We were connected with Lyn after our original day-of coordinator had an unforeseen family emergency, and we couldn't have been happier. She jumped right in to the home stretch of w...
edding planning, and it felt like she had been working with us the whole time, even though we were in Madison and got married in Milwaukee. She communicated with us by phone and e-mail in advance. On the day of, she kept everyone and everything on schedule throughout the whole day and even bought us some last-minute supplies! Highly recommend - she was awesome.
This is one review I am so eager to write. When you contract with a wedding planner, you read carefully the contract they send and then decide if that is indeed what you wish for ...
them to do. In my case, our wedding planner, Lynn Zimmerman, from Essential Details, provided what I contracted for and so much more. She was eager to be such an important part of our daughter and son-in-law's wedding day. One month and 9 days before the wedding, my daughter had a terrible accident and broke her neck. Needless to say, adjustments to the wedding day needed to be made. Lynn went into high gear, contacting all the vendors and the Milwaukee Marriott West, where our ceremony and celebration were to take place. She oversaw all the changes that needed to be made, making this process so less daunting for all of us. She was invaluable to our family.
Lynn is a sweet person, but really not what we were looking for in a wedding planner.
Our initial meetings consisted of us telling her we really needed her for the end of the c...
eremony, to help pick up and clean the church. This happened to my sister's wedding and the cleaning fell on my parents. She said no worries, but a month before the wedding informed us she would be leaving after I walked down the isle, but don't worry, she will put out trash cans so we can clean quickly. This is just the first example.
All of our meetings up to the wedding consisted of us just informing her what we already did, and when she gave me the final details list, I spent 1.5 hours correcting information. She gave our florist the incorrect church address (which we caught and made sure to inform the florist the correct address).
The day of the ceremony she forgot to hand out the flowers for the parents, grandparents and godparents. She helped my mother and the reception catering manager put the decorative items and gifts in our car downstairs after the reception. Cake utensils and the top layer were supposed to go to my parents. Lynn put them in the bottom of the pile in our car. So after our honeymoon when we are going through our gifts we find a squished, smelling, top of our wedding cake.
I mean at the end of it we were laughing. These are just a few examples. It was almost funny we paid for this. She is a sweet person but details are not one of her good qualities.
