23Eleven Events

ibly helpful through the planning process and was always willing to give insight and advice when we had random issues or questions. Sarah and Nicole met with me once in person about a month before, and I opted for a phone meeting for our second the week before. Both Sarah and Nicole were also incredibly helpful and took the information I brought to make the day run smoothly. They both came to the rehearsal and basically ran it. The day of, they showed up to the venue before anyone else and oversaw vendor deliveries and setup. Anything that needed to get done, they did so that my husband, myself, and our VIPs could focus on enjoying ourselves instead of running around. Once the reception started, they even brought me drinks! We definitely would not have been able to enjoy our day nearly as much if not for these ladies!! One thing I would have done differently is adjust my budget to allow for their wedding planning services instead of just day-of coordination. Wedding planning is a lot more stressful than I anticipated and it would have been 100% worth it. I highly recommend 23Eleven Events!

ble for all of our needs. All the way to the very last minute of the evening! I can't thank them enough. Perfection ladies!

ples include organizing the cake and flowers, decorating, putting together and mailing invitations, and organizing seating plans. But she did so much more for us too! I had to make very little contact with each of the vendors, which didn't make me feel pulled in a million directions. It was amazing to have someone coordinate every aspect of the wedding from the beginning to the very end, when she organized our car ride home! We were literally able to show up and enjoy! I would recommend her to absolutely anyone in need of any help at all! She will NOT disappoint!

n to get the perfect look for our big day. You can tell she is passionate about what she is doing & took great care into making sure everything came out just right! She sees the big picture & she goes above & beyond to get the job done! Thank you 23E for everything you did to make our wedding day absolutely beautiful!!

of Coordinating. Amy and Sarah helped to make sure that all of the details on our big day were taken care of - from place cards to fielding vendors - they handled of everything! Our centerpieces were absolutely gorgeous and so many guests remarked on how gorgeous my bouquet was. Overall, we could not have asked for a more wonderful group to work with. I highly recommend 23Eleven Events to anyone looking for planning and/or decoration help.

ing into. But during the course of the months leading up to the wedding, the planners were not as organized as we would have liked. We were very busy, and the planners we not as attentive to that as they could have been; deadlines came up and there were accordingly some fire drills, which lead to some stressful times. Overall, the wedding turned out perfectly in the end though.

fect for our day. They handle all the dirty work the week before and allowed me to relax a little bit, which really helped with my anxiety. The day of, I had nothing to worry about. They were always close by making sure I had everything I needed and that everything was right on schedule to happen. This allowed my husband and I to really soak t all in and live in the moment without having to make sure vendors were set and things were in place. I would 100% recommend 23Eleven and I'm so thankful they were behind it all on the best day of my life thus far!

erpieces were beautiful and added so much to our day-- at a reasonable price! Would highly recommend 23Eleven Events without hesitation.

n't have someone there to oversea decorating and working with the venue staff. The team came in and out without me even knowing they were there, all with little time and my being able to show them how I wanted everything the week before the wedding. It was the best decision I made! Even if you can handle wedding planning, the big day needs extra hands..and hands who are experts at set-up...these ladies are just that. Thanks Amy, Jenn and team!

d helpful and generally excited to help plan our wedding! She put me right at ease and as the months went on she was happy to help whenever I would call or text question after question! A few weeks before the wedding my husband and I met with Sarah our wedding day coordinator and again I wasn't sure what to expect, considering I had been talking and spending time with Amy, but Sarah was super friendly and also very helpful with all the little things that can pop up last minute! I honestly have nothing but nice things to say about the 23 eleven girls!! Our wedding day was perfect, everything that we had spent months and months planning for came together, and it was gorgeous more than I could of ever imagined! The girls took my vision and made it look like something out of a wedding magazine! I would definitely recommend any bride looking for some help planning their wedding to 23 eleven events!!!

ettiest arrangement she had ever seen. someone who has done hundreds of weddings thought Amy’s was the best and she was so right! All I did was tell Amy what i liked and sent her some pictures and she was spot on. During the actual ceremony she was so helpful, doing her best to make sure i didn’t have to deal with anything or anyone. She was so knowledgeable when people asked her what to do and where to go. We had no hiccups or delays because the 23Eleven staff was so on top of everything. The reception was in a new venue (I was only the second bride) and the staff at the barn were very scattered but as soon as Amy got there to the time it was over she handled everything. I didn’t know until the next day that Amy had to handle multiple things the barn didn’t come threw on. I so appreciate the fact that she MADE SURE I wasn’t bothered with anything. Even if I would ask she would just say “I’ve got it” and she really did! Walking into the reception was like a fairytale. It was all my thoughts I had communicated to Amy months before. The whole night I was just so in awe. So thank you thank you thank you 23Eleven Events. Truly made my wedding the best day of my life. I can’t thank you enough. I would recommend them a thousand times over!

ven. As a very hands on and involved groom, I honestly can say that I'm so thankful we did. Amy and her crew were such a pleasure to work with. She was very personable and immediately got all the wedding information from us and organized it all and contacted all of our vendors to coordinate. She had no problem with us contacting her with questions or complicated problems that we weren't sure how to to solve. The ability for 23Eleven to quickly understand our wedding and start coordinating all the details from no details to fully running was incredible. When the day of our wedding rolled around, it was so nice to have 23Eleven there to fall back on. I cannot imagine having friends and family doing everything they did. From setup to tear down, bride and groom coordination and helping with even small details such as pinning on boutonnieres it was so stress relieving to know someone was taking care of this. Being such a last second thing, I didn't expect the greatest coordination or quality out of 23Eleven, and was completely blown away that their ability to hit the ground running and get things done. Our wedding day went without a hitch and was absolutely perfect. We did a lot of work leading up to this date, but I have no hesitation in saying that it wouldn't have been the same event without 23Eleven there to help. It was such a pleasure to work with them...they truly felt like family by the end of the night and couldnt imagine the wedding without them there.

he weeks leading up to the event. After deciding to bring in 23eleven at the last minute to provide day-of-coordination for our wedding we could not have imagined doing it without Amy and her team. After arriving on-site the day before to attend the rehearsal dinner and assess the lay of the land, Amy asked what our biggest concerns were and, per my request, took the lead to direct the proceedings as needed. She provided impeccable attention to detail and executed the day flawlessly. Everything from the set-up to the clean up was handled by Amy and her team and we were able to enjoy a stress-free wedding day with our friends and family! Because of her 24/7 accessibility to answer questions, Amy's fun and bubbly personality, and the professionalism of the entire 23eleven staff I would not hesitate for a second to recommend 23eleven for day-of-coordination for any event. They really ensured we were able to have (and enjoy!) the perfect wedding of our dreams.

approached, we began to get more concerned about our ability to manage the many details of the event, as well as arrange all the décor, and still be able to enjoy our daughter’s special day. The fact that our youngest daughter was also the maid of honor, and would naturally be spending a lot of the day helping her sister, also meant she would not have a lot of time to be our event planner that day. Just ten days before the wedding, our youngest daughter contacted Amy to see if 23Eleven Events was available, and would be willing to step in at the last minute to help us out. Fortunately for us, the answer was YES! From the moment I met Amy (six days before the wedding), I began to relax. We had a lot of detailed décor, and extensive notes about how we had intended to set up the ceremony site and reception room, thanks to our youngest daughter. Amy went through everything with us, made some excellent suggestions, and said, “OK, leave it to me.” Amy and her staff (Sarah and Jeremy) took the ball and ran with it. They were professional, efficient, courteous, and so easy to work with. When there were issues with Travelocity with their rooms, Amy spent over 3 hours on the phone resolving it, even though I was the one who made the reservations. When she learned that the venue manager was going to arrive 3.5 hours later than he had told her just the night before, she found another staff member to assist her. Ceremony site not cleaned up from the previous night’s wedding? Work on other areas until that was done. Cut flowers not up to par? Tweak the plan and make them look good. Truthfully, I do not know how we could have managed without 23Eleven. They took what could have been a stressful day (given the inevitable glitches of any wedding), and turned it into a day we could all enjoy. Amy, Sarah, and Jeremy were always calm and reassuring, and when we asked about anything, they gave us solid answers, or said, “We’ll find out and take care of it.” Set up started at 9 am, clean up didn’t finish until almost 1 am, and they were there for it all. It really seemed like they were family, rather than a company we had hired. Deciding to hire a wedding planner ten days before a wedding – who does this?? Although I would not recommend waiting as long as we did, I definitely recommend choosing Amy and 23Eleven to plan and coordinate a wedding - or any event! They are FANTASTIC!

issue with our wedding. 23Eleven Events' services were so personal and beautiful that I don't think any of us could have planned anything better. Every question was anticipated and addressed before we even thought to ask and every employee was personable, professional and acted as though there was nothing more important than our wedding happening in the world that day. The room and the flowers were beautiful and the activities were stress-free to the guests and families. I can not think of one way the services could have been better. Absolutely, 100% happy with 23Eleven Events!

one looking for a planner or decorator.

easy to work with. Amy made sure everything went off the day of the wedding without any problem, I didn't have to worry about a thing it was all taken care of for me. As well as coordination Amy also did all of our decorations. They turned out more beautiful then I could have ever imagined! I gave Amy ideas of things that I liked and she really made my dream come to life. The centerpieces were beautiful and my bouquet was the most gorgeous bouquet I have ever seen! I got a ton of compliments on my bouquet as well as the rest of our decorations and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! It was GORGEOUS thanks to Amy and her team. We could not have pulled off such an awesome wedding without the help of Amy and the rest of the 23Eleven Events team! Thank you for everything Amy you did such an amazing job!!

ked for a better wedding planner - Amy is delightful, knowledgable and can get to the heart of what you want quickly so the end product is just what you wanted. She was really the catalyst in making my daughter's wedding day just perfect.

are fun people and my wife and I were so pleased. Everything was perfect and went very smoothly. The reception was like something out of a magazine. My wife had met with Amy and showed her pictures and that was all she needed. She made my wife's vision come alive and I was so thankful for that. Happy wife, happy life. Amy will make your wife happy and that makes the groom's life easier. :) Thank you 23 eleven events!

wedding rehearsal. Sarah went above and beyond to get to know me and our wedding vision before the big day. The day of the wedding, I never felt that I had to worry about where I was supposed to be. Sarah was there to get me and my whole wedding party where we needed to be at the right time. The whole day was perfectly orchestrated, and I know this has everything to do with her hard work throughout the day. During our reception, it turned out that there was a mistake and there weren't enough seats at our head table. I recall mentioning this quietly, and suddenly, Sarah was there with a number of hotel staff carrying chairs over to the table. My mother also reported to me how helpful and careful Sarah was to gather all of the wedding decorations at the end of the night and help my family get things where they needed to be. I would imagine that it is a natural part of being a wedding planner that so much of your work goes unnoticed and unsung due to how much has to be done behind the scenes. That being said, I know, undoubtedly, that my wedding would not have run as smoothly without the help of Sarah from 23Eleven events. I am so grateful to have had her as a part of our wedding day!

y family and I to enjoy the wedding without worrying about vendors being on time and making sure the expectations of each vendor was met. As the bride, I forgot to put deodorant on in the morning and I realized this at the reception. How embarrassing! I explained this to Sarah and she quickly found some deodorant for me. Thank you, Sarah haha!!! Amy exceeded my expectations with the floral arrangements. I was very particular how I wanted the flowers to look, we even laughed about how picky I was! I LOVED my bridal bouquet of all white phalaenopsis orchids, it looked like something you would see on Pinterest or in a bridal magazine! Thank you Amy and Sarah for everything! :) 23Eleven events wrote a blog about my floral arrangements and can be viewed at the below link: http://www.23elevenevents.com/2013/10/05/real-wedding-florals-decor/
