    Fabulous, competent, so pleasant and fun!

    Candace is worth her weight in gold. SO efficient, pleasant and capable. She had our reception planned literally down to the minute and it was executed beautifully. She was always in the background but totally available throughout the night until the end. I can't imagine a better wedding planner.

    Incredible

    Candace was the most organized, poised, lovely wedding coordinator you could find. She made each and every step a breeze! Even with decisions I didn’t know how to make or didn’t know to make- she understood me and made everything beautiful. Can’t recommend her enough!!

    Candace is top notch!

    Candace, our day-of-coordinator, and her assistant played an indispensable role in ensuring our special day ran flawlessly and free of any hiccups. Her exceptional ability to build strong relationships with local wedding venues and vendors became evident as she effortlessly orchestrated the day-of execution with seamless precision. One of the things we truly appreciated about Candace was her keen understanding of our vision. She integrated the unique elements we wanted, even going above and beyond suggesting Sublime Donuts to serve as a creative and delicious addition to dessert which she picked up the day of! Beyond her exceptional organizational skills, Candace's demeanor impressed us as well. She was not only extremely kind and accommodating but also possessed a no-nonsense, get-stuff-done persona that ensured clear and effective communication with all the wedding guests, bridal party, and vendors throughout the event. Her ability to keep everyone informed about "who, what, where, and how" made the day even more enjoyable for all attendees. Overall, Candace's expertise, experience, and dedication made our wedding day an unforgettable experience. We owe her a debt of gratitude for making our dreams a reality, and we highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a remarkable wedding coordinator!

    Fabulous Day Of Coordinator

    Candace was a phenomenal day of coordinator and her assistant was fabulous! They were both an instrumental part of our big day.

    Best experience with Candace!

    We could not have asked for a better experience than the one we got from Candace. Her professionalism and expertise took so much off of our plate in the months leading up to the wedding.

    On the day of the wedding, we were able to fully relax knowing that all logistics and communications were handled. We are so grateful to Candace for everything she did for us, and we could not recommend her more highly!

    If you're looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator, look no further

    Angel from Heaven

    My husband and I had a courthouse elopement and once we came clean to friends and family decided we wanted to do something small and casual (and inexpensive!).

    As this was my second marriage I knew how quickly expenses can get out of hand but I was candid about my budget and never felt pressure to go above it. Candance kept my needs in mind and managed to plan the most magical day. We picked a venue at Oakland Cemetery and a few weeks before the wedding she noticed that bell tower has not been rented out for the day of our wedding and convinced them to throw in the extra space for no extra charge.

    I wanted the wedding to feel easy and casual and she delivered while still making it look anything but. Everything was so beautiful.

    Her husband was our videographer and while I didn’t know if I wanted a video- I’m SO glad we have one. It’s so special and helps me remember all the little details I forgot in the busy bliss.

    I cannot recommend these two enough.

    Reliable, professional, and patient!

    Candace is the exact kind of person I wanted to serve as our planner. My husband and I hired Candace per the recommendation of a friend who had her wedding a year before ours. She is on top of communication, is willing to hop on a call a a moment's notice, and was a great thought partner on design, flow, and timeline. She never winced once at any of our requests or questions, and I am certain was handling fires we never even knew about. She has a calm and warm demeanor which was the perfect antidote to the chaos and stress of organizing such a major affair.

    Incredible experience with Candace

    Candace is amazing to work with. Since the first time we chatted on the phone, she understood my vision for our wedding. I gave ideas and executed perfectly. She went the extra mile throughout the whole process and if I could hire her again, I 100% would. So grateful she was on our team for our special day!

    Incredible Experience

    Working with Candace and the Smooth as Butter team was easily the best decision we made in planning our wedding! Candace thought of so many details we couldn't have foreseen, and she made sure everything and everyone was where they needed to be, when they needed to be. Candace was as kind as she was competent, and her graciousness and encouragement were a huge help to me throughout the entire process. I have already recommended the Smooth as Butter team to several friends, and I would commend her to anyone else looking for excellent, uplifting coordination work at their wedding. Can't say enough great things!

    You’re in great hands with Candace!

    Candace is the best in the business! She immediately understood my vision the first time we spoke. She provides an excellent, thoughtfully curated list of vendors to help you get organized early on in the planning process. I loved every single one of the individuals and teams we hired for our wedding day, thanks to Candace. She goes above and beyond to get to know you and your partner to ensure that your day will be executed to absolute perfection. Candace is creative, thoughtful and communicative — she helped me think through so many ideas and always gave the best advice. If you hire Candace, you can rest assure that your day will in fact go as smooth as butter!

    Successful events have more details, yet less details are seen and...

    Candace is a master at organizing and attending to all the numerous behind the scenes details with grace and ease! Our daughter's wedding weekend went flawlessly because of Candace's professionalism, attention to detail, and her ability to anticipate the needs of so many before and during the wedding and all the events prior to. I'd like to also let others know, with all going on the day of wedding, when I saw my elderly aunt and uncle arriving from afar, I reached for Candace and asked her to grab them and guide them to their seats as my uncle walks with a cane. Without hesitation she went to them and gave them her immediate attention to guide them. I will always be grateful, as she made them feel very cared for in that moment. I would highly recommend her, as she truly gave us the best gift of all, the ability to relax and breathe and be fully present in the moments that create memories!

    Incredible Wedding Planner

    We cannot recommend Candace enough as a wedding planner. She made the planning process so easy for us, even though we were from out of state. Her warm and friendly demeanor made us feel comfortable and confident in all of our choices throughout the entire planning process. She was able to provide a stellar roster of amazing vendors that made our special day beautiful and no matter what challenges arose, she was always ready with a solution. We loved Candace so much that we even asked her to officiate the ceremony! Candace and the Smooth as Butter team went above and beyond to make our wedding day special, and we are so grateful for their hard work and dedication.

    Couldn't have done it without her

    Candace was integral in making sure we got sll our ducks in a row and all details in order for our big day. She made the day of our wedding move smoothly and was there to help out with last minute details (including picking up our wedding cake from the bakery herself and running to the drugstore during the event to pick me up some eyelash glue when my lashes started to separate during the reception!!!). Any issues that arose during the night, she took care of. And she was also full of amazing ideas that really helped us out during the planning process! We literally could not have done it without her.

    The best wedding planning decision we made!

    We hired Candace a year & a half before our June 2022 wedding for partial planning services and it was the best wedding decision we made! On our initial call, I told Candace about the vibe I wanted & she immediately knew of a venue (that I didn't) that was absolutely perfect, and I knew it was the right choice to hire her! She was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process, and was in lockstep with me & my vision the whole time. Plus she didn't balk at my more wild ideas! She has a list of incredible trusted vendors that was a lifeline, and all of her recommendations were perfect. She handled the logistics (from proposals to load-ins), which let me have the most enjoyable & fun wedding planning process imaginable. The day went off without a hitch & our guests couldn't stop talking about how enjoyable our event was. I was so sad when our wedding was over because I didn't get to work with her anymore! I can't thank Candace enough for all of her hard work on our day.

    Electric service

    The Michael Jordan of Wedding Planning. Candace is a wonderful, kind, energetic person who created the most magical experience for my wife and I. Our Indian wedding was zero stress and had all the garlic naan. We were supposed to have a violinist play but they cancelled at the last minute with COVID but Candace sorted everything out and hired the most bad a** saxophone player in Atlanta. If you want to have a wedding that is (f*cking) unforgettable, call Candace and the Smooth As Butter Team!

    Seamless, perfect, truly smooth as butter!

    I can't begin to formulate words to describe how great Candace and her assistant are! Candace was responsive from our very first phone call. She is detail oriented and made sure to ask what services I needed. I must also mention how affordable her services are. I utilized her coordination services only. Her method of organization is genius and made it easy to communicate all my wants, vendor information, and day-of decisions. She communicated effectively and efficiently with me and my vendors and made sure our final walkthrough was smooth. She listened to my dreams of a somewhat DIY wedding and helped make it come to life! She was so kind to all of my family and friends in the wedding party, She went above and beyond to be sure both me and my husband were taken care and and without any stresses on our wedding day. I would choose her over and over again and can't wait to work with her again.

    Best Decision EVER

    Candace at Smooth as Butter hands down is the reason my wedding was such a success. From the very beginning, she is responsive, friendly, full of great advice and creative solutions to any wedding dilemma. She is also so fun and just a super nice person. I decided to handle a lot of decor aspects myself, had a very specific grand exit, and had many many vendors. She perfectly planned the logistics as well as gave me style advice for everything (she has flawless taste). She is a dream to work with! We had some last minute vendor issues and she solved the problem before I even knew there was one. She is the person you want confirming, planning, and handling every aspect of your wedding. Candace went above and beyond for us. She is 5 steps ahead every step of the way so your wedding day is a stress free dream. I say that as a type-A control freak bride. This is truly the best money you will spend for your wedding.

    Amazing Coordinator!

    I'm convinced that Candace is the wedding god's gift to earth! We were planning a (postponed) wedding out of state, and we truly couldn't have done it without Candace. Like many couples, we considered if we needed a day-of-coordinator. The answer is YES, and the only right answer is HIRE CANDACE. There were so many little details that she helped us with, and also put out fires the day of that we didn't even know were happening. I swear she was in 8 places at once. We are beyond grateful we found her, and she helped us have the best wedding day ever!!
