I don’t even know where to begin with recommending Allie and the Polka Dot team. Allie is a superstar - we hired her as our Month-of coordinator and she went above and beyond. She ...
was so responsive throughout the planning process, answering all of our questions and providing suggestions. Allie expertly handled changes in weather and kept our worries at ease. She is a pro at developing the whole flow of the wedding from getting ready, taking photos, ceremony into cocktail hour, how to organize dances and speeches - it ended up being seamless and perfect. She is so incredibly organized and took care of everything behind the scenes that we didn’t have to think twice the whole weekend. We love Allie and would recommend her and the Polka Dot team ten times over.
Allie and the whole Polka Dot team were an absolutely indispensable part of our wedding. We hired them later in the process after having postponed our wedding and realizing that we...
were agonizing over small details that we wanted a professional’s help with. We decided on their month-of service to best suit what we needed. The month-of hand-off meeting and walk through put our minds completely at rest, and since Allie had so much experience working with our venue (the Foundry) she knew exactly all the options for use of the space. This turned out to be even more crucial as the weather forecast took a turn for the cold and we ended up having to move dinner from outside to inside the week before the wedding. Allie worked extensively with us on a completely new seating plan and layout plan, updated the rentals order, and helped us figure out all the dominoes so we had a completely smooth lead-up. During the day itself, Allie was a great wrangler and made sure that we didn’t have to worry about anything. Allie’s assistant Marjorie was also incredible, making sure I was hydrated and had a warm layer and had snacks throughout. We felt so at ease with Allie and her team and can’t thank them enough. If you are hesitating at all in working with Allie or with a planner in general, it’s absolutely 1000% worth it.
We originally reached out to Polka Dot after our venue (Gather Greene in upstate NY) recommended them. We spoke to many, many planners, but eventually settled on Polka Dot because,...
a) as my sister the producer says, *always* go with the reference and their style seemed aligned with what we were going for, and b) our initial conversation with Allie and Mandy gave us great confidence in how on top of things they would be. And they delivered the absolute 350% perfect wedding weekend. Since our primary planner Mandy was on maternity leave for much of the early stages of planning, we got to work with several members of the Polka Dot team. Early on, Allie was there at the drop of a hat, willing to get on the phone pretty much any time of day to talk me off the ledge regarding picking this vendor or that, and help us through the often murky waters of balancing quality and budget. When it came to designing the aesthetics, Tracey couldn’t have nailed more perfectly the natural, but elevated, vision we had. Every. Little. Detail. Was perfect—even down to the table numbers which Tracey and her husband hand crafted themselves by spray painting home address numbers and affixing them to wooden blocks to create the coolest, prettiest little details. And when my hair trial went horribly awry relatively last minute (we had to book hair/makeup folks sight unseen because vendors for 2022 were booking fast and we lived across the country in California and couldn’t travel during the early days of the pandemic) Tracey didn’t miss a beat in finding an alternative option, negotiating us out of our original contract, and alleviating all the anxiety I had about switching gears last minute. (I LOVED my new hair guru.) And then the weekend came. The weekend we had worked so hard to create, and we could NOT have been in better hands with Mandy and her assistants. My sister is a producer and often says that her job goes unappreciated because if you do it well, no one notices how much work you put into everything going perfectly smoothly. Well I’m here to say if you do it *exceptionally* well, not does everything go smoothly, but people also notice what a fantastic job you did pulling it all off. *Both* sets of parents couldn’t stop raving about Mandy—how prepared they felt to walk down the aisle, how they knew exactly where to go to do their speeches, how rain or shine they just knew everything would go off without a hitch. And guest after guest approached us all weekend long with essentially the same comments— “your planners are ON TOP OF IT.” I’ve heard a million times over that *something* will go wrong on your wedding day. That no matter how hard you work or prepare, there will be *something* that goes awry and you just have to let go of perfection. Well, thanks to Mandy and her team, that just wasn’t true. The whole weekend was perfection. And we’re *very* particular people with *very* high standards. If anything at all went wrong, we had no clue. No one did. And though we definitely didn’t have the budget to pick the most expensive vendor in every category, we felt like Polka Dot helped us compile the VERY best team of vendors. We’ve gotten so many compliments about having the best food, drinks, music, venue, decor, even down to the *welcome bag snacks* which people couldn’t stop raving about. And honestly, biased or not, we’d have to agree. It was the absolute perfect weekend, and we were so grateful to have the whole Polka Dot team behind us to pull it off.
We used Polka Dot Events for month-of coordination and specifically want to rave about Tracey. We had booked Polka Dot about a year and a half before our actual wedding date, so we...
had gone through a few coordinator assignments leading up to the big date as they shifted around wedding and staff rosters and we ended up working with one of the co-founders, Tracey. We are so glad we did. She was incredibly helpful, patient, and organized. As a Type A bride who had done a majority of the planning, I was nervous to hand off the final execution of my "baby" but I don't think I ever had to follow up with Tracey – everything was handled quickly and efficiently ahead of our weekly touchbases and the actual event went off without a hitch day-of. I always heard from brides to be prepared for something to go wrong... and I honestly don't think anything did due to all of vendors' incredible diligence. Thank you for everything, Tracey!
Best money you will spend on your wedding day! Total professionals and you just know you are in great hands from the get go.
Allie helped my sister with her wedding and was amazing...
. I knew i wanted Polka Dot's help for my wedding.
Mandy was incredible and went above and beyond. She asked all the right questions and had thought of everything before we even realize we needed it!
Day of Mandy and her team were the most calming presence were on top of everything and there with us right until the very end.
Can't recommend them highly enough!!
Where to begin about Allie and her team?? Working with Polka Dot was an absolute lifesaver for my husband and me, and from our very first phone call with Allie we knew that she was...
the perfect wedding planner for us!! Allie is not only incredibly organized, talented, and kind, but she is also calming, funny, and excellent at working with all personalities. Throughout our 18-month wedding planning process, she was highly responsive and detailed, which kept us on track and made the planning process much more enjoyable. We always looked forward to talking to her, and she was extremely flexible with different design ideas and last-minute changes. My husband and I are quite busy, but while working with Allie we viewed the wedding planning process as fun and enjoyable rather than stressful. Our friends and family could not believe we were not more overwhelmed, but it truly is because all of the heavy lifting was handled by Allie!! On the day of our wedding, Allie's team was incredibly organized, professional, fun, and well-managed. They kept our wedding day running smoothly despite needing to coordinate nearly a dozen different vendors. My husband and I had the absolute best wedding day and weekend we could ever have imagined, and in large part it is due to Allie and the remainder of the team at Polka Dot!! We cannot recommend them highly enough!!!
Allie and her team are absolutely FABULOUS.
Our wedding weekend was perfect — and for that, I give Allie 100% credit. Although I’m sure there were small issues on our day, Allie h...
andled absolutely everything which allowed us (the bride and groom) and our families to relax and enjoy the celebrations.
When choosing a wedding planner, One piece of advice I heard time and time again was that you should make sure you “click” with your wedding planner as you will be spending a good deal of time working together. This could not be more true, and Allie is really a JOY to work with. She is incredibly high-energy, upbeat, and quickly became our go-to advisor and confidante for all things wedding related. I would absolutely work with her again for another event and have already recommended her to friends.
In short, I’d highly recommend working with Allie — she will make the process so much easier, less-stressful and date-I-say enjoyable. She is worth every penny; her connections and planning knowledge will actually save you money in aggregate. This was truly one of the best wedding decisions we made!
Working with Polka Dot was an amazing experience from start to finish, and they were truly integral in helping us pull off what was one of the best nights of our lives! We opted fo...
r the full service planning since we both were very busy with work and had picked a completely empty rental space as our venue, knowing we’d have to bring in 100% of our supplies via vendors. We had in our mind a vision for what we wanted the night to be like, but Polka Dot took our high level guidance and brought that vision to life. During the planning process, Tracey, Allie, Mandy and the rest of the PD team helped us think through each and every component of the wedding – they gave us options for each and every vendor (which included a band, caterer, florist, two different rental companies, stationary, lighting, valet, etc.), keeping in mind our very specific tastes and our desire to work with local vendors. They helped up manage the planning process, setting useful timelines / deadlines for each key decision while helping to guide us on where we should focus our attention and budget to get the best result.
PD nailed every vendor selection / recommendation, helping us to select fantastic people to work with - they did not lead us astray once! In terms of day of execution, the PD team were absolute all stars in making sure the night went according to plan and most importantly, that my wife and I could enjoy it to the fullest extent without having to worry about something going wrong. As type A personalities, it is generally difficult for my wife and I to put our trust in someone else to run the show, but PD made sure everything was handled while walking the fine line of keeping us informed as we requested. They were on site from 10AM to 2AM the next day, directing all vendors on installation, design, etc. and making any and all executive decisions to create the exact ambiance we wanted. We were able to not only relax, but truly enjoy the wedding in ways I hope most couples can on their special day.
The whole PD team was kind, thoughtful and fun to work with, and we couldn’t imagine a better crew to have partnered with to make our wedding a memorable occasion for us, but also our family and friends. Thank you for everything!
Kim and Allie at Polka Dot Events were, in a word, AMAZING! This was my first child’s wedding and there are so many details involved, it could easily be a full time job to get ever...
ything together. They held my hand from start to finish and although I hired them as “Month of” coordinators, they were available for multiple phone calls and any questions or concerns prior to that point. On the day of the ‘hand off’ they took control of everything that needed to be done to pull off an incredible event. From when to pay vendors to a detailed timeline on the day of the wedding. Kim was with us from 10am when the hair & makeup people came, until the last guest left the venue. She was an absolute pleasure to have around and had everything completely under control. I am not exaggerating when I say I could not have pulled off such a wonderful wedding weekend without the help and guidance of Kim and Allie at all Polka Dot Events!!
Hiring Allie was the best decision I made. I had a long engagement over covid and Allie was with my *virtually* every step of the way. She was responsive, understanding, and made t...
he experience fun and wonderful even through a pandemic. I really enjoyed working with her and am very detailed oriented so was pretty involved in the process. The day of the wedding was perfect. If there was a hiccup I wasn't aware of it, my husband and I got to enjoy every minute of the day and can honestly say we had the best night of our lives. I couldn't have done it without Allie and am thankful I didn't try
We can't thank Allie and her team enough - we originally hired her in 2019 for our spring 2020 wedding for month of planning. She saw us through what turned into 15 months of re-p...
lanning during the pandemic with the calmest, sweetest, and most re-assuring attitude! She is an absolute joy to work with and the day of went so smoothly and was so much fun. We have already referred Pdot Events to friends and would recommend that anyone hire them!
We simply could not have gotten married with Tracey and Allie’s help! Hiring them was HANDS DOWN the best decision we made for our wedding. When it came to design, Tracey took th...
e time to help us cultivate a vision for our wedding when we weren’t quite sure what we wanted. She provided honest advice and worked with us to make our dream wedding happen. She pays amazing attention to the little details that we would not have thought of on our own—but all those little details came together in the most beautiful way on our wedding day. All of our guests were wowed! Allie was with us on the day of our wedding—and not only was she the most unbelievable coordinator, making everything run SO smoothly (even a last minute change to move the ceremony inside), she had the absolute best attitude and was so positive, reassuring and fun. Together, Tracy and Allie are the dream team. Thanks to them we had an unbelievable wedding day and threw a party that all our family and friends continue to rave about. We can’t thank them enough!
We had a wonderful experience working with Allie and her team at Polka Dot Events. We hired Allie just three months before our wedding date as COVID has disrupted our original pla...
n, and we needed to transition to putting together a whole new backyard wedding for 100+ people. Working on a very tight timeline and starting from scratch, Allie did a fantastic job bringing our vision to life and drastically reducing our stress levels by taking the lead on all wedding design, timeline, and rental/vendor coordination. Polka Dot was incredibly responsive to all our questions and requests, and had great attention to detail. On the day-of, Allie and her team made sure everything went off without a hitch and solved any issues before we were even aware. We received many compliments on how well organized and planned our wedding was. We could not have done it without Allie and would greatly recommend her and the Polka Dot team to anyone planning a wedding.
I originally connected with PDE back in 2019, and they so graciously stayed with us and honored our contract through two pandemic date changes, a venue change, and eventually downs...
izing from 150 guests to 18. When we lost our original venue and photographer, they put together a list of fantastic recommendations, including the vendors we ended up hiring for round 2. I cannot express how wonderful they were to work with, both throughout the tumultuous planning process and on the day of. Allie is not only incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and communicative, but she is also a truly genuine and warm person. She went above and beyond to make us feel supported from the minute we hired her until the final minute of our wedding day. I am a total control freak (working on it!), but I trusted that I didn't have to worry about anything in the weeks before the wedding. In particular, she handled changing COVID protocols and communications with our guests and vendors so smoothly. Day of, Allie and Isabelle absolutely rocked it — the photo timeline, vendor management, venue setup, ceremony, everything! It's hard to express in a review how grateful we were to finally get to relax and CELEBRATE after such a stressful time, and P Dot made that possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you. xx Liza & Gav
I cannot speak more highly of Polka Dot Events! Allie and her team were the ultimate pros in the month+ leading up to the wedding and on the day of. From start to finish, Allie di...
dn’t miss a beat. She saw any potential issue, jumped to fix it, anticipated our needs before we knew we had them, and was overall just a pleasure to be with and have by our side during our wedding! Even with month of coordination, Allie will begin working with you further out from that to get to know you, your vision, your vendors. Once you "hand off" to her about a month out, I felt such a weight lifted knowing that last minute vendor logistics were taken care of and in expert hands. I like to be very involved and was so close to everything during the wedding process, but I was fully able to let go and enjoy the wedding and not think about the flow or whatever was happening behind the scenes because I was SO confident in Allie and her Assistant. Best money my husband and I could have spent. HIGHLY recommend!
Allie from Polka Dot Events was absolutely hands-down the best wedding planner. She was a total pro in handling all of the vendors (some which proved to be difficult to work with)...
and she made the entire process painless for us. She completely got our style and her recommendations were all on point. She was easily accessible and was flexible to our schedule when it came to planning long distance. Working with Allie felt like working with a friend / a more personalized experience than the other cookie cutter wedding planners that my friends had previously worked with. We wanted our wedding to be memorable and really resonate with people - she completely nailed it and made everything we came up with happen!! If you want someone who get it - that is 100% Allie!
Allie Beik, and her team at Polka Dot, were by far the best money we spent on the whole wedding weekend. Not only did she take phone calls with us before our month-of coordination ...
began, once we were in the final month she was quick to answer questions and swoop in to take over any remaining planning activities.
Outside of being an organized project manager, she was always calm and fun to work with. The last week, when tension starts to get high, she was there to calm all of our nerves and crack a perfect joke to calm us down.
Additionally, I'm pretty sure with their expertise, Polka Dot pays for itself. In the last month, Allie steered us to make educated decisions as we were adding final touches to our weekend, and prevented us from spending on suggestions from other vendors that we really didn't need.
Thank you, Allie and Polka Dot, so much for all of your help!
From the moment I reached out to Polka Dot Events for our month-of-coordination, my blood pressure dropped back down to a healthy level. My husband and I were overwhelmed with the ...
nuances of planning a multi-day wedding for over 250 people while both in our respective residency programs. Tracy was amazing and made our 3 day wedding run seamlessly. She kept my husband and I organized during the weeks approaching our wedding, helping us solve any hiccups that came our way and fixing potential problems we hadn't even realized were possible before they happened. She streamlined our remaining tasks and designed our wedding weekend timelines so that we could get the most out of each portion of our wedding. Besides being a rockstar, Tracy is incredibly sweet and it felt like she was a part of our family. We are both so grateful to Tracy and her team! You could not ask for a more organized, professional and warm team to help keep you focused on what's really important - the magic of your wedding day.
You want Allie from Polka Dot Events on your team. My husband and I reached out to Polka Dot for month-of planning services. From initial correspondence, to our hand-off meeting, t...
o our big day, she was an absolute super star. So organized, so attentive, always one step ahead. When my husband and I originally started planning, we were skeptical about hiring a planner or coordinator. Weddings are expensive! Did we really need to spend thousands extra? We did. We really did. Now, a few weeks after our wedding, I can confidently say that Allie was 100% worth every penny. She handled essential communication, wrangled relatives for photos, set up our decorations, made sure the ceremony and reception were timed correctly, fed the bridal party, made sure our vendors were paid and tipped, researched after party venues and made us a reservation, and even grabbed us a little plate of hors d’oeuvres when we were hungry during cocktail hour…. plus a million other little tasks. The day was amazing because it was virtually stress-free. Allie played a huge part in that. We knew she had everything covered. As a result, we have nothing but happy memories from our wedding, and that is priceless.
We loved working with Tracey and Polka Dot Events. We got married at 501 Union in Brooklyn in November of last year. 501 Union is a space that requires a lot of things being broug...
ht in (catering, rentals, music, etc.) and so we went with the month of coordination and it was worth every penny. Tracey knows weddings and is very flexible and makes you feel like yours is her top priority! She has great vendors that she recommends working with and is good at matching you with people based on what kind of wedding your throwing. She is also responsive, thoughtful, quietly confident and savvy at navigating different problems. We loved that she would speak up with her opinion if we were asking something that she really didn't agree with (it happened once and she was 100% right on with her recommendation). Tracey is someone you can absolutely trust - we won't throw another event without her help!
I am so pleased that we decided to book Polka Dot for the "month of" planning service. We worked with Allie and Kristi who are both very professional and easy to work with. Unless ...
you yourself are already a professional event planner, I highly recommend hiring professionals to make sure your wedding goes off without a hitch! There is a reason event planning is a profession and Polka Dot is the best of the best! For the "month of" they take over the coordination of all your vendors, help plan your timeline for bill payments and any tasks you have left to do, they help make reception extras like signs, gift bags...basically anything you can think of they will help with.
Kristi was truly a god send on our wedding day, she made sure that the small hiccups we encountered were corrected easily (I didn't even know there had been any minor issues - like the shuttle not knowing where to drop our guests off - until after the fact). Kristi was so organized, made sure myself and my bridal party knew where to be and what to do at all times, she made sure all our vendors knew their roll and the plan and she worked very well with our venue coordinator. I love polka dot, we couldn't have had the wedding of our dreams without them!
Allie from Polka Dot was a huge asset in planning our wedding! She took care of so many details leading up to the big weekend, and her presence at the wedding allowed us to really ...
just enjoy our celebration (and not worry about the every-changing weather forecast and guest list). Knowing she was on board lowered my stress level about 300%.
One of our vendors commented that Allie was exceptionally on top of things, and my bridesmaids told me that they wished had an Allie to help them organize their lives all the time! To boot, she is a sweet, fun person who is a pleasure to work with. I would recommend another bride works with Allie in a heartbeat!
I'm so glad that we met Tracey Goldstein of Polka Dot Events at the Toasted Brooklyn bridal expo. She certainly was one of the most invaluable vendors we booked for our wedding. M...
ost vendors we met that day sent out a standard, automated e-mail to everyone who left their address on their clipboard. Tracey, however, took the time out to send a personalized e-mail. She remembered that we were hoping to have our reception at 501 Union, but knew that we were having difficulty securing a date at our church. She wished us luck in meeting with the church and told us to feel free to contact her once we had a date and venue settled. That attention to detail was what I wanted in a wedding planner. I made sure once we had the church and venue squared away that we book Tracey.
She was very cool and low pressure in our initial meeting, which I appreciated. A wedding is stressful enough that you don't want to have someone aggressively pushing their services, adding additional pressure and stress on you. Without any hesitation we booked her for month of coordination. Her cool demeanor was maintained throughout the whole process which was such a relief. I could have been a nervous wreck with all the details that go in to a wedding. I wasn't thanks to Tracey.
From the first meeting she was great with recommending vendors. I was stumped when it came to transportation and makeup. We ended up booking her recommended vendors and they were amazing!
I had so many ideas for the wedding that I was in love with, but not the slightest clue how to execute them. Tracey and Allie were key players in this aspect. I would share an idea with Tracey and she came up with a plan on how to execute it. Everything exceeded my expectations. From our guest book to favors, to lists of activities to occupy our guests in between the ceremony and reception, she had a solution for all of it! I NEVER would have been able to pull off all the little details without Tracey and her assistant Allie. They made sure that no detail was over looked.
Tracey and Allie run an amazing month-of planning team. From our initial hand-off meeting through the wedding day, every single request/detail was perfectly handled. It was so nice...
to get one email a day with all of the follow up items organized into one check list, versus having to coordinate separately with all of individual vendors. And when it came to day-of, Allie made sure that everything was handled with ease and a smile, ensuring that the bride/groom felt no stress whatsoever. I would absolutely recommend working with Polka Dot! Worth every penny!
Seriously, look no farther. Tracey was our month-of wedding coordinator and we cannot recommend her enough!
My sister and I met Tracey at a wedding event at the Wythe Hotel las...
t year. We were immediately drawn to her spunky personality and friendly demeanor and my sister hired her shortly thereafter for her April wedding. I’m generally pretty OCD / organized and never thought that I would need a month-of, but after living through my sister’s wedding and understanding how key Tracey was to the entire process, I did not think twice about hiring her for our wedding six months later.
Tracey goes above and beyond to ensure that everything goes smoothly on your wedding day. She never said no – on several occasions, she agreed to last minute meetings with my husband and I or our vendors and she went out of her way to tour the space with us since it was a bit unique. She was also balanced – she knew when to make decisions on her own (and we 100% trusted her to do so), but she also knew when to ask for input. She was super organized and the program that she used kept everyone in line. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.
I cannot stress the importance of having someone take care of logistics the month of your wedding. You will inevitably be stressed with last minute details and having Tracey to lean on was a dream.
We had our wedding in September of 2015. We decided to go with a wedding planner and looked through many of the offerings for wedding planning in NYC. We decided on Tracey since sh...
e offered the best service for the price range. We were extremely happy with her service and had a wonderful time at our wedding. Many of our guest commented on how smoothly our wedding went and we were very happy with Tracey's attention to details.
Tracey is extremely helpful at recommending different vendors. This includes the venues, catering, photography, DJs, and entertainment. She was willing to work with our needs and helped us find the perfect venue where we had our dream garden wedding. The catering service at the wedding was also exquisite and we loved how we didn't have to worry about anything on the day except enjoying the moment.
I will provide a set of reviews for each of the segments and how Tracey helped us out:
Venue: It's hard to find a garden wedding in NYC for an affordable price. We had a small wedding which made this even harder. After looking at several locations in NYC, Tracey realized what we were looking for was not in the city. Tracey then recommended several locations outside of the city which were very convenient to get to by public transport, and one of them turned out to be the perfect choice for us. The location even included upscale catering for a very good price, which helped keep the price tab low.
Photography: My wife and I both had parents who were coming from abroad and didn't speak English. Tracey was able to find a photography studio which spoke our language which made the photo/video process much easier on wedding day.
DJ: Tracey found us several choices and we eventually picked one. We didn't really have that much experience picking DJs and Tracey was very active in helping us find the right one. I would say the DJ's performance on the day of the wedding could have been better, but overall we were satisfied with the DJ we had.
Entertainment: We wanted some additional entertainment at our wedding so guest can enjoy themselves and Tracey gave us many ideas. Her suggestions were very solid and we got many compliments from guests.
Overall, we are very happy with Tracey's performance and would recommend her for people who are looking to go through their own wedding without a big fuss. We enjoyed the process and could not have done it without her.
Tracey is an exceptional wedding planner. She was able to manage fully planning 2 events for our Pakistani-English wedding weekend, balancing our budget and various cultural elemen...
ts that she was not familiar with previously. As working professionals with limited time on our hands, we really appreciated her straightfwd, organized, and timely approach to everything. When I requested changes it was never a problem for her, and she would often creatively make things happen when we'd hit any bumps in the road. Planning 2 intercultural events over a weekend in NYC with 120 international guests is no small feat, but Tracey pulled it all off seamlessly and in fact was a pleasure to work with. Our wedding was the best weekend ever not only for us but for all our friends and family too. THANK YOU!
Tracey Goldstein of Polka Dot Events did an incredible job helping me plan my wedding and most of all for day-of-coordination. I initially saw a Groupon for her services and decide...
d to purchase it after doing some research and contacting her directly to check her availability for my wedding date. It was the best $949 I spent!
The month before the event, we collaborated on a timeline for the wedding day along with a list of the vendors and bridal party contact info. We clearly delineated her role and those of others involved in the wedding in the schedule/timeline.
The week before the event, she confirmed arrival times and reviewed the schedule with each of the vendors. She called everyone from the restaurant for the rehearsal dinner to the makeup artist, DJ/MC and priest. She was great with following up on various tasks and loose ends that probably would've stressed me out the week of the wedding.
Thanks to Tracey's help, the wedding weekend was absolutely flawless. I did not have to worry about anything because Tracey was able to handle any issues that came up. I had a sigh of relief when she took charge of the ceremony rehearsal and had us all out of the church in an hour, something unheard of in most Indian Christian weddings. When certain people, like the organist, did not attend the rehearsal she made sure that they were aware of their role and would be present the next morning. The next morning at 7 am, as promised, she came to the suite where the bridesmaids and I were getting ready. I simply handed her my reception outfit, some odds and ends to be given to other vendors, and the tip for the bridal attendant. I was pretty much stress-free for the whole day. She made sure everything was set up for the ceremony and reception. She even held onto a gold bracelet that had broken as well as my husband's wallet and phone!
Based on what I saw and heard from friends/family, the big fat indian wedding with over 300 people was a huge success!Book PDE!
