How can i sing Tori praises enough? Tori single-handedly saved our wedding day. The groom and I caught COVID just two days before our wedding day. This obviously threw all that we'...ve been planning into chaos. Tori was the only one out there working on every little details for us to keep the wedding and the guests going with a festive feelings (instead of the pity party that we were scared people might feel bad for us that they won't be in the mood to have fun. She kept all other vendors in communication and the day came out beautifully as we had hoped for.
But let's start from the top. First, she made ideal recommendations for all the vendors. She understood the style I am going for and made suitable recommendations. This really cut down the effort I have to put into finding the vendors, especially when we plan from out of state. The whole time, I was planning long-distance. Tori was really my only in-areas eyes and ears and she did that really well.
Second, she really has an eye for details. She thought of and dealt with all the little mundane things so I did not have to. For example, dealing with hotel blocks, finding transportations, and sending emails coordinating all the vendors on the day of. She really excelled at that. As mentioned, two days before our wedding, we caught COVID but we decided not to cancel and went ahead with very different approach than what we planned for almost two years. We video-called into our ceremony instead and Tori found the screens, wifi, and countless other things to make it work while we just tried to recover from COVID. She did all those in two hectic and panic-inducing days without a hiccup. She is my superhero.
I also have a million little ideas popping up all the time. (like making a magazine, putting games and sculptures into the venue's side yard, etc.) Basically, always giving her more work. She was always a trooper and took all of them with a stride. I learned later that she's also a master crafter. She made two human-sized flowers for my yard with her theater props experience. She's so fun, creative, and talented.
All in all, she's amazing. I highly recommend her full package. Tori is the best wedding planner I could ask for.
