5 weeks before my wedding, I fired the nationwide company I originally booked and was truly blessed to contract Debbie instead. She was thoughtful, knowledgeable, kind, and patient as I bombarded her with all the details of my DIY non-traditional event. She was communicative and helpful the month leading up to my event despite only booking “day-of” services.
On my wedding day, she and her team transformed the 40 bankers boxes I packed with a hodgepodge of decor items (and some things I forgot) into gorgeous and intentional decor. I had guests and vendors contacting me in person and by phone all day, but I didn’t use my phone once, make any decisions, or felt anything but joyfully present because she had it all sorted.
I had a few vendors fall short, and she gracefully and elegantly picked up the slack while being sure to hold them accountable. I just wish I could have a Debbie in my corner all the time :)
Debbie and her lead coordinator, Katina, were truly exceptional. From the very beginning, Debbie gave me an incredible sense of peace. She guided me through the planning process, reassured me when I felt overwhelmed, and consistently made everything feel manageable. Both she and Katina understood our vision perfectly and brought it to life with so much care and intention.
On the wedding day, Katina was our absolute lifeline. She handled every detail with calm confidence, kept the entire day running seamlessly, and supported not just us but our entire wedding party. Everyone loved her energy, her organization, and the way she made each moment feel effortless.
Hiring a coordinator might seem like a luxury, but working with Debbie and Katina proved it was worth every single penny. Our wedding would not have been the success it was without them, and we are endlessly grateful for their expertise and heart. We cannot recommend them enough!!
