One word: amazing. Three more words: hire the coordinator!! Specifically THIS coordinator because Brooke at Something True Planning is truly the best of the best!
I will admit, I was someone who was a bit skeptical about whether we needed a day of coordinator. Weddings are expensive and we wanted to decrease costs as much as possible. However, hiring Brooke for our day of coordination was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and she was worth every penny (and then some)!! I will also add that she is pretty reasonably priced in this space and she is an absolute expert at what she does.
I am a bit of a control freak and planned every detail of our wedding, so I was a little nervous about handing all of that off to someone else on wedding day, but Brooke and Claire absolutely blew me away. During the planning calls that we had the last few months leading up to the wedding, it was clear Brooke had already thought of everything. Every single question I asked she had an answer for, and we were so impressed with how organized she was down to every little detail we discussed. She coordinated everything with all of our vendors and put together a timeline to make sure all the moving parts were in place. Brooke also came for our final walk through meeting at the reception venue a few days before the wedding, and she had some amazing ideas to help bring together the final details for our wedding day.
We had our ceremony at a church in Fishers and the reception in downtown Indy, so having Brooke and Claire with us all day helped keep everyone and everything organized since reception setup was happening while we were gone at the church. She really understood what I wanted, and everything was beautifully set up exactly as I had envisioned when we walked into the reception space for the first time. Having Brooke with me throughout the whole wedding day made a huge difference and put me more at ease. It also really helped our parents (especially my mom) to relax more and enjoy the day without having to worry about all of the details and logistics.
They took care of every little thing, including tear down at the end of the night so our families didn't have to. Brooke and Claire also picked up our Starbucks coffee order for our early hair and makeup start time on wedding morning, and helped coordinate food and drink deliveries (amongst many, many other things) throughout the day. They checked in with us multiple times throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed and it was so amazing knowing they had everything under control so we could relax and enjoy the day! They are also two of the sweetest people and so great to be around.
I was thrilled with how everything turned out. It was truly the most amazing beautiful day and I have Brooke and Claire to thank for that!! Do yourself a favor and hire Something True Planning for your wedding, you will be so happy you did!!
Brooke and her team did an amazing job coordinating our wedding! It is so much more than just coordinating with your vendors to make sure the day runs smoothly. She brought us coffee and made sure we had lunch coming to the venue. She steamed all our dresses and made sure the photographer had all our details for the details photos. She set up our wedding signs, table numbers, card/gift tables, and more! She even brought some of her own candles and decor to set up and decorate in case we needed it. I was not a detail-oriented bride and I loved that Brooke and her team handled setting up the decor without asking me where I wanted everything. The day stayed on track and we never once ran behind schedule. At the end of the night, Something True made sure everything was picked up from the bridal party suites and all decor/gifts were put in designated cars. Truly nothing went wrong on the day of my wedding and I credit that to Brooke and the Something True team!
Hiring Brooke as our wedding planner was one of our very best decisions when it came to our wedding planning process. We received so many compliments by our guests as to how organized and beautiful everything was, which is all thanks to Brooke!! Her communication was amazing, she went above and beyond for us, and dealt with this crazy bride and our larger wedding party. We live 3 hours away from our wedding venue so we were pretty nervous about getting everything together, but she made it so easy and we could not have asked for a more perfect day. Would 10/10 recommend checking our her different services!!!
We had Something True help us with my daughters wedding in June! They were wonderful and a true blessing! Best decision we made! We were so thankful for everything they did😊
Brooke and her husband were amazing throughout the whole wedding planning process! They took the time to consider every detail of our day and made us feel so secure throughout the whole planning process. On the day of the wedding, they were with us every step of the day. They set everything up beautifully and handled any mishaps that occurred without us even knowing! Our seating chart display ended up not getting delivered by the rental company, but Brooke came up with the perfect solution so we didn’t have to worry about it at all. Not only did they help to make the whole day run smoothly, but they also were fun, calming, and excited people to have around throughout the day! Thank you so much, Something True!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brooke (and her team). We found Brooke through one of our other amazing vendors, and it seemed like fate! During our first meeting, Brooke was prepared, professional, down-to-earth, and it felt like talking to a friend. Looking back, it was the start of a friendship!! :)
Brooke is quick to communicate, excellent at decision-making, and keeps a cool, calm, and collected demeanor under pressure. When the weather went sideways on our big day, she made sure everything was taken care of as we moved the ceremony indoors, and I didn't worry about a thing.
My biggest piece of advice to brides is to hire a day-of coordinator at the very least (if your budget allows). Now, my biggest piece of advice is to hire Brooke at your day-of coordinator. She is a true rockstar.
Love this team and all that they do ❤️
Had the best experience with Brooke and her team! Every detail for the day was executed perfectly and our wedding day was so stress free knowing they had everything under control. 100% recommend Brooke to anyone looking to relax on their big day, it was worth every penny!!
Brooke planned my bridal shower and was a life saver on the day of my wedding. She thought of the sweetest personal touches that made me feel special throughout. She has extremely high attention to detail and is organized with a plethora of spreadsheets. She joyful, energetic, and brings so fun to every event. She always patient and keeps her cool when plans need to be adjusted. Brooke is incredible at what she does, I would hire her for any event!
Brooke was a terrific and very professional coordinator. From the moment I hired Brooke she was excellent at communicating with me; ensuring my wedding was everything I wanted it to be and more. Leading up to the wedding, she was incredibly personable and easy to work with. She was always willing to make the drive to meet at a coffee shops to discuss the wedding details - she helped me with details I didn't even think of!
Wedding day went amazing with very little hiccups thanks to Brooke's timeline and punctuality. It genuinely felt like a stress free day and I owe that to her.
When we hired Brooke it was beyond the best decision made for our daughters wedding day.
Brooke said she had a solution for anything that may come up. She held true to those words. I was in great hands. Brooke has a calming effect that's necessary. She takes everything in stride and keeps us out of the stress of a wedding. Perfect!!
I never dealt with the vendors because Brooke handled every aspect. She let me know when to pay deposits and kept me aware of deadlines.
The day was excellent with her and her team. The best around without even a second thought.
Hire her! You'll not regret the way she can bring your dreams into focus and execute them to reality. She's amazing.
