Brindle + Oak

t around this was the single best decision I made during this process (aside from like, marrying my husband). Her expertise guided me to make decisions that I otherwise would have had no idea about, she alleviated so much stress from the process, and was just a pleasure to work with. The day of our wedding was so smooth due to her presence and facilitation - I literally did not once worry about how/if things were getting done with it in her hands as I trusted her so much and was able to just enjoy the day. Do yourself a favor and hire B+O!

ng responsive is something our extremely type A group appreciated! The wedding party stated it was the most organized wedding they have been a part of (and they have been a part of a ton :) ), and Caitlyn was the main reason it was such a stress free day! On the day of, she was the true HERO! In between, running to Starbucks for all the ladies, steaming my veil and dress, running around finding all our people and making sure they were in the right spot, ensuring our venue had everything organized the way we envisioned, and always being in the right spot at the right time, it was truly incredible. Highly recommend B&O for the day of if you don't want a whole year planner, we did the day of and it was more like 3 months before planning, which without this I know our day would not have been nearly what it is. Thank you B&O!

e could really get everything done. It was such a relief to know we could trust Brindle and Oak to take care of all of the details and let us relax and enjoy on our wedding day. I would highly recommend B + O's services to any couple looking for a professional and organized team to tie together the details and make sure everything goes smoothly day of. Thank you Haley and Brindle + Oak!

y would have overlooked without her suggestions. Having Brindle + Oak really took a lot of the stress and pressure off of us in the months leading up to our wedding. Having Brindle + Oak there day-of was also a huge help and it made our wedding day so much better. We didn't have to worry about any of the details...they literally had everything covered from when we showed up at the venue until everything was packed up into cars at the end of the night. We would definitely recommend Brindle + Oak and were very happy with Kenzie and Michelle. Thank you for everything!

ay! We planned our wedding from a distance and could NOT have pulled off our day without Megan. I never felt stressed and always knew things were under control and handled! During the wedding day, she was effortlessly calm and always kept things on track. My husband and I (& as we've been told by so many of our guests) think our wedding was the best one ever and it really is because of Megan! I just don't have the words to explain how incredible she was & how perfect our wedding was!!

questions and made sure to cover all the details. Most importantly, she was great at listening to our needs. If we told her that we wanted something a certain way then she made it happen, no questions asked. Our wedding day went extremely smoothly thanks to her great planning. Even with inclement weather and a change of plans due to rain she remained calm and collected and helped us to do the same. She turned what could have been a negative experience into a perfect day. We would recommend Brindle and Oak, and especially Kristen, to anyone!

g. We are not particularly trendy or picky people, and while we had a vision for what we wanted, Megan made it come to life in the most beautiful way possible. She sent us vendor recs whenever we needed them, made decisions that we didn't have opinions on (hello, napkin color), and organized each and every detail for the day. She even drove from Denver to Fort Collins to attend our rehearsal dinner. Megan's cheer and charm was one of my favorite things about this whole process. I can't imagine having gotten married without Megan cheering us on!

of Michelle I can say I could truly be present during my wedding day and enjoy every little moment...instead of worrying about the details. I cannot thank her enough!

to selecting vendors, we were overwhelmed with all the options. Michelle simplified the process by listening to what we wanted and suggesting amazing vendors that matched our needs. She also responded quickly to our countless emails. The day of the wedding Michelle and her entourage were with us making sure the day went smoothly. We could not have asked for a better team to help us plan and execute our wedding.

kick the planning into high gear, Michelle's help was irreplaceable and seamless. The entire team stepped up to make sure our big day went perfectly. I highly recommend using the Brindle + Oak team for your planning. You will not regret it!

t planner and I was worried that I would have to direct all the details the day of which is never fun for a bride. I needed someone I could trust to make sure things happened smoothly and perfectly and Kristen was spot on in every detail and timeline. I got to enjoy my day 100% and did not have to worry about ANYTHING (which is a miracle for a control freak life me!). If you are on the fence about getting a wedding coordinator, even for just the day of, DO IT just for the pure fact that you will be able to fully enjoy your wedding, and that is worth every penny! But don't just hire some random family member to do it. Make sure you hire an incredible team like Brindle + Oak!

planning our wedding out of state and working with Megan truly made the process a million times easier and more enjoyable. Megan was amazing all around and it felt like I was working with a friend instantly from the moment we met on FaceTime. People say you should wait 24 hours to make a decision, but right when we got off that call, we knew we wanted to work with Brindle + Oak. Their team is extremely professional, helpful, and super comforting. Wedding planning is an emotional experience and anytime I spoke with Megan I immediately felt better about everything. During the planning process, Megan gave us great tips and recommendations on everything. She also taught us so much about traditions and etiquette with weddings but also kept to our very unique style. The timeline of our wedding day went perfectly all thanks to Megan organizing everything and coordinating with all of our vendors. While I'm happy to be married, I'm sad that I am done working with Megan on my wedding day!

ce, and if they were panicked about anything they didn’t let it affect my day. They are all around a delight to work with!

rvice and decor and schedule of the day. Every detail was beautifully created to reflect who our bride and groom are! AND the process of getting to their BIG DAY was so much fun and so enjoyable. Wouldn't dream of having a wedding without Megan & Michelle making all the magic happen!!

exactly what our vision was and asked all the right questions to help us get there. So many people remarked to me how they could not believe it was my wedding day because I did not seem stressed or nervous; all the credit goes to Michelle. We were in such capable hands that I never worried once. On our actual today, I was in awe of how everything had come together -- beautifully but also better than we had imagined. Every part of the planning process and our actual wedding day was so seamless. Friends and family were raving about the night and our "cool wedding planner" and I could not agree more. Brindle + Oak listened to what we wanted and brought it to life. For other LGBT couples: my spouse and I were incredibly selective with our vendors and choose people who made us feel comfortable and understood. Michelle and Brindle + Oak did just that! I would recommend them a thousand times over.

ervices can't be beat. Even though I live out of State her help with ideas, organization of details and vendor communication made things run smoothly throughout the entire process. She made the wedding day so stress free and enjoyable. Everything went exactly as we envisioned it. I would highly recommend using B + O to help with your wedding. You will be glad you did!

anner, go no further. Brindle + Oak has the skills and passion to help create and collaborate together to ensure that your celebration is everything. Our wedding was perfect. Perfect! Ooh you are so lucky to work with these lovely humans. I'm going to miss our (almost daily) correspondence.

es unmatched. I would recommend Brindle and Oak to any couple! Our day was stress free and so fun! Megan made everything so easy! I thought I was supposed to be more stressed but didn’t have to be because MEGAN IS AWESOME! Thank you for making the day absolutely perfect!

view the venue any time. This was so helpful as my mom lives out-of-state. Megan from Brindle and Oak was fantastic to work with! She understood our vision and helped us take care of all the details! She was so organized and helpful, especially on our wedding day. She even delivered Starbucks to me at 7 a.m. while I started to get ready!

went perfectly thanks to her!

ined so much of it. She was so organized, working with so many different vendors, and made sure everything happened when it needed to. We are so grateful for having her by our side during that time. We could not say thank you enough! And on our actual wedding day, they pulled out the big guns, and had all hands on deck! Michelle, two assistants, and Megan, the other head planner at B + O, were there making sure everything went accordingly! They totally pulled off the best wedding ever, and we felt so taken care of the entire time! If you're looking for the best planners out there, Brindle + Oak is where it's at!!

ery kind and professional, not a pushover (she'll give you her honest advice/opinion but leave the decision up to you), and is incredibly thorough. The day of the wedding, the wind knocked over and broke my program board, but she was there to improvise and make it work. I can honestly say that I didn't have to worry about a single thing because Brindle + Oak was there. My husband and I were able to enjoy every moment of the rehearsal and the wedding.

ndless questions, being there to bounce ideas off of, I could go on and on. They were so great to work with, super professional and totally on top of everything. Our wedding day came together perfectly and we had zero worries on our wedding day thanks to these ladies!

ast bit conventional, so flawlessly and effortlessly. Couldn’t recommend her enough - hire her today.

om phone calls, to FaceTime, and several “vendor days” Megan was always there when we needed her and we couldn’t have asked for a better planner and friend. There is a lot more work that goes into planning a wedding than we could have ever imagined but Megan did a great job of introducing us to a range of options without overwhelming us. She was fully transparent about the budget throughout the process and offered guidance when needed. Megan and the rest of the B&O staff planned the wedding of our dreams. Thank you Megan!!!!

with a fraction of the beauty they brought to the table. Michelle and Megan know all the right people and can literally make anything happen. Fantastic people. Fantastic work. Truly created a day I will never forget. Thank you do much!

he chosen vendor at my venue (The St Vrain), and I am so glad they were referred! I chose the partial planning package (Brindle) to help me wrap up all the details in a very short 3 months. Megan was a joy to work with--she was not only my planner, but my friend, therapist, and problem solver. She made our day run smoothly, and it turned out more beautiful than I could have hoped for! You will not regret hiring Megan and Michelle!

pen with suggestions and recommended vendors and always paid close attention to the budget to make sure nothing that she recommended was out of reach. She also ran our day of scheduling and I couldn't have survived the day without her. She made sure everything looked exactly as I had imagined and that everyone was where they needed to be. I couldn't recommend them enough. Everyone needs a wedding planner who is as easy to work with and knowledgable and fun as Michelle is.

ade sure that our wedding turned out the way we imagined. She made sure all the vendors knew where to be and when, and was working hard whenever/wherever things needed to be done. There was not one thing that went wrong or wasn't as it should be. We also want to thank Megan, who was assisting Michelle during the rehearsal dinner and wedding day, for everything she did.

ion & wants, Michelle created our playbook which really helped in articulating and explaining what we wanted to our vendors. Speaking of vendors, Michelle matched us with amazing vendors who were so great to work with. The day of went off without a hitch and we have the B+O team to thank! Hiring Michelle was the best decision we made and I couldn't recommend her and team more.

lean on for every little detail and not have to worry about anything on my big day! She had so many great suggestions and just handled everything for me. I highly recommend Brindle + Oak to anyone considered a coordinator!

would 100% recommend Brindle and Oak.

er, once the big decisions were made all the details started to pile up, as well as the heightened emotion of dealing with family and approaching a pivotal moment in our lives. I knew for SURE that I did not want to deal with any of those little details on my actual wedding day, and Megan made sure I didn't have to. From the moment I first spoke with her on the phone, I noticed my shoulders relax and a sense of ease come over me. We hired her for what is called, "day of coordination" which is a HUGE understatement of the result B&O actual provides. In virtual meetings leading up to our big day (we live in Chicago & she is in MI), Megan totally took the reigns, earned our full trust and got a crystal clear understanding of our vision so that she could execute it throughout our wedding weekend. By the time we were 10 days out, she was the MAIN contact with all of our vendors; she was also on call for us for both big and little problems. There was one night I called her at 9:30pm because my father wanted to make sure she understood how he wanted the liquor and ice cream to be set up... she was kind, calm and supported us all to relax and be fully present. She arrived in Chicago 2 days before our event. We met at the venue and handed off 3 boxes of stuff including our rings and important ceremonial items. After that we just left to go relax with our wedding party. She "stage managed" our entire wedding weekend. All we needed to do throughout the weekend was show up and savor every sweet moment. The experience her was absolutely priceless.

top of "would it really be worth the money?". Regardless, I convinced my partner to meet with with Brindle + Oak after I saw they had glowing reviews on The Knot (I also get a vibe from a company's website since I work in advertising - and I had good vibes from B+O's style). My partner was SO resistant, but then we met Michelle. Michelle was incredibly nice, genuine, laid-back and COOL. She exuded professionalism, knowledge of the industry/vendors - but was not pushy or over the top peppy (that's not our style). It's hard to capture in a written review, but Michelle is just awesome - she's someone you would want to hang out with in your spare time and that you immediately feel comfortable with. Not only that - but Michelle owns an incredible joint-work space for wedding vendors. This was a huge selling point for us, because she was stacked with vendor recommendations for us based on our vision and budget and took of our plates having to do a crazy amount of research. She is the ultimate connector for all things weddings and has virtually worked with everyone in the business. After our first meeting - I had my partner onboard to hire Michelle. The package we got included EVERYTHING we needed - a healthy amount of in-person consults and Michelle was always available to us via email to answer any questions. A HUGE thing Michelle provided us with was our wedding story-board. When we met with her, we told her (in very, very general terms that likely provided zero direction, haha), what we were going for. She put together this AMAZING story-board, which essentially brought together all the design components and ideas for our wedding day based off our theme, wedding colors and some really unique and beautiful ideas she had for us! We saw it and it was exactly what we wanted (and so much more than we could have thought of on our own) - Michelle's vision is unparalleled. She just gets it and has impeccable taste. Additionally, Michelle is calm and cool under pressure and is quick to offer solution and was the perfect third party when my partner and I were unsure of something. Michelle stuck with us throughout the whole wedding planning process - for all things decor, budget, logistics, vendor recommendations - she was our go-to and I cannot imagine how stressed we would have been or how much time we would have spent doing all of this ourselves. In the weeks leading up to the wedding - she fully took the reigns in coordinating with the vendors, building out detailed schedules, checking-in with us on outstanding invoices - it really was incredible! The day before and day of - she did everything for us and I was speechless when I saw our venue, because Michelle just made our vision come to life. My bridal party/friends ALL commented how amazing Michelle was to work with and how friendly she was. All I can say is that hiring a planner, but especially Michelle, was worth every single penny and we would have been a complete stressed out mess without her - she allowed us to be fully present and enjoy our wedding. I know I'm just rambling at this point but if you're looking for a planner, please, don't waste your time looking any further. Michelle is the best you could ever hope for. She is the ultimate!

If you want a completely stress free no hassle wedding then definitely use Brindle + Oak!

nlimited advice via email and phone, and I felt so comfortable having her on my team. She was able to fully grasp my vision and concept, and she pulled off the entire day (which included handling little emergencies that I didn't even know about until the day after when she told me how she saved the day!) flawlessly. I highly recommend her for all of your wedding planning needs! It will be the best money you spend, I promise :)

re I did not need anything. I would send her photos of my ideas and she brought everything to life. I have never in my life met a woman that is so organized and dedicated to her job. My family was very hesitant when I said I wanted a wedding planner, no one thought I needed one. Once Megan came into our lives that all changed. Every one of my family members included my husband said that they would not know what we would have done without her. My wedding venue canceled on me two months before my wedding, Megan re-planned my whole wedding in two months! We ended up having the wedding at my parents so she had to find vendors for everything in a very short time frame. She did such an amazing job. She kept me calm through everything and I think its safe to say she is the only reason we had a wedding. My wedding was beyond anything I ever dreamed it would be. I was very upset when my dream barn-wedding venue canceled, but Megan was not going to let me down on my dream. She transformed my parent’s property into a rustic/ elegant dream come true. Megan was there for me since the day I hired her. On the day of my wedding she kept everything on time and somehow control all my crazy family and friends. If you are looking for a wedding planner, hands down she is the best. She helped start my husband and my journey together; there are no words to express appreciation for that. Thank you Megan and her team. You are am amazing group of people and anyone would be silly not to have you be apart of their special day ☺

s-on bride and wanted to make many of the decisions in our planning process, I really needed help sifting through the endless options of vendors out there, as it was quite a daunting task. Michelle was able to perfectly asses my style and my vision for the wedding and provide the most perfect vendors out there for me (that were importantly, in my budget). Seriously, every vendor that she recommended ended up being exactly on-point for the day of. Half-way during my wedding planning, my fiancé and I had to move out of state, so it was also amazing to have Michelle there for me in Denver to help with any last minute details as I was so far away. She was able to get in touch with any of the vendors that I couldn't meet with because of the distance or talk with during the week, as I work full time. Most importantly, the day of the wedding went so well and smoothly! Everyone at the wedding kept commenting how organized the wedding was and how seamlessly everything went off. Though I worked with Michelle for my wedding (and loved her), I have been able to meet Megan too and know that she is fantastic as well as she has planned some of my friends weddings! So all in all, Brindle & Oak was the best decision I could have made for our wedding! They really make you feel like you are planning your wedding with a friend, and both really love and are passionate about their work, all while being extremely professional in their process.

e team even though I was remote. Michelle kept me on track with her impeccable schedule and allowed me to enjoy my engagement by interfacing with my vendors on my behalf. The day itself went so smoothly I was able to truly soak in every minute of the day. It was so helpful to have two points of contact throughout the big day. It gave me, my husband and our entire wedding party peace of mind knowing someone was keeping track of it all. I would recommend B+O to anyone who is thinking they need a planner for their big day or if they're throwing a big party. Thank you so much for allowing us to have our special day.

vision for the wedding and then enhanced it with additional amazing ideas and concepts. Michelle knows the wedding process inside and out, and was able to connect us with top-notch vendors, answer any and every question that arose, and ensure that our planning process was within budget, on-time, and low-stress. After our wedding, countless members of our bridal party and guests came up to us and mentioned what a huge help Michelle had been at helping them problem-solve something. On our wedding day, Yoni and I were able to absolutely focus on being present with each other and enjoying the day's events- there were no hiccups in the logistics, and it all ran on time! Countless guests mentioned that they felt incredibly taken-care of and well-treated at our wedding, which I know is a reflection of Michelle's strong eye for logistics and heart for the overall "feeling" of an event. Many guests even mentioned that it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended! As the cherry on top, Michelle is a calming, grounding, and delightful person to be around, which made the process of wedding planning an absolute delight. I couldn't sing her praises loudly enough.

en I was overwhelmed. She was much more than a Day of Coordinator! She went above and beyond...before, during and now even after our wedding. We HIGHLY recommend Megan and Brindle + Oak!

decorating and cleaning up, they were there for EVERYTHING. I can't express in words how wonderful it was to be worry free on my wedding day, knowing that the coordination was in good hands. Normally I'm a bit of a control freak, but I trusted my team 100% to make sure that everything got done. It was also amazing to be able to delegate tasks to someone other than my good family and friends. It was really important to me that they were all able to relax and enjoy the wedding as well, and without Michelle they all would have been running around all day and not enjoying the party. I highly recommend these ladies as a planning and coordinating team and if you haven't thought about event coordination and planning as something you need on your wedding day, definitely think twice!

ideas. She was also absolutely ON IT the day of the wedding--we didn't have to spend a minute thinking about logistics. More importantly, Michelle was very relaxed, always asked how we were feeling, and put us completely at ease. She was such a joy to work with and we could not review her more highly!

nized, followed up with all my vendors, was early to the venue, dressed professional and most importantly, was calm, collected and made me feel like I could just 'be in the moment'. She took all the weight off my shoulders and ran a seamless wedding. Not only is she smart and confident, but knows how to get things done and improvise when necessary. Anyone looking for a wedding planner would be silly not to choose Megan. She was fabulous.

gem. She is the perfect mix of professional and personable, and truly made our dream wedding a reality. On the day of the wedding, both Megan and Michelle were cool, calm and collected and made the day effortless, so that all I had to focus on was saying "I do." Brindle + Oak is truly a dream team and should absolutely be your first choice for all of your wedding planning needs!

ess Megan knew what she was doing. Megan was so personable and reassuring that I felt relaxed right away. She was great about reminding me of details without overwhelming me. She was also excellent at introducing modern ideas to ensure a personalized and beautiful wedding. Megan is a highly motivated and educated event planner, with an outstanding eye for detail. Without Megan, the wedding of my dreams would not have been possible. I can’t put into words, what her passion for event planning is. She has a true knack for detail that most people dream of having. Megan was professional in every step of the way, but also made me feel like she was a great friend. Megan knew how to help me make decisions, keep me calm, make me feel important, and above all else, remind me of why I was planning this big day in the first place! I can’t thank her enough for all of the help she gave me. Any bride would be truly lucky to have B+O plan their wedding. I wouldn’t have changed anything that they helped me with. As a matter of fact, if it weren’t for Megan, my groom and I would have forgotten to book a honeymoon! If you are considering Brindle + Oak as your personal event planner, think no more. Do yourself a favor and book them immediately, before someone else does!

is a decision! Megan minimized the stress and made it so that we could enjoy the months leading up to our wedding, but more importantly our wedding day. I consider myself highly organized and a type A person, but investing part of our budget in Brindle + Oak was a decision we look back on and are grateful we had enough sense to make! Most people do not have experience planning a wedding and although family and friends are great sources of advice, most of them have limited experience too. Megan is an expert at her graft and is truly gifted at the art of helping others and creating a clear vision. She enhanced our wedding and brought it to life. Never once did she tell us what to do but rather she took the time to listen and then presented thoughtful suggestions. We always appreciated this because we respected her so much. Consulting with Megan on various aspects of the wedding is literally like talking to your lifelong best friend--you just find comfort in having an open ear and a valued opinion in return. If you are looking to enjoy your wedding and planning it, save yourself the stress of being a master of all and put your trust in Megan and Brindle + Oak. I promise you will not regret it!

elp however possible and extremely patient at all times. And then the weeks before and on our wedding day --- Megan & Michelle were instrumental to making everything run smoothly. From developing extremely detailed timelines, to confirming our vendors and ensuring everyone knew where to be and when --- they orchestrated our wedding day from start to finish. My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing - we sat back and enjoyed our magical, perfect day. I highly recommend B + O if you want to have a flawless and amazing wedding!
