Ok let me start this review by saying that if you are getting married in St. Louis, you NEED Natalie for your wedding!!! My mom hired Natalie to be our day of wedding coordinator. When she told me she hired a coordinator I thought she was crazy.... We already had most of the wedding planned out I thought so I didn’t see any reason to hire anyone else. Boy was I wrong!! Natalie was SO much more than someone to help out the day of the wedding. Natalie helped us figure out our wedding weekend timeline, coordinated with our vendors to make sure they knew when and where to go, and answered any and all questions that popped in my head. It didn’t matter what time of day, if I texted/called/emailed, or if it was the most ridiculous question ever- Natalie would always respond!! But can we talk about what an absolute lifesaver Natalie was the actual wedding weekend? The day before our wedding, Natalie drove all the way out to my parents house to pick up decorations, got to the venue super early, helped set everything up, and this was all before she helped coordinate our ceremony rehearsal. The day of the wedding, I didn’t have to think about a thing. Natalie met with all the vendors who came by to drop stuff off, set everything up, lined us all up for the ceremony, made sure everything ran smoothly at the reception, even bustled my dress for me!!! The bottom line is that if you are having a wedding, what is the point of all your planning, all the money spent, if you can’t actually enjoy your day? I’m not sure how stressed I (or my family) would’ve been without Natalie, but I’m so so glad I didn’t risk it and find out!!! If Natalie hadn’t been there, I or my family would’ve had to deal with all the setting up, all the vendors, all the MANY details you don’t think about with a wedding, and it would have seriously hindered the day. AND if you think “my venue has a coordinator so I don’t need one,” ours did too and when it came down to it, they did little to nothing other than provide the space for us, and you need so much more than that for your wedding day. One final thing- I teared up after my wedding (literally) knowing that I wouldn’t be working with Natalie anymore because that’s what a sweet, fun, amazing person she is. Hiring Natalie for my wedding was the single best thing- it doesn’t matter how great your photographer is, how beautiful your venue, how gorgeous your dress is, if things don’t run smoothly, and I can’t imagine anyone runs a better wedding than Natalie!!!
