absolutely flawlessly! We couldn’t have done it without them! They also did our decor and flowers which were beautiful! I couldn’t recommend them enough!

dding planner (for myself or any other wedding), so perhaps things are just done this way. If they are, I wish I’d known that sooner. This is a windy one, so here’s the TL;DR of it: if you hire EY, you need to either be an assertive person or have an assertive friend with you who is okay with making sure that what you wants gets done, voice record your in person meetings, and be sure to get as much in writing as you can. Or, plan to have the kind of wedding where all you want is to show up and go with the flow without any input. I would not hire them for decor or florals, unless you’re okay with the previously stated. By the end of working with EY, I feel as if I could have planned my own wedding with the same, if not less, amount of stress and work. Here’s the long of it: We hired Eventfully Yours because the venue recommended them. We met with the owner and Julie Hodges at the same time, and were taken in by their kindness and assurances. We talked about doing some things DIY because we’re a crafty couple, about having a small budget, and read over contracts. It seemed like a good deal. Due to COVID, it was quite awhile after this meeting before we got to really get going. Once we did - a full year out - the ball got moving quick. One reason why I wanted a wedding planner was because our budget was tight and I wanted someone in the know to work with our vendors and get the most for our buck that we could. The EY contract explicitly states that they will ‘work with your budget and vendors’. The first thing I was asked for (with an emphasis to rush) was a list of vendors I wanted to use. I turned it in, and because two vendors reached out to me and I was told no differently, I was under the impression that they all would. This was, unfortunately, false. To the point that when I realized this, we lost vendors because they had already been booked out. (And when our chosen hotel had reached out to me, they had been given my email incorrectly, and we nearly lost our desired suite and room blocks for guests). The contract also states consultations via in person, text, email, virtual, with three promised meetings. Getting replies from anyone on the team was quite difficult and often involved having to check in multiple times. Things that had been spoken about would be forgotten or ignored (to the point that I ended up with extra florals because they had not been removed as requested multiple times.) And I never got my promised last meeting, in which I had asked to meet the woman who would be in charge of my event prior to the day of (as it was not Julie) ((They had back to back destination weddings before mine, but after stating multiple times when we could be available for a zoom meeting, it was never accepted)). This lack of communication means that vendors were contacting me, asking for a day of schedule (two months out) that I could not get ahold of, and was eventually told that it wouldn’t be made until a week out. As vendors needed that information to be booked, I pressed for it. The woman who made it for us, and with whom we’d worked with for much prior, left EY the day after.
