Silver Charm Events

came with no amenities - no water, no power, no bathrooms, no lighting, etc. It could have been a logistical nightmare but Liz did a fantastic job of managing all the vendors, insurance, deposits, and set-up & breakdown times. Liz helped us find exquisite vendors that exceeded my expectations and were right within our price range. I tend to dream big and when I went to Liz with my crazy ideas she never said "no" but simply helped figure out the logistics to turn them into reality. On the big day, she and her assistants managed our timeline so that everything flowed seamlessly. The entire day was perfect! Seeing that Liz had everything under control allowed me to be calm on my big day, and the result was a wonderful day, surrounded by loved ones, good vibes and awesome food. I'm so glad we booked Liz!

t this. I love being married! A great wedding day is a great beginning!! I really appreciate this woman! I was a bride with a vision!! Liz embraced this in me!!! Her great strengths: #1 calm, #1 easy to work with, #1 available! My difficult / demanding schedule was a perfect fit with her unlimited phone access approach. I was surprised how helpful this was to keep me calm & on track. She knows so much about her profession, like that detail of offering 'unlimited phone access' in the coordinator / bride relationship. When she first mentioned it, I thought - why is that a feature? Then I noticed her competitors didn't offer this option. I soon found out how important phone availability is!!! Her good humor was a great lubricant working through the countless details of our wedding from rehearsal, wedding day, clean up & managing gifts. She's a very good communicator and has great follow up. Her candor, responsive and responsible attitude brought cost savings & great vendors, especially the furniture rentals, a great make up artist + others. She took over my vendor coordination smoothly, did a great job setting up appointments & setting up the day. She always had recommendations when asked and did not over insert. My wedding day was splendid with Liz's management & professional team. I'm an official Silver Charms fan!! Btw, it's a little more than a year later & people are still telling us our wedding was the best wedding they ever attended. Thank you Liz!

solution for my problems within 24 hours (like when our DJ moved to the Phillipines 6 weeks before the wedding). While we only had her as a day of coordinator, she met with us at the venue beforehand, to help us ask all of the right questions. She even went with my husband to our food tasting because I had a 103 fever (note, wedding planners LOVE food tastings). The two days surrounding the wedding, Liz was on top of everything. She made sure everyone stayed organized at the rehearsal dinner. The next morning, she and her two assistants began setting everything up for us at the venue! Liz bounced around between venue and hotel all day - making sure we were all going according to plans. When I arrived at the venue I was in awe of how amazing everything looked. They took the image that was in our minds and brought it to life! Liz and her assistants came prepared with everything and smoothly handled every hiccup we had (like my garter belt falling down every two seconds, or when my husband almost saw me before getting to the aisle). Truly, Silver Charm Events thinks of everything!

with communication, and bad at planning. I have no idea how she can call herself "a wedding planner". Planning was chaotic. She was late for appointments and blamed it on traffic. She often never followed up on the things I requested. But it wasn't just me: vendors, bridesmaids, and multiple people in the wedding party complained about her as well . A few vendors had prior experience with her and wondered why in the world I chose her as my wedding planner. She kept calling them and asking them the same questions. A few weeks before the wedding, I reached out to few other wedding coordinators and asked their opinions regarding the wedding. They were surprised how poorly managed my wedding was. Some of them felt bad for me and offered help without any charge. (Without their advice, the decoration at the venue would have been horrible.) Here are the list of the things didn't go as planned on the wedding day: 1. Timeline - She was so confused regarding the flow of the wedding. She kept coming up to my table and asking me "what's happening next?" The DJ realized her info was wrong, so he just bypassed her and spoke with me directly the rest of the night, not an ideal situation. 2. Procession orders/music - She did not know who was walking down the aisle until 3 minutes before the procession started. I myself finally had to line up the wedding party and had them walk down the aisle in the correct order. In addition, she did not go over the music with the DJ, so I walked down the aisle with wrong music!!! 4. Cake cutting - Weeks prior, the DJ had asked me to pick a cake cutting song, but Liz insisted that "other people usually don't have a song with cake cutting, so just go over there and cut the cake". The DJ ultimately realized what was going on and started to play the "cake cutting song". Liz just shrugged it off saying "oh I didn't know there was a song for this," without admitting she was wrong. 5. Dismissive to our parents - she was so disrespectful to our parents. It was so apparent and our guests even noticed it. Parking - We reserved a paid parking lot for our guests and vendors, but Liz did not let the vendors know, so they ended up paying a parking fee (which of course they had to bill us for). I asked Liz to put up a parking sign so that wedding guests wouldn't miss the parking lot, but she forgot to do it. I reminded Liz and told her the vendors and the guests were confused about parking....but she still didn't do it. Additionally, the parking was not properly marked off, so we saw a lot of non-wedding guests using our parking spots, while a lot of our own wedding guests ended up having to park elsewhere. There were additional incidents which happened both during the planning and the actual wedding, but I think you get the point. We were fortunate our parents, guests, and bridesmaids were all there to help out and enjoyed the wedding despite the glitches brought about by our wedding planner.
