Cierra Wilkins is an absolute dream. She was so incredible to work with, and jumped in to rescue us during a very stressful turn of events in our wedding planning (we ended up havi...ng to terminate our contract with another planner who dropped the ball).
The first thing Cierra did was tell us straight up that she didn't want us paying for services we weren't going to need, and that given how much work we'd already done on the planning process, she didn't feel we needed to pay for the "partial planning" package. Instead, she honestly and transparently shared that we would probably be best suited going for the month-of package, which would allow us to schedule as many meetings as we needed leading up to the wedding (beyond just the month of), but that we would continue to source our own vendors. We really appreciated the honesty, because she was right - I had already done most of the work on finding vendors and really didn't need that level of support.
Cierra was so gracious, transparent, and helpful. She kept us on track, shared timelines for needed deliverables, was super responsive to emails when we had questions, and really helped keep this project manager of a bride in balance.
Everything leading up to the wedding was a breeze. Everyone kept commenting on how relaxed I seemed, and it was because I knew we (and in particular, Cierra) had things covered! At one point during the rehearsal, she had to tell me to back off (very politely of course) and allow her to take over and orchestrate everything (much to my husband's delight) because I was so used to running the show. It was so nice to realize that I could let go and allow her to take over.
The wedding day was a dream. Everything ran smoothly and we all had a blast. It was beautiful, it was festive, and everything operated like a well-oiled machine, with Cierra pulling the levers behind the scenes.
THANK YOU, Cierra, for helping us host such a wonderful, joyous, and mostly stress-free wedding. You are the best!!
