We utilized Belle Beauty for Day of Coordination services and could not have been more pleased! Stacy and Sam took care of everything and really brought my vision to life on the bi...
g day while taking all the stress off of me so we could enjoy ourselves.
Unfortunately I am unable to recommend this company for their planning services after the way my wedding day was executed. While I am INCREDIBLY UNSATISFIED with how my day went I ...
cannot blame Sam (the lead planner who was in charge of my day) but instead blame the owner Stacy, who I hired and signed a contract with from the beginning to be the planner. Somewhere in the planning process she booked another wedding and decided to split up the associates between the two weddings. Something that was never discussed until after she signed another contract with another couple. Which to be honest was never discussed, instead was something I just had to deal with because I had already signed a contract with them. I think my wedding was underestimated and poorly planned. For example, my entire wedding party including myself was forced to be on site the morning of decorating the tables, ceremony, and all other areas because we observed what had not been done and had to take matters into our own hands. When we should have been enjoying ourselves getting ready together. I was asked to take photos of all of my decor items and then also put them into bins with labels and an itemized list of what was in those bins for the planners to know exactly where those items went. None of which matched the photos that I had originally dropped into the google drive that they had asked for.
A list of things that were not done :
-mothers and grandmothers NEVER received their corsages (I found them in the fridge the day after while cleaning up. This was brushed off like it didn’t matter which only left me more DISAPPOINTED.
-My ENTIRE WEDDING PARTY including myself had to go to my venue the morning of to help get the venue decorated, whether it was due to lack of staffing, or one of the planners being a few hours late I will never know but it could have been prevented.
- My welcome/seating chart was not only incomplete and missing wax stamps but the area looked nothing like my photo. Me and my brother spent an entire week setting these designs up for each area and then dropped them into the google shared folders and they still looked nothing like our original photo.
-Champagne tower area was missing bows on the stems. (This tells me they again ran out of time)
-I never once saw my toss bouquet. that was never able to be given to the mother of the bride because it was nowhere to be found.
- the finer details like the bows on the goblet glasses were not only missed but instead placed sporadically on the bud vases. I’m sure it was due to lack of time but this is another reason why this company was unprepared. Had they told me ahead of the day that they didn’t think 2 planners would have been enough we would have gladly discussed adding another assistant because the venue was larger than they anticipated.
-our timeline ran 30-50 minutes behind THE ENTIRE DAY because my wedding party had to make runs back and forth from my bridal cottage to the venue to help decorate because we saw how things were not being done.
-my brother (man of honor) was drenched in sweat from decorating both the ceremony site and reception area and missed multiple photos of us getting ready because he had to take one for the team and finish Setting up the bud vases for the tables in the reception hall. I will never forgive this company for the way my brother cried from having missed out on those moments with me.
- Sams assistant was close to 2 hours late the day of.
-After spending and entire week purchasing, labeling, itemizing the bins, and putting photos of each area. The items were just thrown back into whatever bin was in front of them. So to me that meant they didn’t care at all about anything because my day was over with.
-because of the timeline being so behind due to such poor planning my entire day was a circus. There were photos I never got with because we were SO RUSHED.
I could go on but these reviews can only be so long. I cannot blame Sam for all of these things because she did her best to try and get done what she could as she is just one person. She also was extremely helpful with printing out my place cards for me due to printing issues, and helped me make one of my yard signs last minute because my cricut machine was not working correctly. So for her I am grateful and understand that she is just one person.
I do believe all of the mishaps that occured on the day of could have been prevented with just a quick conversation about adding an extra assitant to our invoice. I expected this company to make my day easier but instead it was a circus. An absolute circus. It has taken me a whole month to even sit here and talk about the day because of how unhappy I was and still am. I even reached out to the owner Stacy Lunsford, to set up a time to discuss how we felt and give feedback and she completely ignored my message.
So my best advice to anyone looking into this company for hire is to DO NOT hire this company and look elsewhere. I surely wish I had. My day was a disaster and as a bride I feel I need to let others know exactly how my day went with this company.
My husband and I worked with Belle Beauty events on a partial planning and design package. While our wedding day was great, and Stacy and her team pulled off a wonderful day with b...
eautiful flowers and designs, the planning process ahead of the wedding left things to be desired. We originally started working with one of her assistants, Sam, who made multiple mistakes that could have been better. One example—when we went cake tasting, Sam didn’t put in the correct address in the calendar invite and we went to the wrong bakery that was a 45 minute drive out of the way—wasting an hour and a half of our time and causing us to nearly miss the tasting at the correct location. Throughout the course of planning, I believe there was only one phone call, Zoom, or meeting that Stacy and her team were on time for. Stacy ended up taking over our planning process after several more issues. While working with Stacy, it felt like I was asking her questions and forcing her to be on top of stuff versus the other way around. Stacy is a very creative person, and we really appreciated how beautiful she made our day and event space. She even resewed a wedding dress strap of mine after it broke! My main piece of feedback: Stacy would be a great planner for a laid back type of bride. For brides and grooms that are more type A and highly attentive to detail, I think a planner with a more proactive, detailed, and organized approach may be a better option.
We worked with Sam as a vendor and were very impressed with the organization and communication. They gathered the wifi for us ahead of time and provided a google drive folder with ...
all critical information we would need to operate our photo booth smoothly. Everything went very smoothly on the day of!
Stacy was wonderful to work with for our wedding. We met her at a wedding show about a year and a half before our wedding, and quickly knew that we wanted to work with her. We were...
impressed with the pictures she had to show us from previous wedding and felt that they matched our vision well. Additionally, she was super friendly, easy to talk to, and super confident! She definitely made the whole process a lot easier on me, providing a whole Google Drive folder of planning documents to help along the way. She drove all the way up to meet with us several times, and was able to find an amazing florist for our special day. While the day of the wedding is mostly a blur to me, I remember her and Sam being *on point* and on top of it all, and from my perspective everything ran rather smoothly. She's so fun, so friendly, and so easy to work with!
Stacy and her team were so amazingly wonderful at bringing my thoughts and ideas together in a way that was even better than I could have imagined. All of her vendor recommendation...
s were wonderful to work with and the day of I didn't have to think of a thing except getting married which is absolutely how it should be!
I was majorly stressed at the thought of going it alone but luckily I didn't have to. Stacy was professional and very open to suggestions while offering her own based on her experience with planning. I highly recommend using this team for long-term planning and day-of.
Stacy and her team at BelleBeauty were absolutely amazing to work with, I cannot recommend them enough. Stacy shined during our first phone call with her with her kindness, wealth...
of knowledge, and willingness to answer our questions/give tips before we even booked with her. My partner and I are very last minute people, which resulted in many late night texts exchanges with questions/last minute scrambles, and Stacy was always there to respond, find a solution and calm us down. The team was present and took care of everything for a 30 day walk through, day of rehearsal and all day for the wedding. They are the true reason that everything turned out so beautifully and without a hitch! Beyond grateful we found BelleBeauty and so excited we will get to see them again soon for my sister’s upcoming wedding!
Stacy was an absolute dream to work with! Like many couples, we started off planning on our own and when we hit a wall, Stacy stepped right in and helped ease any of our anxieties ...
and uncertainties and made wedding planning so much better and even fun! Stacy was easy to communicate with, happy to attend any vendor meetings, answered any and all questions we had, super organized, and professional. All of our vendors made several comments on how organized, professional, and wonderful she was to work with! She made sure we were always taken care of and our needs and wishes were met. Stacy understood our vision and I fully trusted her to make executive decisions when needed, especially during wedding day set up and let me tell you, she did not disappoint! She took our vision and elevated it! Wedding day was so smooth and we honestly couldn't have done it without her! She made sure everyone was where they needed to be, made sure that not only my husband and I were taken care of first, but also our families and wedding party. After the ceremony she had drinks and a plate of food in a private room ready for my husband and I, which was so so needed and a moment we will always cherish. We had a little trouble with the bustle on my dress but Stacy quickly problem solved and was able to not only save the bustle but made it better than originally planned. We also really appreciated her and her wonderful assistant Sam always making sure we had a drink or food, thoughtfully packing up our decorations and loading them into a car at the end of the night, and also making my husband and I each a plate of our wedding food and pie for the next day to enjoy. So we got to have our wedding food and dessert twice! I don't know how she is literally in a million places at once, but she was our go to person and knew every detail with ease, we never had to search for her she was literally always there to ensure everything ran smoothly and answer any questions that either we had or our vendors had. Our wedding guests are STILL talking about what a wonderful and smooth wedding we had even a month later! If you're considering hiring a wedding planner or a day of coordinator, DO IT and make Stacy your girl!
If you’re on the fence on hiring a wedding coordinator I say go for it! We had all vendors booked, all contracts signed and mostly paid for, and didn’t think we needed one but we’r...
e so happy we got her. Stacy is 100% worth it! She made the rest of the planning a breeze. I gave her a rough idea on what I want (lots and lots of pink) and she executed perfectly. She is very detailed. She made sure that even the very minor details, thing that I didn’t even think about (like silverware) was taken care of. She came up with detailed timeline for all our vendors and took over all the communications. All our vendors loved her and raves about how detailed she is. Wedding day came and everything went off without a hitch. I was so relaxed the entire day and was able to enjoy the night. She made sure all the gifts/cards/flowers got sent home to the right person. She even made sure that we have food and cake back in our room! Thank you Stacy!
Stacy was incredible! I can’t say enough good things about her! Like a lot of couples, we thought we would try and get by without a coordinator and I can’t imagine our day without ...
Stacy’s help. Stacy was attentive to our needs during all phases- during the planning process and at the rehearsal and day of wedding. She does a fantastic job working with all parties- the couple (she took great care of us on our day!), the wedding party, our parents, and the other vendors. Super organized and everyone involved in our day enjoyed working with her. We cannot recommend Stacy enough!
We hired Stacy as our month of wedding coordinator as we only really needed help on the day of our wedding. We met Sydney the morning of our wedding who was very pleasant and helpf...
ul. We had a minor weather event which meant we had to rearrange our timeline and move things into our rain location. They both did an awesome job getting everything packed up and then re-set up for our guests. It turned out to be the perfect day!
Stacy was exactly what I needed! I held out for a long time thinking I could plan it all on my own and when I couldn’t possibly do anymore planning and found her she was ready to d...
o any and all things I needed. She decorated beautifully and really made my vision come true. She was always on time and responded promptly to all my questions. I can’t wait to use her again for other bug events! 10 stars in my book! Thank you Stacy!
Erik Bowers and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Stacy Elise Lunceford at Belle Beauty Design and Events By Stacy Lunceford. Stacy was amazing! She made i...
t so all we had to do was show up and enjoy the celebration with our friends and family. She was intuitive and took care of everything without me even having to ask. She showed grace and tact in dealing with delicate issues that came up during the event and I loved that I could ask her to handle things and know they were handled! She is extremely professional and went above and beyond to make our day everything we had envisioned! Without Stacy, we also would not have been able to get nearly as many discounts and amazing contacts as we did! We received so many compliments and wonderful feedback from on how amazing all of the decorations were...especially the flowers and lighting. Most importantly, Stacy made us her top priority and made us feel like family. She made sure everything was taken care of and ran as smoothly and efficiently as possible the day of the wedding. Cannot say enough amazing things about Stacy! Sincere thanks and gratitude, Melrik
Hiring Stacy was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. She is a wealth of knowledge about the wedding industry in Virginia and elsewhere. She has lots of v...
endor contacts in the area and can find someone for practically anything you need. She was so responsive, organized and and remembered every detail I ever mentioned... and then when coronavirus hit, she didn't miss a beat rescheduling and coordinating our vendors responses. There were so many things we had not thought of that Stacy knew were necessary to our wedding, she was an invaluable resource, especially on our actual wedding day. She worked harder than any other vendor and even picked up my veil to help me down the steps as I walked down the aisle. Wedding budgets are tough and some bride’s think they don’t need a planner, but if you actually want to enjoy your wedding day and not stress out, let Stacy handle it! She does an amazing job!
