I can't recommend Belinda enough. You can trust me when I say: your search is over and you've found the best wedding coordinator.
It was quickly apparent that we had chosen the perfect wedding coordinators in Belinda and Pocketbook Weddings. F...rom the beginning, Belinda's experience, professionalism, and passion for her work were evident.
We ended up choosing the 30-day planning and coordination package as the bride is an event planner herself.
Months before the wedding, Belinda met with us and helped lay the foundation for her work. When the 30-day mark came, we were ready to go. Belinda came prepared with many questions, some of which we had never thought of. This was comforting as it showed that this wasn't Belinda's first rodeo.
During the year we spent planning the wedding, we had collected a good amount of contracts with vendors that we were going to work with. When Belinda came into the picture, she took over the contracts and the stress that came with them. We expressed our idea of what the timeline would be like and she soon came up with a tighter and more refined version of it. From here on out, any communication we had to have with a vendor went through Belinda and she always executed and followed up. During routine conversations she would fill us in on how activities would go during the wedding day. These updates would reveal fine details to us which we wouldn't have been able to work out ourselves.
One characteristic of Belinda and Pocketbook Weddings which stood out time and time again was that they were present exactly when we needed them. For the rehearsal, Belinda made everyone feel comfortable and organized. We knew exactly what to do and when to do it.
During the wedding day, Belinda and her team made it all come together. I can't speak highly enough of how the team helped make the wedding day be as perfect as it was. There were so many qualities of Belinda's which made us appreciate her so much more.
First, her scheduling was perfect. She kept us informed and on time. She added breaks, shuffled events, and kept vendors on time. We felt like we were always exactly where we needed to be. Second, Belinda and the team were there every single moment we needed them. At no point were they overbearing or too involved. It was the opposite. It was as if life was scripted, we were the protagonists, and any time we needed help, someone would magically appear to make life easier. It was a wonderful experience. Lastly, her and her team's warm and comforting nature was an x-factor which made their service all the better. Planning and being part of a wedding is stressful. While you may have a wedding coordinator who is good with scheduling or coming up with ideas (which Belinda also is), her warmth and comforting nature made every situation smoother. She easily got along with the vendors, family members, and anyone else she had to come in contact with. She and her team are masters at handling situations.
We are so grateful to Belinda and Pocketbook Weddings for helping us plan and execute our dream wedding. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who is experienced, professional, and passionate about their work. Stop stressing over who to choose and start working toward your perfect wedding with Belinda and Pocketbook weddings immediately.
