ing budget — a significant investment that we made specifically to reduce stress. Unfortunately, the planning process became far more stressful while she was involved. From early on, I felt like I was driving the entire process instead of being guided through it. My input was often overlooked despite the emphasis on being detail-oriented. For example, I had to correct the color of our chairs three separate times. We were repeatedly sent vendor contracts with major inaccuracies — including contracts listing roughly half the number of tables and chairs we actually needed for our tent wedding. This made it extremely difficult to track our real budget and left me constantly worried that costs would double later. There were also logistical oversights that added to the anxiety. At one point, a lighting contract estimated the lighting team would arrive before the tent would even be installed. Because this was a large backyard wedding with many moving parts that a traditional venue would normally handle, we really needed a planner who could manage the big picture. Instead, I felt like I was doing her job in addition to my own and constantly following up to ensure details were being considered. My husband and I were always professional and kind. After I reached out directly to our florist to clarify details about a floral chandelier (after not receiving an answer), Johnnie unexpectedly terminated our contract, stating we were “no longer a good fit.” We had worked together for about 2.5 months at that point and had already paid half of the contract upfront. While I do not believe the amount we paid reflected the level of service we received, we were relieved to be released from the contract without further fees. I am giving two stars instead of one because she did help us locate the vendors we ultimately used, and they were wonderful. However, after hiring a new planner, the experience was night and day — I was finally able to relax and enjoy wedding planning. If you are looking for a coordinator, she may be a better fit for that role. But for full-service wedding planning, our experience was extremely stressful, and I would not want another couple to go through the same thing
