  AMAZING cross country planning experience!

  Darby is one of a kind - you could not find a better wedding planner. We live in Montana, but got married in Philadelphia - Darby knew all the best vendors, and made planning from afar a breeze! She was calm, thoughtful, and communicative throughout the entire process. We opted for her full service planning option, and were so impressed with the value we experienced - Darby brought a complete team to support her on our wedding day, so my husband and I truly didn't worry about a single thing. Our wedding party and family who got to know her all commented on Darby's kindness and incredible work - also that they wished they lived in Philly so they could hang with her regularly! If you have the chance, work with Darby!!

  Above and beyond

  Darby and her team are consumate professionals who bring only positive energy and meticulous attention to detail. We hired Darby for a 210-person wedding on a family farm with zero infrastructure just 7 months ahead of the big day. Darby helped us to prioritize our tasks, provided suggestions for vendors who proved to be amazing, and spent an hour with me every week ahead of the wedding to ensure we were aligned. She also joined all of our calls and meetings with vendors, handled any challenging conversations, and provided her key insights. We could not have planned the wedding without her.
  
  And the wedding weekend was a dream - Darby built a timeline that kept all parties on time without anyone feeling rushed, she and her team managed all aspects with zero hiccups (and if there were any, she ensured that we were never bothered or even heard about them), and she and her team were with us throughout 3 full days of events. We could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Seeds of Celebration.

  Darby and her team completely put my husband and I at ease on our wedding day. We booked Darby as our day-of coordinator and she really went above and beyond. Leading up to my wedding day, she was available to recommend wedding vendors and we ended up booking quite a few professionals based off of her suggestions. Besides confirming and checking in with my vendors, she she was on-call for any last minute changes and there were quite a few due to the fact that the forecast called for rain (we had an outdoor wedding). This meant that additional rentals were required along with floor plans which she handled with ease. On the day of the wedding, her team was on-time, professional and friendly. Erin was my main planner and she was absolutely wonderful. She always seemed right behind me when I needed her without being overbearing. She even held an umbrella for me during photos when it was raining all with a smile on her face. I cannot say enough good things about Darby and her team, I highly recommend taking the stress off yourself and book her team.

  Working with Darby and Seeds of Celebration for our son’s Bar Mitzvah was a wonderful experience. It was like having one of your best friends help you plan your event without having any of the stress that could bring. She had wonderful suggestions for vendors. Our catering was fantastic! We were able to enjoy the entire Bar Mitzvah weekend so much more than we ever could have without Darby and her team. And speaking of her team, even though we hadn’t worked with all of them as much as Darby, they jumped right in with all phases of our event and were as warm, caring and involved as Darby, herself. The entire team made sure every detail was attended to and everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you Seeds of Celebration!

  Darby is a wonderful, amazing wedding planner. She had just a little over four months to help us plan and coordinate our wedding. My daughter was out of town in an intense school program for almost all of that time, and Darby managed to develop relationships with her and her fiance, with me and my husband, which were so important to planning the wedding. Our wedding went so beautifully, smoothly, and was such fun, largely due to Darby's efforts and attention to detail. Her composure, experience and the loveliness of who she is made her a joy to work with.

  How many good things can I say about Darby? I had never heard of a ‘day-of’ wedding coordinator until I got into the planning process. It became readily apparent that I was naïve in thinking that choosing your venue, caterer, florist. Photographer, and DJ meant you had done the bulk of the work. As we got closer to the wedding, the tasks that needed to be done seemed to keep multiplying. As a day of coordinator she did much more than coordinate things that day. She got involved several weeks beforehand coordinating communication between the vendors (Will the officiant have a microphone? Who provides that? Did anyone call the DJ to see? Does the florist know how the officiant is going to set things up? Where did I want the table cards? Which tables would people sit at and does not only the caterer know this but ALSO the photographer who will be tasked with finding groups of people we arranged to be photographed? Also when is each vendor arriving and when should they arrive? Who needs to coordinate with who? ) And this was only the beginning. Who would make sure the day itself ran smoothly? I did not want to burden my family or wedding party who would not have been taken away from the event itself to coordinate these things. Plus, how would they have coordinated with each other? And WE ALSO wanted to enjoy the wedding. We had put so much time and effort into it. From the moment we met Darby we felt confident that she would help us handle all of these things. She’s super organized while also being calm and easygoing. She coordinated with everyone needed for the rehearsal and ran it. On the day of the wedding, I literally arrived at the venue and let her run the show. I felt completely at ease. Everyone who interacted with Darby thought she was wonderful. I highly recommend her!

  Darby and her team are incredible! She played a pivotal role in every significant decision we made during the year leading up to the event. In addition to her foresight and experience, she also worked as mediator and therapist between the bride, her folks, and that squirrelly groom. Sanity prevailed, Event was Flawless and even better than we had hoped. Score one for Seeds of Celebration!

  I cannot say enough good things about Darby. She was incredibly friendly, positive, organized, and professional. From the first time we spoke with her, I could tell that she was listening intently and getting to know us as individuals. This is not a pre-packaged service by ANY means. Darby will alleviate any worry and leave you feeling in good hands. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. You MUST have Darby for your wedding. We could not have done it without her (seriously). Thank you Darby!!!!!

  Darby is fabulous - she knows the business and how to make things run smoothly. She knows the vendors, caterers, etc. She helped with both my rehearsal dinner and wedding, and I can't imagine how the events would have happened without her help. She is also more reasonably priced than other event planners in the area - but I felt the service was top tier. Highly, highly recommended.

  Darby was fabulous - we used her for our wedding in October 2015. We decided we only needed "day of" coordination, but Darby started helping us about a month before. She communicated with our vendors and reviewed our contracts prior to our wedding day, to make sure we were getting what we were supposed to on the actual day. She was extremely helpful in making sure we had everything at the venue on the day of, she even picked things up from our house. She made sure everyone knew where they were supposed to be on the wedding day, including family members and bridal party. Mostly importantly, she coordinated the whole timeline with the photographer, so that everyone would be on time and prepared. She was on top of it! Darby was professional, super sweet, friendly, and kept the mood light! I would highly recommend her.

  Above and beyond exceptional

  Darby Burns made all of my wedding dreams come true. She was a beyond full service provider who has exceptional taste and CARES about her clients. A true professional. Darby helped with our international affair hosted in center city Philadelphia. She managed to figure out how to accommodate family and cultures across 5 international countries and coast to coast in the USA. Our family which spans from the EU ( encl. Barcelona) and California up to New England were quite a group to manage. She instantly took the lead helping my husbands family with learning the US cultural wedding norms. She helped my husbands non English speaking family with vendor selection and to coordinate welcome events (including rehearsal dinner). This was a side project for her as she still focused on primarily a working with me to plan the most exquisite wedding event of their lives. 6 events (across Philadelphia and the mainline) in 4 days pulled off with the utmost professionalism and coordination like no one has ever seen. Full service experience- family management, scheduling, event plans, vendor management, guest management, special request execution, financial and budget management, food and drink confirmation, decor and design support and setup. Years later we will all continue to be in awe of her talents. Thank you, thank you! You provided a service, a luxury experience and a friendship which exceeds all else. All of that puts Seeds of Celebration in a catagory with the best of the industry.
