Improvisions Wedding Planning

The final product of our wedding was great, but the path to get there felt a bit sparse in the details. Communication was okay to good, with most conversations being spread over numerous emails rather than one consolidated place, which made things confusing. Just didn't feel as involved in the process as I would have liked.

I was just a guest at the wedding, but I am sure the bride and groom will be leaving a review as well. The "Designer" Michelle showed up to start decorations as the bridal party was lining up to start the ceremony. We found out later on that Michelle had taken 3 other weddings this same day and decided to come to this one last. The two day of coordinators did their best to keep the day moving along, but 4pm is not the time to start setting up tables for reception and hang an awful curtain from a tree where the ceremony was. After showing up late she was rude to the two coordinators that had been there all day even to go as far as yelling at them in front of guests and telling them that they were fired. It was a terrible experience to say the least.

I cannot say enough about Michelle at Improvisions of Grace. First of all, she is so talented. When we met at the venue for the first time, we were amazed at her visions for the space. The florals on our wedding day were beyond anything I could have imagined. She is so creative, and I believe she could bring to life any bride's vision. The best part of working with Michelle is her huge heart. She truly wants everyone to have the day of their dreams, and she is a joy to work with. We, especially my mother and I, appreciate all of the hard work of Michelle and the Improvisions of Grace team, and we will remember your kindness forever. Our wedding venue looked like a dream because of you. I would recommend this vendor to any bride, and you are in fabulous hands.

We hired Michelle about a year ago for our wedding at the Mackey House in April 2018. We were interested in draping with lights on the deck at the Mackey House and were told that Michelle was the best. That was an understatement. She did an absolutely incredible job. After locking her in for the draping, we just kept adding on services. The draping quote was out of our budget to begin with but she helped us out with pricing. Michelle was always so accommodating and helpful. At one point, we asked if she could get 2 dogwood trees for our ceremony. She looked everywhere in Savannah and couldn't find them. Instead of telling us no - she drove to South Carolina to get them! We used her services for the bouquets, boutonnières and nosegays, draping and garland on the arbor, rose pedals down the aisle, dogwood trees and extra high top table rentals. We didn't realize that she performed day of coordinator services when we first met her. We wound up hiring someone else in Savannah but sure wish we hired Michelle for that too. On the day of our wedding, Michelle had everything set up to perfection and delivered the bouquets and boutonnières to our house in Forsyth Park before pictures. She also provided us with easels, signage and extra last minute items that we needed at the venue. All of those she provided at no cost. About 20 minutes prior to our ceremony, our day of planner was so behind on doing our flowers that Michelle stepped in and finished all of our flower arrangments for the reception. Once again helping out at no cost for something that wasn't her responsibility. She just realized that we were in need of help and stepped in! She stayed at the venue for a good portion of the night and helped out in many areas. We can't explain how grateful we were for her help. I can't say enough, if you need help with a day of planner or bringing your designs to life - MICHELLE is your woman!
