Like so many of the other reviews, Rachel and her team are absolutely incredible to work with, and I didn’t have a worry at all day-of for our reception. I knew that things would be handled well and professionally.
We had a situation where one of my support vendors miscalculated linens and Rachel communicated with me quickly about the situation and already had several solutions in action in order to fix the problem (she did).
Because of conflicting schedules, my husband and I were not able to do the set up ourselves, so Rachel and her team coordinated with all of our vendors for the set up of our event, exactly to our specifications, descriptions, and example photos.
Truly, hiring Rachel for planning help and day of coordination with some of the best money we spent. You think you’re going to have the time, but ultimately you’re going to be pulled in so many different directions in the weeks leading up to your event and day of, so execution of all of our hard work and planning was taken care of, and it did not stress me out.
Thank you to Rachel and her team!
Our wedding would not have been perfectly executed without masterpiece weddings. It was such a great feeling to be able to trust a team to help bring the vision to life and seemingly without a hitch. Their coordination was excellent and communication was fast and reliable always. As an out-of-town bride, I was nervous of how things were going to go. But once I met with Rachel and team, I felt safe and knew we were in great hands. Cannot recommend them enough!
Rachel, Crysta, and the rest of the team were absolutely incredible! They made every step of the way better. They met with me twice before the wedding, followed up with emails to make sure everything was the way I wanted it, made suggestions, and helped calm me down. They handled set up and tear down phenomenally so I could focus on my day. They made several quick decisions to keep everything running smoothly and keep the fun going. This is an investment I highly suggest every bride make because it will pay off tenfold in ways you can't foresee.
I cannot recommend Masterpiece Weddings highly enough! Rachel and Crysta were absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the wedding planning process. They were so communicative and made sure every detail was handled perfectly, taking all the stress of planning off my shoulders. On the day of the wedding, they were the true MVPs, ensuring everything went smoothly and that we could just enjoy our day. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and warmth made all the difference. If you're looking for wedding planners who will make your day unforgettable, Rachel and Crysta are your go-to team!
MasterPiece Weddings made our day a breeze and brought our vision to life at Baughman Center and The Big Event at Old Town Station!! Rachel, Crysta and Sara were the best. They are a must to make your wedding an event you’ll never forgot and a day you’ll actually be able to enjoy! Can’t recommend them enough. Thank you so much for making our special day everything we wanted and more!!!
Masterpiece Weddings was amazing. If you need a wedding planner in Gainesville, hire them now. Masterpiece Weddings provides a truly professional service you can count on.
We had a fairly big wedding (~150 people) and Rachel and Crysta nailed it. When we started out in the planning process, we were immediately overwhelmed. Then, it was Rachel and Crysta to the rescue. When we didn’t know where to start with critical vendors, they provided the best recommendations and made it happen.
Of particular importance to us was the ability to communicate with our planner and count on a prompt response. If responsiveness matters to you, just go ahead and hire them now.
If you are like us, you actually read the reviews of the highest rated options. If you’re trying to pick between highly rated options, know this: Masterpiece Weddings stands above and beyond anything else you’re considering. We are grateful for everything they did to make our big day so special. So, for the final time, go ahead and hire them.
Rachel and Crysta were fantastic to work with, and we can't recommend MasterPiece Weddings enough! In the month leading up to our wedding, they coordinated with all our vendors and really became the point people for our wedding. There were so many little details and decisions that we never would have thought to plan for on our own, which they were able to walk us though without making it overwhelming. It was honestly like having a wedding coach who helped us figure out exactly how our ideal day would proceed and then make that a reality.
At our very first meeting with Rachel, we said our goal in booking a planner was that we would get to fully enjoy each moment of our wedding, and that was exactly what happened. We didn't have to spend a single second worrying about managing the schedule, tracking down family members for pictures, or any of the other stresses that come up. Any issues that needed dealing with were handled by Rachel's team behind the scenes. Their experience and professionalism let us focus entirely on being present with each other, our friends, and our family.
We would 100% recommend them for any couple getting married!
Rachel and her team at Master Piece Weddings is a must have for your big day! The day of our wedding went off without a hitch, and it’s solely because of the team at Master Piece Weddings. Rachel and the team communicated with us during the entire planning process, was always available for advice/questions, and was EXTREMELY organized (she has your day sectioned into 15 minute increments, which keeps ALL vendors on time). The team also made sure that we (the bride and groom) were well taken care of during the wedding by doing little things such as plating food for dinner, meeting us after the ceremony with cocktails and snacks in hand from the cocktail hour, an emergency kit on hand at all times for any possible wardrobe malfunction, and ensuring that the venue is set up with no details over looked. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Master Piece Weddings, and highly encourage everyone to partner with Rachel and her team to ensure your wedding goes as smoothly as possible.
If I could give these ladies 1000 stars I would!! We used their “month of” coordinating services and holy moly were they fantastic!!! So many things I never would have thought of yet Rachel and Crysta were on it! Even when we had minor hiccups they came to me with the concern and multiple ways to fix it! Everything ran SO smooth on wedding day and I seriously have them to thank! BEST coordinating team there is!
Rachel Griffin and Masterpiece Weddings are simply the best in the game. We had month of support and day of coordination and Rachel and her team could not have been more valuable to our day. Every time I was worried about anything pre wedding, my nerves were put at ease. All of our vendors were so excited we hired Masterpiece and Rachel even did one of our vendor’s weddings! everything was broken down into easy chunks; they truly decode the wedding process! This is the best money you could ever spend on your wedding. Rachel made sure my dress buttoned seamlessly, that I didn’t step on my dress, and we got so many comments on how smoothly everything ran. They helped with setup as we had everything in one location and were truly invaluable. I do not have enough nice things to say about Masterpiece Weddings!
Masterpiece Weddings made my daughter's wedding absolutely wonderful! The process was actually fun - not the stressful time we'd heard about! When each vendor learned Masterpiece had been selected, they were excited - which is good! My daughter and I have wildly different tastes and Rachel gave her the ceremony and reception of her dreams! It was beautiful and uniquely her! As we were leaving, my daughter turned to me and said, "Mom, this day was absolutely perfect." Thank you, Rachel and team, for a phenomenal day!
Rachel and Crysta did such an amazing job helping us through our day, and the weeks leading up to it! We had such a sense of relief knowing that we had someone we could trust creating our timeline, reaching out to our vendors, and guiding us through the day! Our hair and makeup was running really late and Rachel made sure everything kept moving and managed to keep us on schedule without missing a beat! Not to mention they are incredibly kind and sweet people and made me feel so confident. Cannot recommend Masterpiece Weddings enough and cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and help!
We hired Rachel and her team for our wedding in December ‘22, and couldn’t recommend them enough. They were on top of every detail, clearly communicating with everyone, and making the day go extremely smooth. The entire wedding planning process was helped immensely by Rachel. She took a lot of stress off of us. The team was invaluable especially on the wedding day. They were hustling hard for us and we couldn’t of done it without them!
Our wedding was everything we hoped for, thanks to MasterPiece Weddings! They were the single most important piece in making our event memorable not only for us, the married couple, but also for our guests. We are forever grateful to Rachel and her team for keeping us on point and coordinating the whirlwind around us! The expertise, professionalism, and kindness they showed us is something we will never forget. They were recommended to us, and we are now recommending to you!
As the mother of the bride, we planned the wedding over the course of a year and a half. Made all decorations, booked all vendors, etc. However, one thing that worried me was management of the actual rehearsal and the day of the ceremony. If I became so involved in the details, I knew I'd miss out on truly enjoying the day with my daughter. MasterPiece Weddings, Rachel and Crysta came to the rescue. We hired them for the month-of package. We live in a different town, so we were able to communicate via Zoom and email/texts. Rachel has everything so perfectly organized, that she took us through our initial interview process and opened my eyes on all the things I never would've accounted for. She prepared the wedding day timeline (A/K/A wedding day Bible) for us and coordinated with all the vendors.
On the day of the rehearsal, she showed me how much she was needed. She organized the group and made sure everyone understood their roles, etc.
However, one the day of the wedding, they blew my mind. They followed our instructions to the T, and took care of all the set up and take down of the ceremony and reception. I was able to enjoy the entire day with the peace of mind that all was being handled by a professional. She was on top of every detail, and was quick to handle any glitch in the schedule with a very calm, commanding nature.
We highly recommend Rachel and MasterPiece Weddings if you're in the market for a wedding planner in the Gainesville area.
Highly recommend MasterPiece Weddings!! Rachel and Crysta are incredible! They took the time to know us as a couple and our vision for our special day. Their knowledge of weddings is vast!! They asked questions I hadn't even thought of, such as "Would you like us to plate your meal for you? What would you like to eat/drink?" Our wedding timeline was navigated down to the quarter-hour and they made sure we were on time for everything. On the day of the wedding, they really made us, and our family, feel special. Every detail was taken care of, and I truly felt like we were guests at our own wedding. These two amazing women have a special place in our hearts and I'm so excited that Rachel had the opportunity to ring the church bells as my husband and I took our first steps as a married couple on New Year's Eve. Thank you MasterPiece Weddings for your expertise and care!!!
We cannot recommend Rachel and her team enough! Our wedding was seamless and stress free and perfect because of her hard work setting up the venue and keeping everything moving behind the scenes. When we initially started planning our wedding, we realized very quickly that we needed somebody to coordinate everything on site the day of the wedding while we were getting ready and taking photos 30 minutes away. I am a bit of a control freak, so the idea of letting go of the responsibility was slightly terrifying. Rachel’s day-of coordination services were exactly what we needed. I was able to plan and organize everything on the front end, and then Rachel & team executed them flawlessly on the wedding day. I didn’t have to think about anything other than showing up to marry my best friend and enjoying the evening with our family and friends. We could not have done this without Masterpiece Weddings!
We literally couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner and day of coordinator. Even with a vendor and groomsmen change last minute, Rachel made sure everything was taken care of and we had nothing to worry about. It was great getting to focus on our wedding day without worrying about anything else. Not one thing went wrong as far as we know, which means she is either an incredible planner, or an even better day of coordinator to be able to pull everything together without anyone noticing anything. We couldn't have done it without her!
Rachel and her team were outstanding. She is an expert at what she does, and it allowed me to fully enjoy my wedding with my new husband. I couldn't recommend her and her team enough, they were just the best. She and her team of course managed all the details seamlessly, but what sets Masterpiece Weddings apart is I felt she and Crysta really cared about our wedding and wanted it to be as amazing and I did. I could not have done it without them, and can't recommend them enough!
Hiring Rachel and her team was the best money we spent on our wedding. We were planning our wedding from across the country, and relied on Rachel's recommendations and connections to find a team of exceptional vendors, all of whom were thrilled to learn we would be working with MasterPiece Weddings. Our wedding was somewhat non-traditional, and Rachel helped us figure out what did and did not make sense for us on our wedding weekend, and enthusiastically supported the more unconventional parts of our plan. On our wedding day itself, a huge storm rolled through just in time for our ceremony. Rachel and her team spent all afternoon running around in the pouring rain to make sure our wedding could go forward as planned--they were completely professional and cheerful the whole time and our wedding was an absolute success! I truly don't know what we would have done without them. We love Rachel and her team!!
Rachel was so helpful with contacting vendors and helping get everything ready for our wedding the month before. Her help was so needed and appreciated especially on the day of our wedding. I didn't have to worry about anything! Rachel and the staff at MasterPiece Weddings were so great to work with and cared so much about making our day stress free. Everything went so smoothly on our wedding day!
Rachel is an absolutely incredible coordinator, and I’m so glad that she teamed up with us to make our day so special! I hired her as our “Month Of Coordinator.” Throughout my whole planning process, Rachel was quick to answer any questions that I had or provide recommendations based on her wealth of wedding knowledge. At the one-month mark, Rachel coordinated our vendors and helped me work out all the details leading up to our wedding. When we finally arrived at our big day, Rachel took all the pressure off from me and my husband so that we could just enjoy ourselves! Rachel and her team did all of our set up, coordinated the flow of our ceremony and reception, then broke down all the decor after the reception. I am beyond grateful that Rachel and her team coordinated our wedding, and I wholeheartedly recommend them!
Rachel and her team were the BEST! Hiring MasterPiece Weddings was the best decision I made during our planning process. Rachel made our wedding day such a breeze! You can tell she is very knowledgeable about the wedding industry and gave us great recommendations, she was also a great hype woman helping fluff and bustle my dress during photos and before walking down the aisle. I did not break a sweat or stress on my wedding day at all because of the help Rachel and her team provided. WORTH EVERY PENNY!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Rachel and her team at MPW is! We utilized the month-of coordination for our wedding and it was a wonderful experience. Rachel is extremely professional and responsive. She is thorough in every email and meeting and really thinks of everything! All of our bridal party and guests agree that if there is one vendor that was worth the money, it was Rachel. She was so dedicated to the success of our day and making sure that our needs were met. More than anything, her sweet and calming nature washed all of our pre-wedding nerves away. She celebrated our love with us as if she has known us for a lifetime. We couldn’t have done it without Rachel and her team! Thank you!!
I am a COVID bride with our original wedding date being March 20, 2020 and three days before our wedding, it was postponed. Rachel seamlessly communicated with all of our wedding vendors and assisted my husband and I through a year and a half of rescheduling our wedding. Rachel was hired as a month/day of coordinator and she did not charge us any additional fees for our postponement. She was such a blessing to us, easily reached, and constantly checked on how we were feeling! On the day of our wedding, other wedding vendors kept commenting on how great Rachel and her team were, and how her team made everyone else's jobs that much easier! I would recommend MasterPiece Weddings and Events a thousand times over! Thank you so much Rachel!!!
Rachel and her team are beyond amazing! They made sure that every single detail was thought out and had a backup plan for anything that could come up. If you are planning even a small, intimate wedding, planners are a MUST. Rachel thought of necessities that hadn’t even entered our minds and made our day the most magical experience it could have possibly been. She has the knowledge and the skillset to handle any size wedding. Her team made our wedding an absolute masterpiece and my new wife and I could not be happier. Every guest was raving about all the details and intricacies that made the entire day so enjoyable. Little did they know that Rachel and her team were behind each and every one of them!
Rachel is the BEST wedding planner, she is also a mind reader (preempting my every thought on my wedding day) and one of the nicest people you’ll ever find!! When my (then) fiancé and I decided to get married during a pandemic we were intent in making our ceremony be a fun but safe event. Because we were from out of town and had unique planning needs, she worked with us to develop a custom planning package, which worked out wonderfully. From the start, Rachel worked diligently to make sure our wedding dreams came true while ensuring we had little to worry about in terms of coordinating vendors and safety standards. She recommended fantastic vendors and even those that we had already reached out to individually knew her and spoke highly of her.
On our wedding day, she handled issues that came up (since things always happen!) swiftly and seamlessly. She seemed to be in several places at the same time, fixing my hair, decorating the getaway car, coordinating the vendors and getting us a snack before we even realized we needed one, all without skipping a beat. We are so grateful to have found her and I highly recommend you hire her!
When you hire Rachel you just made your dream wedding come true. Rachel thought of every detail and every possible need and made a spectacular day filled with love and laughs for our families. Our venue was a little tricky because it was a private home so far away from Gainesville but Rachel never had an issue navigating that and made sure we prepared for every scenario. She knew the BEST vendors (I’ve had people asking for recipes from the caterer) and was able to make us feel so at ease. My husband and I had always wanted a small wedding and were able to get married in the enchanted forest that Rachel and Betsy with the Plant Shoppe Florist created. The thing about Rachel is not only the is she incredible at what she does she also is one of the warmest people you will ever meet and you will get nothing but love and expertise when working with her. One day when Covid is over I will get to give her the biggest hug for making my dreams a reality.
Best Decision...ever! Rachel and her team made sure we didn't worry about a single thing! I literally skipped down the aisle... Because I was only worried about making it down the aisle! They made sure my vendors were all on the same page, everything happened on time and we just enjoyed our day. Which made it even more magical!
I am SO grateful for Rachel! She gave us such peace of mind knowing that she had everything under control on our wedding day. Thank you!!
Please do yourself a favor and hire Rachel! My husband and I were questioning if a Wedding Coordinator was going to be necessary, and we honestly could not have imagined our day without Rachel! Everything was PERFECT! There wasn't a single thing that we had to worry about, and we truly got to enjoy every single moment of our day. We had multiple guests compliment how smooth everything went, and we have Rachel to thank for that. She truly is the BEST! She is personable and pays attention to every detail, small and big. Thank you, Rachel, for making our day one that we will never forget.
Please do yourself a solid and hire Rachel. I don't want to come off as melodramatic, but you might want to consider planning your wedding date around Rachel's availability for your wedding. She was that big of a game changer. She has multiple packages for brides looking for complete planning or a helping hand the month of the wedding. She is so kind, and so efficient and just an all around dream. She was touch with all of my vendors and probably knew more about my wedding that I did (certainly more than my Husband). She treated me like I was family and I cannot sing her praises enough.
Rachel did such an amazing job at our wedding. My Husband and I had no idea what to expect and how things would run behind the scenes on our wedding day. Rachel made sure everything ran so smoothly and so perfect! Our wedding was beyond amazing and easy! The whole day was more than we could have ever hoped for. Rachel was always on top of it, and taking care of everything. She even started to help serve food for our vendor that cancelled last minute on helping to serve the food at our buffet! I had no idea that even happened until after the wedding I had to ask how she ended up serving food. Everything with every vendor went so smooth and easy I couldn't even believe how amazing and easy our wedding day was. I highly highly recommend Rachel for any bride that was like me and had no idea where to start and end. I recommend Rachel for anyone that has an idea and dream in their head and needs help bringing it to life. I used Rachel as a day of coordinator, but I feel that is was so much more than that! I could not recommend her enough!
Rachel Griffin tackled a big, Shakespearean, interfaith wedding and gave it life
I don't know what Max and I would've done without Rachel. Early on, I was getting overwhelmed with planning and appeasing everyone. Max and I didn't have a clear vision, but knew that we couldn't have a traditional Jewish or Christian wedding, being an interfaith couple. Rachel helped us craft a Shakespearean wedding with Scottish accents to highlight our ancestry and Macbeth all at once. No question was too ridiculous or minuscule. No need went unanticipated. From our pre-planning meetings to phone calls and texts, Rachel proved herself to be responsive, capable, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She immediately assuaged my fears and tackled my workload, and did a hell of a job. Need to communicate to multiple vendors? Check. Need a new DJ because the one you had dropped less than a month before the wedding? Rachel's got you. Need your comfy shoes put under the table, or tips handed to the wait staff? Rachel is on it. She showed up early and oversaw everything with aplomb and grace. Getting Rachel Griffin as my wedding planner was the best decision I ever made. Thank you so much for making Max and I's day flawless. We will never forget it - not a single thing went wrong, and it's all because of the amazing amount of work and organization your team did behind the scenes.
Rachel was a dream leading up to and during our wedding, we leaned heavily on her and she handled everything we were worried about and more! Couldn't recommend her more highly!
I could not have imagined our day without Rachel and her ladies! She helped make our day everything we could have imagined. She was able to understand my vision even when I wasn't able to fully explain it to her. Leading up the the big day she always responded to my silly questions quickly. The day of, she kept us on schedule and was able to accommodate our every request. I recommend Rachel and Masterpiece Weddings to any bride who doesn't want to stress or worry on their big day!
Rachel was so helpful, especially for our out-of-state planning! We hired her as our month-of coordinator, and she did a great job giving us a framework and a plan for getting everything done, month by month, which was great for our busy schedules and type A brains! Her main job was the "month of," but she was wonderful about answering our many questions over email during the year of planning that preceded that month, and for that we are so grateful! We didn't end up hiring her as a true "planner," so we ended up doing all of the hiring and planning of the actual wedding weekend, but she was so helpful along the way and was such an asset as the wedding got closer! She was great about helping us coordinate all the vendors---I was SO GLAD we had hired her to do all of those week-of/day-of logistics! It took such a weight off to not have to do any of that ourselves or have our wedding party or parents have to worry about any of it. She is kind, professional, and easy to work with---would definitely recommend Rachel!!
If you’re reading this Rachel, we want to sincerely thank you and your staff for orchestrating the best day of our lives. Without your help, we can’t begin to imagine how hectic and chaotic the wedding would have been - because we still can’t believe just how incredibly amazing you made everything turn out. From setting up the venue, orchestrating the countless number of vendors, family members, and friends asking for things to do, and moving things along ever so smoothly, your guiding influence can not be overstated.
To anyone considering a wedding planner, I could not recommend MasterPiece Weddings any more highly. She worked with us for months, provided suggested timelines for each week/month leading up to our wedding date, and thoroughly assisted with venue details and a schedule for the day off. The day before our wedding, she helped perfect things during the rehearsal, and on the big day, unexpected problems were taken care of before either of us had any idea clue they occurred - and that’s not an exaggeration at all. The reception hall was utterly transformed into something out of this world - far beyond what we had expected. Everyone Rachel and her assistants interacted with, from our family members to groomsmen who provided appetizers, had nothing but glowing things to say in regards to how helpful and ahead-of-the-game she was.
Again, thank you MasterPiece Weddings so much for making our day perfect!
We used Rachel from Masterpiece Weddings and cannot say enough great things about her and her team! Our wedding was perfect and went off without a hitch! She was absolutely brilliant and wonderful to work with, the entire step of the way. We worked with her from Orlando and had our wedding in Gainesville. She was on top of every detail throughout the planning process and definitely thought of everything. She creates a perfect timeline for you and we followed this and had a great planning process (which was non stressed too!). The day of our wedding, she was so focused, professional, and made our day so wonderful and stress free! I cannot say enough good things about her and would highly recommend you use her! We had quite a few decorations to use in our ceremony and also at our reception and she had everything displayed so perfect. She is awesome!!! She is so knowledgeable with weddings and will think of everything for you. I really appreciate her and will always remember she made the happiest day of our lives so perfect!
Working with Rachel and her team at MasterPiece Weddings was wonderful! She was so kind and helpful and really took the stress off us leading up to our wedding and especially the day of. I knew we were in good hands when all of our other vendors were excited to be working with Rachel - "she is the BEST! You are going to love her" they said - and they were right.
Aside from everything running smoothly and looking perfect the day of, she took charge when we decided the day before during our rehearsal to change to the ceremony location. This was a very last-minute decision and she made it happen! If you are looking for wedding planning in the Gainesville area, I would absolutely recommend MasterPiece Weddings!
*One additional thing to note that I thought was unique about MasterPiece is that they offer different levels of planning and add-on options...the customization really helped us obtain the services we needed within our budget. Definitely a plus!
Rachel and her team were awesome! Not only was she calming and wonderful but she kept everything moving smoothly! She was great to work with and all of my other vendors knew her and were so happy to be working with her! She is awesome!!
We had an amazing experience working with Rachel and her team. She was so helpful during the planning- we got tons of recommendations for vendors, which helped narrow down the options. It was great to have her run our rehearsal. The Big Day was totally hassle free. When I got the photos back I noticed that I was relaxed and smiling every time Rachel was standing next to me.
I was planning our Jacksonville, FL wedding from out of town, and I couldn't find a wedding planner in Jacksonville that I felt like I quite connected with and trusted. I expanded my search to include Gainesville, and I came across MasterPiece Weddings. From the start, Rachel Griffin was incredibly responsive and wonderful to work with. Her services were affordable and within our budget, and she was able to customize them to meet our needs. She was always quick to respond to my (long and detailed!) emails. We used Rachel for a "Sweet Pea" package, which included a meeting a month out from the wedding, and services on the day of. She had a team of 2 other assistants with her on our wedding day, and after the wedding, we had many guests comment on how smooth things ran that day. There were a couple tiny details that got missed (like somehow our ring bearer never ended up with what he was supposed to carry, which included fake rings, but I think that's because I didn't review that part with Rachel before the day), and our band's MC messed up a couple of times, but I think those issues were out of Rachel's purview! I recommend MasterPiece weddings very highly - if you want a smooth-sailing big day and a responsive and professional wedding planner, hire Rachel.
Rachel and her team made sure that our day flowed perfectly and that our friends and family were completely able to enjoy all the moments of the day. It was so relaxing to have the peace of mind knowing that our day was in professional hands!
Masterpiece Weddings truly was a masterful wedding planner. Rachel, the owner, was the perfect blend of incredible sweetness with still being able to control the day and make sure it turned out exactly as we planned it. She was instrumental in making sure that everything was handled prior to and during the wedding—even being there before 6 am to make sure the bride was ready for our early morning first look. Rachel and her staff went above and beyond what we ever expected them to do. We attribute much of the success of our day Masterpiece Weddings being our wedding planner.
Masterpiece weddings did the most amazing job ever! They turned my wedding into the fairytale I've always dreamed of and then somehow made it 10 times better than anything I could imagine! They went above and beyond! Thank you!!
Melissa was my lead coordinator and is the queen of MasterPiece. She was incredible from the start - before we had even signed a contract with her. She kept my husband sane during a bridal expo - enough said.
She referred us to excellent vendors and helped keeps us on the planning track - even when we didn't feel like it.
During the month of the wedding, Melissa + her team emailed all of our vendors and provided them with the info they needed (schedule, etc.) She created a day-of time line for us, so when people tried to ask us questions, we could just hand them the paper and be done with it.
On the day of the wedding, Melissa's team (Lauren was the lead that day) were AMAZING. They dealt with the other vendor's hiccups, so I didn't have to.
I can't express enough how helpful they were to my husband and I throughout the entire planning process.
We hired MasterPiece Weddings to be our "day-of" - but Melissa says "month-of" - coordinators, but they were so much more.
Answering my bridal nightmare (literal - bad wedding dreams) tweets, skyping and emailing all the way through the months prior to the wedding was something I had never expected.
The entire team was beyond helpful and was our most valuable hire of the entire wedding.
I've raving, so you probably think MasterPiece was super pricey. But no, if you think you can't afford her team - you can. If you are choosing packages and crunching the numbers and are still worried - cut from somewhere else. Seriously, you need to hire them.
I don't even know where to begin. Melissa and her team were my day of coordinators and I'm so so thankful for them! Melissa saw to it that every detail was taken care of, things I would have completely overlooked. She made sure my husband and I were able to sit back and enjoy the wedding after all the hard work of the past months. She also couldn't have been more helpful in the months leading up the wedding. I'm so happy to have had Melissa as a part of my wedding, because it wouldn't have been nearly as amazing without all of her hard work.
Masterpiece was okay, they set up all of my diy decorations and helped coordinate the wedding. I had to fight with them at some points to get what I wanted, but in the end we worked it out. They were hard to get ahold of the week of the wedding, which was super annoying. I called and emailed and got nothing back until the day before the wedding. They came through and set everything up, but didn't follow the schedule we agreed upon. We had dinner at 6:30 and were supposed to have cake at 8:30 but she announced it at 7:30ish without asking me, which was bad because we were still full and cake kind of signaled everyone to go home. I am also pretty sure that they left earlier than the 6 hours I booked them for. I might use them again, but only because they were basically the only well known planner in town.
Masterpiece Weddings was simply amazing to work with! I couldn't recommend them enough. They are super organized and extremely responsive. Our wedding day was extremely stress free because of them! They went above and beyond our expectations!;They were fantastic!
