We cannot say enough about our time with Naticia! She truly was the best wedding planner but not only that but one of the most supportive people in our life during this wedding process! She truly allowed us to feel as calm as possible during this year and a half. We had to deal with many dramatics and she always was able to help us diffuse the situations. The planning process was so smooth and she listened to all of our complaints (mostly mine) and did it always with a smile. Our wedding weekend was stressful due to the weather but she made us feel so much more at ease the day of. We had some wardrobe issues and she was always right there to help me calm down. Our wedding was a huge success and the thought and organization she puts into everything is amazing. She was constantly running around getting us water and fanning us off so we didn’t faint!! Naticia was a godsend and everyone needs to run not walk to book with her! Alex and I are so grateful that you came into our lives and made our wedding day truly the best!!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Rachel and for taking the time to leave a review! I truly appreciate it! I am so happy for you and Alex and can’t wait to see what exciting new adventures are ahead of you guys. Congratulations! 🤍
Choosing Naticia and the Calla Lily Event Planning team was the single best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process!! I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of the options and things to do and Naticia was there for me every step of the way, keeping things on track, acting as a sounding board, and exceeding expectations by taking last minute tasks off of our plate and coordinating a flawless event the day of. I truly felt how much she cared and I could not imagine having gone through this process without her team. They took care of absolutely everything and made sure any hiccups the day of were taken care of and lifted off of our shoulders. She even went above and beyond to transport groomsmen who were left behind from the shuttle to make sure they got to the after party. We cannot thank them and recommend them enough!!! ❤️ - Kayla and Will

Thank you so much, Ava! I absolutely loved working with you and Raj and your family for your beautiful wedding! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the journey with you guys! <3
Any questions?
Naticia’s kindness, knowledge, and talent helped make our wedding day perfect. We began meeting with her four months prior to the big day. Working with her was a breeze. She made sure we had nothing to stress over and felt fully supported. There are so many details we couldn’t even believe existed and she helped us every step of the way. To top it off, she was an absolute rockstar the day of! Everything went so smoothly and there wasn’t one loose end left undone. My bridal party, family, and many guests made it a point to tell me how wonderful she is and how impressed they were. I highly recommend her and her extraordinary services!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much, Naticia, for make our wedding dreams come true! We couldn’t have done it without you!

Thank you so much, Spencer! You were wonderful to work with as well and hope to work with you more in the future! :)
Working with Naticia as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish, Naticia went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was everything we had dreamed of and more.
Naticia took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and offer invaluable advice and insights that helped us shape our perfect day. Her attention to detail is unparalleled, and their organizational skills are second to none.
On the day of the wedding, Naticia and her team were a calming presence. They managed our timeline flawlessly, ensured that all vendors were on the same page, and handled any issues that arose with ease and expertise. Thanks to Naticia, we were able to relax and fully enjoy our day.
Beyond their incredible skills and expertise, Naticia is a warm, kind, and genuinely caring person. She was always available to answer our questions, offer reassurance, and provide support throughout the planning process. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.
We cannot thank Naticia enough for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!!

Naticia is SO on top of every little thing regarding the wedding planning process! My husband and I never once felt stress while planning our wedding with Naticia. She is so communicative and truly cares about helping you curate your dream wedding. So lucky to have had her help!

Thank you so much, Jordan! I absolutely loved working with you and Stephen and your families for your wedding! It was such a beautiful day and I’m so grateful you guys chose The Calla Lily Event Planning! 🤍🤍🤍
As a wedding vendor, I highly recommend hiring Naticia to be your wedding vendor. I have had the absolute pleasure of working alongside of her since the early stages of my business, and many years, weddings and events since! She not only is truly one of the most organized planners I have ever worked with, she is the kindest person with the biggest heart. She truly cares deeply for her couples, and it shows through her work. Naticia is your ultimate wedding day hype girl! I can speak to this personally, as I first started my business she believed in me and brought me on for some of my very first weddings. I'll never forget the confidence she had in me, and believe me when I say, she will be your hype girl, too! You need her for your wedding day, you will not be disappointed. And just remember, if you ever forget something for your day - she has you COVERED with the most epic, emergency kit EVER. You wouldn't believe how much is packed in there... and has saved me countless times. HIRE HER NOW!

Thank you so much, Kelsey! I absolutely love working with you and watching you grow as a person and in your business! You are a freaking ROCKSTAR and are doing the most incredible things! You know I will always be your hype girl! <3
Ask no more questions.....BOOK HER! Naticia is professional, organized, creative, and so knowledgable about her field. My husband and I used her for pretty much every service she had to offer including designing, planning, and day of coordinating.
After a meeting with Naticia for her to find out what our vision was, she made an incredible design board that brought our exact vision to life including colors, flowers, decorations, etc. Naticia recommended the most amazing vendors, many of which I probably wouldn't have found in my google searches. She sends frequent emails to keep you informed on what she is working on and what needs to be accomplished which is super helpful for a Type A bride that finds all the small details of planning overwhelming. Naticia is always easily available to contact via email or phone. The number of wedding guests that commented about our wedding being one of the most smoothly run they had been to, is a true testament to Naticia's hard work. Even vendors comment on how great it is to work with Naticia. She will make anything happen!
Naticia is way more than a planner and became a sounding board for me and my husband. She was respectful and mindful of the many quirky family dynamics that come up during wedding planning and on the day. Naticia made my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable throughout the whole planning process and especially on the wedding day. Naticia understands that this is all about you and your soon to be life partner. She created time for us to step away from the chaos on the wedding day and be present with one another to soak in all the memories. I could go on and on! I truly don't know how people plan weddings without her! Hiring Naticia was the best decision we made and I would recommend her to anyone.

If you're looking for someone who will make your wedding planning process stress free, adaptable, considerate of your time and life commitments, sensitive to your unique needs as a couple, and an all around great person to be around, you need to hire Naticia Fonseca. Naticia was so amazing for us while planning our wedding, always quick to respond and never over-bearing. Her organization is beyond what either of us expected. Even better than all of this though, was how incredible Naticia was the weekend of our wedding. Helping coordinate the day and responding to every little request we had, we felt so much more at ease with her there. We had a lot of specifics (most guests from out of town, religious considerations, guests with disabilities) and Naticia navigated it all. Naticia made sure that all of our needs and concerns were addressed, and we are so grateful we chose her to be our planner.

Thank you for your kind words, Joyce! It was such a pleasure working with you and Jacob to bring your sweet and intimate wedding to life! I am so excited for you both and your future together! Wishing you all the very best! <3
We have been honored to work several weddings alongside Naticia and her staff. We have never once encountered an issue with the Callalily team on wedding day or throughout the communication process. From a vendor perspective, we always have reassurance and peace of mind when knowing that the Callalily team is in charge!! We receive detailed timelines, floor plans, and updates well in advance to ensure that each vendor knows their responsibilities the day of. Not only that, but Naticia always brings a positive attitude on wedding day, to create a very happy environment! They are worth EVERY penny! Book them up if you want a stress free planning process and wedding day.

Jillian, you are just the sweetest! Working with you and your team is always such a pleasure! I really appreciate you so much and your kind words really mean a lot to me! Can't wait to work the next wedding with you guys! <3
Trust us...you NEED Naticia in your life!! We felt very overwhelmed with planning and didn't know exactly where to start. After our first meeting with Naticia, that feeling immediately changed to excited. She is the most organized person you will ever meet and she has such a calming presence in every meeting. Throughout the last year and a half of wedding planning, we were constantly asked if we were stressed and the answer was always "No, we have an amazing wedding planner!"
We have had tons of family and friends reach out since our wedding telling us how amazing all of our vendors were and how smooth the day felt for our guests. Every vendor that we hired was recommended to us by Naticia. She was there for all of our vendor meetings and knew exactly which questions to ask to make sure they were a good fit for us and our vision for the day. In the beginning stages of planning, we talked about the overall design of the wedding and then Naticia created a design/vision board. We talked about it with her and decided it wasn't the exact vision we had so she immediately revised it and then it was PERFECT! One of the best things about Naticia is that she is able to create exactly what you want and imagine for your wedding. In every meeting we had with vendors, they would tell us that Naticia had already sent them all of the details for the day so they didn't have many questions for us. This gave us more time to talk with them about the fun parts instead of spending all that time on the logistics. She was on top of literally everything.
There are tons of examples of how she made our lives so much easier while planning, but I will share just one. When we spoke to the calligrapher who was making our signs for the wedding, she said we could pick the signs up or pay a delivery fee. We were trying to save money so we said we would pick them up. Naticia immediately reached out and said she would pick the signs up for us and drop them off after the wedding so we didn't have to worry about it. I mean...come on!! How amazing is that?!
To sum up the planning process with Naticia, she has excellent communication, she is beyond efficient while keeping you calm at the same time, and she will make wedding planning FUN instead of overwhelming and stressful.
Now, on the actual wedding day is when you really see how amazing Naticia is. From the moment, she arrived at the venue in the morning she was checking on me regularly and helping to calm my nerves. She has the ability to make you feel calmer just with her presence! The wedding ran like a well oiled machine which allowed us to really focus on each other and our family/friends. We didn't have to worry about timing or anything. Even our guests made comments about how Naticia was on top of literally everything that day.
I could just go on and on about how amazing Naticia and her team are. Not only will she give you the most amazing wedding of your dreams, she becomes a friend throughout the whole process! We had the best day of our lives and it would not have happened without Naticia. Just trust us when we say you really do NEED Naticia in your life.

s just such a pleasure! I absolutely loved working with you guys and I am so happy and excited for you and your future together! <3
I cannot express enough how grateful my husband and I are for the outstanding services provided by Naticia and her team. From the very beginning, she demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail that truly made our special day unforgettable. We wholeheartedly give them a well-deserved 5-star rating!
First and foremost, our wedding planner took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding reflected our unique style and personality. Her ability to transform our ideas into reality was truly remarkable. She effortlessly guided us through the entire planning process, offering invaluable advice and suggestions while always respecting our choices. I truly mean it when I say we couldn't have done it without her.
Communication was seamless throughout the entire journey. Naticia kept us on track, quickly responded to any questions we had, and provided us with regular updates/ keeping us informed about every decision made. Her organization skills were exceptional, ensuring that no detail was overlooked. Our family truly appreciated her timelines, guides, and planning platform to easily provide updates to everyone. We felt completely at ease, knowing that our wedding was in capable hands.
The attention to detail displayed by our planner was truly remarkable. From the stunning arrangements to the perfectly arranged seating, every element was meticulously executed. They went above and beyond to create an ambiance that was both elegant and enchanting, leaving our guests in awe.
On the day of our wedding, Naticia's presence was invaluable. She flawlessly coordinated every aspect, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and according to schedule. Her calm and composed demeanor helped alleviate any stress we may have had, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day with our loved ones. I always felt like she was close by enough to help us with anything we needed still with enough space to allow us to be in the moment. She rescued me countless times that night and made sure everything was handled at the end of the night so my family wasn't left with the burden of closing up. Planning a wedding is stressful no matter what, but having Naticia there has made all the difference. She went above and beyond and sent us a beautiful engangement gift when we first signed with her and an extremely thoughtful gift on our wedding night. You can tell she loves what she does and her passion shine through in her work.
Naticia's expertise, professionalism, and dedication is truly exceptional. She turned our dreams into reality, creating a wedding that surpassed all our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking a stress-free and unforgettable wedding planning experience.

Christina, this is such a sweet and wonderful review! Thank you so much for all your kind words! It has been a pleasure working with you and Austin and I am so thankful to have been a part fo the journey with you both! <3
Naticia was the best decision we made in preparing for our wedding. She was technically our “coordinator” rather than a “planner”, but she went well beyond her contract to make sure our day was a big success. She was a calming force throughout the entire process. Every time we jumped on the phone with her, we gained sanity, focus, and optimism.
Naticia helped us secure the wedding staff, the appetizers, the videographer, and the bouquet and boutonniere. She stayed in close touch with all our vendors and made sure that all the todos were checked off the list. She redesigned the tent floorplan brilliantly, and did some magical extra bustling of my wedding dress to keep it manageable for the first dance.
Our day was even more beautiful than we expected. At the last minute, everything came together in such a beautiful and coherent way. We highly, highly recommend working with Naticia for your big day!
Response from the Vendor on 09/11/2023
Thank you so much for sharing this review, Lex! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave these kind words! I hope you and Victor are doing great and enjoying married life! 🤍
It is so hard to capture all of the work that Naticia put in to plan our wedding day. We simply could not have functioned without her! Every time we think about our wedding day, we are incredibly grateful for Naticia. She was with us from the time we got engaged (maybe even a little before so we could ensure she would be available for us) all the way through until the after party of our wedding.
Regarding Naticia's work, she is organized, proactive, confident, and diligent. She kept us in line throughout the planning process, communicated with us every month (or more when needed) to make sure we were on track with planning, coordinated with each vendor to keep everyone on the same page, and made her self available to everyone who needed it on the wedding day. She is incredibly flexible with planning and is quick to react to any last minute problems. I am sure there were plenty of things that could have gone wrong on our wedding day that we didn't even know about because Naticia handled it swiftly and effectively. As a person, Naticia brings a beautiful presence of positivity and enthusiasm every time we are with her. She truly became a friend to us throughout the wedding process and having her with us on wedding day brought such a comfort. She was our go-to girl throughout all of our wedding meetings and even came with me (the bride) to my last dress fitting so she could learn the bustle. It meant so much to us to have her with us along the process and we are forever grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day so perfect. As I mentioned, our wedding day would not have been so smooth and stress-free without her. I would recommend her to anyone (and will) endlessly!

Thank you so much for sharing these kind words, Annie & Michael! I am so grateful to have been a part of you day and your wedding planning journey! Thank you so much for choosing me! It truly means everything to me. You two are wonderful people...
and I wish you a life filled with love, laughter and a whole lot of Taylor Swift moments! 💕
Naticia was hands down the most crucial and integral person for our wedding in May 2023! We truly would not have had the wedding of our dreams without her. She is timely, professional and considerate throughout the whole process. We loved that we could customize what she helped us with, and that she was so consistent through each step! From planning the vision, to vendor and venue visits, to payment deadlines, and answering all the questions in between, Naticia made sure we were confident and utterly happy with every decision we made. On the day of, The Calla Lily team was efficient, timely, and helped to ensure that every single detail went off without a hitch, and if it didn’t, they were there to help make the decisions so my husband and I (and our families) could just enjoy the day! I seriously can not recommend Naticia and The Calla Lily Event Planning enough- one of my friends is already using her services because of how amazing of a job she did with my wedding and wedding planning process!

Thank you so much, Lyndsey & Matt! It was an absolute honor and a privilege to work with you both! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and you two are some of the sweetest people I have ever met! Thank you for recommending me to your friends ...
and family as well! That means more to me than you know! <3
Hiring Naticia as our wedding planner was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our big day! She is an absolute pro – organized, knowledgeable, and has an incredible network of connections in the wedding industry. I would recommend The Calla Lily Event Planning to anyone planning a wedding, regardless of their organizational skills or preferences. Naticia is incredibly adaptable to different styles and tastes, and was always there to guide us through the planning process, from creating a stunning design board to keeping track of all the little details that make a wedding day truly special. She was an absolute godsend throughout the planning process – no matter how busy our lives got, we knew we could always count on her to keep everything on track.
But what really blew us away was how Naticia went above and beyond to make our day truly unforgettable. Not only did she work with us every step of the way, but she also collaborated with our siblings to surprise us with a live painting on our wedding day! It was such a special and unexpected touch, and it truly added to the magic of the day.
On the day of the wedding, Naticia was a dream come true. She was calm, collected, and worked seamlessly with our venue and vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. It was such a relief to know that we could simply relax and enjoy our day, knowing that everything was in her capable hands. Working with Naticia was truly a joy – her professionalism, experience, and dedication to her craft really shone through at every step of the way. We honestly cannot recommend her highly enough – if you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable, look no further than The Calla Lily Event Planning and Naticia!

The Calla Lily Event Planning made our wedding dreams a reality. I can't recommend Naticia enough! Throughout the stressful wedding process she made things incredibly easy, provided support and ensured that our day went off without a hitch. Initially, I wasn't sure exactly the color scheme and theme to go with, so we used Naticia's design services to help blend both my husband and my style together and create a romantic vibe with some twists. She was there throughout the whole process and provided absolutely amazing vendor recommendations. The day of the wedding not a single thing went awry that I'm aware of at least and I owe that entirely to Naticia's calm presence and being on the ball about every little detail.
Response from the Vendor on 01/03/2023
Thank you so much for your kind word’s AJ! What a wonderful way to start off a new year! I absolutely loved working with you and Colin! Thank you so much for choosing me to be your Wedding Planner! ♥️
I HIGHLY recommend Naticia at Calla Lily Event Planning. She is an impeccable planner, highly detail oriented in working with schedules, vendors, budgeting, decor and managing family dynamics while quelling drama. We could NOT have done this without her.
She planned our Philly wedding while I was deployed in the Middle East and my husband was living in Nashville. Naticia took on this big project only 3 months prior to the big day.
She reviewed all of our vendor contracts, sent payment reminders, kept us on task, made virtual appointments with all vendors, toured our venue, and put together an impeccable timeline.
She dealt with last minute schedule changes and challenges, never once giving us a hard time. On the day of the event she had everything ready and worked with all of vendors seamlessly. She did all the decorations with care, she managed my family who was running all over there hotel and made last minute changes to toasts without blinking an eye.
We certainly did not make things easy for Naticia, but she made sure to get my input for all changes and ensured we had a beautiful wedding day that we actually enjoyed!

Thank you guys so much! It was such an honor and privilege to be a part of your special day with you! Wishing you all the love and happiness in the world! <3
If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further and book Naticia ASAP! I will never stop singing her praises for the absolutely fantastic job she did with planning our wedding. From the very first phone consultation, Naticia made us feel special and important. She heard out our vision and validated our thoughts. Choosing to move forward was a no-brainer and the best decision we made because without her, the wedding of our dreams never would have came to life. Naticia went above and beyond with everything you could ever need a wedding planner to do. She comes full of wisdom, advice, and knowledge regarding the wedding industry which comes in handy at every turn of your wedding planning journey. My husband is military so planning our wedding while being stationed across the country posed a challenge; Naticia took on that challenge and exceeded our expectations. Our wedding day was 10/10 and perfect down to the last detail because of her and her teams effort. I was able to enjoy the entire day without a single worry because Naticia handled every single detail and executed all things including set up, breakdown, and everything in between. Naticia is more like family now and we could never be more grateful for the incredible work she has done. She is second to none and the best wedding planner you will find if you're lucky enough to book with her.
My wife and I had to plan a wedding while living overseas. Without Naticia’s expertise I don’t know how we would’ve gotten it done. Planning everything remote was daunting, to say the least. Naticia really went above and beyond to accommodate our overseas schedule, meeting with us on zoom calls at irregular hours. Everything was so professional and yet genuine. She made sure to meet our needs and budget down to the finest details. Highly recommend Calla Lily if you and yours are looking to tie the knot ;)

We were very glad we hired The Calla Lily Event Planning! Naticia’s authenticity resonated with me the moment I read the “about” section (“meet the planner”) on her website. Her professionalism and kindness came shining through as we chatted on the phone and in every interaction thereafter. Naticia’s listening skills served as a true foundation that paved the way to wedding day: She doesn’t listen “to respond” (as is so common among many well-intentioned people); rather, she listens to understand, explore, show empathy and connect. This makes you feel seen and heard and establishes the trust and rapport needed to accomplish your goals together and navigate whatever comes.
My favorite thing was that Naticia expertly let me experience the joy of planning while supporting me with the professional insight needed, taking on tasks I didn’t want to do or didn't have time to do, and coaching me on items I was unfamiliar or extremely frustrated with during the planning process. I could count on her intelligent perception and wedding management the whole way through.
A few of my vendors told me she is one of the best planners they’ve ever worked with. And, I was pleased to have her represent me in interactions with them – she was always organized, professional, kind, and kept everyone connected.
The Calla Lily’s presence on the wedding day is absolutely invaluable. You have no idea how much you need a team there until you are “in it.” Naticia and her team handled so many things (a few of which were above and beyond!) it would be impossible to list them all – Let’s put it this way: without them the wedding would not have been possible. Naticia was professional, thoughtful, compassionate, engaged and enthusiastic with me, the wedding party, our families, and everyone she interacted with in order to execute the wedding day! My husband, whose motto had become “stop spending so much money on the wedding” said “The Calla Lily Event Planning was worth every penny.” (So that means A LOT!)
I feel that all of these wonderful things come naturally to Naticia – which means they will always be on board in all of her interactions with future brides!

Our wedding last weekend was a real dream come true. It was the perfect day and that was in huge part due to Naticia and her team at Calla Lily Event Planning. After our engagement, we questioned whether we really needed a wedding planner and if it was worth the expense. I can now definitively say that we absolutely did need a planner and Naticia was worth every single penny! She was our coach through the planning process. She helped keep us on track with all the tasks and gave us so much great advice. She had vendor recommendations, creative ideas, and tons of experience. On the day of the wedding several people commented on how relaxed I seemed (those who know me will know that “relaxed” is not a word that usually applies to me). Naticia and her team were with us through the whole day to make everything run smoothly. All I had to do was show up and enjoy my special day. She handled all the behind the scenes communications with the vendors to hammer out details and had so many wonderful ideas that never would have occurred to us. When we had to postpone our wedding, she was so supportive. We expected the process of postponing to be a nightmare but it ended up being shockingly simple thanks to her help. Any other issues that came up in the planning process she handled swiftly and professionally. She is also just the sweetest person and her calls and emails were always so cheerful. You can tell that Naticia genuinely cares about the couples she works with and giving them the perfect wedding of their dreams. Choosing Calla Lily Event Planning was one of the best choices we made for the wedding and we can’t imagine trying to plan a wedding without Naticia!

Karen & Matt, you guys are so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing me! I am so happy that you two finally got to celebrate your absolutely gorgeous wedding day! And I can’t thank you enough for letting me be a part of ...
the process with you! ♥️♥️♥️
This is a long review but I just really want the world to know who Naticia is and what Callalily can do to make your dream wedding come true!
Working with Naticia of Callalily was the best decision we could have made for our wedding! My husband and I initially booked her as a day-of coordinator for our July 2020 wedding. From our first conversation, she and I really connected with each other: she was very friendly and listened to everything I was envisioning for our wedding.
Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, we had to postpone our wedding celebration (three times!), and my family who live outside the country were not able to fly in during that time. But my husband and I decided we were going to get married on our wedding date all the same, just without the reception.
During those difficult times, Naticia never left my side! She constantly checked in on us and offered help and guidance for our intimate wedding celebration.The day before our July 2020 wedding, she surprised me with a wedding gift!
During that time, I truly felt that Naticia's sincerity and love for her couples is beyond words! She does not only work for business but to bring happiness, love and magic to the world one wedding at a time!
Naticia was so patient and understanding with us. She worked with us through all three of our wedding celebration postponements. We booked her as a day-of coordinator but she delivered way more than what we expected and even more than what was in our contract! In order to make things work, she even used her own personal vehicle! That right there meant a lot to us!
Our wedding timeline was very smooth! Naticia made sure that all the things we requested happened. She is really the best wedding coordinator out there! She will make sure that her couples have the best wedding ever! She will never let you down and will work above and beyond! She is a super woman and a fairy godmother!

t truly was an honor to be a part of your day! Thank you both so much for trusting me! That means so much to me! <3
Words cannot begin to describe how Amazing Naticia was! She helped us plan, organize and coordinate our out of town wedding with the utmost professionalism and proficiency! Day of the wedding her and her husband Dan took on all the roles we needed to allow our bridal party and family a task free day! After the wedding she loaded all of our decor, gifts and goodies and brought them back to our hotel room for us so again we didn't have to assign somebody that task! Naticia made the whole wedding planning and execution a completely stress free experience for us. If you are remotely questioning whether you even need a planner or not the answer is you do and you definitely want it to be Naticia!

Naticia is the absolute best and was truly a GIFT to us throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. As our day-of coordinator, she went so above and beyond what we ever could have expected. There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful she was to work with. I am usually pretty type A and have trouble relinquishing control, but Naticia's expertise and knowledge made me feel so comfortable letting go a bit and her team perfectly executed every vision I had for the day. Her incredibly uplifting and positive spirit brought us so much joy, and working with her was truly such a FUN experience. If there was anything that went wrong on our wedding day, I have no idea what it was because she took care of everything and did it with a smile on her face. Second only to marrying my husband, hiring Naticia was the BEST decision I ever made!
Response from the Vendor on 04/27/2022
Nothing but happy tears 😭 Thank you both so much! You two are so sweet and kind and I appreciate your words so much! Very full and thankful heart for wonderful couples like you! ♥️
Naticia is absolutely AMAZING! She helped us to plan an elopement after our original plan went sideways, and I have to say I don't know what we would have done without her. She is organized and she thinks of every single little detail you would have never known to think of. She helped with floral arrangements and room decorations that really made us feel like our elopement was so special. We are still working with Naticia for our bigger event in 2023 and we couldn't be more thrilled to continue working with her. She really cares about making your event special and she treats her couples with care and warmth. I honestly could not say enough good things about Naticia!
Response from the Vendor on 02/11/2022
Thank you so much, Julie! You are so sweet and your kind words mean the world to me! I’m so excited to continue working with you both and can’t wait for your big wedding celebration in 2023! ♥️
NATICIA IS THE BEST! Seriously. I'll tell you more below, but if you read nothing else, know that working with Naticia is without a doubt a 20/10 would recommend situation. She's the greatest.
We hired Naticia for event design, to assist with wedding planning and to be our day-of-coordinator. Her presence and expertise transformed our wedding planning experience from stressful and overwhelming to an absolute delight. When the world shut down shortly after we got engaged in February 2020, our wedding planning was flipped upside down and my anxiety went through the roof. My amazing husband kept our planning going by finding our main vendors, but by the time we met Naticia, we were both at our wit's end.
Everything changed when we hired Naticia. Within weeks, she had taken our out of the box retro/vintage/tropical wedding theme idea, and turned it into a flawless vision board. She went through each idea on the board with us to see what we liked/disliked, LISTENED to everything we said, and then went above and beyond by reaching out to her contacts and vendors to put everything in motion. When I realized I'd forgotten to book some main vendors, Naticia was to the rescue - before I knew it, we had an amazing florist and hair & makeup team at the ready. When I struggled with some issues at our venue, Naticia ran interference. Naticia facilitated almost all of our fine details, reminded us about every deadline/critical "to-do", took ownership of our event without being controlling, and made sure we had FUN the whole way through.
The day of coordination was just as flawless. Naticia was the point person for everyone in the bridal party that day, and we were all so grateful she was there. If something went wrong at my wedding, I never knew - Naticia was there to handle everything. She created and facilitated the best day of our lives, and for that we will always be so grateful.
I know this is getting long, but one more thing - in addition to being an expert at her job, Naticia is just one of the all-around coolest people I've ever met. She is funny, brilliant, kind and sweet. I went through some difficult person times during the wedding planning process, and Naticia showed tremendous kindness and compassion. She is someone who will truly care about you as her client. For me, she took a process I was dreading and turned it into some of the fondest memories of my life. We could not have done it without her, and I couldn't recommend her more!

Kate, this is so beyond sweet! Thank you so so so much! I am just so beyond grateful for you and Scott! Thank you so much for choosing me! You two are amazing people and I am so glad to have met you both! Love you guys so much! <3
Working with Naticia was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process! My husband and I got engaged in 2018, and ended up having to move our wedding from October 2020 to October 2021. I thought we had most of the details locked down after over 2 years but as we got closer, I realized there were a bunch of things we hadn’t even thought of. We also had to replace our DJ and florist within months of the wedding. We were totally overwhelmed until Naticia stepped in and literally saved the day (every day for months haha). From the very first conversation, Naticia made us feel a sense of complete calm and immediately put our minds at ease. She helped us navigate dozens of decisions and never let us lose sight of the ultimate goal. She collaborated with all of our vendors and made us feel incredibly comfortable and confident the entire time we worked with her.
When the weekend finally came we felt like we were floating on a cloud. Naticia made sure our rehearsal went perfectly and kept us on track the entire day of the wedding. It felt almost telepathic because anytime my husband or I started to have a thought about needing something, she was there instantly and took care of us. She made sure we were always prioritized, even gently excusing us from some excited friends and family to make sure we were able to eat our dinner haha.
We spent months leading up to that day having dozens of calls and countless texts. When we talked, it sometimes felt like we went on for hours. She was so much more than just our wedding planner. She was a true friend to us throughout the process and she always listened with an open mind and put our wants and needs above all else. Naticia is the most thorough, organized, and incredible person who never overlooked a single detail. Her hard work made our wedding day a beautiful and flawless occasion and we’re forever grateful to her. It was more than we ever could have hoped for. Hire her, we promise it’ll be the best thing you do! With love - the Boyds <3

Jenna & Ray, you guys are amazing! In tears over here reading this! Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly appreciate every word! I loved working with you both and I’m so grateful that you chose me to help you through your final wedding...
details! ♥️♥️♥️
Naticia of the Calla Lily Event Planning is the best at what she does! Naticia was absolutely amazing to work with from day one. Naticia was invaluable in the planning process, especially when we had to postpone and rebook all our vendors. She helped to keep us calm and stay optimistic when COVID kept ruining all our plans. Once we finally were able to move forward with our November 2021 wedding, she helped us every step of the way, from getting in touch with the venue, communicating and coordinating details between our vendors, creating an amazing timeline of events, and so much more. She helped us navigate difficult situations with some of our vendors, which alleviated a lot of stress for us. I think it’s worth noting that the coordinator at the church where we got married explicitly said that Naticia was the best planner he had seen in years, if not ever. On the day of our wedding, Naticia was there to help us through every moment, making sure everything went smoothly and as planned. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the wedding day because of her. We had a lot of DIY décor for the reception, and her assistant set it all up and made the space look more incredible than we could have imagined. They really brought our Enchanted Autumn vision to life! We will be forever grateful to Naticia for all her hard work, help, and support. She was a dream to work with—very responsive, organized, passionate, and just a joy to be around. I cannot recommend her enough!

Thank you so much Jessica & Jimmy! I absolutely loved working with you both on this journey! You two are so wonderful and thank you so much for your kind words and allowing me and The Calla Lily Event Planning to be a part of your day with you!...
Wishing you all the happiness in the world! <3
AMAZING!!! I found Calla Lilly Event planning on Instagram, noticed she had worked with our venue before and I followed her account for awhile before I reached out.
I am SO happy I reached out. From the very first time I face-timed Naticia I felt a sense of relief when it came to planning my wedding. Her bubbly personality and passion for what she does shines through and makes you feel confident you are in good hands. She took all the behind the scenes work completely off my shoulders -in addition to SO many other things- things I would have NEVER thought of doing. I even heard from my other vendors how wonderful and organized Naticia is/was! No matter what question or issues I had, no matter what time of day it was- Naticia was always right there to help. I worked with her closely for 3 months leading up to our wedding day. If it was not for Naticia, my day wouldn't have nearly been what it was. From weeks leading up, the rehearsal dinner and day of- having Naticia with me made my experience everything I ever dreamt of for my wedding day. I was not anxious, nervous, stressed, because I had Naticia as my coordinator. She went above and beyond to make sure our needs were meant and we were enjoying US and OUR day and did not have to worry about a single thing. Her work ethic, incredible! She didn't stop, not for a second.
You will not be disappointed with The Calla Lily Event Wedding,. If you have any kind of experience like I had, you will be sure to have the wedding of your dreams and in the process, gain a lovely friend <3

Naticia was great to work with. We couldn’t have done our November 2021 wedding without us. She stuck with us despite a lengthy COVID postponement: She is very kind and answers all of your questions. She really does go above and beyond. She takes care of so much on the actual wedding day that you will have no worries. Everything turned out beautifully!
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2021
Thank you so much for your kind words, Alex! They really mean everything to me! You and Frank are wonderful! Sending you so much love! <3
It goes without saying that planning a wedding in 2020 was a unique challenge. And planning two events--a small ceremony in 2020 and a "full" wedding in 2021--was something we never could have pulled off without Naticia's help.
From the very beginning, she helped us plan our backyard wedding so that it felt like us. She helped us select the right vendors, got us great deals on the things we needed, and offered guidance when we weren't sure what to do next.
When the world shut down and we needed to make a ton of dramatic shifts in plans, Naticia knew exactly what needed to be done. She rescheduled the necessary vendors and helped us navigate the entire re-planning process. She made us feel like she'd done this all before, despite this being a once-in-a-century event. In the midst of some of the most chaotic months of our lives, Naticia always made us feel confident that the wedding we'd hoped for would still become reality.
Day of, she and her team were rock stars. Whether it was big stuff like coordinating all of our incredible vendors, or even just helping us fasten our boutineers, I didn't spend any of the wedding worrying about logistics. She checked in throughout the day, and was super flexible and on top of everything.
We can't recommend Naticia enough!

d been planning! There is so much love between the two of you and your families and that was so apparent in the planning process and on your wedding day! So happy for you two! Wishing you all the love and happiness for a wonderful future together! <3
A very wise person told me to get a ‘day of’ coordinator for my wedding. In my search, I found Naticia and the second I spoke with her, I knew she would be the person who will help me decide, keep me track and be my go-to on my wedding day. And let me tell you, I was right! Naticia is organized, resourceful, flexible and experienced in this space. We had issues with our venue coordinator, including him not showing up on the wedding day, but because I had Naticia the event went off flawlessly! She knew how to handle EVERYTHING, we had an issue with the bridesmaids dress, she helped fix, we had changes in the ceremony, she was able to manage and communicate. She kept the day moving, the events organized, ensured the bride and groom were being cared for, and tended to all the nitty gritty details. She even brought us grilled cheese!!
Thank you, Naticia - you truly saved the day and made our wedding so so special.
I cannot recommend her enough and if you are interested, book her ASAP.

I recently worked with Naticia of The Calla Lily Event Planning on a wedding in Lancaster, PA in September 2021. Wow! She is extremely organized and detail-oriented and the sweetest person you'll ever work with! She made the entire event run like clockwork. Her experience is very apparent - she thinks of everything! Everything from her communication to her designs is professional and amazing. I can't recommend her more!!

Thank you so much, Nicole! You are the sweetest and so wonderful to work with! I appreciate your kind words! <3
Naticia and her sister made my husband and I’s day so very special. She assisted us beforehand with vendor and timeline coordination and answered every question we had about our wedding. Her vendor coordination made the day go so smoothly and all of our vendors knew exactly where to be and when to be there. Naticia also made the wedding party and the vendors separate timelines to ensure that everyone was aware of the schedule for the day.
Her and her sister were such a big help during the wedding day. They coordinated decorating and vendor services and made sure that my husband and I stuck by the schedule that we carefully developed with Naticia. It was really crucial that we stuck to the schedule to make sure we got every highlight in and kept the flow of the event going. Our day turned out super fantastic and a lot of that was due to Naticia’s hard work. We can’t thank her enough for all of her help to make our day as special as possible.

Thank you so much for your kind words Brooke! I am so thankful to have been a part of yours and Dylan’s special day! Wishing you all the happiness in the world! ♥️
I cannot say enough amazing things about Naticia and her planning services! She was the perfect planner for our wedding day. We had to change our venue about two months prior to our wedding due to COVID precautions - she handled everything and made it a seamless process with all of our vendors. I truly cannot imagine pulling off the day without her. She's such a calming presence too and just made the whole wedding process such a breeze. She handled all the logistics of our day and allowed me to enjoy being a bride/getting married to the max. I seriously cannot recommend her enough!

Thank you so much Jen! That is so sweet and I loved working with you and your wonderful family! ♥️
We were married in June 2020, which as we all know, was a few months into the pandemic. Naticia was beyond supportive, flexible, and creative in her ideas and execution. We must have changed our plans five times, and she continued to work with us to have our special day. For us, her most impressive attributes were how well organized she was and follow-up each week with updates and deliverables. It was an amazing day with people masking and tailgating on our front lawn, 165 people on Zoom, and a beautiful COVID-19 friendly, safe dinner for 23 people in our backyard.
Response from the Vendor on 03/08/2021
Thank you so much for your kind words Ginny! That really means so much to me! It was a such a pleasure working with you and Charlton and you have such a wonderful family! Wishing you all the best for your future together! <3
I couldn't have pulled off my 2020 microwedding without the expertise, assistance and support of Naticia from The Calla Lily Event Planning. In addition to being an incredibly skilled event planner, Naticia is a wonderful person and truly (I mean, truly) cares about her couples.
From the moment we began working together on a partial wedding planning package (pre-pandemic) to pivoting to a November 2020 microwedding, Naticia proved herself to be a no-brainer investment and irreplaceable part of our wedding dream team. Prior to March 2020, Naticia had recommended and connected me with several amazing vendors for our wedding, assembling a group of professionals who not only brought my vision to life, but were also personally invested in the success of our wedding. When things shut down in March, Naticia kept in touch with me almost weekly, checking in to see how I was doing, informing me of the latest event restrictions and guidelines and assuring me and my husband that she'd be by our sides every step of the way. This extra touch meant so much to me -- Naticia often served as a sounding board and friend, in addition to a wedding planner.
When we made the decision to postpone our big wedding to 2021, Naticia jumped into action and scaled down our wedding plan to accommodate a much smaller group for a microwedding. Leading up to the wedding, Naticia took so much stress and worry off of my plate by coordinating and communicating directly with our vendors and crafting a detailed event timeline that kept the day on track. Two days before our wedding, our videographer (someone I had contracted with prior to working with Naticia) unexpectedly needed to cancel, and Naticia found us a new videographer in the span of three hours. Truly impressive!
On the day of the wedding, Naticia was a real superwoman -- I didn't have to worry about a thing and could truly enjoy the day because I knew Naticia had everything under control. From coordinating with the vendors to decorating the event space and even helping me to carry my heavy veil down a set of stairs right before I walked down the aisle, Naticia truly did it all.
Naticia is extremely organized, detail-oriented, communicative and kind -- everything you could hope for in a wedding planner.
While planning two weddings in the span of a year isn't something I'd ever pictured for myself (and I'm sure many fellow 2020 brides can relate), I am grateful to have Naticia by my side. We can't wait to work with her on our 2021 vow renewal and reception! I can't say enough good things about Naticia (could this review get any longer?!) and want to shout from the rooftops about how amazing working with Naticia is. I would absolutely, one hundred times over, recommend her to any couple looking to hire a wedding planner.

If you are even remotely considering hiring a wedding planner, one hundred percent hire Naticia! I can say confidently that she saved our lives while wedding planning! My (now) husband and I had high hopes to get married at the venue of our dreams on May 30, 2020, but, of course, 2020 had other plans. When the pandemic hit, we postponed our wedding multiple times, and, ultimately, we decided fairly last minute to have an outdoor, micro wedding at my parents’ house. I never thought to hire a wedding planner or coordinator, but our biggest priority became not having my parents worry, or feel like they were hosting. We wanted them to enjoy their daughter’s wedding as much as everyone else. That’s where Naticia came into play! We had less than 8 weeks to plan our backyard wedding. We wanted it to be simple, but elegant, safe, but fun, small, but have everything a large wedding would have, just on a smaller scale. And we didn’t have a lot of time to do it. After our initial Zoom meeting with Naticia, I called everyone I knew and told them how I felt one thousand percent better and more relaxed after speaking with her. She had ideas, vendor options already lined up, next-step plans all ready to go, and I hung up the call knowing we were in the best hands. She helped with all of our planning, coordinated with all of our vendors the week of our wedding, and made sure we did not worry about a THING. On the day of the wedding, Naticia, and her sister, spent all day setting up our décor, checking in on everyone about what we needed, double checked how everything looked, and she did not stop until it looked flawless. We, as the bride and groom, my parents, my husband’s parents, and our entire bridal party never had to lift a finger. She stayed well past the end of the wedding to make sure everything was cleaned up, guests left safely, and everyone involved was good to go. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and it would have looked MUCH different (in a very bad way), if Naticia was not involved. Most newly wed couples spend the next day with friends and family talking about how amazing the wedding was. We certainly did this, but the majority of the day after was spent discussing how phenomenal our wedding planner and day-of coordinator was. We happened to need help to plan for a Covid-time wedding, but I am now a FIRM believer in a wedding planner for any type of wedding, at any venue, in any year. I cannot recommend Naticia enough!

You guys are so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words! You were a joy to work with and I wish you all the love in the world! ♥️
I initially didn't think I needed a wedding planner even though one of my friends who married 3 yrs ago highly encouraged one. I am an organized person and felt I could handle everything on my own, plus the venue had a coordinator so what did I need a wedding planner for? Then the Coronavirus Pandemic hit, and we were unsure if our wedding was going to happen as planned, and the stress level surpassed what I could handle. I started to research for wedding planners for last minute 2-3 month coordination. I found Naticia at the Calla Lily Event Planning. Just upon the initial phone call to discuss what sort of services she had to offer, I already felt a sense of relief and knew I needed her for my event. I am so glad I did, as our plans changed last minute from a large reception to a small micro reception with about 28 people. Naticia helped to coordinate with all the vendors and recreate the contracts for this year as well as postponing our large reception for next year 2021! I am so happy I found Naticia and she helped in more ways than I ever thought of, like developing a timeline for the bridal party, assisting during rehearsal, and helping with all the little details at the reception. We used her for our micro reception this year, and I definitely am so happy I will have her there for the celebration next year! I am now a believer in hiring a wedding planner your wedding, even if you feel you are an organized person. Naticia felt like an extension of me or a family friend, who organized and made sure everything was how I would like it, and being in places that I couldn't be. I have already recommended her to other friends and anyone else that I know of getting married within the next year!
Response from the Vendor on 08/31/2020
I am so glad I got to work with you both for your wedding this year and will get to work with you guys again next year too! That's even better! You guys are an amazing couple and I am so grateful that you allowed me to be a part of this journey...
with you! <3
Naticia was wonderful from day 1; kind, warm, interested in my fiance and I and our story (not purely 'all business' but actually invested in getting to know us a little). As the wedding got closer, she was so helpful in thinking through details that despite all our spreadsheets and planning, we'd either neglected to consider or had pushed to the backburner in favor of working on other things. Naticia ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. She was very communicative, easy to reach, quick to respond, and always friendly. When the wedding weekend arrived Naticia was ready to rock and roll, having created a schedule and timeline for each of the vendors, a unique timeline just for our bridal party, and another for Sam and I. She helped facilitate a seamless weekend, transitioning from rehearsal, to the day of, through photos, to the ceremony, through the reception - she was the director of the day truly. Whenever my fiance or I would panic over having forgotten this item or misplaced that one, Naticia had it or would find it. We had some trepidation over the decoration of the reception space because we weren't able to access it in the timeframe we had planned on, so we had to rely heavily on Naticia to coordinate where everything went to bring our 'vision' to life without us being there and she knocked it out of the park. What I think differentiates Naticia is her warmth. Lots of people are organized and can take point on bringing and event to life, but not many can do it with kindness and care at the forefront. I would emphatically recommend Calla Lilly Event Planning to anyone who has a special day planned that they'd like a little extra TLC on, someone to ensure it goes off without a hitch.

Natalie, this is so sweet! This truly means so much to me! Que the tears. <3 Working with you and Samantha was such a pleasure and I am so happy for you both and wish you both all the best! <3 <3 <3
I have to start this review with I was nervous about hiring a day of coordinator. I had been planning my wedding with the help of family and friends for about a year and then I realized I needed somebody on site the day of that wasn’t there to be part of the wedding. I panicked. I called about 8 different vendors, spoke to numerous people and then I met Naticia. She actually asked me how Adam (my now husband) proposed. She was complimentary of the work I had done to that point. She reassured me that she knew the little details to ask and look for that I would never know. She literally gave me her cell phone number to call or text anytime I had a thought, question or concern. Truly my wedding wouldn’t have been so smooth and enjoyable if it wasn’t for Naticia. I cannot recommend her higher than this. My family is forever grateful for her support and professionalism. She is honestly the best. If I had larger parties (and lived in PA) I’m telling you, I would be booking her every single chance I got. I know that this is a stressful time for brides - she takes that away. Book her.

Caroline, this really touched me! ♥️ Your words truly mean so much to me! You had such a beautiful style and design planned for your wedding and were the most organized Bride that I’ve ever worked with. It was such an honor that you trusted me ...
to help set all your plans into action! Your wedding was beautiful and I absolutely loved working with you and Adam! Thank you both so much for letting me be a part of your wedding! ♥️
From the Bride: Naticia is the big sister/life coach/best friend/cheerleader/girl boss you didn't know you needed throughout the wedding planning process--and, of course, on the big day! Naticia is incredibly caring, organized, and calm. I truly and honestly do not know how I would have made it to and through our wedding day without Naticia! She was always an email or text away, checked in throughout the months of planning, listened to the friend and family drama that ensued, and always reminded me of what mattered most: marrying the man of my dreams! If you've ever watched Father of the Bride and thought, "I need a Franck!", then Naticia is your girl! Trust me...she will wipe the water droplets from your bouquet (and those of your bridesmaids!) on her jacket just so you will look beautiful on your walk down the aisle! And she'll make sure you actually eat on your wedding day! (I could go on and on!) She is simply the BEST!
Quote from the Groom: "Naticia was great! Top notch! All the things!"

Lauren & Bryan, you guys are seriously so sweet! I loved working with you both throughout the process and am so glad I got to work with you both! I love that you commented on the bouquets getting wiped off on my jacket! That made me laugh but y...
ep, it is part of the job. ;) You guys are really awesome people! Thank you so much for your kind words! They really mean so much to me! All the best things in the world to you both! <3 - Naticia
I don’t even know where to begin when I think of how absolutely wonderful it was to work with Naticia for my November 2019 wedding! About 60 days out from our wedding, the chaos and stress was really starting to hit me... at the exact same moment as work for me and my now husband was picking up of course. I knew I needed to find a way to manage all of the wedding stress so I reached out to my amazing photographer, Renée Nicolo, for recommendations on a day of coordinator. After reviewing Renée’s recommendations, I was so excited to talk to Naticia. From the minute we started talking, I knew she understood me and she was the one to help me get my vision for our wedding done.
Every step of the way, Naticia was there for me. As vendors were making last minute changes and dropping the ball, Naticia was just one call, text or email away. I was always amazed and appreciate of how quickly and thoroughly Naticia resolved things for me. I truly felt like she was a partner to me in the final crazy stages of planning our wedding.
I first met Naticia in person the day before my wedding because my schedule just didn’t allow for any in person meet ups before. It was so funny to my family that we had never met in person before because we were interacting like we had been friends for years. She understood my vision and executed perfectly.
I don’t know how I would have gotten through the last 60 days of wedding planning without Naticia. She was there to get things done when needed or to just let me vent when I needed that too. I couldn’t recommend Naticia more to anyone looking for support with wedding planning or day of coordination. It’s hard to understand being at the beginning of wedding planning, but trust me, her services are worth every penny!!!

Danielle this is seriously the sweetest review I have ever received! I can't thank you enough for your kind words! They really mean the world to me! So much love to you and Brian! <3 - Naticia
Naticia did such a wonderful job for Maria and me for our vow renewal. We had a short timeframe and we needed her help every step of the way. She was so kind and patient with us and did such a great job helping coordinate everything for us and making us feel relaxed and at ease. Naticia understood completely, how important this day was for us and having our children involved. She helped to make our big day absolutely PERFECT! From beginning to end it was a dream come true. We love her and feel so blessed for her help - she's the best!

Jason, thank you so much for your kind words! I definitely teared up reading this! You and Maria are wonderful people and I am so lucky to have had an opportunity to work with you and your family on your Vow Renewal! I love you all too! ♥️
I have worked with Naticia a few times- always responsive to communication, supersweet and follows through. If I needed a wedding planner, I would definitely consider her!

Thank you so much Dina! It's always a pleasure working with you!
Naticia and her crew at the Calla lily Event Planning did an amazing job putting together our big day. It was a pleasure working with her. She is very professional and you can tell she has a deep passion for what she does. I have recommended her to every soon to be Mr. and Mrs. that I meet. They helped us every step of the way and really listened to our thoughts and visions. People still talk about our wedding to this day and how much they enjoyed it. We owe a big thanks to Naticia and the Calla Lily Event Planning.

Thank you so much for your kind words Jennifer! It was such an honor and a pleasure to be a part of your special day! ❤️
Naticia did an awesome job planning our wedding, even when our schedules didn't make it easy! She was always available, and was great at listening to what was important to us, keeping on top of what needed to get done, and providing gentle reality checks when we needed advice from someone with experience. On top of all of that, she and her sister did our table decorations and the arbor for our ceremony, which both ended up looking out-of-this-world great! We were so happy with our wedding day, and are so grateful to Naticia for her help.
