Sincerely Chic Events

I had such a great experience being an SCE bride! Anne constantly calmed my nerves and helped me through the whole process. The SCE team made sure my big day went exactly how I wanted it and I am so happy I went with them!

Jenn and Anne are AMAZING! They went above and beyond tenfold to connect us with vendors, make things happen, and help in any way they could. And that was all before the wedding, which also flowed seamlessly thanks to Anne and her team. They worked SO HARD to bring my gothic fantasy to life, and remained cool calm and collected when I started to spazz over makeup running late (they always do). My only “note” was that sometimes communication lines went a little dead in the 2 weeks before the wedding—I would have appreciated being given the heads up if replies weren’t as speedily incoming as usual, especially in the homestretch—but it was a very small thing and doesn’t represent the overall experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Sincerely Chic for your event and hope. To work with them again myself.

Jenn helped plan and coordinate our night before event and our wedding day. I don't think that people realize the relief that Jenn had taken off of my shoulders on my wedding day. Knowing that she was there, having her handle every little detail, being the main point of contact for vendors prior to the wedding day and on our wedding day allowed my husband and I to enjoy our special day! One important thing to note about our wedding day was that our ceremony was at a separate location from the reception. Because of that, Jack and I had no idea what we were walking into when we arrived to the reception where all our guests were already at because there were SO many moving parts of the day with about 7 different vendors. I already trusted Jenn from the relationship that we had built during the planning process, but cannot put into words how relaxed I felt upon arriving. She ensured that everyone was where they were supposed to be and everything was PERFECT upon arrival. She, along with Madison, was attentive to me during the entire night. My husband and I were able to simply spend the wedding day together from start to finish without another thought thanks to these two girls!

Sincerely Chic Events provided day of coordinator services for my wedding. Overall the day went as planned, but there were still some issues that made me feel like I did not get what I paid for. Communication was hit or miss leading up to the wedding with me having to e-mail multiple times and reach out to other staff members to get a response, especially when it came to getting the final timeline. A detailed timeline was supposed to be given to us and the vendors a week before the wedding, but we did not receive it until two days prior and after multiple attempts that week to get in touch with Sydney. Part of what I paid for was peace of mind trusting that someone else had everything under control, but I spent most of the week leading up to my wedding extremely stressed and feeling like it wasn’t. My contract was for two coordinators, however Sydney was my only point of contact leading up to the wedding and the only one present (to my knowledge) the day of, but I had paid the venue for two vendor meals to cover both of them. She also arrived late, so the vendors and I arrived without her there to facilitate or assist me in unloading what I needed to bring in to finish getting ready. The venue would only allow us to arrive no more than an hour before the ceremony and my photographer was on a tight schedule for the shots she wanted to get, so every minute before the ceremony was extremely precious. Thankfully Sydney was the only one of my vendors that did not have prior experience with the venue, my photographer seemed to know more about how the day should unfold and where I needed to be than she did. The guest seating for the ceremony was embarrassing for us and frustrating to our guests since there was no one directing the family to the correct sides in the reserved seats. This was not noticed until the beginning of the ceremony when the officiant arrived up front and realized our families weren’t sitting where they were supposed to. They had to get up and rearrange themselves (one of which was in a wheelchair). While getting ready for our intros, my bridal party and I were not even thinking about my bustle, so when we went from intros into our first dance, my MOH and a couple of other guests were scrambling unsuccessfully to get it fastened while we were waiting on the dance floor with everyone watching. We were running short on time so we wound up having to dance with me kicking my train out of the way the whole time. I feel like that should have been on the coordinator’s radar while we were lining up for our intros. I was also told from someone that asked her that she had only been doing this for a “little over a year”. Since this is third-hand information, I can’t confirm this, however it would explain the issues we had. She may have been more successful in meeting expectations with the help of someone more seasoned partnered with her. I paid for and expected two coordinators to support me, but only got one. Sydney probably did the best she could with her level of experience between making sure my needs were taken care of that day at the expense of some of the other logistics. Overall Sydney was extremely professional, caring, and helpful; however I would have liked someone with more experience there with her, more responsiveness from her beforehand, and for her to meet deadlines and arrive to the venue on time (especially with only an hour on-site with a tight schedule before the start of the ceremony.)
