Blue Thistle Productions

Canadians who had a destination wedding in South Florida and in the year of planning Steph was always extremely responsive and we always felt looked after. Our wedding plans changed a few times and Steph was always flexible and proactive with any changes. Our wedding day was perfect, and our guests all said it was one of the most if not THE most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. For us, Steph and her team completely organized the entire day and looked after everything so we could relax and enjoy every moment.  We appreciated Steph going above and beyond for us multiple times, for example transporting flowers from the wedding to our lunch the next day. Steph is professional, and very personable, we enjoyed every meeting we had with her. We recommend Steph to anyone who needs help planning their dream wedding whether at home or abroad.

y personal and captured who we are, and was also more gorgeous than anything we’d ever imagined. We cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough. And for the full review: I genuinely don’t know where to start a review of Blue Thistle Productions, because everything deserves a rave. Our wedding was so magical that a month later we are still in disbelief. I’m in awe that Stephanie helped us craft something so stunningly gorgeous and yet so completely personal, so totally us. Friends and family told us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. I’d never really believed that “best day of your life” business - but I’m having a really hard time imagining something that would top it. Over the past year, Stephanie made the wedding planning process so much fun. We went into it a bit nervous - we could tell she had a gorgeous sense of design, but neither of us had any real vocabulary for what we wanted. She helped draw out our taste and translate it into something amazing. She has a phenomenal network of vendors she works with, and was able to seamlessly work with new vendors we knew we wanted. She thought of every detail. Not only was the wedding gorgeous, not only is Stephanie really, really good at her job, but she is also so fun to work with. You know those people who light up a room? That’s her. She brought joy, light, and calm to the entire planning process. It was clear how much she cared about our wedding, and how invested she was in making the day perfect for us - and she did exactly that!

tire wedding planning process so fun, memorable, and exciting. Her eye for detail, her creativity, her selflessness, her passion for what she does, and her infectious energy is unmatched. I couldn't have imagined having anyone else be such a huge part of our entire wedding weekend. Our dream became our reality and we owe it all to her. Thank you Steph for making an unforgettable experience, that can often stressful for some, feel absolutely seamless and magical! You are simply the best!

ng!!

erhouse. I cannot express enough gratitude for Steph. Her heart is IN IT. I mean really in it. Her eye for detail, her thoughtfulness, and the way she walks you through YOUR vision and breathes life into what is possible is UNMATCHED. Her personality, her heart, her team. She was my DREAM planner and became someone I could absolutely trust to make great things happen. She is HONEST, REAL, KIND, and INCREDIBLY THOROUGH. She has a delightful and refreshing way of communicating. She and her beautiful team became our friends. Life is still moving fast in all directions, for everyone, as you plan this memorable day, for her as well, and yet, still, even in her most challenging moments she showed up for us. She was meticulous in carrying out our vision, and never wavered in her commitment to lead our amazing day. We planned our wedding from another state, and knew nothing about Miami, she made this process so sweet. Talking to vendors can be overwhelming and sometimes they don't have your best interest, she will detect this sticky situation and becomes the voice of reason to make it right for YOU. She has your back, YOU are her priority. That is a very rare characteristic to have. I found a picture of her watching our first dance, and she is BEAMING with smiles. It was so telling that she was experiencing our day with HER HEART. She was present for us on that day, and many days before AND after. She listens. She hears you, and she wants to make your day as perfect and memorable as it can be... you will FEEL this about her. Her team supported my very large bridal party at so many moments. They became family. We are forever thankful to her for walking her sweet path, and that we got to meet her on it and create such a gorgeous day was a true gift. THANK YOU STEPHANIE for your heart, and your true efforts and contributions to our day. She is the wedding planner you need, she is THE BEST WEDDING PLANNER IN MAIMI, and above all, she is a wonderful person. It's been an honor to work with her and her incredible team. We will never forget the love and care you put in for us.

as on it. My guests could not be happier, and most importantly, with her help we now have the most amazing memories. Truly a wedding for the books and it’s all due to Stephanie’s talents. Forever grateful to you!

we will be forever grateful for the incredible work the team did - we could not have done it without them. Don't think twice, you want this team! Truly THE BEST!!!

nner. She helped me redesign my wedding just a few months before the big day. Her eye for design helped us plan a wedding that was visually beyond my wildest dreams. Her thoughtfulness and carefulness ensured that we had tons of special moments throughout the wedding day. She coordinated with allllll of my many vendors to make our day with so many moving parts flow seamlessly. Above all, Steph and her team genuinely love what they do and it shows. BPT is a team of highly organized, passionate, and genuine people and I will recommend them any chance I get!!!

date guest emails, and even overcoming shipping and supply issues Steph came through on every aspect. The wedding week was smooth and stunning- check out the photos. She worked with the florist to give us EXACTLY what we dreamt of, hand crafted tassels for menus, even hand designed a custom floor wrap for us very last minute when we decided to add it in! Steph and her team made sure every single thing was taken care of- from transporting bridesmaids to ordering fruit platters to snack on to helping venmo vendors the night of the wedding. Steph is an expert at staying on budget and doesn’t pressure you into anything- she has many vendor contacts that saved us a lot of money! She is also willing to put in work to save on outsourcing! Overall she is very solutions driven and despite the MANY challenges we faced during covid (venue researching and changes, guest testing, travel protocols) she had the most positive attitude and ALWAYS had a lovely solution. She kept us sane for a full year of planning, and smoothly executed a massive island destination wedding. Blue thistle productions is simply incredible and very, very necessary for your event!

lenges. Stephanie helped us plan and replan our special weekend many, many times. With each new Covid roadblock with venues and vendors she easily pivoted and kept such a positive attitude. There are so many vital things she brings to the table, but her upbeat and calm demeanor were invaluable to my finance and I. I called her countless times over the past year in a crisis and ended the call more excited and optimistic than ever! From the beginning Stephanie has handled the details I did not want to think about, and the security from knowing everything would be taken care of was priceless. We changed our wedding plans so many times and yet our budget was always forefront for Steph- no she never put us in a position where we felt as though we needed to go above budget or spend more than we were comfortable. Instead, she brought the MOST unique ideas on both design and how to do it on our budget. She took so, so many steps to keep us on track and did a lot of the work herself with no complaints, whether it was designing the invites from scratch, hand writing and building escort displays, driving on her own to see venues, creating gorgeous menus with unique design elements, or even doing the research to find those little extra things that make the wedding feel like us at a great price. She also helped leverage her contacts to help save cost on everything from linens to lighting, and she knows how to negotiate. Overall I am certain we saved way more than the cost of hiring blue thistle! Our wedding is in January and I can’t wait to see all of her design ideas come to life! Her design speaks for itself and I will post pictures after the wedding. Choosing blue thistle is the best wedding decision you can make!

that choice. Stephanie is kind, patient, driven, and a pleasure to work with. She is dedicated to making the event everything you want it to be. Stephanie made us a comprehensive Pinterest board that we collaborated on, adding and favoriting stylistic details that we liked. With this as a starting point, she helped us find vendors that perfectly fit our vision and budget. Stephanie carefully compared multiple options for each vendor, took the lead on all communications, and looped us in for calls and meetings as needed, while taking care of all the less-fun logistics without us. Just as we were finalizing the last of our contracts, COVID upended our plans. Stephanie didn’t blink an eye and methodically went about re-planning every detail over the course of the ensuing months. Then, when one of our key vendors ran into an unexpected conflict, she did it all again for yet another date. Despite the uncertainty of that period, Stephanie remained optimistic and solutions-oriented throughout. She avoided conflicts, leveraged her strong relationships, and found great outcomes for everyone involved. Blue Thistle removed the stress from what could have been a really daunting setback, turning it into an opportunity to make our event even more special. We often reflect on how grateful we are that Stephanie and her team were willing to go so far above and beyond, sticking with us for not one but three weddings over the course of two years! Blue Thistle did an extraordinary job taking our event from conception to reality. We do not live in Miami so it was difficult for us to meet with our vendors leading up to the wedding. Stephanie went in person to our caterer multiple times to ensure that the linens and plates perfectly fit with the design we were looking for. She set up sample place settings while there and sent us photos/videos so that we could be sure we would get exactly what we wanted. The final look of the wedding was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Every detail was thought out and perfectly executed. There were many personalized touches that pulled the entire event together that we would have never thought of on our own. One thing in particular that I want to mention is our escort cards. Stephanie made a whole hanging art work with people’s names on it that was absolutely gorgeous and fit perfectly with our décor. It was such a stunning piece. She went the extra mile to make our wedding personal and gorgeous. On the day of the wedding, Stephanie ensured that everything was as low stress as possible. In the weeks leading up to the event we ironed out all potential kinks and had back up plans for our back up plans. I was so relaxed on the day because I knew that even if things went wrong there was an equally good fallback option. Everything was coordinated seamlessly and because of the Blue Thistle Team we got to enjoy our entire wedding day without worrying about anything other than being in the moment. We cannot say enough good things about this company. The best gift you can give yourself when planning a wedding is to work with someone who will ensure that your wedding day is everything you want it to be and helping you through the inevitable stresses. Blue Thistle Productions is just that.

hat your budget may be because she is extremely professional and capable of handling any kind of event!
