Michelle is the bee's knees when it comes to wedding planners. She worked with us not only on day of coordination, but also designing. She used our thoughts, ideas and color preferences to create a beautiful design proposal that guided all of our decisions. In terms of logistics, she is on it!! She is prompt in communication, and vendor scheduling. Everything was so organized. We were able to enjoy our wedding day, because Michelle took care of all the details. She is a rockstar!!

Hiring Michelle was absolutely the best decision we made for our wedding. HANDS DOWN, she is amazing! I lack the words to fully capture how wonderful Michelle is and how much value she added throughout ever step of our planning process. I kept stumbling upon Michelle’s stunning work and was excited to see what she might come up with for my "classic, yet modern geometric" wedding. I contacted her with a brief and a budget, and she immediately starting brainstorming ways that we could bring my ideas to life. This was the beginning of an incredibly collaborative and supportive relationship.

Michelle embraced my hopes and was ALWAYS the fiercest advocate for what was in my heart. Even when I doubted my dreams--or our ability to pull it all off--she helped me see what was possible. She believed in our "perfect day" more than anyone--and, most importantly, she made it all happen! Michelle was the bright spot through the inevitable (and numerous!!) twists and turns, and just an awesome human all around. When things went crazy, she was like my best friend, telling me that it was all going to work out, helping me to think clearly, and providing her professional expertise. I NEVER doubted that Michelle was on my side and would do everything in her power to help me. When the stress of planning a wedding from NYC (where I live) was adding up, Michelle was there like a superhero. It's also worth noting that Michelle worked miracles to execute my vision and stay within our budget. She crafted huge 3D geometric shapes from wooden dowels to save money (they looked fab!), picked flowers from a local farm to get the best blooms, and found a ton of little details that made our reception feel like us. She even sent me a care package a few weeks before our dates with lovely lotions and soaps to help me relax.

Michelle is a world-class wedding planner, and a caring, smart, and talented person. It was such a pleasure working with her. I feel blessed to have had her by my side!

After working with Red Heels for day of coordinating and decor/design services, we cannot say enough about Michelle. Since we live out of state, we were about to hire another coordinator that was recommended but we weren't sure if that individual was the best fit for us. Thankfully I spoke with Michelle and she seemed like a much better choice- and she was! Early on we had ZERO ideas and input for the wedding, but Michelle was incredibly patient and helpful with this process. We met her a few months before the wedding and it was clear that she has a true gift for helping clients verbalize their ideas and then bringing them to life. She was able to create the exact feeling of a wedding that we wanted and her designs were amazing. During the day of, she was able to help maintain order out of chaos- we threw a lot at her including moving our ceremony next door 48 hours before the wedding! The Red Heels team made the wedding planning process simple and as stress-less as you can get. We were truly able to enjoy our wedding and our guests had an AMAZING time!
