Perfect Events

tion to detail were unmatched! Their execution was nothing short of perfection throughout our entire wedding and reception. We had several different vendors and lots of moving pieces across our very cool welcome celebration at one location and our wedding at another and Bonnie coordinated with every vendor seamlessly, She is such a professional and the weekend went off without a hitch, and was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. When I saw each space for the first time, it truly took my breath away. And while the wedding weekend was an absolute dream, even more than that, Bonnie an her team made the planning process truly enjoyable. I loved how she handled our rehearsal, such a pro. My maids and groomsmen loved her. So patient, even when I asked her to do the rehearsal walkthrough three times...no problem she said. And all our vendors loved working with her as she made their work so much easier. Bonnie, Terry, and Brooke and everyone else who helped us bring our vision to life - THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget this chapter of my life and will be endlessly grateful to have done it with all of you by our side.

g married. Bonnie offers a 3 month coordinator package which is what we chose. She made a very detailed timeline and was in communication with our vendors. The venue was set up nicely the day of the wedding. Now for the negatives. I am so embarrassed and disgusted with how Bonnie treated myself, my family, our friends, our vendors and the venue staff. When we had our venue tour with the DJ and Iowa Taproom coordinator, she was completely out of line with how she talked to them, above them, and about them. She pretty much verbally attacked my DJ and treated him like a child. She would not hear any suggestions that were not hers and would shush us or talk over people. I should NEVER as a bride have to apologize to staff and vendors for how a PROFESSIONAL is treating them. I was so embarrassed and became even more stressed out about the wedding. Fast forward two days and we are now at the rehearsal. I had warned my family and friends about Bonnie's tone and demeanor. It is one thing to be in charge and another to steamroll over anyone, including the bride, when it comes to suggestions. I had to tell my maid of honor to back me up and speak up for me because, again, as a BRIDE I should not be put in that position. She shushed my 70 year old GRANDMOTHER, yelled at the KIDS, and was disrespectful when MY WEDDING PARTY was trying to talk to us as the BRIDE AND GROOM. Once she left the rehearsal, we once again had to apologize to everyone for her tone and behavior. NOBODY felt comfortable and quite frankly, everyone was pissed for us. Fast forward to the next day, our WEDDING DAY. She got everything set up, a positive. I thought maybe, just maybe, things would turn around. And like we were shown many times, it blew up in our faces. Mind you we got married in a damn blizzard so stress is already high, the last thing I need is my HIRED STAFF to not fulfill their job. Once the wedding reception started and guests ate, I am not sure how much she even moved from her chair scrolling on her phone. I had to walk over, again as the BRIDE, or have my husband/maid of honor go and talk to the DJ, talk to Bonnie, and get things going. AS PER HER OWN HANDOUT OF RESPONSIBILITES, - Work with bride and groom to manage cutting cake, first dance, parents dance, and toasts. Cue the DJ/Band as to when to make announcements for each event. Cue speeches. Let me just start here. we were a little late from pictures because we had to truck through a blizzard to get to the capitol. Pictures are one of the most important parts so I will never apologize for that. She never talked to us. Never said "are we ready for the first dance" or "lets cue the DJ". My husband and I had to walk up and tell the DJ we were ready. This is against the responsibility she set. None of this bullet point was done and it caused confusion, frustration, annoyance, and just lack of belief in who I PAID to do their job. -Remain easily accessible through the entire evening in case there are any details the bride and groom would like attended to - For giggles lets just say that a chair at a table scrolling videos on your phone is "accessible". I imagine a hired professional in charge of literally running the day should be constantly moving around, checking with the DJ, checking with the couple but NOPE.

about Bonnie.  The Bride and Groom gave us all a warning that Bonnie had a strong personality. The bride had asked for help during the day that if Bonnie’s unprofessional behavior continued that I would deal with her instead of adding more stress to the bride. The rehearsal was disorganized. Bonnie did not want to hear the brides perspective or when the bridal party would help the bride problem solve as we know the bride a lot better than Bonnie.  Bonnie shushed grandmas to be quiet. Yelled at kids. Messed up the seating. And was not flexible with how the snow storm would affect the schedule of the day. She yelled at the bride and groom for being late from taking outdoor pictures.  The other vendors do not like Bonnie. When they hear she is there they know it’s going to be a hard day because she makes things more difficult.  Bonnie is great at setting up decor. If you want to spend a lot of money for that. But I think you could find someone different to not add stress to your day.  Bonnie I hope this can be a learning opportunity to reflect. Take care. 

too much!! We did the full planning service and are so happy we did. She knew tons of vendors in the industry and helped us pick the best!! On our wedding day Bonnie was so professional and calm, and helped things run smoothly! We would use Perfect Events again in a heart beat! Thank you Bonnie and your team for the best wedding day ever!

ocess, Bonnie was truly a lifesaver. She was so thorough, organized, communicative, and calming in the months leading up to our wedding. She responded to our emails almost immediately and made us feel like we were her only clients. She ensured that every detail was perfect on the day of the wedding and reception. Bonnie is kind, positive, and a real seasoned pro who goes above and beyond for her clients! She provided us with great vendor suggestions and saved us a lot of money on items that we could rent from her for a great price. She helped us shape our overall vision for the day. Highly recommend working with Perfect Events.

ry sorry for the coordinator’s family loss. I completely understand that life happens and family comes first. That said, my experience was unfortunately disappointing. Communication was poor, and I was not informed about her personal situation until midway through my wedding week. While I would have been completely understanding, I felt the timing and lack of transparency created unnecessary stress during an already emotional and busy time. I was also told during our meetings that my vendors would be contacted 2–3 weeks before the wedding to confirm details. This never happened, which led to confusion and extra coordination work on my end. Additionally, I found it difficult to share my vision because I was often interrupted or spoken over, both in meetings and during our venue walkthrough. This made it hard to feel heard or supported in the planning process. I had really high hopes for working together and believed her outgoing personality would make for a great fit, but I was ultimately left feeling disappointed and let down. I hope my feedback helps future brides know what to expect and encourages better communication and follow-through moving forward.

e sure every detail was correct. She worked within the time frames of the planned agenda and did an absolutely superb job. She also decorated the church and reception venue beautifully.

through out the entire planning. I will share her info with all others needing professional planning and execution.

one helping our daughter with the plans on location. She was very good with communication. Always getting back to us in a timely manner. We gave her our budget and she was good about keeping track of expenses and making recommendations. We had a couple of challenges with the venue and Bonnie, and her team, worked tirelessly to make it work. We truly appreciated the hard work she put into making this day happen.
