    Amazing !!!

    Our wedding planner Shaleena from Little Black Book was truly amazing. She was incredibly patient, and supportive throughout the entire process. Because it was a traditional Vietnamese wedding with several ceremonies, it was a very long day, and she consistently checked in to make sure we were all doing okay. That level of care meant so much to our family. Everything ran smoothly, the day was beautiful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better planner. We highly recommend her!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It was truly an honor to be part of your beautiful wedding and to support you and your family throughout such a meaningful day.

    I’m so grateful I could help ensure everything flowed smoothly. Your trust meant the world to me, your comfort and experience were always my top priority.

    Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, love, and wonderful memories. Thank you again for allowing Little Black Book to be part of your journey

    Wonderful Partner

    We can't imagine our wedding without Jacqueline and the Little Black Book team. They anticipated so many needs and enabled us to truly enjoy our special day. They invested in understanding our vision and family and were incredibly helpful to our guests and our other vendors.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Lisa,

    Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It was truly an honor for me and the Little Black Book team to be a part of your special day. We were delighted to learn about your vision, your family, and what truly mattered to you. We are grateful for the trust you placed in us. Knowing that you and Tom were able to fully enjoy your wedding day means the world to us. We wish you both a lifetime filled with love, joy, and beautiful memories!

    Jacqueline Made Our Day Stress-Free

    We are so grateful we hired Jacqueline Johnson from Little Black Book Events as our wedding coordinator. From our very first meeting, she impressed us with how thorough, knowledgeable, and personable she was. Jacqueline made the planning process feel manageable and even enjoyable, especially for a couple like us who didn’t walk in knowing every detail we wanted. She answered every question with patience and clarity and offered thoughtful suggestions based on what she’d seen work well for other couples.

    Communication with Jacqueline was incredibly easy. Whether by phone, email, or text, she was consistently responsive and almost always available. Her reliability alone took an enormous weight off our shoulders.

    On the day of the wedding, Jacqueline was nothing short of exceptional. We didn’t have to think about a single detail because she handled everything behind the scenes with calm and confidence. She also has a strong understanding of family dynamics and the nuances of coordinating a wedding party. Most of the day is really about guiding people, and she did so effortlessly while keeping the focus on us and what we wanted.

    Hiring Jacqueline was one of the best decisions we made. She brought expertise, warmth, and professionalism to every step of the process, and our day was infinitely better because of her. We cannot recommend her highly enough. (And thank you, Jacqueline, for driving to Richmond to be at our in-person meeting with our venue before the big day AND to our home to drop off our wedding day decorations two days after our wedding—you truly go above and beyond!)

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Samantha,

    Thank you so much for taking the time to submit the review and for your kind words. I truly appreciate it! You and Aleks were a pleasure to work with. You truly made my job so much easier. I wish you all the best.

    Two Ceremonies, One Seamless Celebration

    My husband and I got married this past June and hired Little Black Book Events (LBBE) for their Wedding Day Management package to support both our Nigerian traditional ceremony and our American wedding. The package was incredibly flexible, allowing us to add à la carte services like help with hotel blocks, which was a huge plus.

    Our lead planner, Jacqueline, was phenomenal! She went above and beyond—hosting extended consultation calls to keep us on track, visiting our venues to finalize details, and regularly checking in to make sure all our bases were covered. Her knowledge of intercultural weddings was especially valuable. She handled everything with grace, from coordinating with our wedding party and parents to ensuring our guests felt cared for. Thanks to her, both events ran seamlessly.

    We also want to give a big shoutout to her assistant, Astrid, who was equally professional and a joy to work with.

    For the price and the exceptional quality of service, we wholeheartedly recommend LBBE!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words, Christina! It was an absolute joy and honor to support you, Tobi and your parents, with both your Nigerian and American wedding celebrations. I am so glad that the planning process felt smooth and that you felt truly cared for throughout. It was a beautiful and joy-filled weekend, and we loved being a part of it.

    Thank you for trusting Little Black Book Events (and me!) with your special weekend. We wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

    Best,
    Jacqueline

    Truly Amazing!

    We didn’t think we needed a wedding coordinator at first — how wrong we were! Vanessa was incredible from start to finish and made our wedding day go SO smoothly. Beforehand we were able to have the peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of! During the wedding day, we felt like we were being guided throughout the day without needing to stress at all! Thank you!!

    An incredible team!

    We worked with both Vanessa and Alycia at Little Black Book for partial planning and design services for our wedding. In addition to being absolute lifesavers in the days leading up to the wedding (and day of), they were real thought partners in helping visually design our wedding and help that plan come to life. They both really understood our vision and helped us find the style and vendors to help us achieve it.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words and the positive review. It was a pleasure working with you guys, and we were honored to be a part of your special day!

    HIre Vanessa - she is AMAZING!!!!!!!!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Vanessa. She is a wedding godsend. She is so organized, patient, creative, and thoughtful. She has seen everything and knows how to respond to everything. I strongly recommend hiring Vanessa and Little Black Book. We did event day management (which is really more like month management), and we LOVED working with Vanessa. She kept us completely on track with our planning. She helped execute our vision. And on top of it all, she's so nice! One of my bridesmaids had food poisoning on the day of the wedding, and Vanessa arranged for medicine and got her through the day. That was just one example of Vanessa's repeated excellence. Hire her!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Your notion board will go down in planning history!! It was so great working with you and Tim. It was an amazing day!!!

    Best Wedding Planner Ever

    Vanessa and her team are the real deal. Their vendor recommendations were so well tailored to us as a couple. I get the sense they were a pleasure for other vendors to work with. Vanessa is incredibly responsive and supportive. The only thing I would have done differently (and would encourage other type A people using any wedding planner to do) is get a bit clearer sense of their role vs mine/yours on things day of not pertaining to vendors, venue, and timing (ex. grabbing certain guests for pics). Vanessa made the day run smoothly on the vendor front, was skillful with family members, and navigated bumps with ease.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Talia - I'm so glad that you and Patrick had an amazing day! We were so happy to be able to support you both through the process and the wedding day.

    The best wedding planner! Worth every cent and more

    Vanessa and her team at LBB were exceptional and helped us bring our dream wedding to life flawlessly, with minimal stress and lots of joy. We hired Vanessa for full planning services and she was helpful in every part of the planning process, from providing options and input for every wedding vendor at the start of the process, to guiding us on what needed to be done when, to handling tasks like printing and purchasing wedding favors, to making our wedding day run smoothly. She was honest about timeline and budget questions we had while also providing options that aligned with our priorities for the day and kept us on track. Her value was immeasurable in the week of our wedding and the wedding day itself — Vanessa volunteered to handle anything that needed to be done as we were finalizing details and dealing with family, which was big in keeping our stress down. (That included things like getting my wedding dress steamed at a tailor last minute, printing and bringing all our printed materials like programs and menus, and taking all our things back from our wedding venue to our hotel after our wedding so we could go directly to our after party.) She was always flexible and made us feel reassured that everything was handled and running smoothly, because it was. We had a big wedding (250 people) and our guests, especially our families and wedding party, raved about how great and available she and her team were and how smoothly things ran. (Special shoutout to when we had a wedding crasher that my mom was worried about, Vanessa handled it with venue security calmly and confidently.) Vanessa is attentive, thoughtful, nice, and fun to work with, and all the vendors she recommended to us were equally high-quality and great to work with. Her wedding planning services were worth every cent and more. We recommend her without hesitation for any wedding or event.

    Perfect Day

    If you are looking for a planner or coordinator for your upcoming wedding, look no further than Alycia and Vanessa from Little Black Book. Not only were they patient, responsive, and helpful up to the day of, but they managed the wedding day flawlessly - leaving us to just enjoy the celebration and the friends and family who came from near and far. They were prepared for everything and never missed a beat, keeping everyone smiling along the way. We would hire them again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend them enough. Thank you Alycia and Vanessa for everything!!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    We are so happy that we got to help make your day perfect! You guys were a joy to work with and we wish you nothing but the best!!

    Aboslutely Amazing!

    Vanessa was recommended to us by a friend after another planner fell through. She was so so wonderful. Really kind and helpful and such a calming presence both before and during the wedding. We cannot recommend her enough!

    Mary, I'm so glad I was able to step in and get you guys across the finish line! It was such a wonderful wedding and I loved working with you and Raul. Wishing you all the best!

    Easily the Best Decision We Made

    Working with Jacqueline was the easiest part of our wedding planning, and was absolutely the best decision we made. If you are considering working with LBBB and on the fence regarding if you should use this service when all of wedding planning is so expensive, let me help you: this service is worth so much more to me for piece of mind and for catching issues early than the dollar amount you will spend for it. We met with Jacqueline several times in the early phases of planning, and more frequently as we approached the day of the event. Not only was she organized and helpful with reviewing our contracts and communication over email (she caught several potentially devastating schedule mistakes we had made and helped us fix them), but she was just so incredibly warm and supportive. As we got closer to our date, she handled much of our communication and checked in regularly by text or phone call. She is patient, she asked the right questions, she handled every detail on our big day and even advocated for us with vendors who did not deliver on their promises to smooth out details, and I did not even know it was occurring. Working with her is the best decision you can make!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for the review, Alyssa. I really appreciate it. It warmed my heart. It truly was a pleasure to journey with you during the planning of your incredibly wonderful wedding event. You, Tommy and your families were the best! Blessings and Shalom! 🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾

    Best Wedding Planner Ever. No Questions Asked.

    It was my partner and I’s absolute pleasure to work with Vanessa for our recent wedding, and we cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible job she did. From the initial consultation to the wedding day, Vanessa went above and beyond in every aspect. Vanessa met with us frequently in the months leading up to the wedding and made the planning process as least stressful as possible. When it came to the wedding day, Vanessa executed flawlessly. Despite having not physically seen the venue until the day prior, Vanessa had everything coordinated in a seamless fashion. She also did an incredible job managing the vendors and venue personnel. Every detail, from the decorations to the timing of events, was perfectly coordinated. The atmosphere she created was magical, and we were able to enjoy every moment without worrying about a single thing. We wholeheartedly recommend Vanessa and Little Black Book to anyone seeking a stress-free and enchanting wedding experience. Thank you, Vanessa and Little Black Book, for making our special day truly extraordinary!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Ah Matt! You and Ben are the best. The day turned out so well. I will always remember your last dance of the night. So epic! So glad I got to work with you both.

    Organized planner that makes your wedding day easy!

    Vanessa was such an incredible planner and coordinator that thought of everything to make our special day go smoothly. She was able to ease my stress throughout the entire process. On the weekend of the wedding, she handled several last minute situations with professionalism and organization. I didn't have to worry about anything! I highly recommend Vanessa and her team for all your wedding planning and coordinating needs. She is incredible as well as cost effective!

    Vanessa is THE BEST!

    I don't even know where to start! I can't say enough about how amazing Vanessa and her team were to work with. Our wedding was 10000x more amazing and that is a HUGE thank you to LBB!

    Vanessa took time to get to know my husband and I so that she could get a sense of us individually and as a couple.

    To this day, whenever people talk about how stressful wedding planning is, I feel guilty because I never felt that stress. Vanessa established trust early into meeting us and I trusted her to take our wedding vision and elevate it.

    Of all of the decisions we made throughout the wedding process, hiring Vanessa was by far the best. Could go on and on.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Everything turned out so beautifully! I absolutely loved working with you, Mike, and your families...who were so amazing. I'm so glad that it was a great process and you had a great day.

    Exceptional, bespoke service

    Vanessa is the best in the business. We had a nontraditional event – we're gay, we had already eloped and we just wanted to have an intimate, meaningful party with friends and family. Vanessa took that scope and ran with it, making the run up to the event a breeze for us. She recommended vendors and made the venue look spectacular, never once pushing us into something that wasn't the right fit for us. You can't do better if you're looking for wedding help.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    I loved working with you both and am so happy that it was such a fabulous, fun, and easy-breezy day! You looked amazing for an amazing day. Thank you for choosing to work with us.

    Vaness made our wedding perfect!

    The only regret of my wedding is only using Vanessa as a day of coordinator! I wish I had hired her to plan everything from start to finish. She helped keep us organized, set the venue up beautifully, and calmly handled any issues that occurred. She also went above and beyond! When our pizza order for the after party got messed up, she ran out to get pizza so our guests had a snack after a night of dancing! If you are looking for a wedding coordinator Vanessa is your girl.

    Vanessa Is Awesome

    Vanessa Young and her team at Little Black Book are excellent, and we couldn't be more grateful to have had Vanessa's help planning and coordinating our wedding! She made everything feel stress free (which is saying something, coming from this Type-A person), and she always had constructive suggestions for how to make our ideas work. Our wedding was the best day ever, and it was in no small part thanks to Vanessa.

    Amazing Day-Of Coordinator!

    We worked with Jacqueline and LBB Events to do the day-of coordination for our wedding with two locations. Jacqueline was a calm, knowledgeable presence throughout the day and made everything easier! She went above and beyond to help get people and things where they needed to be. Could not have done it without her!

    The best decision we made in wedding planning

    Hiring Little Black Book was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. From the very beginning, Vanessa made planning and dealing with ever-fluctuating guest counts, tastes, and ideas seamless and easy. She rolled with the punches and made sure that on our wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. If you’re looking for a partner to plan your wedding who will be able to turn your vision into reality, Little Black Book is that partner - they will go above and beyond, while not forgetting those little touches that make your big day special.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    It was such a pleasure working with you and Emily on your day. I'm so glad it turned out as beautiful as the two of you looked! And what a fabulous party! Definitely one for the books. 😁

    Daughters wedding was a complete joy because of Jacqueline Johnson

    Professional, thorough, delightful personality !
    Our daughters wedding was a complete joy filled day that ran so smoothly because of Jacqueline and Gina. Jacqueline Johnson was so thorough leading up to the wedding day and during the wedding, that our daughters wedding was completely enjoyable. We never had a concern, to think we thought we may not need a wedding planner for 270 people is almost laughable in hind sight. They handled things so well and handled more than we even knew. Everything went according to plan. Jacqueline listens and hears what’s important to you. She’s thoughtful and considerate. So thankful we met and had Jacqueline as our wedding planner. She’s a delight in every way !

    Don't hesitate to book Vanessa!

    We used Vanessa's month of coordination service and couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. She was kind enough to have a couple of short consultations with us even before the one-month period began, and was very flexible in the times she was able to meet virtually.

    She took care of a lot of the nitty-gritty details like making sure vendors were aware of venue rules, and going through contracts. Naturally, she thinks of all the things you don't think of and everything was absolutely seamless on our wedding day.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    I'm so glad you and Ben had a wonderful day! Handling all the details is what we do best and you guys were so easy to work with. Both you and the day were lovely!

    Amazing experience!!!

    Hiring Vanessa as our day of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for wedding planning. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect, both leading up to the event, during the event, and after. She is both calm and assertive, and overall just super effective and awesome!! We are so grateful we came across LBB.

    Top Tier Wedding Planner

    Vanessa and her team are superstars. We hired Little Black Book (LBB) for our wedding and they exceeded all of our expectations. Starting on day one, Vanessa told us that she would take the stress out of wedding planning and she did exactly that. She is a masterful professional who brings deep experience and passion for planning events. She worked with all of our vendors and had a very coordinated schedule for day-of activities. This was a huge relief as we had many moving parts to our wedding, but she managed to make all of those details feel more manageable. She and Hannah were indispensable for the wedding rehearsal and day of, which helped us enjoy our special day even more. We highly recommend hiring Vanessa and LBB for your wedding or any other special event.

    Hi Emily and Damani!! I'm so glad you were happy with how everything turned out. It was a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple!

    Best decision we made

    Can't say enough wonderful things about Vanessa and Little Black Book. From the very first meeting, Vanessa completely put me at ease. Her calm professionalism instantly told me I was in good hands, and, unlike some other planners I talked to, she helped me think through logistics without stressing me out. I hired her for Day-of-Coordination, but she was helpful throughout the process. After our first meeting, she gave me an excellent, personalized set of recommendations for vendors (all of whom were fabulous). As my planning continued, she was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. In the last month, she flawlessly coordinated with vendors, asked good questions at the walk-through, and helped keep me organized. On the day of my wedding, Vanessa and her team made sure everything went off without a hitch, and the day was absolutely perfect. Hiring her early on in the process was the best decision we made!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Rachel!! Thank you so much for this wonderful review. You were sooo easy to work with and so organized! I'm so glad that you and Tony had a day as amazing as you both looked!

    Working with LBB is the smartest decision you will make.

    You can stop searching now. You have found the best possible coordinator. Hire her.

    We hired Vanessa for her "month of" services, and it was genuinely the best choice we made in the entire planning process. She is ridiculously smart, capable, flexible, endlessly creative, and indefatigable. She seamlessly took over coordination with vendors and handled messes major and minor in the lead up to the event. On the day of the wedding, we genuinely didn't have to think about a thing other than enjoying the day—something made far easier because Vanessa kept us fed, watered, and happy. You will not regret working with her for a second.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Sam thank you so much for those kinds words! I really enjoyed working with you and Alex and I'm so glad we were able to take care of things so you could FINALLY enjoy your long-awaited wedding day!

    Go with Little Black Book Events. Jacqueline was amazing!!

    My husband and I planned our entire wedding. We decided to get a day of coordinator to handle things on the actual wedding day. Four weeks before the wedding, we reached out to a couple of planners. After talking to Jacqueline we felt she was a perfect match. We are so happy we went with her. She is so patient and very knowledgeable. We had an issue with the florist last minute changing the delivery times to an earlier time. Jacqueline knew exactly how to handle it. She really made it possible for us to enjoy our special day. Guests even complimented on how well she handled everything. Go with Little Black Book Events. You will not be disappointed.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Wow! Thank you so much for your kind review, Anne Maria. You and Robert made my job easier. It was a pleasure working with you on your wedding day to make it a memorable event, for you and your guests. We at Little Black Book Events appreciate the vote of confidence. Congratulations again and much blessings in your marriage. ~ Jacqueline

    10/10, 1,000% would recommend

    I don't even know where to start with this review - we hired Vanessa for her full planning services, and she was just a dream to work with. My husband and I got engaged in 2019 and planned to have our wedding in summer 2020, but COVID had other plans. Vanessa helped us navigate two years of uncertainty from our engagement to our wedding in July 2021. She saw us through multiple reschedules and almost-reschedules and barely broke a sweat. The stress of having to manage rescheduling and that many vendors alone would have brought me to tears, but Vanessa had it handled! There was a lot of stress and uncertainty that came with the pandemic but I can honestly say that my wedding wasn't one of them - she was so communicative and flexible that we always felt like she had things under control.

    A few highlights from working with her:
    1. She helped us pick all of our vendors, from cake, to DJ, photographer, and all of her recs were spot on. If we didn't like a set of options she provided, she was always willing to come back with more until we found something we were happy with.
    2. She went above and beyond consistently. I forgot my afterparty shoes in my hotel room and she even went to pick them up for me and brought them to the party! She was also like the Mary Poppins of weddings the day of - I managed to forget my steamer at the hotel for my dress change and was panicking in the bridal suite, and she just made an extra steamer appear out of nowhere. I don't know how she does it!
    3. She was a master communicator, juggling details and all the moving pieces between my husband and I, our venue, vendors, and even family members. The sheer number of emails with important but tiny details she managed that I would have dropped the ball on...very impressive.
    4. She was also great at helping us realize our vision of what we wanted. We needed to find a way to blend a religious Jewish ceremony that also incorporated aspects of west African culture, so it wasn't the most straightforward wedding, but Vanessa was more than up to the challenge.

    I can't recommend her enough, our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Vanessa to make it happen!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Aissata!!! Thank you for this wonderful review. Wedding planing is tough under the very best of circumstances so I'm glad I was able to support you and Benjy over the past couple of years through this process. I think your vision came together beautifully and it was a wonderful day...and you both looked fabulous! I'm so glad that all of it was worth it in the end!!!

    We strongly recommend Vanessa and LBB!

    We hired Little Black Book for “day-of coordination”, and Vanessa supported us immensely both on the day of our wedding and in the weeks leading up to it. We are very glad we hired LBB, and we strongly recommend Vanessa and LBB!

    We planned a 30-person wedding, which turned out to be almost as much work as planning a larger wedding. Having Vanessa by our side made the process much smoother and less stressful. Vanessa helped us tremendously with vendor communication, working through decisions we were having trouble with, and countless small things that we would have just missed without her. On the day of our wedding, Vanessa was an effective manager and a comforting presence -- she juggled egos and unexpected hiccups, from vendor arrival through party clean-up. A bunch of last-minute issues came up with both of us (bride and groom), and we just told Vanessa what was happening and she took care of them with a confident smile.

    One thing that deserves special mention is that one of the pieces Vanessa took on was laying out our reception flowers and candles. Vanessa supported us in our decision to go with a not-full-service florist while allowing us and our guests to stay out of table set-up duty. Vanessa knocked it out of the park -- the tablescape was ridiculously picturesque and wound up being maybe the closest element of our wedding to our pinterest-instagram visioning.

    We feel confident Vanessa would be great for any wedding, but we have a special note to our Jewish sisters and brothers: Vanessa was on point for all the Jewish rituals. From tisch to ketubah to yichud, Vanessa knows what’s up.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Wow! What an amazing review! Thank you so much for trusting me to execute on your day. It was so lovely working with you both. Your kind spirits were reflecting in your guests and in everything about the day. Thanks for making it so easy to work with you! Wish you all the best!

    Awesome Experience

    I hired Vanessa to manage the day of the wedding and coordinate vendors leading up to the day. Bad weather on the day of the wedding moved it from an outdoor ceremony to indoors. Although it wasn't what we had planned, the ceremony in front of the fireplace was perfect indoors. Vanessa coordinated all of the changes smoothly while we enjoyed the day celebrating with family and friends. I highly recommend Vanessa as your wedding planner. If you want to have a carefree beautiful day, hire Vanessa.

    Vanessa was amazing!!!!

    Vanessa was absolutely amazing!! I was looking for a wedding planner that was local to where we were getting married (DC area) since we lived in PA. I interviewed a few planners and Vanessa seemed professional, knowledgeable, organized and very calm. From the beginning she was very reachable, timely in responding to me, extremely organized and on top of all the details. She let me handle the details I wanted to and took care of all the things I didn't want to deal with myself. A little over a month before the wedding my reception venue canceled due to COVID and Vanessa was calm, reassuring and confident in the hours following assuring me we would find a solution and then she set out helping me find a new venue - a venue that turned out to be even better than what we originally had planned. The weeks leading up to the wedding she made sure we had every detail covered and having her made it so that the days leading up to the wedding I could relax and simply enjoy my time with friends and family. The day of while waiting to get ready I had several guests tell me I was the calmest bride they ever seen and that in large part was because I had Vanessa and I knew she had everything in order. During the wedding and reception she was attentive but gave me space to simply enjoy the day. She was always professional, always calm, always understanding and I highly highly recommend her - you and your wedding day will be thankful that you hired her!

    Best Decision!

    From start to finish LBB was PERFECT! We had heard of their services and I called her the day after we got engaged. She met with me on a Sunday night and immediately helped me plan next steps and make a play-by-play agenda for planning, which was important to me as a bride. Every step of the way Vanessa was there to not only remind me of pending deadlines, but to stay on track with my budget and also to keep me sane. On the day of she kept me calm and on schedule and if I ever get married again (lets hope not!) I would definitely use her again!

    A perfect wedding organized by the best planner

    In terms of our wedding, Vanessa at Little Black Books was the best decision that my husband and I made (second only to marrying each other!). We were supposed to get married in May of 2020 and wound up married in August of 2020, and I never felt the need to panic because I knew Vanessa had it all under control. In countless instances, Vanessa used her incredibly calming, rational presence to help us work through the difficult challenges of getting married during a pandemic. She is fabulous with logistics, brilliant at thinking of things to make the event that much better (drink covers when you're getting married in a pandemic, a reusable straw the morning of the wedding so your lipstick doesn't get everywhere!), and a real joy to work with. Hire her. It will be your best wedding planning decision--and the rest, she'll handle.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Grace & David - You will always have a special place in my heart as my first "COIVD" wedding. I know it wasn't an easy process, dealing with the numerous curveballs thrown your way. But in the end, the day was amazing and reflected the two of you beautifully. I am so incredibly happy for you and am grateful I got to know the two of you!

    Vanessa made our wedding so easy!

    We were about halfway through planning our wedding when we reached out to Vanessa, and all we can say is that we wish we had contacted her sooner! Her professionalism, efficiency and knowledge made bringing our wedding together so much easier than it could have been. Vanessa was patient and understanding when we ran into obstacles, and quick with ideas that helped us save time and money. She stayed with us every step of the way, and made our wedding an incredible day. She is very responsive and creative. If you’re looking for help planning and pulling together your wedding, we can’t recommend Vanessa enough.

    Vanessa helped make our wedding the experience we wanted it to be

    Vanessa was amazing! We had a fairly large wedding (250 people) and we had a lot of moving parts. My now wife and I wanted to make this wedding feel like "ours", and Vanessa was in-step with us the entire time providing really great feedback and advice. Going into the week of and weekend of our wedding, there were definitely some things my wife and i had meant to do but hadn't gotten around to doing them. Vanessa and her team stepped-up to the plate and made sure our wedding day was an amazing time. She was also so incredibly supportive day-of the wedding--despite having so much to coordinate and do (many of which I'm probably not even aware of myself), she consistently checked-in with us to make sure we were doing ok. I would highly recommend!!!!

    Jacqueline and LBB gave us the Perfect wedding!!

    We got engaged in early September 2018 and decided that we wanted a New Year's Eve brunch wedding in just 4 months! We spent almost every free moment planning the wedding together, locking down the big stuff: venue, dress, guest list, etc.. We were really enjoying collaborating and working together, but two months into our 4 month timeline we realized that we needed some help, especially for the final push. We did our research for planners, narrowed down the list, and interviewed the planners at the top of our list. We immediately connected with Jacqueline - her extensive experience and calm demeanor, so we decided to go with LBB!

    We were less than 60 days out from our wedding date and we still needed to come up with a design/décor plan including floral and rentals and several other final touches, which included finding and booking our officiant (who was a referral from Jacqueline). So we ended up booking the “month of” planner services plus design to get us to the finish line. There were endless meetings and phone calls and small decisions that needed to be made before our big day. Plus, we wanted to enjoy our wedding day and we were looking for someone to handle everything on that day…every phone call, text, confirmation, question, issues, etc.

    Jacqueline and her small team were incredible! The final product was amazing and the day of our wedding, we noticed all sorts of small surprises and details that LBB managed to incorporate. Our wedding was the most enjoyable day of our lives so far. We are so happy we were able to work with her and we heartily recommend Jacqueline and Little Black Book for wedding planning and wedding day execution.

    It's taken us exactly a year to get this review written because life has come at us fast! But even a year later, we still appreciate the incredible care we received for such an important day.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    It was a pleasure working with Max and Ashley. They had a specific vision for their wedding event and we were honored to help them bring it to fruition. We’ll take this caliber of review any day. Happy Anniversary!!!

    One of our best decisions

    Hiring Vanessa was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process! Our attitude going in to planning was that we wanted to spend the wedding day enjoying our day, not worrying about the details, and Vanessa pulled this off flawlessly. From our initial consultations, to recommending vendors, to actually managing the day, she was so helpful and positive and fun to have helping us through the planning process. She kept us sane and made sure everything ran smoothly.

    Vanessa made sure our wedding weekend was perfect!

    Vanessa was absolutely amazing and made our wedding run perfectly! We hired her for day-of coordination and she was in tune to all of our plans for the big day from the first minute we met her. It was so much more than just the "day of!" She made sure that the whole weekend was stress-free and impeccably planned! It was great to have someone who really listened to us and seemed to know exactly how to bring our ideas to life. We highly recommend working with LBB!

    Vanessa is a joy to work with!

    Vanessa was fantastic to work with! We hired her for day of wedding services and she made our day stress free. We met with Vanessa a couple of times before our big day and she was happy to send over recommendations for vendors and point us in the right direction. The day of everything moved smoothly and we didn't feel the need to follow up with Vanessa once. She had everything under control and exactly how we had envisioned/expected. It was almost like she wasn't there (in the best way possible :))!!

    LBB is the best!

    Choosing to work with Vanessa of LBB as a day-of planner was the best decision! Her services went beyond just the day of to help recommend vendors, create a timeline, and be available to answer any questions we had.

    Wonderful!!

    Where do we begin? Meeting Vanessa and Little Black Book was like a breath of fresh air. Coming off the heels of a terrible planner, we had honestly been scarred of planners but we knew that we needed the help. She was referred to us and when we met her we knew immediately that we were making the right decision. Vanessa has this keen sense for detail a great style a wonderful understanding and to be quite frank she knows what she is doing. It’s a lot of people out here who call themselves planners, But they are not they don’t care about what your needs are and they don’t have a great way of execution. Vanessa has great ideas but she does not push or impose her own things. She does make suggestions but leaves it to you! She delivers what you want and more. My wedding was a vision but she made it more of a dream that I never knew I had she exceeded my husband and my expectations. When there was conflict she handled it when they were issues with the vendors she handled it. Anything and everything that I needed positive or negative she was able to take care of it all. Everyone thinks they’re a planner but they are not they don’t care about what your needs are and they don’t have a great way of execution. Vanessa has great ideas she delivers what you want and more.
    Oh and she has a HUGE roladex of vendors and is able to make a budget work! She communicates very well! She is just amazing! I’d recommend little black book to anyone for any event!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Oh wow! Thank you so much for those words Adell. This is exactly how we want our clients to feel...like we were able to bring their vision to life. So glad that we could do that for you and Mike. You are such a special couple. It was one of the most fun weddings I have!

    Great Team!

    Vanessa and her team were outstanding! We had a large Indian wedding with around 300 guests. Vanessa was efficient and kept the day moving without any glitches. She also had a calm demeanor throughout our wedding process and the day of the event, which was greatly appreciated. I couldn't recommend her services enough!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Thank you Amy! We are so glad we were able to help you and your guests have a smooth and enjoyable day!

    Huge help!

    We worked with Jacqueline, and she was really great! She helped us for hte month up to the wedding, and created a day-of timeline for us. It was also really helpful to have her review all of our contracts and make sure we weren't missing anything before or after our wedding. She was a really steady presence for us and helped everyone stay calm (including my mom, which is a challenge!) I would highly recommend LBB and Jacqueline!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Thank you for your review and recommendation Kate. It was a joy planning with you, Will and Susan. All the best!

    Perfection!

    Vanessa was a huge help from the very beginning, even when we had a few obstacles she was right there guiding us through. She was very flexible too! We are so happy we decided to hire her to help us through such a crazy and overwhelming process, she knows the ropes so we were able to just relax. Thank you Vanessa!!!

    Definitely worth it!

    Vanessa was a really excellent day of coordinator for our early May wedding! As a bride to be I was a little nervous with the few weeks leading up to the wedding and Vanessa was so accommodating and patient with me. She answered my emails/texts promptly and was always very pleasant to work with. On the day of the wedding, everything went very smoothly all thanks to Vanessa in the background making it all come together! We had an amazing, unforgettable wedding and it was all due to Vanessa's help.

    I got really lucky with finding Vanessa!!! She is worth the money.

    On The Ball!!!

    Vanessa and Little Black Book Events seamlessly transitioned into the role of our day-of coordinator. She was responsive, showed initiative, and demonstrated her expertise in attention to detail. Many of our guests lauded our wedding as the best they had ever been to. We highly recommend her for your wedding and other events!

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Your wedding was pretty awesome. :) Thank you so much for the kind words. Your bridal party ceremony entrance was hands down the best I have ever witnessed! Thank you for letting me play a small part in your special day.

    Best Money We Ever Spent

    Wow, where can I even begin? Vanessa was the best money my wife (!!) and I have ever spent. Backstory- we’re both physicians who got engaged 4.5 years before our wedding and waited 3 years to start planning because we are busy, lazy, and had only very vague visions when it came to planning. Vanessa came along and not only did she make our dreams come true, she turned them from very blurry, nonspecific dreams into clear, perfect reality.

    She is extremely organized: we told her at the beginning that we wouldn’t be good at keeping on task, what with our busy schedules. She kept us on task and everything was always done on time, in spite of us often dragging our feet or having limited availability. This was often because:

    She goes above and beyond. She would run to the marriage license bureau for us, pick up all the alcohol for us, return the leftovers, and a bunch of other things that I can’t remember because Vanessa just took care of it. She clearly worked nights and weekends for us, which as doctors, we can appreciate.

    She was super flexible: she met us wherever, whenever. She was ok with Venmo for lots of things which made things super easy. When we would decline the first set of options (venue, photo/video, flowers), she would look for more and not make us feel bad/guilty about it.

    She is a great person: Vanessa really became our friend in this process. When other people stressed us out about not knowing our colors yet, etc, she reassured us. On the day of the wedding, she ran a smooth, but tight ship. Our photographer and videographer said she was the best wedding planner THEY’D ever worked with- she kept them updated as to the schedule because she knew photos and video were important to us, which our photo/video people said not all wedding planners do. All of our families loved her.

    We really gave Vanessa very little in the way of direction or help, and she still gave us our dream wedding. At the end of the night, I (half) jokingly thanked her for letting us attend her wedding. In short, I could not recommend a better wedding planner in this life or the next. I’m almost regretting writing this review since we are actively handing out Vanessa’s info to everyone we know getting married and I want her to be available on their dates. She really is the best.

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Oh my goodness!!! I told you not to make me cry! It was great getting to know you both during the planning process. Thank you for trusting me to make it happen. Seeing the two of you totally in your element on your wedding day was the best thing ever!

    Can’t Say Enough Good Things!

    Hiring a wedding planner (or day-of-coordinator) is THE most important decision you can make, and you cannot make a better choice than Vanessa of Little Black Book events! When people tell me how perfect my wedding was, I know it was all thank to her professionalism, experience, amazing network of vendors, creativity, and calmness. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Vanessa and Little Black Book events. Thanks for executing my my absolute dream wedding! My fairytale became reality...

    Little Black Book Events's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words Heather. It was such a pleasure helping you and Bryan create the perfect day. You looked GORGEOUS! And your old-school hip-hop loving crowd was the best!

    Wedding in 2 Weeks!

    I reached out to Little Black Book Events to book my small wedding. The added element was that we wanted to have it in two weeks from our call. Vanessa was more than up for the challenge. She got to work with finding a venue and vendors to make our day special. She kept me in the loop throughout the entire process and thought of things that we had missed. My wedding guests were so surprised to learn we planned the wedding with such short notice and so organized. The florist she suggested exceeded my expectations with my bouquet, and officiant was personable and very realistic for marriage values.
    I will definitely call on Vanessa and LBB Events when I am planning future events.

    An amazing organizer who can adapt to meet any challenge!

    Vanessa is an incredibly organized and professional coordinator, and working with her was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She can handle any curve ball thrown at you before or during your big day, and she will handle those situations with tact and grace. She allowed my wife and I to have a truly unforgettable experience on our wedding day, free from the stress of worrying about vendors, decorations, gifts and keeping to our timeline. Most importantly, she will work with you months in advance to nail down all the details of your wedding day and ensure that nothing is overlooked. In short, Vanessa was invaluable to us and I'm certain she'll be invaluable to you.

    Best money we spent

    Working with Vanessa at Little Black Book Events was the best decision we made during the entire wedding process. Vanessa was our day of coordinator, and I have said time and time again that hiring her was the best money we spent on the wedding. Initially, we weren’t going to hire a day of coordinator, but after hearing many times how much easier it made the day, we looked into it.

    We found Vanessa through a recommendation from our wedding venue. After meeting her for coffee, we knew she was a great fit. Vanessa is so easy to work with. She is professional, easy going, but gets so much. I found her particularly helpful because I was the first of my friends to get married, and was completely uneducated about the smaller details of a wedding. Vanessa was able to answer all of our questions about the process, gave us creative ideas to personalize the day, and served as a wealth of knowledge.

    Closer to the day, Vanessa gathered all of our vendor contracts and reached out about arrival times and other organizational details. She served as the point of contact for all of these people which was unbelievably helpful. On the day, Vanessa did all the behind the scenes work to make sure the day went off without a hitch. If we had any kind of issue, we were able to tell Vanessa about it and it was taken care of. Having Vanessa there lowered the stress level, and allowed everyone to concentrate on enjoying themselves. If she hadn’t been there we would have been consumed by all the small things that no one ever tells you about. From making sure the DJ is set up in the correct place, to setting up the welcome table, Vanessa saved us time and memories. If we didn’t have Vanessa, those smaller details would have rested with me or my mother. Instead, we were able to enjoy the day as a celebration, not a checklist of tasks to get done. My mom still comments that she wishes she could have a Vanessa in everyday life. Hiring Vanessa was by far the best investment we made on the wedding, and I could not recommend her enough.

    Vanessa was amazing -- would highly recommend her to everyone!!

    Vanessa did a fantastic job as our day-of coordinator for our wedding and her price was so reasonable compared to some of the other coordinators we had contacted for quotes! She was incredibly responsive during the planning stages when we had small questions, and always had great suggestions and was so helpful in finalizing all the details for the celebration. During the wedding she was great and handled everything without a hitch, so I didn’t have to worry about anything! There were so many moving parts and things to coordinate, and she handled it all flawlessly without hesitation. We couldn’t have done it without her, and would highly recommend her services to anyone. Thank you so much, Vanessa, for helping us have a fantastic and perfectly-run celebration!

    Vanessa is AMAZING!!

    Vanessa was amazing! She took so much stress off of my plate and went above and beyond to do things that a typical coordinator wouldn't do. I walked into my wedding, and everything was beautiful. She set-up the ceremony space, our after reception small bites, and our welcome table. After the wedding, she broke everything down, packed it into her car, and dropped it off to me. She was a dream!

    We hired Vanessa from Little Black Book Event Services as our day-of wedding coordinator. She went absolutely above and beyond what we expected: her personality is what we needed to relieve stress, her creative ideas were spot on and matched our vision and theme, her professionalism was top notch, her organizational skills were beyond reproach. In short, we can't thank Vanessa enough for everything she did on our wedding day; an absolute must hire and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER SERVICES!

    We could not be happier with our services from Little Black Book!! Vanessa was my day of wedding coordinator and she went above and beyond with her services. She helped me before the wedding to make sure I took care of every detail and she personally helped me with the stress that comes with wedding planning! Vanessa is extremely friendly and professional and I can honestly say that my wedding wouldn't have been as successful without her. I highly recommend her to any bride that needs support with wedding planning!!!

    Vanessa was recommended to us by our venue and hiring her as our wedding coordinate was definitely one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process! Vanessa helped keep us on track but also reminded us that we were doing great with planning and kept our nerves calm during the weeks leading up to our wedding. She was always easy to get a hold of and the night before the wedding was quick to respond to our texts about last minute things. She kept everything running smoothly on the day of--everything that we had discussed she took care of and made it so that my husband and I didn't have to even think about a number of things.

    Working with LBB and Vanessa was truly one of our best decisions. I am so pleased with her level of service, responsiveness, and flexibility. We booked her for "day-of" services, which actually began weeks before our event with two in person meetings, several phone calls, texts, and emails along the way. She also attended our final walk through with the venue and our rehearsal to see exactly what we envisioned, and she executed our plan perfectly - even with some iffy weather in the forecast!! Vanessa was GREAT and I truly recommend her to any bride!!

    There is no way I could have pulled of IN FOUR MONTHS a two-day, multicultural, out of state, wedding without Vanessa! She was organized, kept everything on schedule so there were no hiccups, was able to refer vendors, and was super responsive! Bringing Vanessa on-board was one of the best decisions I made about the wedding.

    I can't say enough about how helpful Vanessa was on my daughter's wedding day. Vanessa made it possible for my husband and I, as well as the bride and groom, to completely enjoy the wedding day. Vanessa took care of all the vendor coordination from set-up through each step of the event timeline, and through the last detail of clean-up. She made sure the toasts, dances, cake cutting and all the rest happened when they were supposed to, and was available to trouble shoot when needed. Vanessa met with us early in the planning process and was available for basic questions as we proceeded with planning though she was hired as our "Day Of Coordinator." She developed a highly detailed event timeline for the event which was invaluable. Always calm, cheerful and professional, I couldn't have asked for more.

    When my now wife and I set out to plan our wedding, we were one of those couples who thought hiring a planner was unnecessary. We had 6 months to pull it off. We fancy ourselves as reasonably intelligent and financially responsible people and we thought that was plenty of time.

    Fast forward 4 months. The stress began to mount and panic had set in. We broke down and decided to hire a day-of coordinator. Better late than never, but who do we call? Every one we spoke to was either too expensive or not the right fit for us. Thanks to Thumbtack, we found Vanessa. We are incredibly happy we did and we couldn't have pulled off our awesome wedding without her. Here's just a few of the reasons why:

    1) Attitude - She has the PERFECT demeanor for event planning. She kept us on track, but was never pushy. Very personable and easy to talk to. Every time we spoke to her we felt both at ease and motivated to check more off of our list

    2) Creativity - Simply put she has great ideas. Whether it was decor, logistics, floor planning, etc., she listened to our inputs (which weren't always in lockstep - welcome to married life) but put here own spin on things. Our wedding was weeks ago and we still are getting comments on how beautiful everything was.

    3) Contacts - Vanessa made great recommendations for vendors, In fact, we had one vendor who was somewhat flaky that we had already booked. She was able to line up a "just in case" vendor for us.

    4) Organization - Nothing fell through the cracks and she thought of small details we didn't have the capacity to (because we were too busy being crazy pants).

    5) Value - She is worth every penny and I would argue she is a bargain for the service she provides. This is especially in comparison to other planners out there.

    If you need help planning an event, not just a wedding, we highly suggest you reach out to Vanessa @ Little Black Book! You won't regret it!

    Vanessa and Little Black Book Events were terrific! In the months leading up to our wedding, Vanessa offered invaluable advice on everything from vendor pricing to decorations to timelines. We had a fairly large wedding (160-180) with events spread over 4 days in two locations in Vermont. Having Vanessa present throughout the weekend to coordinate vendors and problem solve behind the scenes helped eliminate so much stress! We had an outdoor wedding and it rained all day,, but Vanessa stayed calm and worked with our families to ensure we still had a wonderful ceremony.
    We planned for months, but once the weekend arrived, there were still hundreds of things to do and not enough time to do them. We started handing off things to Vanessa so we could be present and enjoy our family and friends. Having witnessed her professionalism and experience, we trusted her completely to execute and she did not disappoint. We highly recommend Little Black Book Events for your wedding or other important celebrations.

    Vanessa was an absolute godsend and we could not have gotten through the day without here. Though my husband and I were determined to DIY everything for outlet wedding, we later realized we needed someone to tie everything together and keep things moving on the day of. She coordinated with all of our vendors ahead of time, and participated in the wedding rehearsal. On the day of the wedding, a makeup emergency put us about 30 minutes behind schedule. Despite our panic, Vanessa kept everything calmed and controlled and got us all caught up. We absolutely could not have done this without her and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a wedding coordinator!

    Vanessa did a wonderful job as our day of coordinator. She really cared about us as a couple. With a 200-person wedding, we needed support in pulling off our big day. Vanessa was accessible and creative as we thought about our theme. She even let us borrow some of her decorations to make our day complete. As we got to the wedding day, she confirmed all the vendors, working with them to ensure a seamless experience. She made sure that we had the perfect reception and send off, especially with our tight timeline. I highly recommend her for any of your wedding planning needs.

    We worked with Vanessa of Little Black Book for our recent event and she was great! She was quick to respond during the planning process, arrived on time, and worked with our other vendors nicely. Vanessa has an eye for detail and really knows how to work an event space to make sure everything runs seamlessly! She was such a pleasure to work with! We highly recommend her for any event!

    Vanessa was a wonderful wedding coordinator. She was extremely helpful, responsive to all of our needs and requests, and made great suggestions as well. She also took it upon herself to coordinate some of the decorations for the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception when I was busy during the timeline of the day, and I couldn't thank her more for that! The day was perfect and Vanessa had a great part in that.

    Little Black Book Events did a wonderful job planning my bridal shower and bachelorette party. I really felt that Vanessa listened to and heard what I did and didn't want and designed parties that were perfect for me. They were elegant, classy, and fun! All of the guests had a wonderful time. I would absolutely use Little Black Book Events to plan a party in the future!

    Little Black Book really helped my event come together in a seamless manner. I couldn't have enjoyed my wedding like I did without Vanessa. I highly recommend Little Black Book Event Services for anyone planning a wedding or event!

    We had done a lot of the planning ourselves, but several weeks before the wedding we thought it would be a good idea to get a day-of planner. Hiring Vanessa Young at Little Black Book Events is one of the best decisions we made.

    Vanessa is fantastic. At our first meeting, she opened our eyes to lots of details we had not considered and picked right up with coordinating our vendors after signing on. After another meeting, a phone call and tons of emails -- we were all set. Vanessa handled all the details on the big day and put us completely at ease. She was organized and in control without being bossy or uptight. Our other vendors said it was very easy working with her. She gave us the comfort we needed to let go of the details and enjoy the wedding.

    As a bonus, she found us a designer 10 days before the wedding to handle printing the programs at a good price.

    Hire Vanessa Young and you won't regret it. She made our lives, and our wedding, much easier.

    Vanessa was absolutely fantastic to work with. She picked up on our style and preferences from the very beginning and ensured everything went off without a hitch. She had great ideas for items we were deciding between (as well as vendor recommendations!), and thought of all the things we did not. Can't recommend her highly enough!

    Vanessa Young was our wedding planner for our daughter Meghan and Matt's wedding on Thursday, September 24, 2015. We could not ask for a better person to take care of this cherished memory. Vanessa was professional and personable, giving us much guidance the entire planning of this wedding. Everything went beautifully down to the tiniest detail with Vanessa's guidance and care. My only regret is that I have is that Meghan is our last daughter to get married. Wish we had known of RSVP, Vanessa and Jamie for our other daughter! Jamie's recommendations of all the other vendors were outstanding. We could not be more pleased.
    Thank You, Sincerely, Jim and Bonnie Spring

    We hired LBB for "day-of" wedding planning services, and it was one of the best wedding-related decisions that we made. Vanessa (the owner) and her assistant were an integral part of our wedding day. I am an extremely organized person, and didn’t know if I needed "day-of" planning help. Thankfully, my parents encouraged me to look into it, and I ended up choosing LBB because of Vanessa's great attitude and her reasonable prices. In the end, she did everything possible to make our wedding day seamless and enjoyable, and I can’t thank her enough.

    We started working with Vanessa a month before the wedding, and she asked all the right questions to make sure that every detail was in place (including providing several small things we hadn't thought of like a card box and cake cutter). On the day of the wedding, Vanessa and her assistant really went above-and-beyond to make sure everything came together seamlessly. For example, they made multiple trips to the florist to ensure our flowers were as fresh as possible. They set up the venue exactly as I requested. Throughout the reception, they were there for anything we needed, including getting us our favorite appetizers, helping with schedule changes, and even getting the temperature turned down when we all got too hot from dancing. At the end of the reception, my husband and I were able to go to the afterparty, while Vanessa stayed behind to cleanup everything up. She even brought our wedding decorations and catering leftovers back to our apartment that night!

    It was great to be able to rely on Vanessa, and know that all of my plans would be executed to perfection even if I wasn’t there to do it myself. I spent so long planning the wedding, and if it weren’t for Vanessa, I think I would have spent the entire day worried about logistics. Your wedding day will be more hectic than you expect, so do yourself a favor and get someone to help. Again, I can’t thank Vanessa enough for her help and I highly recommend her.

    Vanessa was a great day-of coordinator for our wedding! We were pretty far along in planning when we contacted her, but she brought up several points we hadn't anticipated, kept track of the to-do list, and gave just the right amount of gentle nudging to get things done on time. The day itself went incredibly smoothly because of her super organization and competence, juggling multiple vendors, making sure we didn't have to worry about anything and could enjoy the day. Couldn't have pulled it off without her help! Also she's very sweet and easy-going, great to work with, respectful of our wishes.
