Bustle and Lace

hired Michelle, wedding planning became way less stressful and more fun. Michelle was genuinely so excited for us and for our wedding celebration. “Above and beyond” doesn’t even begin to describe all of the things she did for us during wedding planning: she spent hours on zoom calls with us patiently helping us make decisions, she communicated back and forth with all of our vendors, she was so thorough and responsive to emails, she created the most organized spreadsheets, checklists, and to-do lists, she visited our venues on her own time to get the lay of the land, and I could go on. She really took the time to get to know us and help us make our vision a reality. Michelle put not just her labor but her absolute heart into planning our wedding. On the day of the wedding, she handled everything as it came up, smoothing over any issues that arose without us ever knowing so that we could just be present and enjoy our day without worrying about the logistics. Along with her enthusiasm, Michelle is just incredibly kind. She has the most calming presence, which was super helpful throughout our planning because our heads would be spinning from trying to figure things out on our own and she would just quell all our worries and take everything off our hands. Truly, she was our favorite person throughout the wedding planning and we recommend her to everyone we know who is getting married. We got so many compliments from family and wedding guests telling us how impressed they were by Michelle and what a lovely person she is. If you do nothing else, hire Michelle. She is phenomenal at what she does, she has a gift for creating magic, and she single handedly changed our wedding planning experience from stressful to stress-free and enjoyable. Michelle is the best!

alm, and thorough. Throughout our prep meetings, she helped us realize and prepare for things we hadn't even thought of and gave us great ideas! On the day of the wedding, she was in the background seamlessly taking care of everything. We planned our wedding in three months and my friends said it was better organized than weddings that have been in the making for years! Thank you for everything, Michelle! Even though our wedding was just a week ago, we already miss you!

had leading up to the wedding were all super helpful. Michelle kept us organized and on top of things, contributed great ideas, reassured us in our decisions and made sure everything would work. The week leading up to the wedding, Michelle handled all vendor communication, making it a much less stressful week for us and letting us enjoy it! Everything went perfectly on the day of our wedding, Michelle had everything handled which kept us totally calm and relaxed. We feel so grateful to have worked with Michelle and will continue to refer anyone we can to her!

el like I knew what I should be doing next to stay on track. In all honesty, it all came together because of her organization and attention to details. She was professional, responsive, and supportive, with great communication. On the day of, she created the timeline and skillfully managed all of our vendors. She also helped set up decor and helped my family and friends know what to do. I was worried that on my wedding day I would feel too much like a "host" and she really helped take so much off my shoulders so I could enjoy the experience. Would recommend 1000% for any event.

cationed decisions that we otherwise would’ve likely made mistakes on and spent more money than needed. She was incredibly responsible and a had a helpful solution to any problem or question that we had. The wedding planning process can be stressful, but she made sure to keep us on track and take the load off of our plates. Every time I talked to her I felt way better than before. We talked to a bunch of other planners and our first conversation with her sealed the deal that she was the one for us. The day of our wedding was so well organized and everyone commented on how seamlessly things went (especially since we had a nontraditional day of timeline and a lot of moving parts). The day of I could could just enjoy myself while she handled everything behind the scenes. My wedding day was incredible and I attribute a lot of that to her

efore our wedding day, we got some unfortunate news that necessitated us to cancel our reception venue completely. This terrible news was handled amazingly well by Michelle. She talked though the situation with my partner and I and gave us options. We ended up having the reception in our family's backyard and needed to change the plans for the caterer, alcohol, DJ, and cake all in the last few days. She went above and beyond and stepped up for us in the final days and hours before our wedding, and was an absolute superhero on our wedding day. The amount of work she did was phenomenal. Some extra details that stand out to us are: ●     All of the work and coordination to get things running smoothly a new venue in such short notice (and with all the changes that had to occur from our plan). ●     Her going out of her way to get my mom a meal for her dietary restriction ●     Pinning on the groom and groomsmen's boutonnieres ●     Sheltering the bride from the rain ●     Passing out appetizers  ●     Passing out cake ●     All of the myriad of things she did that we don't  even know about. The amount of work she did for us blows our minds. Choosing her was, in hindsight, the best decision we could have made!

and and I continually would say to each other how happy we were working with Michelle and how supported we felt every step of the way. Michelle's advice, attention to detail and willingness to discuss any concern we had truly made the planning process that much easier and our day extra special. Our only regret is that we didn't utilize more of her planning services! Our experience working with Michelle was exceptional - it's hard to know what to expect going into the wedding planning process and I was blown away by Michelle's support - she was always prepared, thorough, and very thoughtful. If you are on the fence about working with a planner - look no further than Michelle - she's a rockstar!

me organize everything with vendors to timeline, also picked up anything I needed last minute for that day. She definitely took off the weight for me to have to communicate with all my vendors. She also had really great ideas for the wedding day to make it go more smooth. She is also just such a pleasure to get to know and work with.

n that we had a number of things outstanding with only two months in advance of our big day. Despite this tight timeline, Michelle quickly got up to speed and independently coordinated with our other vendors to make sure that everyone was on the same page. Her organization skills and detail-orientedness made the weeks leading up to our wedding seamless. On our wedding day, my wife and I experienced what any couple wants for their big day - a fun, stress-free day creating lifelong memories with their loved ones! It’s safe to say that we owe all of this to Michelle! Michelle made sure that everyone was prepared and adhered to the timeline. She also exceeded expectations by incorporating special moments for all of the guests to enjoy. For example, my wife’s birthday was the day before our wedding. After Michelle learned of this, she ordered a birthday cake (making sure to ask me what my wife’s favorite flavor was of course!) for me to present to my wife, which was a highlight of the wedding! This was only one instance of Michelle going above and beyond to ensure that our day was special and memorable. Another time she exceeded expectations came when a new COVID-19 requirement was placed only one month out from our wedding date. The mandate required our guests and vendors to take action and Michelle handled all correspondence needed with the tight timeline. Whether messages we needed to send or information our vendors required from our guests, Michelle held our hand through all of it. We cannot recommend Michelle enough - she is incredible!

ng. She did a great job working with all of our vendors and creating a timeline that really worked with our vision for that day - she was just a huge help throughout the entire planning process which was not always easy with COVID. I would highly recommend!!
