I have heard from MANY guests – too many to be pure flattery – that our wedding was the "best wedding they have ever attended." (!) This from folks young and old. I can't say how m...uch joy it gave us to have everything go so well. And what made it go well, undoubtedly, was Dahlia's planning.
We had a strong vision for what we wanted, and Dahlia heard us clearly and made it happen. She proposed potential vendors – all of which turned out to be amazing – and she kept a good timeline in booking so it didn't feel rushed towards the end. Wonderfully organized! Just wait for her Google Docs meeting agendas.
Even though we had a vision, we couldn't quite imagine everything needed to make it perfect. But Dahlia was there to make sure it all fit together. I assure you she has incredible discernment and taste. The aesthetics will work, and if you want a great party, the social choreography and guest experience will be flawless.
During the wedding itself, it was an incredible relief be able to be present and enjoy every moment without worrying about even the smallest thing. We had absolute faith that Dahlia would move the wedding along. It was truly seamless. We even could walk into the dining hall without even once seeing its transformation into the magical banquet hall it became, a wonderful surprise and real treat.
Our wedding vision was a 3-day retreat at a camp for adults in the Catskills. This introduced some complexity. Most adults were staying there, for one, and Dahlia seamless coordinated their lodging logistics, raising flags only when needed. Also, even though it was a camp, we didn't want it to be too 'campy'. Thanks to Dahlia it came out looking and feeling like a real party.
We are immensely thankful we found Dahlia and booked her. At every stage of the process her help was perfect and worth every penny. You won't find a better planner or coordinator out there! If you are undecided about whether you need a planner or just month-of coordinating, as we were originally, know that we were very happy we went with the full planning. You'll find better vendors, feel less stressed about the timeline, and Dahlia will think of the things you are bound to forget.
