The Calla Lily Event Planning

ime 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!

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!

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.

tially, 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.

thout 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!

eel 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.

ur 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 ;)

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!

f 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!

and 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!

ded 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!

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!

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!

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!

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

he 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!

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

es care of so much on the actual wedding day that you will have no worries. Everything turned out beautifully!

eginning, 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!

nd 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.

ke 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!!

ll 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.

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!
