What a pleasure to work with! Top notch wedding coordinator! Everything went smoothly! Easy to communicate with as well. Thank you Holly!
My experience with Holly Dilthey of Betterthanbridesmaids was absolutely wonderful! As my son and his bride lived far away, the responsibility of the wedding planning fell on me. ...
Although it is unusual for the mother-of-the-groom to be in charge, I was still confident in my ability to accomplish that goal. However there definitely were areas that I felt I needed advice and assistance. While I did contact several wedding planners, Holly was the perfect answer for me and what a wise decision it was! She listened carefully to all my concerns and offered her expertise, advice and understanding and was always available when I came up with another problem or question. I could never have made it without her as she not only helped with all the details, but provided the calming emotional support everyone needs for both the planning of the wedding and for the actual wedding day. In the end not only was Holly knowledgeable and organized but became a dear friend. She was worth every penny and I highly recommend Holly Dilthey of Betterthanbridesmaids to anyone looking to add the extra touch and confidence to their special day!
Holly and Julie were incredible. They helped make everything so easy leading up to my wedding and day of. Holly is very responsive, helpful, and honest. I would recommend them to a...
nyone! This was the best money we spent for our wedding! Our wedding couldn't have gone so flawlessly without Holly and Julie!
Holly was awesome! We met three times before and discussed timeline. She made a day of timeline for us and was there from start to finish making everything flow seamlessly. All the...
little things she volunteered and took care of it for us (getting food for party bus, making sure I had back up shoes, bringing me a no spill cup). We were running a little bit late on the bus and she contacted one of the bridesmaids to let us know to head back. Any little thing during the ceremony that needed to be addressed she was there and helping make it better. The day would not have run so smoothly without her and her assistant and I am so grateful! :)
Responsive, caring and organized! I am glad I decided to hire BetterThanBridesmaids. My recommendation to anyone on the fence about spending the money on a coordinator would be t...
o look for other areas to cut expenses--this was worth the peace of mind I experienced and reducing my anxiety.
Thanks to Holly and Julie for their care and attention to make my daughter's wedding exactly what she wanted.
These two...I am not even sure where to begin! From our first consultation to seeing them on our wedding day I could not have asked for two better individuals to make sure our wedd...
ing day was perfect to a T. They asked all the questions that we never even thought to ask, met with us at our house the week of our wedding to pick up our ceremony/reception decorations AND even checked us into our hotel the DAY OF!! These women have THE BIGGEST hearts, are EXTREMELY easy to work with, always had our best interest and never once did I doubt that our day wouldn't turn out perfect with these two on our side. I would recommend them in a heartbeat and I hope you choose them to make your wedding day an absolute breeze so that you can enjoy every little moment without worrying when the cake people will show up at your reception or if you are worried that the boys won't make it to the ceremony on time...the list goes on! They are worth every penny and if you select them you will soon understand why!
I cannot say enough great things about Holly and her team at BetterThanBridesmaids!! My wedding was February 11th at the Marriott Grand, and without her I would have been lost. Fro...
m the moment I met Holly my wedding anxiety was at ease. Working with her you not only get a professional but a friend who truly cares about the little details. She did so much more then she was hired for, and was happy to do it. Leading up to the wedding Holly stayed in constant contact with me and quickly responded to all of my calls, texts, and emails. I could get her opinion on everything from my invitations to how to negotiate with my venue. The day of the wedding I did not have a worry in the world because I had Holly by my side. I was able to really take in the day and spend time with my family and friends instead of worrying about the little details. The day after the wedding I found out that my husband's best man had left my wedding band at the hotel and didn't realize till they got to the church. Holly's team came to the rescue and had it there before the ceremony started. I had no clue anything had even happened. The best advice I could give to future brides is that the day goes by really fast and you want to be present to take in every moment and not stress about the little details that you worked so hard on for the last months. Holly and her team at BetterThanBridesmaids is your answer!!
P.S. leading up to the wedding I joked that Holly was the best thing that had happened to me since I met my fiancé!! That says it all!!

I can not imagine my wedding having been any more perfect. And this would literally not have been possible without Holly and Julie. I originally met with Holly about 3 months befor...
e my wedding when I started worrying about bringing it all together. She immediately put my mind at ease and I knew right away she was the coordinator for my big day. She is extremely organized, punctual, so nice, and went above and beyond for my husband and I. Everyone tells you to expect something to go wrong on your wedding day. If something went wrong I have no idea what it was because Holly & Julie took care of absolutely EVERYTHING and I just had the best day of my life and relaxed and had fun marrying my husband! I can't imagine there being a better duo out there than Holly & Julie.
Holly and Julie did an amazing job from start to finish. They worked incredibly hard to coordinate with our vendors and ensure that our day went smoothly. They were so responsive t...
o any queries and were willing to meet up whenever possible to go over the finer details in person. They certainly took a lot of stress away from me and my husband, to ensure that we had the best day possible. I would certainly recommend them to any couple planning their big day! Thanks Holly and Julie!!
Holly was the planner for a wedding I photographed at Silver Oaks Chateau in June, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the only planners I've ever worked with that ...
not only works within the best interest of the couple, but also makes sure that every one of her vendors is well taken care of. My bride, Amy, absolutely raved about her experience with Holly, which only bolstered my high opinion of her and her business. While Holly's business is newer to the St. Louis wedding industry, she's an absolute gem, and she absolutely should be a part of your big day if you're considering her! She not only takes care of the logistics of the day, but she also makes sure everything looks like it does while you're dreaming it up, she takes care of any problems with a smile on her face, and she has your back no matter what you need. I'm so excited that more of my couples are bringing her on board for planning and/or day of coordination, and I can't wait to have more incredible experiences with her!
They might be a newer company, but they are by far the BEST in the business! Words cannot describe how amazing BetterThanBridesmaids is!!! Holly told me that I didn't need a full w...
edding planner and she was right! I could do all the leg work (so many avenues to research these days), I just needed a day-of wedding coordinator to manage the whole day/pull it altogether, Julie and Holly did just that! They literally MADE our wedding seamless and possible! I did not have one worry the month-of or day-of our wedding (nor did our families) because they thought of it all and did it all for us! Who wants to worry about who is getting the presents at the end of the night or who is going to make sure the DJ arrives on time? Not the bride, groom or any family members...you have to enjoy every moment of the wedding day! Needless to say Holly and Julie were so helpful, hardworking and knowledgeable - on top of that they were the sweetest (and funny) duo around! You know your vendor is amazing when the mother-of-the-bride keeps talking about them days after the wedding! Honestly, worth every penny!!!!!!
