I want to say, on behalf of my husband and myself, that Jillian absolutely made "our dreams come true" when it came to our daughter's wedding on Sept. 4th in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. We first met Jillian 15 months prior to the wedding and ...she helped us with everything that followed. Initially, she helped us book the venue we wanted after she learned that they would only talk to us through a consultant. There you have reason number one for hiring a wedding consultant. Jillian met with and communicated with the bride and groom for 15 months. My daughter actually missed those conversations after the wedding was over because Jillian was so enjoyable to work with. She helped us all make plans smoothly and cooperatively. There was never any tension or conflict between parties and I felt that we all agreed on everything (at least, it felt that way). She helped us stay within a budget and made efforts along the way that saved us time and money.
What was especially above and beyond the call of duty was the hard work that Jillian and her husband, Erik, put in on the day of the wedding. Jillian decorated all of the tables and put together all of the flower arrangements on the tables. They coordinated all of the players, set up and took down the appetizer tables and appetizers, kept everything on schedule during the day and saw that the ceremony began on time. Our family members and friends could not stop raving about how beautiful and wonderful everything was. Jillian and Erik worked, nonstop, for 12 hours on the day of the wedding. They started the clean up and take down of tables and chairs before they left, which was a huge help for us the next morning. Since my husband and I were the last ones out of the building that night, we were very aware of their clean up efforts and of how late they stayed, voluntarily. Jillian and Erik are extremely talented, pleasant, organized and efficient people. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for wedding planning services. And, yes, by all means, do hire them for unlimited services, not just for the "day of". They were totally worth it. I'm also sure that they had something to do with the picture perfect weather we had four our outdoor wedding. Just ask if you want to see pictures of our day and/or our venue in Colorado. Cheers !! and Kudos !! to Jillian and Erik
