to all my fellow brides!

A wedding is a once in a lifetime event -- no "do overs" allowed. My niece’s wedding day was April 14, 2012. It was her moment and we wanted to do everything possible to turn her fairytale into a reality. We turned to Geomyra Lewis Weddings and Events for Month of Coordination services. As we reflect on the event, all parties agree that our decision to utilize Geomyra’s team was one of the best decisions made. An absolute must-have for anyone looking to a professional team that can take the stress and chaos out of a naturally chaotic event.
The professionalism, courtesy and calm eloquence of Geomyra and her staff made navigating the hair on fire challenges look amazingly simple -- from coordinating the critical details to ensuring everything was in order on ‘the’ day. This eased the minds of everyone involved and allowed the bride and groom to cherish the essence of the moment. I cannot thank you enough, Geomyra Lewis Weddings and Events!

Geomyra and her team provided "month of" coordination for me and she was great from the beginning. My husband is in the military so we had to move up our wedding quite a bit and I am currently finishing up law school and my wedding came right after my finals. Needless to say I was beyond stressed! Geomyra went out of her way to check-in with me the weeks before my wedding to see if I had any questions or concerns. She also didn't freak out when I sent her my 300 lists, charts etc. since I am a obsessed organizer. On the day of our wedding, everything went so smoothly. I definitely could not have pulled off the whole day myself and kept my sanity. It was really a relief knowing that Geomyra and her staff would be taking care of everything. Even at the end of the night she had already packed up everything we needed and had a cab waiting for us! I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding planner in the future. Not only were her and her staff professional but their calm and happy demeanors were a breath of fresh air to a stressed out bride!

Geomyra and her team provided 'month of coordination' for me and were wonderful from start to finish. She was very flexible and willing to meet with me twice in person before the wedding to discuss details. She is a true professional, knows her business, and made my life and the planning process so much easier. The wedding day was a breeze knowing Geomyra and her team had all the details covered. Geomyra came highly recommended and she exceeded my expectations. Thank you Geomyra Lewis Weddings and Events!

Think you do not need a wedding planner? Think again bride to be! I thought this was a luxury, but truth is that Exceeding Expectations (EE) is a must-have on your wedding day.

After spending all that money and going crazy with the planning, Geomyra and Veronica can only be described as "heaven sent". Geomyra thinks very quickly on her feet and before you ask the question she already has it all figured out. I will forever be grateful for her advice and knowledge. And kudos to Veronica for being so sweet, a master at dress-bustling and bilingual! Most of my family speaks Spanish and there was Veronica to take care of many details whether in English or Spanish!

My day didn’t go flawless (thanks to my mother!), but it went smooth enough thanks to EE. They took care of all my DIY projects and packed all my gifts before reception was over. They were on point all the time and their timeline was a life saver. I only used EE for the “month/day-of services”, but wonder if using them before would have helped me keep a healthy stress level….hmmm?

Go ahead bride! Start doing all that research on wedding planners and you will see why EE is the way to go. Hire them and you will see why they have so many 5 stars reviews. I promise you will love them!

Using Exceeding Expectations was one of the best decisions that I made. Although i questioned whether or not I really needed a day-of/month-of coordinator, i would advise every bride to budget for one - it was worth every penny. Geomyra was great to work with and I really appreciated how she ran a tight ship. She made sure the vendors were on track, discreetly told us what we needed to do and where we needed to be and she totally saved the day when there was an issue with our up-lighting at the museum. 5 stars + for Exceeding Expectations!!

EE did a great job at my wedding! I used just the "day of" services and was very pleased. I worked mainly with Geomyra and she was very professional and on top of her game throughout the day. She had me complete many questionnaires beforehand and had a VERY detailed timeline put in place for every single thing that was happening. I would definitely recommend EE and use them if I had to do it over again. They took care of all of those little things you don't think about (like getting my bouquet from the church to the park where I was taking pictures before the ceremony). Thank you Geomyra and staff!!!!!!

We recently got married in June and hired Myra and her team for Day of Services. It was certainly one of the best decisions we made! Our day was perfect and I never had to worry for a minute that things were not going according to plan. It was a great relief to know that after all our hard work that neither me nor my family had to deal with any little changes or details during the day. Myra made sure that we were on schedule, that the men had their boutonnieres on correctly and even packed our car with all our gifts at the end of the night. I know some people think that day of services is a waste of money, but I promise you it was worth EVERY penny. Your sanity and ability to be able to enjoy thoroughly your wedding day is priceless!

I am sooooo glad I chose Exceeding Expectations to handle my month of coordination. I could not imagine my day without them. Veronica was my coordinator and she was INCREDIBLE! She handled everything from the grouchy church coordinator, transporting my DIY projects, facilitating the rehearsal and so much more. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of the wedding and thats exactly how I wanted it to be. We loved how professional she was and she made my wedding run more smooth than we could have ever imagined.

We are so happy that we decided to use Geomyra as our day of coordinator. Looking back, we can't imagine our day without Geomyra and her assistant, Veronica. Geomyra drafted a timeline for the day and they kept to the schedule. Everyone told us that the wedding was very well organized. We can thank Exceeding Expectations for that! They made sure we were calm and doing well the whole night. They also made sure our gifts and other items went home with the correct people. Best of all, they were very nice people! I would definitely recommend Exceeding Expectations to other brides.

Myra and her team were so incredibly helpful and I'm so glad I decided to use them for day-of coordination. I almost didn't hire a coordinator because friends volunteered to do it, but I decided I needed someone who knew the business, and were being paid to be there so that my guests didn't have to "work" the day of.

Even though I only got the day-of package, Myra frequently emailed in the months leading up to the wedding, checking on how I was doing. Our pre-wedding planning meeting was so helpful and made me feel at ease. She had great ideas. We worked and reworked the day-of timeline over and over until it was perfect. On the day of the wedding, she and her team coordinated everything perfectly. They checked with me often, and acted as a liaison between myself and my other vendors. I don't think I checked a clock the entire night because I knew they would keep us on time. They even did little things like bringing me my flip flops when my feet were killing me in my heels. And not having to worry about setting up/breaking down/packing up, etc, was so extremely nice.

I'd recommend them without hesitation...my Dad said "this is the one thing that was truely worth the money." That's big coming from him!

Myra and her team of superstars certainly earned their paycheck the day of our wedding. As an event planner by trade, I questioned the need for a day of wedding coordinator, but figured it would be best to have someone else wearing that hat the day of our wedding. Myra and her team made sure the room was set up perfectly, the guests were happy and entertained, and put out the small fires that arose during the evening (metaphorically). When we were running 45 minutes behind schedule, they scurried us along so we could make up some lost time, all the while making sure that they weren't stressing us out. When my bustle continued to fall apart, they followed me back to the bridal room to pin it up, regardless of how many times it happened! They took the weight off my shoulders to handle the logistics for the day and made our wedding perfect and enjoyable for all. For such an extremely reasonable price, any DC bride would be silly not to utilize her services... because she'll ensure that your wedding is the fairy tale you've always imagined.

Exceeding Expectations was my savior!! I had no idea what I was doing when it came to planning my wedding. I was so glad when I was referred to Myra because she held my hand through the entire process. Even my girl friends said I was the most relaxed bride-to-be they had ever seen!

All of my guests were stunned at how beautiful event was. I can't say enough wonderful things about Exceeding Expectations! No matter what your vision is or how many crazy family members you're working with, Myra can make your dream come true.

Exceeding Expectations is exactly like their name. I could not have planned my wedding reception without them! EE went above my expectations; I would highly recommend them to anyone. One of the things that I loved was on the day of my reception, I did not have to worry about anything. They handled it all and did it with the utmost professionalism, responsiveness and quality of service.

I recently got married and used Exceeding Expectations for my wedding cordination. They really do stand by the name of their planning company because they "exceeded my expectations". I contracted for the day of planning but Myra and her staff did that and so much more prior to my event. That day was perfect and she kept me calm assuring me that she would take care everything and she really did! I was able to enjoy my event knowing that I was in good hands with her and her staff. So if you are looking for a wedding planner, please choose exceeding expections, you will be pleased!!

I hired Geomyra as a Day-Of Coordinator for my wedding in the Charlottesville area. I initially hired her based on her affordable rates, and I have to say that she and her team were one of the best investments I made for my wedding day. Geomyra, Myra, and Amy were extremely organized and professional to work with. From dressing professionally to creating the most detailed timeline any member of my wedding party had ever seen, Exceeding Expectations truly exceeded my expectations. I stress out very easily and they made my day run so smoothly. They were always there to make sure I had everything I wanted and needed, and they worked very well with my other vendors to make sure that everyone and everything was in place.

I honestly couldn't have been happier with their service and even my parents and my wedding party commented on what an amazing job they did. If I had to plan a wedding again, I would definitely hire Exceeding Expectations!

Myra and her assistants (Myra #2 and Veronica) were amazing. We hired them for day-of coordination but they went above and beyond to help make the day run as smoothly as possible. At first, I thought that I didn't need day-of help since it was such a small wedding, but I'm so glad that I decided to hire Exceeding Expectations. Myra and her associates were extremely professional and profoundly helpful. They ran the rehearsal efficiently and prevented it from becoming one of those long, drawn-out, exhausting affairs that they are so prone to being. Knowing that everything was in their capable hands meant that I could relax, spending time with family before the wedding rather than worrying about all the details. I can't say enough about these ladies, but I can certainly recommend them without reservation. I just hope I could give them more than 5 stars!

Our wedding went about as close to perfect as it could have and we owe that to Myra and her crew.
We hired Myra for the day of coordinating and she made sure everything went smoothly. She kept in touch with us from the day we signed the contract to the day of the wedding. She would ask if there was any relief she could offer even mid way through. She came to the rehearsal to help organize and prepare for day of and also picked up everything for the ceremony and reception that night so she could take care of it all for us.
She gave us a lot of relief day of, I knew I did not have to worry about anything because it was in their hands.
We highly recommend!

I hired Exceeding Expectations for day-of-coordination. The ladies picked up just where I left off and were on top of all vendors and events (and me!). I can not praise Myra and her staff enough, my goodness. I had an outdoor wedding during Tropical Storm Hannah (9/6/08) and somehow these ladies pulled the whole thing off. These ladies were there in the pouring rain setting things up and making sure everything went smoothly for my big day. The nights events went on flawlessly thanks to them. They seemed unphased by the natural disaster and were doing everything in their power to make sure my wedding went on without a hitch. My day was PERFECT regardless of the storm (it blew over just as I was walking down the aisle), and I truly feel like that was due to Exceeding Expectations. Myra promised me a staff of 3 and showed up with a staff of 6! With a lot of Spanish speakers attending our wedding, we took advantage of their bilingual services (Thanks Veronica!). I cannot express how thankful I am to have found Exceeding Expectations. I would recommend Exceeding Expectations to EVERYONE. Their service is such a good deal too!

If you are considering Exceeding Expectations and would like more information or details, feel free to contact me. :-)

Thank you Myra, Veronica, and the rest of Exceeding Expectations' Staff!!

Wow, where do I begin? Myra was amazing to work with. She was my day of coordinator and went above and beyond in every way. I told her how dear my grandmother is to me and she checked on her every half hour. I had a very detailed vision for the venue and she made it look better than I dreamed it would. I extended the reception and hour and a half and she stayed until the very end. Not only did she stay, but there were three (!) people from her company there to make sure my wedding went without a hitch. I got frustrated when my bustle kept breaking and without Exceeding Expectations, I would've never stayed calm. Myra, Myra, and Veronica played a big part in making the wedding of my dreama possible. I would absolutely recommend Exceeding Expectations to everyone.

Best money spent! We used Exceeding Expectations for full planning to assist us with our large wedding. The staff at Exceeding Expectations went above and beyond to make our day a dream come true. Exceeding Expectations is affordable and was readily available to answer any questions or concerns through out our planning process. They handled all of the last minute details so that we were able to enjoy our day. We would recommend them to all brides, and especially those looking to get more bang for their buck.

Myra and the gang couldn't have done a better job. They made the day a dream instead of a stressful nightmare. In planning a wedding with the numerous vendors, it's often quite easy to put a price on the services, and a lot of the time they are overpriced. Exceeding expectations was the one part of our wedding where we felt like we received an amazing deal. In our case they definitely went above and beyond the call of duty.

I would recommend Myra and her team. They did a great job at our wedding. We had a couple small instances of getting off schedule, but they were quickly taken care of. Myra was very responsive to my needs and showed a great deal of patience. The entire team is very sweet and compassionate. We enjoyed working with them and hope we never lose touch. They were well worth the money.

Myra and her team were exceptional. With only 4 months to plan a wedding for 100 people, Myra helped us created an elegant yet informal wedding that was truly fun and special for everyone involved. From identifying sites and vendors to keeping us on schedule and on task, she helped us every step of the way. In doing so, she was there when we needed her and let us work through things on our own when that worked better for us. She never pushed an agenda or a demand and was flexible with our schedules and changing needs. And on the day of the wedding, I knew everything was under control and I was free to take in all of the wonderful events around me. Even our guests commented on how professional, respectful, and helpful the team was -- and I couldn't agree more. I would recommend Exceeding Expectations without hesitation.

I can't say enough about the staff at Exceeding Expectations. They were extremely helpful, professional, kind, and thoughtful of every detail. Plus, they were very reasonably priced. I used Myra for Day of Coordination, but she expanded her services way beyond just the day. As their name states... they went way beyond exceeding my expectations.

Myra and her team were my angels on the wedding day and the rehearsal reception, everything was taken care of and attended to with the greatest level of professionalism, attention to detail, and they made us feel 100% comfortable that all I needed to do was enjoy ourselves! It's hard for me to say I've met people more organized and detailed than I am, but Exceeding Expectations definitely went above and beyond and we highly endorse them to anyone who is looking for planning and day of coordination services for any event!

I used Exceeding Expectations for their Month-of Coordination services. They definitely helped make my wedding day go smoothly- no problems at all. Myra and Veronica were very attentive throughout the whole day to make sure we were happy with everything.
Myra even kept her appointments with me after having some unexpected family issues- you can tell how dedicated she is to her profession. Veronica and Myra really work well together and they are definitely people you want on your team.

Exceeding Expectations did just what it's name implies. I used them for "day-of" coordination for my wedding and I never felt like I had to worry about anything! Myra, the owner, was very attentive to my husband's and my needs and I was able to just sit back and relax on my day!! Without EE, my wedding day would have been far more hectic and not as enjoyable. I would highly recommend EE to any bride looking for a coordinator; they are very experienced and knowledgable. Your needs WILL be taken care of!

We were please with our day of coordination services. Myra and her team were hired for setup and coordination of the reception. However, she was readily available for advice and support in other aspects of the wedding. We appreciated the team's organization, professionalism and reasonable prices. We would highly recommend Exceeding Expectations.

Geomyra Lewis and her assistant, Veronica, were a pleasure to work with. We hired them as day-of coordinators. They submitted a lengthy questionnaire about our plans, vendors etc. about a month ahead of time which were daunting but very helpful in organizing us. The day of the wedding had very uncertain weather and Geomyra was steady and calm in helping us to make our final decision about risking an outdoor ceremony. When we realized that the photograph and signature mat were improperly framed, they brought it back to the framer to be fixed just hours before the ceremony. Our guests told us that everything flowed smoothly and I know we have Geomyra to thank for that. She impressed us initially with her professionalism, her warmth and as we got to know her, her unflappability! The latter a very desirable quality in a wedding coordinator. Geomyra gets our thanks for helping us to have a fabulous wedding and our unqualified recommendation to anyone looking for help in planning a wedding.

Geomyra and Veronica were of immense help on my wedding day. There is no way we could have orchestrated such a smooth event without them. Geomyra's calm was so appreciated in the face of so many anxiety-producing details. My husband and I both agreed that while you normally think of an event planner as someone who is running around and trying to get everything organized, Geomyra's demeanor is much more efficient as it let us both relax and feel that everything would happen as planned. I would without a doubt recommend Exceeding Expectations. The day could not have been as wonderful without them.
