Paul Johnson Co

Five stars aren't enough! Out of all the thousands of dollars I spent on my wedding, hiring Paul was the absolute best money I spent. Several of my guests told me that my wedding was the best they'd ever attended, and I have to give most of that credit to Paul. I truly could not have pulled it off without him. So bear with me as I list all of the things I loved about working with him. Paul is a cool-headed problem solver. Right after I hired him (which was late in the game for hiring a coordinator), he told me, "Give all of your stress to me because I don't get stressed." I don't know what his secret is, but he juggled it all with total calmness. When I woke up on the day of my wedding, I got to just feel excited - not worried - because I knew it was in Paul's capable hands. I've had friends whose wedding coordinators ADDED stress to their day; Paul was the complete opposite of that. Paul offered so much more than just day-of coordination. He helped me design certain aspects of the ceremony and reception space, drove with me to the venue to see it in person, coordinated with my vendors, and picked up my flowers from a DC-based florist whose delivery radius didn't extend to my venue. Paul is detail-oriented and an incredible designer. He helped bring some of my ideas to beautiful life, and took others to lengths I could have never imagined. The space for my ceremony and reception were absolutely magical and perfect, thanks to his eye and experience in the industry. Paul is attentive, funny, and kind. I trusted him immediately because of his warm personality. He was accessible when I needed him and always communicated with me on decisions, usually in a way that made me laugh. My guests loved him, and my other vendors raved about him too. My only regret is that I didn't hire him sooner, because I would have loved to work with him for longer than the two months leading up to my wedding. He felt like a close friend by the end. tl;dr - HIRE PAUL. It will be the best money you spend on your wedding.
