Coquette Events

dding planner is absolutely worth the money if you want to just enjoy the day of your wedding. My husband and I were able to enjoy our day, focus on being happy because andrea and karen just took care of all the details, made everything run smoothly, and when there was minor issues they will take care of it. I know a lot of people want to save money, but seriously your wedding is once in a lifetime and every bride wants to enjoy it, if you want to have fun go with coquette, andrea will take care of you all the way and even go out of her way to help you if you have questions about vendors. She is so detail oriented and helped me asked vendors questions i didn't even know to ask. Trust andrea and you will have so much fun on your day!!!!

six weeks before my wedding, a friend recommended Andrea. She hit the ground running and really helped us pull our wedding day vision into a reality. We had a very large multi-cultural wedding at a non-traditional venue (the Exploratorium), and I made almost all of our decor items by hand. Andrea ensured that all of our family and guests were happy and taken care of while also ensuring that all of my intricate DIY pieces were executed exactly as I had envisioned them. I am very detail oriented and have very high expectations, and I never once worried with Andrea on board. Andrea is the type of planner you can trust unconditionally. She has impeccable taste and is on top of every aspect of the wedding. I got countless comments from my guests and other vendors on how impressed they were by Andrea's professionalism and overall awesomeness. I would recommend Coquette Events to any bride who wants to have a magical, stress-free day. I can't thank Andrea enough for going above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was everything we'd ever dreamed of. At the end of the evening on our wedding day, my husband even pulled Andrea aside to tell her that he had been originally skeptical about the value of planners, but that she had definitely made him a believer!!!

ne to talk to when I was unsure about things. They kept me on track with all the wedding planning and checked on me periodically. Andrea even had to ask me to relax with the days leading up to my wedding and wanted to make sure that I kept them busy so I had time for myself. On the day of the wedding, Andrea and Jamie made my family and friends comfortable the entire day. They kept everything moving along and ensured the schedule was being followed. We had an unruly bridal party (mainly the groomsmen) and poor Jamie had to baby sit them all night. I will never forget her schooling the groomsmen but making sure that I was not bothered with it. Andrea and Jamie were both firm with the groomsmen yet so cordial with them no matter how misbehaved they were. Thanks guys.... totally appreciated that! At the end of the day (and it was a long day.... probably over 10 hours), Andrea and Jamie ensured that all my personal belongings/gifts were all taken care of so nothing was left behind. They were even kind enough to check on my husband and I after our honeymoon to make sure we were doing well. Having Coquette Events at my wedding was the best decision that I made!

ul, but working with these two made it a lot more fun. As we were planning a wedding in California while living in Washington DC, we were very certain from the start that we would need a wedding coordinator to help us plan and carry out our wedding. From participating in other people's weddings, I knew from experience how crazy and intense it can be to plan your own wedding. I wanted none of that! From our first meeting with Coquette to the day after the wedding, Jamie and Andrea were there for us when we needed them. From the very beginning, both were very responsive and answered all of my emails. We held pretty regular three-way conference calls as we were all in different locations (at the time Andrea was living in NYC), where they could answer all of our questions and provide us with plenty of suggestions and advice. It is amazing how many details go into planning a wedding, and these two left no stone unturned. As the wedding day approached, Jamie and Andrea went into overdrive, helping us with last minute details and putting together a very detailed timeline for the wedding day. They also took over working with all the vendors and confirmed times and locations. It felt amazing to turn everything over to them and not worry about anything. On the day of the wedding, both girls showed up bright and early and ready to go. Everyone was so shocked at how surprisingly calm I was all day. Although I had read over the timeline, not having to know the exact details of it was such a relief. I really didn't have to worry about a thing and basically went wherever I was told. I LOOVED it!! No matter how much preparation you put into planning the big day, a couple bumps here and there are due to happen. Luckily, Jamie and Andrea took care of everything and I really knew nothing of these little setbacks until the day after. One of our groomsmen did not try on his tuxedo, and found out that morning that the arms of his jacket had been shortened considerably. Luckily, Andrea was totally ready! She whipped out her hem ripper, re-sewed and ironed new sleeve hems for him. You couldn't tell a thing! We also had an issue with our florist being late. Without Jamie and Andrea stepping in and working extra hard to make up for their tardiness, we would never have been able to stick to the planned timeline for the evening. Again, I had no clue this was going on and I was able to completely enjoy the day without any worries. Our wedding was awesome and Jamie and Andrea were a big part of that!
