I don't even know where to begin; however, I'll start with: Patrice and the Pls Coordinate Team are everything you think you need, think you may need, or don't think you need, but ...you do, in planning and executing your wedding. I embarked on the wedding planning experience by telling myself: I deserve an amazingly, well-planned, well-executed, no-stress experience. I also knew I could not execute that myself, no matter how many successes I’ve had in other areas, with emphasis on the "no-stress".
Upon consultation, Patrice showed me who she was and what the experience would be. She gave me tips and tricks, because I had a series of venue tours set the week of my consultation with her. Without a contract signed, she sent me a wrap-up and pointers/next steps, with no clue as to whether I would sign with Pls Coordinate. That showed me that she believes in quality, paying it forward, and therefore she will always be blessed and in a successful ever-growing business.
I secured the full planning/coordination package approx. 14 months before our planned wedding date. And I must say: Whatever reservations you have on cost, please understand I am the most frugal of frugal and love a good DIY, a coupon, and saving(s); however, every penny was well spent with this service and experience. Why? Patrice put me and my husband first at every single turn. She kept us on-time, organized, on-budget, and well-planned. She adjusted our planning to our lives, given that we had a looming potential threat of military deployment and then later a relocation from our wedding city to another city/state. She therefore guided us on what to do and what implications deployment could have and how to best ensure our deposits were safe via wedding insurance. Thankfully, we didn’t need to cancel! But, once the relocation was confirmed, Patrice thoughtfully planned to ensure we had space to move and settle and not miss a beat.
If you are wondering: Do I need a full planning/coordination service? Take it from me: Yes! It will make your life swell and light. But, at minimum you need Pls Coordinate for the day of. And, if you need to know who, look no further, Pls Coordinate is the only way to go sis! Patrice is professional, direct, caring, and thoughtful in her approach. She is a friend, a mentor, a therapist, and a confidant. She is well-versed, knowledgeable and has the wedding event planning/execution business on-lock. When I say everything was perfect, I truly mean from start-to-finish, it was!
On the rehearsal dinner evening and wedding day, Patrice and Gina handled every question, concern, detail and whipped us into shape! Even the non-listeners in our wedding party were attentive! In every move, she put the bride and groom first, even when it meant giving us time to breathe and just prepare or reflect from our dearly loved friends and family. That protective bubble was priceless. At the end of our wedding, we exited with grace, gifts in-hand and were told to have a beautiful evening. Patrice called us the next day to remind us about wedding certificate filing and just check-in and I appreciated that additional touch.
My husband keeps saying that it was done so well that he wants to do it all again, and that is thanks to Pls Coordinate. Patrice, you’re a real one and you are a God-send!
