Judy was absolutely amazing. The monthly phone call check-ins leading up to the wedding were very helpful to keep us on tract. She did a great job organizing our dress rehearsal. Judy and her husband helped us set up the day of and took a lot of initiative. She really did an amazing job keeping us organized and on tract with her expertise and was a pleasure to work with. Judy really cared about making our wedding day as special as could be and is very passionate about her work. Would highly recommend! -

Judi went above and beyond in helping us pull off a really ambitious and far-reaching remote event. She was really responsive, kind, calm, thoughtful and organised. Judi was able to manage and solve a lot of last minute dilemmas and kept us stress-free in the process. -

Judi was so much fun to work with. She paid attention to every detail, listened to all my ideas and helped turn our small backyard wedding into an absolute dream. She was continous of our budget and had great suggestions that saved us money while still keeping the wedding elegant and personal. She was wonderful at our rehearsal, so considerate of our relatives and made everyone comfortable. She kept everything running smooth on the wedding day and I was blown away by beautiful touches and how everything came together. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Judi to anyone, she's absolutely amazing! -

Judi is an absolute angel and was so amazing to work with. She took over coordinating and not only jumped on every task and ask we sent her way, but also anticipated our needs throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make our wedding so special and memorable, even going as far as surprising us with a gorgeous display for our ceremony. I highly recommend her services- she allowed my husband and I to not only enjoy our wedding without worrying about details, but handled everything with grace so that the ceremony, music, and reception went off without a hitch. We were stress-free and so beyond thrilled with her work. Our wedding was so perfect and it was because of not just the hard work, but the love and time Judi put into it. She got to know us, our likes, dislikes, and who we are, so that every detail in our wedding was personal. She is hands down, the best person to coordinate! -

Outstanding!
As a DJ/MC that has been a part of many wedding celebrations, there is no one that compares to the level of passion and commitment to their couples like Judi and Sean. Their willingness to go the extra mile is on full display at every celebration. Whether it is decorations, arrangements, creating detailed timelines, scheduling and coordinating with family, friends, as well as vendors.
This beautiful and loving couple transfers their happiness in to everything they do and it shows. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to partner with them because I know I will receive expert communication and transparency everytime. Book them today and when you speak with Judi, you will see what I am talking about. Judi and Sean, you are the best! -

Amazing wedding coordinator!
Judi is phenomenal! I could not have made it through my wedding day smoothly without her. If I could do it all again I would hire her for the full planning package! We hired her for day of coordination and she went absolutely above and beyond! She set up all our decor, fixed problems before I even knew there was a problem, and kept the day running smoothly! If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, hire Judi!! She is worth every penny and a gem of a person. Thank you Judi!! -

Best Wedding Decision We Made!
I can't express enough how grateful we are for the incredible work of Judi along with her husband.
Hiring a day-of wedding coordinator was a last-minute decision for us, but surely the best thing we did. From the monthly calls to the big day, Judi was exceptional in every way. Her attention to detail, creative vision, and ability to manage everything seamlessly took so much stress off our shoulders. The day went off without a hitch, and every element was executed perfectly, just as we had dreamed… and more! Judi managed our vendors, put up some of our decorations, and executed the perfect wedding timeline. We could not have done it without Judi by our side. Their professionalism and dedication truly made our wedding unforgettable. Judi was the friendliest and gentlest wedding coordinator I talked to during my search. During our calls and on the wedding day, I felt that Judi truly cared and wanted our wedding to be the best day ever. If you're looking for someone to make your special day perfect, look no further! -

Eileen Sent on 09/22/2024Disorganized not enough staff (they are only 2)
Judi was our wedding planner. We worked with her for about 6 months. She was very focused and determined during our phone meetings and preparation leading up to our special day. We knew going into this will be a tough assignment for not only our vendors but specifically for our planner, Judi. My wife asked multiple times if Judi and her husband will be able to complete the task because there is only two of them running the show. Judi insisted and stated that they’ll be able to get the job done. I am not a planner nor is trying to be one, but I think it will be best to have more people on your team to be able to deal with 140 guests, rather than just 2. A walkie talkie or a communication device would’ve also been helpful. Especially when my wife was looking for Judi. Her husband was her assistant. We saw him help out the caterers. It would’ve been more helpful if he helped Judi by helping the guest or directing the guest to their appropriate places. Another issue prior to the ceremony was about 3 days prior. Judi miss calculated and informed our venue owner that our family members were going to help clean up/breakdown after the ceremony is over. We did not tell her that our family will help the post party cleaning up. We had to scrounge for a cleanup crew 2 days before the ceremony, which was very stressful.
Our wedding is a nontraditional wedding. The wedding will have a small private ceremony consisted of about 30 to 40 family members and close friends. The rest of the guests will arrive at a later time after the ceremony to enjoy the wedding reception. During the break after photoshoot, I was talking to Judi I asked her why people are already sitting at the reception are she replied and said “there were people watching and then some there are people who do not watch” As if she did not have any control with the guests. As per agreement the reason we had this reception is to show the videos first. During our wedding reception, we specifically informed Judi that our wedding ceremony will be a small ceremony that consisted of immediate family and close friends. Judi, my wife, and I all agreed that if anybody who shows up uninvited to the ceremony will be escorted out, we also agreed that if for any reason the other guest arrives early, there will be a tape or the gates will be blocked off for anybody who comes in early prior to the reception. Once our small ceremony ended. Some of our family and friends that arrived saw us coming down from the ceremony area. The gates or the pathways were supposed to be blocked off or sectioned off so that way the rest of our guest who were not invited to the small ceremony will not be offended. There were people that were not supposed to be at the small ceremony and they got through. We felt that Judi did not direct the guest appropriately. Judi also did an occular visit at the venue back in April so we expected she was familiar with the venue.
My wife even insisted for Judi not to help her with changing her wedding dress, so that way she can focus with the reception.
Few things that we also did not want to see you during our ceremony was the lack of communication between emcee, DJ, and the planner. They all seem confused. Few instances Judi was hard to get a hold of. Her cell phone was turned off. My wife had myself run to Judi so that 2 of our invited guest can be seated. They drove all the way from apple valley (8hrs away) They stood there for a bit before I pointed out that they were invited. Their names were on the seating chart. There was not enough space for them to sit down. The seating chart that we agreed on was not the same one on the day of the wedding. We also noticed some a few things that were not supposed to be at the ceremony. Fake flowers that were not supposed to be in a spot where it did not belong. We only borrowed her bathroom signs, favors signs and dessert stands. Flowers were fake flowers that were not instructed to add since we ordered fresh flowers. Also, things were added to the ceremony which were not discussed. We also did not like the finger pointing by Judi and MC. This shows denying responsibilities during the ceremony and reception.
Judi looked very stressed during the ceremony and reception. Her mood was obviously different from our previous phone conversations. There were only 15 people watching the video at the cocktail table. The guests were in the 3 tables at the arbor side. My wife and I agree at one of the comments that the bride made on these reviews. We initially did not want to create a review, but we asked Judi if she can talk to us. She sounded avoidant. We also felt like she sounded very sweet and want us to hear what we want to hear. The games were a success. We know this is a small business. the venue has 3 tier sections and its non- traditional. The number of assistance Judi only had was her husband. Judi and her husband was no match for 140 guests. We felt that our day was very disorganized. The games were successful. We don’t want to give a bad review. This is not to discredit or insult or disrespect their business. My wife and I just wanted to express our experience with them. -
