Blush By Brandee Gaar

I had a hard time thinking about relinquishing control of wedding planning to someone, but for my sanity, I knew I needed a month of coordinator (plus my venue required it). I did my research and set up calls with several companies. The first few were horrible – I was not allowed to talk to the actual planner that I was going to be assigned and everyone that I spoke to seemed so stuck up/not fun. I was so disappointed, but I had one last call scheduled and it was with Blush. I was so pleasantly surprised when I learned I was going to speak with the actual planner I would work with. Enter Jess - I knew I was going to hire her within the first minute of our call. We immediately bonded over our love of Disney and dogs. She is so fun, kind, funny, organized, sweet, energetic, and every other positive adjective you can think of. She put me at ease by saying that she was willing to do whatever to make our wedding vision happen. Even though she did not really jump in until the month prior to the wedding, she was so helpful in all the months leading up to the wedding. She was there to answer all of my (many) questions via text, call, and email and gave me vendor recommendations. By the time she took over, I had all the vendors hired and most of the details worked out. She took over, especially with scheduling which was amazing because I could never have organized that in those final weeks when so many final things popped up. Before I knew it, it was my wedding weekend and as someone who gets VERY stressed easily, I can tell you that Jess handled everything so perfectly that I did not feel any stress even when we were thrown several last-minute curveballs. When we had a small hiccup at the reception, my husband tried to get involved to help resolve it and she refused to let him and insisted that he go and enjoy the party. She handled everything so quickly that there was not even time to worry. She also was so sweet and patient with all of our family and accommodated any special request, no matter how unique. My family, in-laws, and friends were so wowed by her – she is unlike any planner any of them had encountered before (same for me). She constantly checked on us throughout the night. She did everything possible to make sure we had the perfect night and we absolutely did. From the day that I hired her until the last second of our wedding when she dropped us off at the bar for our after party (and after when she brought stuff to our hotel), she went above and beyond. There is no one like her. Jess is a wedding superhero; this review does not do her justice. Do yourself a favor and hire Blush. You will be so happy that you did!

tic venue. We feel so lucky to have had her. She kept everyone at the wedding in line and moving forward with great kindness. Bottom line, we couldn’t have done this without her. Don’t look any farther if you want someone who is professional, experienced, patient and so very easy to work with who understands what it takes in putting on a wedding.

of the wedding, she made sure everything went as planned and we had a flawless day! Jess exceeded all of my expectations! You will not regret hiring Jess and the Blush team for your wedding day!

e had everything covered. She really helped make our day the best ever! We did the day-of/month-of package and it was perfect for couples who want to be pretty involved in the planning process but definitely need some guidance. She checked in with me at least once monthly to make sure I was on track and answer any questions I had!

'm pretty sure she was born to be a wedding coordinator. I have never met someone more bubbly, kind, or patient. From the first time we emailed her, to saying good bye after our wedding, she has gone above and beyond for us. She was there for us during every step of the planning process and helped answer all of my million questions and emails (sorry!!) and always had some extra insight/comment to add that was always super helpful. During our wedding weekend our family and friends got to know her and everyone loved her contagious positive attitude and presence. We were sad to say good bye to her and could not recommend her enough! If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further because Jess is your girl!! Thank you so much for everything :)

and so helpful. We cannot write enough positive things about Jess and the Blush company! Thanks for making our day so amazing!!!

ything and set everything out so perfect, they day ran so smooth and when we wanted more time for things nothing was a problem!

othing to worry about Thank you so much for making Amanda and Nate's day so special PS.. she's really funny too!

"Day of" coordinator service at Blush is above and beyond and Taylor worked with us for the entire year we spent planning our wedding, asking and answering all the right questions (most of which we didn't even know we had), then taking over contact and coordination with our vendors about a month before the wedding, and making sure everything went smoothly on our best day ever. She shared ideas, vendor contacts, and "pro-tips", kept us on schedule, and took care of all the details so that my groom and I (and our parents!) could enjoy our special wedding day. With Taylor on-site at the reception for set up, I enjoyed a relaxing morning getting ready (perhaps a rarity on one's wedding day) and was able to savor the day with my groom and our guests. As far as I could tell, the day was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have done it without Taylor!

onths leading up to the wedding, and the wedding day! Brandee took away the stress of planning the day-of schedule and coordinating all vendors, she helped with various set up day-of and her experience helped ensure that everything ran smoothly during our wedding. We had a change in our wedding date and Blush accommodated us and took all of the stress off of our shoulders— informing vendors, rescheduling, new timelines, etc. We loved working with Blush and highly recommend Brandee and her team to all brides!

I planned my Florida wedding from my home in Texas! Honestly, she was the best part of my wedding adventure because she made everything easy and I don’t know how it would’ve turned out without her. I highly recommend Alexis and Blush with their top notch customer service!

lot of time and effort in every detail and we thought we'd overwhelm her with tasks by the time we met to discuss it all about a month prior. Nope! She confidently said she could handle our set-up and strike. I had questions about including our dog and she happily said yes, he can walk down the aisle, too. We handed over our vendor contacts, extensive decor list and instructions and within days she put together our detailed wedding resume and timeline. At this point, we were so relieved to have Jess take the wheel. We still had a ton of last-minute details to work on ourselves but Jess stayed with us every step of the way incorporating it all via phone and email. She always answered in a timely fashion and when an issue arose three days prior (my beloved uncle had to bow-out of his officiant duties - more on that later) she answered my tearful phone call and assured me everything would be ok. And it was - our Best Man stepped up and filled in. I was so proud to finally introduce our powerhouse of a planner to our friends and family during our rehearsal. It was blazing hot and she took her time with us until we all had it right. The day of, she ran the show. I'll never forget how happy I was too see her enter our bridal suite. She was on site and I all I had to do was relax and enjoy getting ready with my ladies. During the reception, she checked in with us and made sure we taken off. Our venue was Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate so yes, we were very well taken care of. She reassured me that she personally escorted our dog back into our honeymoon suite and that he was perfectly comfortable in his bed, with his food water nearby. I was so grateful. Throughout the joy and merriment of the night, I had no idea she was also consoling and comforting my parents while they struggled with keeping a secret from us that weekend. The reason my uncle couldn't officiate or attend. He had emergency brain surgery the day of our rehearsal. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the best night of our lives. Period. Thinking back of my mom finally telling me everything - she described how caring and compassionate Jess was that evening. To anyone reading this considering hiring Blush by Brandee Gaar - do yourselves a favor and contact them ASAP. Brandee has truly assembled the best team in the business. Thank you for EVERYTHING!! ❤️

dding dress. I would definitely recommend her.

a consultation with Ali and she was wonderful, we clicked right away and she understood my vision. Jamie was assigned as my day of coordinator and her assistant was Kim (on the big day). They were in charge of handling the entire days events, making sure all decor was set up and keeping us on time, etc (which is a LOT of work). Both Jamie and Kim did such a wonderful job that my other vendors raved about how easy it was to work with this crew. If you are on fence...hire them for your big day. You will NOT regret it.

was all over the place. I had a vision of what I wanted my wedding to look and feel like, but it was so hard to form concrete ideas of how to make it that way. Ali figured out my vision and she brought it to reality!! An amazingly beautiful, wonderful reality that exceeded my expectations!! The week after my wedding, I thought back on all the details and kept thinking "it was perfect!" Everything was exactly how I envisioned it to be. And I truly have Ali to thank for that. Most of the vendors I chose were from her recommendations, and all of them together made my wedding day more than I could have imagined. Ali and the Blush team know the best vendors and will make recommendations based on the look/feel you want for your wedding ... and your budget! Ali was always very conscious to stay within budget, which was great. She was always so organized and kept me on track during the whole planning process. I was referred to Ali by a friend of ours and I'm so thankful that i was. Wedding planning is super overwhelming and very stressful. There were a couple times that I would call Ali, freaking out about something, and by the end of the phone call, I'd feel just so much better.. it was like wedding planning therapy! Ali made things so much easier throughout the whole planning process. Thank you!! Thank you!!

t or nice coordinator. Highly recommend her.

rely have the words to describe her. Lets just say, one of the things she handled for us really just shows what she can do. Picture it, about an hour until guests are arriving, everything is ready to go, vendors set up, bride and groom on site getting ready, everything blissful, until realization hits. The linens were never delivered!! Our linen vendors had sent our linens to our home and we never received them. Jess got on it instantly and not only found us new linens (in the colors we wanted!) but also got us a refund for the linens we never received! She also didn't tell us until after so we didn't have any stress about it at all. With this, and just everything else she took care of, we could not have asked for a better coordinator to handle our day. She is just amazing and if you aren't hiring Blush by Brandee Gaar for your event, what are you thinking!? Book Blush. Ask for Jess. The end.

always quick to reply to emails when we had questions. We has ZERO problems the day of because she handled everything for us. She had our itinerary created and contacted all of our vendors. She was with us the entire day and kept us on schedule. Having her there to do that made the day feel effortless for me. Brandy Miratsky was also with us that day and was fantastic help as well! Wherever I turned, I knew I had the Blush team's support. Thank you for making our day one we will never forget!

tations and she exceeded all of them, she is soooo detailed oriented which as a bride you need. I didn't have a maid of honor and wanted my mom to enjoy the big day, and Taylor handled everything so smoothly, and perfectly. She is so classy and on it. As a bride she thought of things I would never have even thought of. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her, or how anyone can have a wedding without a planner, it's an absolute must have. On the day of my wedding my hair and makeup girl cancelled and I called Taylor, she was so calm and was able to call my venue and have someone come on site within less than 30 mins, she let me get ready and walk down the isle feeling beautiful, she truly saved the day. If I could give her 100000 stars I would. Love her!!!! xoxo - Steph

ecking in periodically to make sure we were on track and did not need anything. Alexis answered all of my emails promptly and professionally, listened to my concerns, and gave suggestions and recommendations when needed. On the day of our wedding, Alexis was calm and patient, she had everything running smoothly. When my dress strap ripped before the reception, Alexis pinned it back together. She also put together my complicated bustle and took that worry off my mom’s hands. I do not say this lightly, but everything about our day was perfect. Alexis is exceptional! Thank you Blush team!!

n without having a planner. The ladies of Blush cared about both my vision and my husband's vision for the day and created our dream wedding. Taylor and Brandee were always honest with me and had wonderful taste to help me remember the overall goal and theme for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, they were there from the start to make sure everything went as planned. I would highly recommend Blush by Brandee Gaar to any bride in the area.

navigate paperwork, especially when there were mistakes. She also reminded us of things we might forget. Ali was prompt, responsive and professional. On the day of, she helped with making sure everyone was where they needed to be and that my husband and I had a perfect evening. We did not have the easiest wedding and she really made sure all aspects came together in the end.

ause of Ali, nothing went wrong and everything was PERFECT. She is amazing and I am so happy and thankful to have gotten the opportunity to work with her . She listened and voiced everything I wanted, exactly how I wanted it. I am a control freak, so to let someone else help me on my wedding day was a big deal for me and looking back, I really couldn't have done it without her knowledge, experience, & coordination. She is THE BEST at what she does. <3

er, she is truly perfect and the best ever!!!

so special and comfortable, and I knew I was in great hands. Throughout the planning process, she was always very responsive to my emails/calls, super organized (which I greatly appreciate!), proactive with making sure everyone is on the same page, was always thinking one step ahead of everyone else, and always did it with a smile. The day before the wedding and our big day she was nothing short of fantastic! I had a sense of peace knowing she was taking care of it all; she kept me updated throughout the day which went so smoothly. I even joked at the end of the night asking if anything went wrong because it was exactly what we had hoped for. Thank you Alexis for making our wedding day so perfect - We truly couldn't have done it without you and are forever grateful. I am recommending you and Blush to all of my newly engaged girlfriends because there's truly no one better in the biz than you! Thank you so much again!! - Colleen Brady

big day! Taylor is exceptional and helped make my wedding possible and a dream come true. Can’t thank the whole Blush team enough for everything down to the last detail!

en I received them. Many had errors with venue location and date multiple times. I cold called several of these vendors and was able to negotiate better prices - isn't my planner suppose to get me the best price on vendors she uses on a regular basis? The proposed budget was not on target and I had several items (covered dance floor for one) that added thousands to my costs just weeks before the wedding. After speaking to one vendor, he did not know I even had a budget. My RSVP's were mixed up with another wedding and the excel program used for the reception count was not formatted correctly showing much fewer responses. This was something I found and it was corrected after that. It was disheartening at times when I called to ask a question and was made to feel I was imposing on Brandee's time or a call was not returned for a day or so. When items came in incorrectly and I needed an answer there were times I didn't know what to do. My biggest disappointment was the day of the wedding. My bridal party and I were getting ready we were getting no cues or reminders. We were running late and my mom stayed with me until I was ready, She had to rush down to her room to get dressed and help my dad as I was walking down for the first look. We really had no direction from Brandee or her assistant during this time. The photographer was with us as well as our hair and makeup group and they were communicating with Brandee but she (nor her assistant) ever came up to give us any guidance. As we were having our first look and family photos taken prior to the ceremony the guests were not being directed to the ceremony site. Somehow many of them wondered over to the photo area. After my experience I cannot recommend Brandee or her team

big day. She was so helpful during the tasting and was great at giving advice during the last couple of months. She worked well keeping me on track and communicating with our vendors. Really lovely girl, I can only imagine how great their full planning service is.

t the planning process and on the big day. She was always one step ahead and had every possible need covered. My husband said later that hiring the wedding planner was the best money spent for the whole wedding. I believe his exact words were, "if something went wrong we didn't know about it because Ali was on it". She made sure our drinks were filled and made sure we had food. Even made sure there was food waiting for us in the limo on the way home. I had no worries leaving the venue during our big sparkler exit because I knew that Ali had everything covered. Honestly, probably the best money spent for the whole wedding. Worth every penny (and more!)

ng were priceless: she was an extremely helpful resource throughout the planning process, and knowing she was in charge on our wedding day, gave us peace and we were able to enjoy every moment of our big day. I cannot thank Alison and the Blush By Brandee Gaar team for giving us the best gift - a stress free wedding day that ran like a well oiled machine! THANK YOU!!

o answer a question, offer a suggestion, give advice, or calm my nerves. I was planning my wedding from out of town and she was able to offer plenty of suggestions for hair/makeup, officiants, rehearsal dinner locations, hotels for wedding blocks, rental companies, etc. I also don't know how I would have survived the day of without her! Kristen took care of EVERYTHING, I had absolutely nothing to worry about on the day of my wedding. She was there from start to finish, took care of setting up all my details, organizing vendors, and was there through setup/breakdown. Even had my parents car completely packed before the end of the night with all our stuff. I'd say if your budget allows it, it is worth every penny to have a wedding coordinator to help you plan the biggest day of your life. Thank you Blush for allowing me to feel less stress during the planning process! I already miss the communication with Kristen, loved her!

ve things about her - she was always there for my husband and I as we went through the planning stages. She was quick to respond and always eased our concerns. She worked with our vendors and we never had to worry. She provided advice when needed and made sure our day seemed effortless. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. Jordan was her assistant on the day of and she was fantastic as well! They both were very calm cool and collected and the entire day went off without a hitch!

e that everything was in place for our big day and made the night flow smoothly. I would HIGHLY recommend Blush by Brandee Gaar!

initely helped contribute to a seamless and magical day.

without rushing us. Everything went off without a hitch! We were able to just enjoy the day because we didn't have to worry about anything. Highly recommend!

didn't have to worry about a thing. Highly recommend!!!

do from out of state. She was always available via email or phone. She always had a solution to every hiccup. She is the absolutely best at what she does and is always top rated for a reason I am beyond grateful for what she did to make my wedding go off without a hitch!!!

ther vendors and at my venue that it made it even more relaxing and stress free for me because I knew she knew everyone personally and worked well with them. When I first got engaged I didn't think I really needed a coordinator, but since my venue required it, I had to have one. It was seriously the best thing. I HIGHLY recommend every bride use one and I HIGHLY recommend Blush. Other vendors love working with them because they are professional and know what needs to be done.

nable. She got our timeline together, which I thought was amazing, but then day of she really did ensure that things went smoothly. I honestly am at a loss of words to express how thankful I am that Brandee was our wedding planner. I HIGHLY recommend her if you want a fun, sweet and knowledgable wedding planner!

ng up to the wedding as well, and was always very professional. We would recommend her to our friends and family.

attention to detail, coordination with vendors, handling unforeseen issues, inclement weather adjustments , and more were what allowed my Mother and I to relax and enjoy the day without a worry. Thank you Brandee for helping make my big day so wonderful!

nswering any questions we had at any time of the day/night. her professionalism was beyond the standards that are asked of her in her job role.

looked, and the entire day flowed seamlessly. Really you were like a little wedding fairy sent from heaven to make sure our big day was PERFECT! Being out of town, our in person contact was somewhat limited, but you were always professional and reassuring. You were able to take our taste and our vision, and put everything together in the best way possible. You killed it! I'll never forget the feeling I had leaving your office about a month before the wedding, because literally everything I had written down to fill you in on that was important to me, you already knew and were completely on top of it. When you explained to me your understanding of what I wanted, it was better than how I could have explained it myself! Our wedding was the best day of my life because I married the person I love more than anything, and you went above and beyond to make it that much more special. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you.

helped us realize our vision, helped us make informed decisions, and reminded us how this is the most joyous moment of our lives. We had so much fun in the process, and that's what a wedding should be. We will always look back fondly on the planning of our wedding, and we owe that all to Ali and Blush BBG.

rresponding with me since we signed the contract about 2/3 months before the wedding. She was friendly, organized, professional and was a wonderful source of information throught this process. I cannot express how invaluable her aid was to our event. The calligrapher doing the place cards and table numbers for our wedding changed her company name halfway through our exchange and went MIA! I was in a panic! Alison stepped in and played the part of P.I. and somehow managed to find the vendor under her new name. Her ability to keep me calm and keep all the moving parts of this wedding together was amazing. She worked so well with all my other vendors and was even able to resolve a little mishap with one of my signage vendors. She kept me and the rest of our family on track the day of---i swear shes got magical powers--because she would just pop out of nowhere to gently remind us of timing and order of events throughtout the night in the least overbearing way possible. She made the right call when rain was forecasted for our ceremony and had to be moved indoors. Everything turned out beautifully and im so thankful to her and Blush for all of their help and hard work. Huge thank you to Alison and Blush for making one of the happiest days of our lives unforgettable!

ur initial planning meetings were over the phone. Ali was always super accommodating, and took the time to meet with me when I was in town. I am terrible at making decisions, so I was honestly dreading most of the wedding planning details. But Ali knew exactly how to present things so that it wasn't overwhelming. She would suggest and recommend things when she could tell I needed some guidance, but was never pushy about anything, and I never felt rushed. The day of my wedding there was only supposed to be a 10% chance of rain, and our ceremony and reception were planned for outside. Unfortunately Ali had to inform me that there was some weather forming that may or may not effect our plans. And that I needed to make a decision of moving everything inside or taking a chance of keeping it all outdoors. She worked her magic with all of our vendors and the venue to make a new plan work, and the weather luckily behaved. Only I knew what our original plan was supposed to be, and guests had no idea that this was our very last minute back up plan, that ran so smoothly. Honestly, I am so thankful that the weather gave us that little hiccup, because I loved everything about our day, and it turned out even better than what I had originally wanted, thanks to Ali. There is not a single thing I that I would want to change! Ali was amazing!

of my shoulders. I recommend her a 100% .

d everything and was so professional, friendly, organized, you name it. Just the absolute best. I am so thankful I had Blush as a part of my vendor team. Do not do yourself a disservice and try to coordinate your own wedding day or go with a different company; you will not regret choosing Blush! I HIGHLY recommend them!

t above and beyond to fill out table cards which were blank in my bag the morning of. A lot of my guests made it a point to mention what a rock star she was. So thank you from the bottom of my heart Ali! You made my day fantastic!

to all the little details we wanted included, so we got to enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about things coming together. Thank you Ali!

understatement, we had three days to plan a wedding that I had been planning for over a year. Lexie immediately swung into action. She contacted all my vendors and found replacements for those who couldn't make it to Orlando. In three days Lexie did more for me than my previous wedding coordinator had done in a year. You would have never known that my wedding was planned in three days and that was 100% because of Lexie. She kept me calm and organized and I would have never made it through the day without her. She was the epitome of professionalism but was fun and enjoyable to be around. I cannot say enough amazing things about Lexie and I am forever grateful that she was there to help save my wedding!!

are of me, and made adjustments to help. I could have not asked for anyone better on my wedding day.

ed to do, but also asked us what we wanted and made sure everything was to our liking. If we wanted to change something, she said okay. She was easy to work with. She made our day so enjoyable because she had everything done. There was no stress. She handled everything. It rained right before our reception and she was right there to help us and communicate what was gonna happen next. Perfect professional! HIRE HER!!!!!! Thanks Lisa! It was a day I'll never forget!

task of planning a wedding. Hiring Brandee was the smartest decision my husband and I made. She has a gift for designing a wedding that incorporates the wants of both the bride and groom. Brandee was able to calmly handle difficult situations with grace and ease! Because of Brandee I was able to enjoy my wedding day instead of worrying about all the many details that had to be dealt with that day. Thank you thank you thank you Brandee!!!!

y so easy for us. She was a pure rockstar!! Thank you so much Abbey!!!

helped us find exactly what we were looking for. We met with Ali a few times leading up to our big day and from the first time we talked with her we knew she would do a great job, she is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She thought of every detail we were missing, and worked with all of our vendors to coordinate everything leading up to the day. On the day of the wedding she took care of everything, we had nothing to worry about so we were able to relax and enjoy the day knowing we were in good hands. We are so happy we worked with Blush and Ali is fantastic!

taste and the highest level of accomplishment. Most recently, I put the execution of my daughter's wedding at the Four Seasons Resort in Orlando, Florida, solely in Brandee's capable hands... including a complicated hotel contract covering hundreds of rooms and multiple days of parties, floral/draping/lighting needs for a décor theme so demanding that it required immense creative vision, vigorous negotiation, mulit-vendor coordination, bravado and over 22 hours of onsite, through-the-night, set up. She brought me vendors of the highest caliber and oversaw dozens of custom-made pieces of clothing and art, countless special requests, last minute emergencies and the needs of over 40 international guests. As a result, our event was a masterpiece. Brandee Gaar is a rock star and any of you considering her, or her firm, for your wedding will be nothing more than thrilled with the result.

e to let me know that if I had any questions to let her know. Throughout the wedding planning process, there were several times I reached out to ask her for vendor suggestions and she immediately responded with a list of people I could contact. For wedding specific questions, she provided suggestions based on things she had seen at other weddings and her own personal/professional experience. About a month before the wedding, we skyped (I was planning from Boston) and went over all of the big and smaller details. She literally thought of everything, making the process so much easier for me. After talking to her and realizing how wonderfully organized she was, I asked her if I could pay an additional fee to have her at our wedding ceremony at Holy Cross Church. At our rehearsal, Kyle was so friendly, on time, and made sure that everyone knew exactly what they were doing. Having her there left me feeling so calm for the next day. The morning of the wedding, Kyle arrived early and collected everything she needed for the reception. She was just amazing. She made sure everyone was ready-to-go and stuck to the schedule we had created together. She took care of EVERYTHING without me even having to ask her any questions. During the reception, Kyle kept us on schedule, but made sure we enjoyed EVERY SECOND of our wedding. There are not enough words or ways for me to express how highly I recommend Blush, to more importantly, Kyle for any wedding planning you'll need. She will make sure your day is a dream come true.

le to talk leading up to our wedding day. The actual day of our wedding went by without any glitches (that I was made aware of), and for that I was stress free and able to enjoy every minute of our special day, knowing she had it all under control. I would recommend to anyone planning a wedding, not only hire a coordinator, but hire Blush! They are absolutely wonderful! Thanks Ali :)

wanted a right-hand man to be there to take care of all of the vendors and coordination. My wedding day went flawlessly (as far as I know - which is all that matters, right?!). Maria Balestriere was very organized, helpful, understanding and made mine and my husband's wedding day PERFECT. She was more than a coordinator and became a friend. She cared about our day as much as I did and made sure all of the personal touches I added were showcased. I can't thank you all enough for everything. We loved having you all!

rk with Ali and she was absolutely phenomenal! There are not enough words to express how amazing Ali is as wedding coordinator. She is truly talented and has an obvious passion for what she does. Ali went above and beyond to make our wedding day the most magical day of our lives and made us so unbelievably happy. Ali paid attention to detail and did not miss a beat throughout the entire wedding planning process. Ali is personable, easy to talk to, and always made me feel comfortable. She was always prompt with answering my questions and easing my fears— no matter how silly they seemed to be. Ali was full of amazing ideas to make our wedding day special and unique. She took all of my dreams and visions, enhanced them to make them even greater than I could have imagined, and brought them to life. She also referred us to the most wonderful team of vendors! Every recommendation Ali made was a great one! I went into my wedding day 100% worry free (which is a big deal for me— as I am a worrier by nature) and trusted that Ali would handle everything and make it perfect. Ali made sure everything was flawless on our wedding day. If anything went wrong I definitely did not know about it. Ali handled every situation calmly, gracefully and always had a smile on her face. Ali knew exactly what was important to me and advocated on my behalf as if it were her own wedding. I literally could not have planned my wedding without her. If you are searching for a wedding coordinator I highly recommend you stop looking now because you won’t find anything better than Blush! Thank you Blush, and Ali, for creating a wedding that exceeded my dreams!

with all of the logistics. Abbey, our planner, was AMAZING! I can't say enough wonderful things about her. She was an absolute joy to work with and thought of every little detail to make my wedding day completely wonderful. I'm a pretty organized, type-A person, but Abbey is on a completely different level when it comes to weddings. She thinks of everything, from the perfect rain contingency plan (which has to be just as lovely as the non-rain plan) to where your gifts will be stored during the wedding itself to making sure you have a great "exit" planned. Furthermore, Abbey coordinated with all of my vendors - they worked together seamlessly, and Abbey made sure they were 100% on time. She also took care of things like loading my personal possessions and our gifts into the "getaway car" so we didn't need to stop to do that at the end of the night and returning our cake tray to the cake baker so we didn't need to do that the next day. Honestly, if you are carefully researching planners (which I understand, since I spent hours doing that myself last year), then you can stop right now, because you won't find a better planner than Blush. Or Abbey. I can without hesitation say that the best money we spent from the entire wedding was on Blush, and the most fun I had during the planning process was during my planning pow-wows with Abbey. She is phenomenal. Thank you, Abbey and Blush - it was my dream wedding!

estions, big or small, and provided us with wonderful and helpful guidance as we planned our big day. Ali was also wonderful at coordinating all of our vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding-- it was amazing and such a relief. The day of the wedding, Ali was absolutely amazing- she kept things moving, set up our decor, and helped us get down the aisle in one piece! I cannot recommend Blush by Brandee Gaar and Ali Watkins more-- they were absolutely amazing!!

contacted me and we were able to set up a plan. I was living outside of Florida, so worried that I wouldn't be able to do much planning for our wedding in person, I wanted to rely on someone who could design and plan our day for us. We were assigned to Abbey. Our initial meeting went really well and promptly received an email with a list of vendors. I was under the impression that wedding planners would be much more communicative and involved in all the options I was looking for. When I asked questions, I barely received any answers from Abbey so I was confused as to what services I had signed up for. I thought paying 3500$ would cover many services since we were not in Florida and needed someone who would do things for us, but in the end I felt like I could have just gone with a Day of Coordination Package for the help that I eventually got. I definitely feel like I went with the wrong package and overpaid for the services received. I was only recommended vendors, which I could have just found on sites like the Knot or Wedding Wire in the end. My groom tried to make me feel better by telling me that they would probably make the real difference the day of the wedding. We had a second meeting with Abbey a month before the wedding, and she went into all the details. She said she would adjust a few things and helped us decide on a few loose ends and take over, so in the end I was much more calm and relieved of all the stress. She said she would be in touch with all vendors and send everyone a timeline. As days went by, I was getting nervous as I didn't hear back from Abbey and had to pay all the final contracts. Some of the vendors were asking me if they were going to receive the timeline for the wedding 1 week prior, and also inquired as to who our coordinator was as they were still not in touch with her yet, so I was confused as I thought this would have been taken care of already. When I inquired, she promptly sent us the timeline, but it had other people's names on it, and stuff was not according to plan... On the day of the rehearsal and wedding, Abbey was unable to attend due to sickness, so Brandee was there to cover for her. I was in part a little worried as I didn't know how much Brandee knew of all the details we went through with Abbey. But the day of the rehearsal went really well. Brandee went above and beyond expectations, so we were all super relieved and happy about how it all turned out. The day of the wedding, Brandee also took care of us, we were very happy with the overall result, but I think I would have liked to have had more time to discuss plans and go over smaller details like I had with Abbey since she was the one who knew us and went over everything way more in depth because it was important to us, and I had really planned everything months in advance. Even though some things weren't according to plan, we were definitely happy with the final result.

-how were especially helpful to our planning process. We truly couldn't have pulled it off with out her!

really helped make the planning easy. I could not have done without her help on the day of...I truly had NOTHING to do but enjoy my day. Any hiccups that happened were addressed in seconds and my day was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend Blush for anyone looking for flawless and professional service, especially if you are dealing with a larger venue where experience is key!

e day too. I met Kyle Grafton (one of many planners/coordinators available with Blush) through another vendor and knew instantly from her calm and friendly personality that she would be easy to work with. Throughout the entire planning process Kyle and Blush were there for me. They gave me recommendations when I asked for specific styles of vendors and helped me stay in my price points. Day of, the big day, everything went perfectly! Kyle handled everything--planned and unplanned. She was quick to step in for any problems that came up but also to monitor the days events and adjust details as needed. I was so glad we went with Kyle and Blush for our wedding!

e details that Kyle had covered that made our wedding above and beyond. Kyle took care of everything including making sure the programs, wedding favors, seating for the reception, guest book, etc... were all set up and in the proper place. She took care of timing, making sure guests knew where to go and guided everyone and everything perfectly. One of many things that Kyle did for our wedding that did not go unnoticed was that one of guests had a mechanical problem with her scooter and was struggling to get around with her walker. Kyle picked up on this right away and had hotel staff on the spot with a wheel chair. Friends from the wedding could not stop talking about Kyle and how spot on she was . This was not the first time we heard this since the wedding and reception. We can not thank Kyle enough for all the hard work she did for us and how professional she was at all that she did. We want to Thank Lindsey for bringing Kyle into our wedding plans and let her know what a valuable asset you are to any wedding at Champions Gate. Lisa and I know that things would never have gone so smoothly without Kyle and we are forever in debt for the hard work you provided us. Thank You again for the best wedding we could have imagined! If you would like a perfect wedding we recommend contacting Blush and ask for Kyle.

ction thanks to Brandee! She was close by the entire night and made everything so smooth. My 200+ guests were blown away by what Brandee (and a little bit me) put together. I would LOVE to work with her again and HIGHLY recommend her!

without a hitch. She gave us multiple suggestions for back up plans (we were expecting rain on the day of our wedding), and great advice every step of the way. She gave us several vendor contacts that ended up working perfectly for us. Most importantly, she completely reduced the nervous and stress of the entire wedding planning process. She was fantastic!
