Where do I begin?! I will tell everyone that the best decision that my husband and I made (besides saying yes) to each other on our wedding day, was saying YES to Evonne from Exqui...site Event. If you are even slightly on the fence on hiring a wedding coordinator/planner (WP) I can assure you that you will not ever regret moving forward with Exquisite Event. I had the chance to talk to a handful of wedding planners before meeting with Evonne, and I certainly saved the best for last. Evonne was the only person that made the experience personable from our first interaction. Without even being hired by us, she dedicated more than an hour of her time to talk with me about my vision, wants/needs for our wedding. We immediately clicked and I felt that I was working with someone that truly cared about my day being as perfect as possible. She asked me questions beyond the standard *day of expectations.* Her questions are thoughtful, smart, and creative. Even from our initial call, Evonne kindly offered her expertise and guidance, helping me understand venue expectations that I didn't even know I needed to have! Fast forward to weeks and months of planning, Evonne was there for every question and opinion. This being the only wedding of my family, I had no prior experience in any sort of planning and I can confidently say I would have bee LOST without her guidance and support on our day. Throughout the whole process, it never felt like a business transaction, but rather conversations with a friend that was keen on helping me plan and execute every detail. Speaking of detail, Evonne's attention to details is INCREDIBLE. We had spoken about how I envisioned my cocktail and reception rooms, and truthfully, when I saw everything finalized, I could not have dreamed of it looking better. As someone with a type A personality, Evonne's consistent attention and responsiveness was highly appreciated. The timeline that she created for the day was beyond anything I could have imagined, and even other vendor's for the wedding noted that they had never seen a WP with such detail for the day. The day goes by so quickly, that every minute counts.
The day of our wedding, had more hiccups than we could've predicted. Fortunately for my husband and I, we did not find out until after the entire day had ended. That is solely thanks to Evonne, who managed to keep everything under control and made sure that I did not feel the stress or consequences of things not going as planned. Evonne had a plan B for everything! She is confident in her work and if there is something that you need done, she will make it happen. My family throughout the day asked me how I found her, they were in awe of her kindness and attentiveness not just to me, but to everyone in my bridal suite as well. My husband and I are both Colombian, and as a Latina, it meant so much to me to have someone by our side who understood the importance of keeping our culture alive and felt throughout the day's events.
If I can give one advice to any bride looking for an extra hand on their day, SAY YES to Exquisite Events. Evonne will be not just be your wedding planner, but your most trusted friend of the night who will treat your special day with immense care and love.
