I recently used Stephanie Teague for the “month of” wedding planner services and have nothing but great things to say about her! In considering our wedding planner options, my (now) husband and I met with at least five different wedding planner...s. While there were other venders that seemed decent, we learned that these many wedding planners don’t guarantee that they will be the actual wedding planner on the day of your wedding. For example, at the time that you book with them, that person may be available for your special date, but if a larger wedding that requires their attention gets booked after the fact, they will prioritize that wedding and assign you one of their employees/assistants. While they may assure that their staff members were just as good, we wanted to know exactly who we would be working with along the way as well as on the big day. An example that one wedding planner provided was that while she may be available on the day we book with her, if later on, she receives a request to be booked for a larger wedding at a nice venue that may be featured in a magazine, she is going to be attending that wedding instead and will assign us to one of her employees. When we booked Stephanie, we knew that there would be no surprises like this along the way. After meeting with Stephanie, we knew she was the perfect fit. Not only did the services she offers meet exactly what we were looking for, but she came off as a genuine and honest person. After working with her, we know this to be true.
We had our wedding at Park Winters, a country estate in Winters, California. Stephanie had done several weddings here before, so she was very familiar with the venue and had great rapport with the Park Winters staff members. When we had meetings with the venue, Stephanie already had a lot of great ideas and suggestions. When we would express to her what we wanted out of the day and the venue, because of her familiarity and experience, she knew exactly how to make it happen. It is nice knowing that your wedding planner and the venue staff have an established relationship and work so well together, though I have no doubt that if this was Stephanie’s first time at the venue, it also would have been just fine.
On the day of the wedding, Stephanie was punctual, dressed very professionally, and was on top of everything! If any SNAFUs occurred throughout our special day, we have no knowledge of it because Stephanie handled it. She has great organizational and management skills.
Stephanie was the perfect vendor for us! We have two different friends who will be getting married within the next two years and have already recommended that they consider booking Stephanie Teague as their wedding planner. While we booked Stephanie for the “month-of” services, she also offers “partial coordination” as well as “full coordination” services. The “month-of” was the perfect fit for us, but there are different options that should be able to fit your specific needs.
Thank you for helping our special day so magical!
