In regards to the Hardison wedding at the Georgia Aquarium 2025.
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for everything you did. You were absolutely phenomenal and such a ...
joy to work with throughout the wedding process. Your communication was clear and consistent, and you truly went above and beyond in every way. You made both my niece and sister feel completely at ease, which says so much about your calming presence, loving nature, and professionalism. From start to finish, it was clear how much you care about what you do and the people you do it for. I would 1000% recommend you to anyone looking for not just a coordinator, but someone who brings warmth, grace, and genuine kindness to the entire experience. We are so grateful for you!
Love,
Arlise Robinson
Candace was absolutely amazing for my vow renewal! I initially started with her basic Ivory package, but as a DIY bride, I quickly realized I needed more help. Candace didn’t hesit...
ate to step in and create a custom package for me, tailored to my needs. She even offered a payment plan, which was a huge relief.
She helped me find vendors, coordinated all the moving pieces, and made sure everything I had planned came together beautifully. When I forgot something important—like serving utensils—Candace ran out and got them for me without hesitation. She kept my wedding party organized and under control, which was a lifesaver.
One of my favorite moments was when I couldn’t get a dance floor logo sticker because of my venue's policies. Candace came up with the idea to use a gobo projector to display our logo on the wall instead. She arranged it all just to be nice, without charging me anything extra, and it turned out so beautiful!
On top of all that, Candace was so friendly and supportive. She talked me down from the edge more than once during the planning process. Thanks to her, my vow renewal was everything I dreamed it would be and more. I can’t recommend her enough!

e that I was able to remain calm. She attended important events and was always just a phone call away. She even customized a lot of items for our big day. She was absolutely wonderful.
