Ryan is AMAZING!! I met Ryan from one of the bridal bazaars that I attended. I chose to go with her over another wedding planner because her price was right, and she seemed sweet, nice and humble. My husband and I enjoyed talking to her during ...our interview. We ordered the partial planning package since we only needed a Day-Of coordinator and my husband and I have done most of the leg work already (finding the right vendors, negotiating prices with said vendors, and finalizing contracts). Ryan and I stayed in contact over emails throughout the months leading up to the month of the wedding. She also helped us by suggesting other vendors when we didn't end up liking some of ours due to what they were charging us. I also really appreciated that she kept our budget in mind! She suggested a few vendors to us, with two that we ended up going with and were really happy with. She responds promptly to emails and is really courteous and respectful. Some of our vendors later mentioned to me that they really liked my wedding planner because her emails to them were approachable, consistent and informative, and more importantly, nice! She did so many things for us and went way out of her way and really went above and beyond for us. 3 weeks before the wedding, we scheduled a wrap up meeting to make sure all of our concerns were addressed. We asked if she could come to our house because we wanted to show her all of the wedding decor that we DIY'd and where we planned on doing with them/putting them. Most importantly, my husband and I wanted to share our vision with her so that she can make sure everything is where we'd like them to be. She graciously agreed to come over to our house. She was also so wonderful in offering to make a couple of flower sprays for our arch (that my husband made) free of charge, and only charged us for supplies. Again, she kept our budget in mind when I mentioned that I wanted to keep it low. She suggested faux flowers for our arch, and they turned out so beautiful and classy! She did such a fantastic job on the arch sprays!
She also offered to pick up our mini desserts from two different places and stored it in her fridge so we didn't have to organize and ask for someone to pick it up. We were going to start setting up Friday afternoon and our venue is about 45-50 miles away, so it was very kind of her to offer to pick up our desserts for us. She also picked up our pizzas that we planned on serving for our rehearsal dinner, because no pizza delivery services in the area delivered to our venue (since we were still so busy with setup and getting ready for the rehearsal later that evening). She came up to the venue for our rehearsal dinner, pizza boxes in hand, and shortly after started to organize and give us direction as to how the ceremony and reception should go. The day of the wedding, she was in full work mode, delegating tasks and checking to make sure everything was in place. She also mentioned that she was going to bring her male assistant with her on the wedding day to help us with setup. He was so nice & kind too! They helped make sure all of our decor were in place, that our timeline was good. Our wedding was so stunning and magical, everyone talked about how fun and beautiful everything was & Ryan helped make it happen! I'm running out of space & have so much more to write about how absolutely amazing Ryan is & I'm so thankful for all of the hard work she did to make everything go so smoothly!! PICK HER PICK HER!!
