ing. When the month before came, she worked with me, my mom and my husband to make sure every single detail was taken care of. I had no worries the day of my wedding and it was perfect. Kristen and her team are professional, affordable and down right kind. She made me a priority and communicated well with my vendors, wedding party and family to make my wedding day the dream wedding day. I highly recommend Kristen's wedding planning services. From creating schedules for the wedding party, to obtaining the shuttle for guest, to taking pictures, to bustling my gown, to directing everyone before and after the wedding, she did an OUTSTANDING job.

f me. They made my dream wedding become a reality. So organized, so sweet, so professional! I highly recommend getting these precious ladies to help with your wedding!

in the least. The weekend of the wedding I was able to enjoy our family and guests without a worry in the world because Deborah took care of everything. I have another daughter who will be getting married in a few years and I know my first call will be to Deborah to book the date!

rs but when I met with Deborah I knew she was the one for us. She was professional, courteous and made us all feel totally at ease. Her calming nature was genuine and I knew she could guide us through all this and relieve the stress of wedding planning. After meeting with Deborah, my parents were convinced that it was a great decision. Not one time during the planning process was I stressed or overwhelmed. If I got anxious about something I just called Deborah and she took care of everything. During the entire wedding weekend she was there making sure everything went as planned and that me and my family were always take care of. If you want a calm, stress-free wedding, you should definitely hire Deborah. My dad said it was the best money he ever spent!

g flipped for the reception. It really would have been helpful if Deborah could have stepped up and taken a little more charge to keep things on track. Her contract clearly states that she helps organize the family for pictures. After all the posed photos were complete, and the wedding party and family went downstairs for the cocktail hour, I had to hunt all over the place to find Deborah to bustle my gown. There is nothing like sweating and dragging a dress and a long veil around a room packed full of people. I would have expected her to be there and ready to bustle my gown as it states in the contract. It also would have been nice to have her there when I switched my veil, but thankfully I found a willing bridesmaid to assist me before I ever found her. The reception is when things got really stressful. As a bride, I should never have to say that but seeing my mom upset was stressing me out and taking away from the experience. Once again, Deborah really should have stepped up and taken charge of the events. It would have been nice if she had actually ANNOUNCED the cutting of the cakes. However, half the room didn't even know that the cakes were being cut. I'm not even sure if our parents were present during this time. Once again, I don't think there was a TRUE announcement of the bouquet toss and the garter toss. I am my parent’s oldest daughter and my husband is his parent’s only son, and I think these are things that they would have liked to have seen. The contract states that she would pack up the designated car at the end of the night. I didn’t really appreciate finding that one of my veils was shoved in a bag. Even worse than that, I didn’t appreciate learning the morning after my wedding that my ceremony veil and MARRIAGE LICENSE were nowhere to be found. Maybe if she had been there to bustle my dress and swap my veils she would have known where my ceremony veil was. Instead it got left behind hanging in the venue in plain sight. A red flag should have gone up when I handed her my marriage license after we signed it and she said “What do you want me to do with this?” I asked her to put it with all of my things assuming they would all make it into the car at the end of the night. At the end of the day, my wedding day was perfect. It truly was the day I have always dreamed of, but I really feel like none of that is owed to Deborah Simmons. Everything was my planning and agonizing for many months with the devoted help of my mother. I was really looking forward to relaxing and enjoying the day we planned for for so long, but I still spent most of the night completely stressed out. I’m not sure if Deborah was disinterested in me and my wedding because of my smaller budget or the fact that I’m not one of her usual Jackson socialites. I really expected more from her. Thirteen percent of my already tight budget went towards hiring Signature Occasions. At this point I don’t see any benefit from this decision. This is money that could have gone towards the flowers that came out of my own pocket or we could have not spent it at all. $1,950 might not seem like a lot to you, but I know it’s a lot of money to my parents who work extremely hard and it is a lot of money to me.

ailable to help when needed and offered tons of suggestions when needed! My wedding day was absolutely stress free and gorgeous! Everyone is still commenting on how gorgeous everything was! Deborah's Party Planning Division - Signature Parties also decorated everything for my Bridal Shower right down to the paper products! It too was gorgeous and everything I could have hoped for and more! Deborah and Kristin rock!

amazing! Kristen has a wonderful eye for capturing your ideas and the big picture and Deborah has great experience with wedding and can see what will and wont work. They both work so hard and endless hours on each wedding they do. My wedding went off without a hitch. I didn't have to lift a finger the whole day and if anything didn't go as planned, I didn't even know. They worked with me through out the entire process. They worked to ensure I got the vendors we wanted and worked with each vendor to make sure everything went smoothly. I had a lot of non traditional ideas for our wedding and they worked so hard and so patiently to make those things happen. They went really above and beyond to make sure we had the best day ever! And we did. We still have guests giving us compliments on our wedding, that I owe to Kristen and Deborah. They are wonderful at their job and will really make your life so much easier and your wedding day that much more enjoyable!!

urn my visions into reality. Deborah and her crew were absolutely wonderful to work with and having them coordinate my wedding took so much stress off of me.When I walked into my reception venue the day of my wedding, my eyes got so teary! It was exactly how I imagined. Whether you're looking for someone to plan your entire wedding, or just take all your visions and turn them into reality, you can't go wrong with signature occasions! Choosing them to coordinate my wedding was a wonderful choice- and they were truly a blessing to have around!

and can get stressed out really easily, and it was great to know she had everything under control and my mom and I could just enjoy ourselves

enue and turned my wedding into so much more than I could ever have imagined. Deborah and Kristen with Signature Occasions saved my wedding! It was truly a blessing to work with these women. Having a wedding planner is worth it ten fold!

ay to be as perfect as I did, and worked just as hard (if not harder!) to make it happen. I think the greatest testament to their work was my wedding weekend. I had a wonderful wedding day, with no stress! And most importantly, my family was able to sit back and enjoy a wedding at our own home! Thank y'all for making my wedding both memorable AND enjoyable!!

hat I had a stress free wedding day (which is invaluable to me-a high stress person!). I appreciated their input and their ability to set things right when bumps in the road arose. I am truly grateful for the beautiful wedding they were able to give me. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting an elegant wedding and coordinators who truly listen to what the bride desires.
