I Do...Weddings & Events

all! I owe her everything for having my wedding day turn out nothing short of perfect! If you are trying to decide on a wedding planner choose Jill, you won't regret it!

ghtful, and incredibly calm — exactly the kind of energy we needed! Out of all the decisions we made for our wedding, choosing Melissa was by far one of the best. She made everything run seamlessly and handled every detail with such care. Thanks to her and her amazing team, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our day. Melissa, you are such a kind and genuine person, and any couple would be lucky to work with you. We’re endlessly grateful for everything you did to make our day so perfect. — The Garcias

could have been an overwhelming and stressful time fun and easeful. She made us feel like our wedding was the only one she was planning. Jill also had no agenda for our wedding, she was focused on what we want and what worked with our budget. Jill's energy is also so kind and uplifting. It was always a joy to talk and correspond with her. She also responds insanely fast to everything. We always had no worry or fears because we knew Jill was on top of it all. Our wedding was beyond what we could have imagined and that is largely thanks to Jill. The day also went flawlessly because of her. She's truly the best and I cannot recommend her enough. If you want to enjoy the wedding planning process and have your day go perfectly you need Jill.

anized, and drove things forward all year as we planned and executed our wedding, which was a huge success. I'd give her six stars if I could.

annot describe how truly amazing Melissa was as our Wedding Planner. Hiring her was by far the best decision we made in the Wedding planning process. Melissa is extremely responsive to emails, always calm, supportive, and on top of tasks, and she has the best can-do attitude to solve problems and address issues as they arise. She gave great recommendations for our vendors and took the lead on all of the follow up correspondence. Melissa set up calls, filled out vendor forms, offered suggestions to us, and kept us on track with our budget and timeline. Having her on site all day on the wedding day itself was incredibly helpful and honestly essential. We were so grateful that she managed everything on the wedding day realtime and she even helped me fit into my Wedding Dress. Throughout the whole process, Melissa was kind, calm, and always professional. We would hire her again in heart beat. Best Wedding planner ever!

stantly made things more difficult for us, confused us for different couples, and recommended the very most expensive vendors despite telling us that she would work with our budget. We got the sense that she wanted things done her way, and would not work with the vendors we had chosen (who ended up being fantastic). In the end, neither Jill nor I Do Weddings offered to make things right in any capacity, and just made us sign a termination contract agreeing that we wouldn't get our money back. I really don't understand how our experience differs so much from everything we read. It ended up being a huge headache and waste of money. I would not recommend this company.

y unforgettable. From the very first meeting, Melissa listened to our vision and brought it to life with such elegance and attention to detail. Her organizational skills and expertise ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy every moment of our wedding day without stress. Melissa’s passion for her work shines through in everything she does, and her ability to handle unexpected challenges with grace was truly impressive. The venue was absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere she created was magical. Guests are still raving about the beautiful décor and seamless flow of the evening. We felt so cared for and supported throughout the entire planning process and on the big day itself. Thank you, Melissa, for your dedication and hard work. You helped us create memories that will last a lifetime, and we are forever grateful! We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make their dream wedding a reality. Blessings, Isaiah & Sharon Turner

phenomenal and made our wedding day so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Day-of Coordination: Elena stood out not only on the wedding day but also in the months leading up to it. She was incredibly helpful during the planning process—offering thoughtful insight into creating a seamless timeline and even helping with ideas for decor and place settings tailored to our outdoor, beachy (and occasionally windy!) wedding. She thought of every detail, from preparing us in advance to get those dreamy photos (like the first kiss and cake cutting) to ensuring everything ran on schedule without a hitch. On the day, Elena was a true lifesaver. From the rehearsal to the ceremony and reception, I never once had to worry about where I needed to be or what was next. She kept everything moving smoothly, pointing me in the right direction while allowing me to fully enjoy the company of our guests and the magic of the day. And she always made sure we were taken care of (never without a drink in hand!). Her leadership and attention to detail made it all so effortless for us. Florals: Melissa tackled all of our floral arrangements, and I couldn’t have been happier with how they turned out! Working within my limited budget, she brought my vision to life with stunning florals that perfectly matched our style and the seaside setting. Melissa truly understood the look I was going for, and her creativity and expertise made every arrangement stand out beautifully. She even gave me a calming pep talk before I walked down the aisle, which was such a thoughtful touch during a nerve-wracking moment. If you are considering a wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum (or anywhere else), I cannot recommend I-Do highly enough. Elena is an incredible coordinator who will make your wedding day run flawlessly, and Melissa will make your vision a reality. Thank you, Elena and Melissa, for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

t in the couple months right before the event. Melissa brought us so much peace of mind because we knew everything was going to be managed perfectly on the day of the event and that we weren’t missing a thing in the preparations. Her attention to detail and general thoroughness was greatly appreciated. When the day rolled around, her calm energy was exactly what we needed as we were getting ready to walk down the aisle. She worked behind the scenes but pulled all the strings to make sure it all flowed so smoothly. The event looked stunning when we arrived! Most of all, IDW made the day so relaxing for me, my spouse, the whole bridal party, and our families. Truly the best gift we could have asked for was to be able to be present and able to enjoy every second of the day. We also worked with Melissa for our florals. The bouquets and all the tables were stunning! We heard it from every aunt we talked to the next day at the beach breakfast too. I loved all the color and the arrangements and was so happy with the suggestions and inspiration boards that Melissa crafted for us in the lead up. We were so lucky to have Melissa help bring our vision to life! Melissa and the IDW team far surpassed the value we could have hoped for and we would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a great partner in their wedding planning journey!

ision for the big day. She didn’t just listen—she absolutely delivered. One of the things I was most particular about was how I wanted the guest tables to look, and Melissa nailed every detail beautifully. My entire vision came to life in a way that was even better than I imagined. Beyond the design, she went above and beyond in making sure everything ran smoothly—from the timeline to the tiniest details that made the night feel so special for us. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. I couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator.

seamless and stress-free! I would gladly marry my husband again just to relive the experience with her. We are so grateful for everything she did; she made my dream wedding a reality! Thank you so much, Melissa! I would recommend you to everyone! 💕

an absolute professional and expert in her field. We underestimated the difficulty of planning a wedding at a completely blank slate venue, and Melissa’s vast experience with all the quirks and possible options at Scripps was a total godsend. We left every conversation with her feeling more calm and confident that everything would be OK. And our wedding turned out not just OK, but phenomenal. During the month leading up to our wedding Melissa took so much off our plates – more than we even realized we had on our plates – in terms of vendor communications, timelines and event logistics so that we were able to focus on the final details that really mattered to us and feel relaxed leading up to the day. She exudes competence and calm which we so needed during the planning process and on the day itself. In an industry that seems like it’s exploding with trends, excess and frivolity, it meant a lot to us to be working with someone who has been planning weddings for over 20 years, has truly seen it all, and who had grounded perspectives on what would really give us and our guests the best possible experience (and who of course knows about the trends as well!). Can’t recommend her and her team enough!

y beginning figure out how to even get started in what seems like an impossible event to start planning. In our vendor selection Melissa was thoughtful with recommendations when we needed them and enthusiastic about options we brought to the table ourselves. She, seemingly, effortlessly navigated the numerous communications with vendors over the months leading up to the wedding. We were fortunate enough for some of our family to meet Melissa along the way. Each person that met her individually remarked how confident Melissa made them that the wedding would be a great success and allowed them to relax and start to just enjoy the ride. As for the week of and day of Melissa and her team’s efforts and coordination matched the growing list of things to do and places to be. Melissa made sure we kept up with the moving parts with a calm demeanor. When it came to the day of there were really no more worries left. We go to enjoy the busy day and Melissa orchestrated the concert of logistical events. Even in the aftermath of the event Melissa just kept going making sure all of the breakdown went according to plan, items got into various vehicles and the venue was returned to it’s original state. Overall we had an excellent experience with Melissa and her team and would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a planner at any stage of their wedding. Melissa was professional and endlessly competent while still making it feel personal and collaborative.

all true and we were thrilled with her and her work. Highly recommended wedding planner in San Diego.

l recommendations/insight to assist in the planning process, and ran the day of coordination perfectly at my wedding. I was a DIY bride & brought in a lot of my own special details & signage. She nailed my vision & I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! If you’re on the hunt for a wedding planner, look no further, Melissa is your girl ! Thank you so so much Melissa!

ur expectations! Melissa’s professionalism and knowledge of the wedding business was so helpful. She kept us on a great timeline with planning before the big day and her sense of calm on the wedding day made all the difference in the world. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Melissa!!

We hired Jill with less than 6 months until our planned date and she was the definition of professional from the very start. Our wedding was at a private estate and during the initial walk she was able to visualize exactly how to best use the space and turn it into the wedding of our dreams. She was very detailed in the timeline of our wedding and flexible with last minute changes (like deciding to hire a florist 2 weeks before the wedding). Her effort and dedication through the entire event is unparalleled and I can say with certainty that anyone who has the pleasure of working with Jill and her team will be happy with the results.

ackage does not receive the same level of attention and effort that the planner packages receive from Melissa. Strengths: (1) 20+ years of experience, (2) has worked at the venue before, (3) good communication with vendors on day of the wedding, (4) excellent vendor recommendations, (5) efficient and tasteful setup & take-down of décor, (6) unlimited emails & calls included in coordination package, (7) brought an assistant to help, (8) décor rentals available for reasonable prices, (9) also a florist Weaknesses: (1) poor attention to detail (sent emails asking for information that she should have known was irrelevant to our situation—making it clear she didn’t take notes on previous conversations and didn’t distinguish our wedding from that of other clients; sent incorrect information to vendors so we had to follow up with corrections; sent us an invoice for the final deposit full of incorrect information; sent us multiple documents with incorrect information after we had discussed changes multiple times; among many other examples), (2) tardiness (showed up late to every single in-person meeting, including the rehearsal), (3) gaslighting (confirmed with me and multiple family members at the final walkthrough and the rehearsal that the venue would groom the sand for the ceremony, and that there would be a carpet on the aisle provided by the venue; when neither of these happened, she said we were all making it up), (4) confused everyone during the rehearsal (hadn’t reviewed the ceremony order of events prior to arriving and massively confused my family until the officiant jumped in and began to lead the rehearsal), (5) ruined my guestbook and never acknowledged or apologized (I gave her our laser-cut tree & leaves guestbook several days before the wedding; she lost the leaves that the guests sign, and instead brought some flimsy slips of paper that don’t fit and fully ruined a memento we hoped to put on our wall forever), (6) lost one of my rentals, which I will need to pay extra for

t the sweetest person ever! The day of my wedding was stress free. Melissa handled everything while I got to truly enjoy the day with my partner. If anything went wrong, I had no idea because she handled everything. She made sure we were hydrated, fed, and running on schedule. All the decorations were set up exactly how I described and packed up before the end of the night. I couldn't have asked for a better month of wedding planner. If you're looking for someone who knows this industry inside and out, Melissa is the one for you!!

could sit back, relax and enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience. I would recommend using Elena and the I Do Weddings Team over and over again! We cannot thank you enough!

Instagram. From the first phone call with Jill it was clear just how helpful she would be for the next 1+ year of wedding planning. She recommended the best vendors in San Diego at any price points we needed and provided expert advice on any topics we had questions on that allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams within a budget we were comfortable with. She kept us and our vendors on track every step of the way. Jill is so efficient and effective but is also so fun, has a can-do attitude and overall is such a pleasure to work with. The actual wedding day went by without a snag because Jill thought of everything beforehand. We cannot recommend Jill enough to any couple debating whether to get a planner or who to hire as a planner. In the end, she saved us money and our sanity by hiring her. We absolutely adore Jill!

le without her - I absolutely mean it. We knew from our first introductory call with Jill that she was going to be such a great partner and friend through the process. She was thoughtful, organized, and brought the best energy to every detail! When it came time to find and vet vendors, she actually ended up saving us quite a bit of money by either finding identical less expensive vendors or by reviewing contracts and removing unnecessary charges. The real magic happened during the week of our wedding and we needed some emergency rentals - Jill came through with some contacts and got it immediately sorted for us. I got so many compliments on how relaxed I seemed on my wedding day and it was because I knew Jill had my back and everything was going to be perfect. I cannot recommend Jill Hudgins enough. I already miss working with her and I know she will elevate any couple and wedding she works with in the future. Do not miss the chance to partner with such a great planner! Thank you, Jill!

notch coordination services. Our wedding day happened without any hiccups thanks to their team - shoutout to Elena for being a superstar! We also used them for our wedding flowers and they came out even better than we could have ever imagined! We would highly recommend booking I Do…Weddings & Events for your wedding!!

nned numerous weddings there but also had her own wedding at the same location! From the start, she made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire planning process. I can’t imagine what it would have been like without her. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have worked with Jill and were consistently impressed by her attentiveness, expertise, and dependability. Her advice and recommendations were invaluable, and we trusted her completely. Jill even came prepared with a wedding day emergency kit that included essentials like deodorant and stain removers, which turned out to be lifesavers! Thanks to her, everything from the planning to the actual day itself was seamless. Caitlyn Flannery was also amazing and joined Jill as a coordinator on our wedding day, helping to ensure everything was perfect. Our wedding felt truly special, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Jill to anyone planning their big day.

ces, she truly did it all! She walked me through the whole process, gave me helpful tasks to complete as I was planning, and was always there for me when I needed to call. I can't believe her service was so affordable! A bonus is that she also works as a florist and provided our flowers. It was super convenient because it was one less vendor I had to coordinate with, and she understood the aesthetic vision I had for my wedding and helped it come to life. I felt very seen and heard which every bride knows is very important when planning your day! I am so grateful to Melissa for all the time and energy she put into my wedding to make it what it was! Thank you!

experience shines through in every conversation — she’s truly an expert. You want Jill on your team. Thank you so much, Jill!

attention to detail, efficiency, adaptability, and professionalism were truly outstanding. She seamlessly coordinated all aspects of our special day, from orchestrating all the vendors to executing a tight timeline management, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our celebration. Melissa's ability to understand and execute our vision while offering valuable suggestions made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. Her calm demeanor and problem-solving skills were particularly appreciated when unexpected challenges arose. Thanks to Melissa's expertise and dedication, our wedding day exceeded expectations and was filled with beautiful moments and unforgettable memories. We would wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to any couple.

ble expertise and helped us to review contracts far in advance of that, essentially acting on call to ensure that the aspects we handled on our own were set up for success. We were introduced to our coordinator about two months before the wedding date, and her organization and attention to detail immediately impressed me. She really helped us to feel confident in our itinerary, and even provided us with draft emails for vendors and members of the bridal party to get everyone on the same page. The weekend of the event, Elena was so incredible and coordinated all of the vendors, timing, communication between parties, and schedule adjustments, so we could simply enjoy the day. In addition to being extremely talented at what she does, she was also a pleasure (and fun!) to work with. The coordinator’s assistant was also incredible and so helpful the day of the event. The team received so many compliments from our guests and families — we can’t imagine doing our big day without them!

wo years. With many many changes along the way (including a venue change) and a very large wedding party, Jill handled everything seamlessly and with patience and grace. She made sure everything was taken care of so we were able to enjoy our day. Planning this event with her was not only easy, but she was so much fun. We looked forward to our meetings and check-ins. and she handled all details with ease and thoughtfulness. She kept in mind our larger vision and always provided helpful suggestions and ideas. Not to mention, the design we came up with was stunning. We had the best day ever and it would not have been possible without all of Jill's hard work!

ot of moving parts and Chelsea handled it all easily. I don't know how she managed to be everywhere but she was and did it gracefully! Right before the ceremony, the Mother of the Groom broke her heel and Chelsea was right there to help fix the situation. Her emergency kit came in handy and whatever she did lasted all night, even through the Mother/Son dance. During the reception, Chelsea was always once step ahead and kept us on schedule. We saw her running around and handling everything with ease. She checked in on us often, and did a great job communicating with us throughout the night. She is super kind and was a joy to work with. Thank you so much Chelsea for being a part of our day and making it as special as it was! We are so grateful we hired I Do Weddings! We vetted many wedding coordinators and after our first call with Melissa, we knew she was the choice for us. She was super kind, took the time to listen to all our needs, and treated us with the care that we were looking for. She helped us throughout the planning process and guided us whenever we had questions or needed advice. We also hired Melissa to be our Florist. and it was 100% the right choice! We had a specific vision in mind and she was great working with us to get what we wanted. We were BLOWN AWAY with the final result she created. We are so grateful for all of her professional touches she made for our wedding. Thank you, Melissa, you made our day look so beautiful and run so smoothly!

oments. Her detail orientedness and coordination allowed me to be calm leading up to and during the wedding day as I knew I was in great hands with Jill. We met many times throughout the months leading up to the wedding and she always had great insights to share. I cant imagine a more perfect day. I highly recommend Jill if you want to make your dream wedding day a reality and have a little fun while doing it

into place. We booked Jill as our month of coordinator and she was SO helpful, kind, professional, and took all the stress off our plate. We thought we knew what we were doing, but Jill quickly added soooo much knowledge to the planning process and helped us fine tune details that were not even on our radar prior to working with Jill. We got married at Scripps Seaside Forum and on the day of the wedding Jill handled everything perfectly. If anything went wrong we had no idea because she handled it. It was truly the day of our dreams and Jill was the best investment we made on our entire wedding. I can’t recommend her talents enough. It felt like working with a close friend. If I could give more than 5 stars I would :) - Laura & David

time getting to know us so she could offer personalized recommendations and vendors that she knew would help make our wedding dreams come to life....and she executed all of it flawlessly! Needless to say, we loved working with her and her team. Everyone we interacted with was extremely professional and detail orientated, including the vendors that she recommended. We didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day, which was the best part so we could just be in the moment and enjoy! Getting a wedding planner was the best decision we made after getting engaged, and Melissa was the perfect match for us. We would use her again in a heartbeat for any event coordination or celebration. Thank you, Melissa! You're the best!

hrough this process with her. We had a short timeline-- we started planning in August for an April wedding, and we were all locked in with our vendors within 3 months. Jill was so encouraging and was able to answer any and all of our questions. When it was supposed to rain on our wedding day, she checked in with me multiple times not only to go over a contingency plan, but to make sure I was feeling okay. I felt so confident on my wedding day that everything was going to go according to plan, so I hardly had any nerves at all! This is really something considering that my venue was very strict with timing, which meant that vendors had under 2 hours to set up. That's INSANE, but Jill and her team handled it. If she can orchestrate a venue turnover for 163 guests in 2 hours, she can do anything. Jill was dedicated to the planning of my wedding as if it was her own-- she was also just so easy to work with! I really recommend any San Diego couple planning a wedding hire Jill/the I Do... Weddings & Events team.

on track and ensuring every detail was accounted for. Not only did she suggest things we hadn't even thought of, but her fun and calming presence made the entire journey enjoyable. Knowing Jill was in charge allowed us to enjoy our day without worrying about a single detail. Thanks to her, our wedding day was flawless, and we couldn't be more grateful for her expertise and support. Every single vendor loves her and it’s for a good reason. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day perfect, look no further than Jill. She's simply the best.

ive, and played an instrumental role in the success of our wedding. My now-husband and I knew we wanted to give our guests an iconic San Diegan wedding, and no better place than at Scripps! The challenge with this venue is that all the vendors need to be brought in, which is much more work than an all-inclusive venue. Melissa was a wonderful source of support throughout this process, providing useful recommendations based on our budget, reviewing all the contracts as they came in, and responding quickly to any questions I sent her way. Every time we met with her in person, we left feeling reassured and confident that she could make our vision a reality. In the months leading up to our wedding, she took control of communicating with all our vendors, finalizing details and ensuring everyone was on the same page. She sent us tasks to focus on each week so that we could stay on track and was always mindful not to place too big of a burden on us. Thanks to this, we had few remaining to-dos the week of our wedding, and could focus on spending time with our family and wedding party. When a storm was forecasted to hit on our wedding weekend, Melissa reassured us she had contingency plans in place, and sent us and the vendors regular updates. Fortunately, the sky cleared up just in time for our ceremony, and we were able to have it outdoors. In times like these, when uncertainty and stress arise, it makes it all the more important to have an experienced planner like Melissa. On our wedding day, Melissa touched base with both of us in the morning, quietly delivered the most gorgeous bouquets to our Airbnb, and returned to the venue to set up a fantastic ceremony and reception. The day went by in a blur, but at no point did I feel stressed about the details because she was there running the show effortlessly and keeping things on track. The clean-up process was also made super smooth and easy for us. Thanks to Melissa, my husband and I were truly able to enjoy celebrating our wedding with our loved ones, and everyone had an amazing time!

wedding day as I knew Caitlyn would handle it all smoothly. Everything went amazing and I could not imagine a more perfect day for us! We had some rain in the morning - I wanted the ceremony to be outside but felt comfortable knowing Caitlyn had backup plans for rain and it would go well either way. She is very kind, organized, and attentive. Would definitely recommend working with her!

d her, and all the way through our wedding day. She is friendly and passionate and detail oriented, basically the ideal wedding planner. I would absolutely recommend hiring Elena :)

was very familiar with our venue (L ‘Auberge Del Mar, CA). However, we really only needed a day of coordinator with some month of assistance (we had already picked most of our vendors) and while Melissa was able to curate a unique package that fit just what we needed at a very reasonable price, she was not able to be our coordinator for our wedding but promised us an experienced member of her team. We were nervous at first having built the rapport with Melissa, but we were placed with Elena, and she did not disappoint. Elena was responsive, kind, professional and experienced. She had creative ideas, patiently responded to all my emails and concerns as our wedding day was quickly approaching and handled the unexpected rain for our outdoor wedding seamlessly. She even came prepared with a cute clear umbrella for me to use. She put our vision to life and kept our interests at the forefront. I would highly recommend the I DO team, especially Elena and Melissa, if you are looking for a coordinator. You will not be disappointed and will be in the hands of the best in the business.

communication throughout the planning process, and it was so helpful as we were planning to know she was just an email away if we had any questions. Once we hit a month before the wedding, she was truly a godsend. Every single vendor we hired said "oh, Melissa is your coordinator? You're so lucky." Her reputation speaks volumes and on the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. At the rehearsal we stuffed her car to the brim with our personal items, and she put my family and wedding party all at ease. Everything was so seamless. My bouquet fell apart in the middle of photos and she put it back together with ease. She crafted a boutonniere from bridesmaid bouquets when one was lost. I'm sure there's thousands of other things that went wrong that I didn't even see or notice because she was just that good. I could go on and on forever, but the point is Melissa made our day perfect and I am forever grateful!!!!!

I knew my search was done. Jill was professional, quick to respond, helpful, and above all else, so so incredibly caring. When we began wedding planning, I had a loose idea of what I wanted, but didn't really see a path to getting there. Jill was instrumental in executing my vision, I would have been lost without her! Time and time again, Jill went above and beyond for my husband and I checking in with us, sending us ideas and helping us with every detail along the way. Cut to our wedding weekend, Jill came to my aid when I needed her the very most. The roughly 150 guests that attended out wedding on 11/11 have not stopped telling us that it was the best wedding they have every been to and that would not have been possible without Jill! I am truly so thankful for her and her team and cannot wait to find any excuse to work with her again in the future!!

a truly unforgettable and beautiful day that was beyond anything we could have put together alone. Working with her throughout the wedding planning process (and day of) reduced so much of the stress involved, and it was a huge source of support knowing that we had her to help us with all of the event/guest/weather-related hiccups. Jill was such a joy to work with, was always patient and understanding, and we had a surprising amount of fun along the way! I'd highly recommend her for any event planning needs.

not have done it without her! Jill is extremely organized, professional, kind, and supportive. She always cared and took the time to answer all of our questions, she was always a phone call away and how communicative she was made the wedding planning process less stressful. We had an emergency errand during the wedding and she saved the day with some quick thinking and going above and beyond. She made sure that our wedding day was perfect. I had multiple family and friends tell me how great Jill was with assisting on our wedding day. One of my bridesmaids said that she is the best wedding planner that she’s ever seen. Hiring Jill as our wedding planner was the easiest decision and she is truly the best and would definitely recommend to any bride! Thank you Jill!

t a month since we got married and I genuinely miss not having meetings with Jill on my calendar anymore (we still keep in touch via social media). Not only is Jill AMAZING at what she does, but she is a kind, caring, and supportive human being! When looking for a wedding planner, I wanted someone who reminded me of myself - organized, able to multitask, works well under pressure, all of the "type A" personality traits. After one phone call with Jill, I knew she was the one! As I got to know her better, I appreciated how she not only handled things like a boss, but with such kindness and grace. She became a person I could trust and rely on, and I felt as if our wedding was her wedding too. She cared about the things that were important to us and provided us with endless recommendations and tips to make our wedding the best it could be. It was not always an easy planning process, but Jill was always an email or phone call away, and did I mention her response time is absolutely incredible! When we hit a bump in the road with our venue and thought we were potentially going to have to switch venues, Jill was there with a list of alternative options. And when the thought of that made me want to cry, she checked in on me because she cared about me as a person. Jill had my back and made me feel better any time I started to stress throughout the process. Our wedding day ended up being even better than we could have ever imagined. Everything went off without a hitch...at least that we were aware of, and that is all because of Jill! I even had family and friends telling me during and after the event how great Jill was coordinating vendors and assisting guests. One of my bridesmaids said she was the best coordinator she's ever seen on a wedding day. I'm so grateful for Jill and the next time my husband and I throw a massive party, she'll be the one I call!

f our wedding was perfect. Throughout the entire planning process Melissa was there to recommend vendors, keep us on track, and most importantly to truly listen to what we wanted for our wedding day and make it possible. She talked us through all of the options for venues and design. It was so nice to have someone to do all the heavy lifting with vendor research, contact, and all the emails. Melissa helped plan and coordinated our wedding day which included two wedding ceremonies at two different venues (one Hindu, one Christian), a brunch in between the two ceremonies, and a reception in addition to a mehndi/henna party two days before our wedding. It was a long, crazy weekend to say the least but Melissa was calm, cool, and collected throughout the entire thing. She arrived early and made sure all of my decor was set up and distributed between the two venues the day of the wedding. Melissa seamlessly took care of any and all little and big problems that popped up throughout the day. She did this so well that I never even knew about most of the issues and truly felt like the guest of honor all day. From being my unofficial bodyguard against strangers trying to take my picture and stand in the aisle right before I walked down the aisle, to helping bustle my dress, to organizing the baraat procession in the morning and everything in between, Melissa did not miss a beat. The whole week of our wedding family and friends kept commenting that I seemed almost too calm and relaxed for a bride to be spending the day before at the beach and not running around doing last minute things. But I truly was that relaxed thanks to Melissa and all her hard work. To anyone looking for a wedding planner/coordinator, we cannot recommend Melissa and her team enough. You will not be disappointed!
