I knew that I wanted to have a month of wedding coordinator before we were even engaged. I am a fairly organized and controlling personality, but I do not enjoy executing my plans. Chelsea was amazing to work with. She guided us, while always keeping OUR vision in mind, and provided support as needed. She was so helpful with recommending vendors within our budget, which took so much stress off of me. She made the wedding planning process fun and enjoyable!! When I began to feel stressed, I would reach out to her and she would immediately calm any concerns that I had. If you're looking for a planner, look no further, Chelsea is the best!
We are so glad that we had Chelsea as our month-of coordinator! I was really hesitant to work with a planner or coordinator, especially since our ceremony and reception plans were a bit non-traditional, but Chelsea won me over right away and during the whole week of our wedding especially, I could not imagine doing it without her. She is a great listener, communicator, problem-solver and trouble-shooter. She was so supportive of our vision, which is not always true of planners, from what I hear. There were so many little things that would have either become problems or would just not have happened without Chelsea in the picture. We were both surprised at how relaxed, comfortable and intimate we felt during the wedding and reception. Chelsea definitely had a lot to do with our ability to relax and be present in the moment with our loved ones. THANK YOU, Chelsea!
I was always on the fence about getting a wedding coordinator; one, because I’m type A and wanted to do it all on my own (the correct way) and two, I wanted to save a little bit of money.
Little did I know how stressful planning a wedding could be on my own, so I caved at 3 months until my wedding to find a coordinator.
From day one, Chelsea was amazing! I remember meeting with her for the first time and how much weight I could literally feel being lifted off my shoulders in our first meeting. I could finally breathe again!
Being from out of state, I didn’t know all the vendors so it was hard to find the good ones. Chelsea helped with everything, from recommending vendors (the great ones) to helping with the small details the day of the wedding and even down to helping me pick out all the songs for the wedding ceremony.
Working with Chelsea was the best decision I made in this whole wedding planning process (aside from marrying my best friend). One thing I always recommend to future brides is TO GET A WEDDING COORDINATOR! You’ll be glad you did! Chelsea is the best of the best!!
Chelsea was the best wedding planner EVER! She was definitely the architect behind our special day! Chelsea was recommended to us after our original planner fell through, and to this day, I thank my lucky stars that this was how everything panned out, because Chelsea was nothing short of incredible. We came to her a little later in the planning process; most of our vendors were booked, and we mainly wanted month-of coordination of everything. Chelsea delivered, and then some. She not only coordinated our previously-booked vendors, but she also made recommendations for vendors we had yet to book, such as makeup and transportation. She was great at communicating and would keep thorough correspondence whenever any changes were made. Chelsea was also especially gracious and patient when it came to interacting with a long-distance couple! On top of her organization and professionalism, she was just so, so sweet and so enthusiastic. Even though I only had the pleasure of meeting her in-person a few times, she always treated me like a close friend. On the big day, she was like a superhero. She and her assistant seemed to be everywhere at once! They came prepared with hairspray, bandaids, you name it - everything my bridal party was missing! She brought so much energy to the entire project. We are so, so grateful to have worked with her, and I highly recommend her as a wedding planner!
From the first time we met Chelsea we knew we had were in good hands , and by the conclusion of our meeting we knew we had chosen a confident well established and organized wedding co ordinator. We had signed up for the month of, but Chelsea gave us suggestions for wedding photographers invitations and anything else we asked for. When the month before the wedding started she took over all coordination and contact with our vendors, and we felt very assured and confident that all requests were going to be met, and that she was on top of all the details and requests we had made. Every time there was a change in a detail she took care of it ,and then constantly kept in contact with us about the changes. On the day of the wedding she was amazing she brought an assistant with her, and between the two of them they kept on top of every single detail. She had come up with a timeline for everything and they made sure that everything worked according to the clock. I cannot say enough about Chelsea and the details that she attended to. She was extremely supportive when we had a problem with the location after the wedding, and she has been concerned and involved even though the wedding is over.
She came to every meeting I asked her to attend at the location and she behaved in an extremely professional and helpful way at every turn. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and if I had another event I would use her again .
Chelsea was a complete lifesaver and absolutely amazing to work with! I am an anxious, type A person by nature, and in addition to her being completely organized and detailed-oriented, I think one of her most valuable contributions was talking me off the ledge on numerous occasions. Planning can get absolutely crazy, and she was there to let me know that everything was going to be OK - and it was! We had a beautiful, romantic wedding that ran like clockwork, and I wouldn't change a thing. Definitely hire a planner, and most importantly, hire Chelsea!
Chelsea was absolutely fantastic! (And this is coming from a Type A, project manager by trade so my standards are HIGH) She was very organized, timely and on top of everything. She met with us multiple times ahead of our day, was patient with all of our questions and worked with us diligently on any concerns. She made sure nothing fell through the cracks and most importantly she allowed us to really relax and enjoy our day; we had no worries on our wedding day knowing Chelsea was in charge. She made sure every detail was just as I'd wanted it to be and that everything ran smoothly. I can't say enough how much I enjoyed working with her and would absolutely suggest other brides hire her!!
From the first moment I met Chelsea I knew - I knew she was the perfect match for us! I am, admittedly, over the top when it comes to control. I have to do it myself, because I just don’t trust anyone to do it as good as me. I think even at some point along the way Chelsea made a comment about how I was the most “hands on” Mother of the Bride she had ever worked with. During the final months of preparation my daughter graduated from college, moved to a new city, and was in a very serious car accident. I was full in on helping her plan her entire wedding and was completely fooled by the idea that I could follow a wedding “how to” book to orchestrate this wedding – by myself. I was quickly becoming overwhelmed with all the steps, deadlines, rules, and proper etiquette. It’s so easy to get caught up in monitoring every single detail and I was struggling to enjoy the little moments. We needed help!
I can honestly say, without a doubt, I was able to relax and let Chelsea take control. She is extremely professional, and patient, and organized. This is a big one for me – organization! Every detail she handled to perfection. Every road bump along the way she managed to smooth, probably many without me even knowing about them. She made my job, as Mother of the Bride, so much easier. I was able to relax and enjoy my daughter’s wedding. Chelsea prides herself in making this her mission and reminded me several times that this was her job and I needed to “let go”. Best advice ever! I realized I was going to miss the special moments along the way because I was busy agonizing over the details. This was only one day in a lifetime of happiness, but it’s an important one, so make sure you love every minute of it. Let go and let Everything but the Ring be in control for you. Best wedding ever and we are so grateful and thankful to Chelsea for her hard work. She’s like Mary Poppins for weddings, practically perfect in every way.
Chelsea was AMAZING. If could give her more stars I would. Having her there on my wedding day allowed me to relax and not have to worry about all of the vendors, wrangling the wedding party, or my mother being stressed out (that one was big)... so so worth hiring her. She is not only one of the most organized people I've ever met, but also so sweet and understanding. She always had the best bridal advice and was super helpful throughout everything. Loved her.
BEST WEDDING PLANNER EVER! Our first meeting with Chelsea was super successful. She stepped in at every moment possible to take stress off of myself (the bride) and the groom.I can't thank Chelsea enough for everything she's done. A few weeks out before our wedding my bridesmaid dropped out and I was a mess and upset with the wedding being so close. Chelsea came to my work for coffee to talk it through with me and made sure we left that meeting with a solution and that I am calm. Chelsea made sure all of our vendors were aligned with each other. The day of the wedding went by so fast and SMOOTH! Chelsea did such a great job with timeline and making sure our family and friends were taken care of. Me being a worry bug did not have to worry at all on my wedding day. I got to sit back and enjoy the day I became a Mrs. This was my dream wedding and Chelsea helped us to get here! THANK YOU CHELSEA!! I not only had the best planner but have gained a forever friend! Chelsea is the MUST HAVE WEDDING PLANNER :)
