We just got married this past weekend, October 17, and used Victoria Burrows/A Bride's Ally for the "Weekend of" services. I don't even know where to begin with telling you how incredible she is and how much I appreciate everything she did for ...us.
First off, she did so much more than just help that weekend: she emailed back and forth with us a ton, helped settle disputes, listened carefully and did exactly what was needed, contacted and kept in touch with all vendors, gave us heads-ups as to anything that we were missing or might want, worked hand-in-hand with the hotel planner, advised on tipping (and anything else we asked about), made a list of what to do/how to proceed when changing my last name, and so much more. The weekend of, she came to EVERYTHING from our rehearsal at 5pm Friday all the way through the end of the wedding after midnight Saturday night. She orchestrated all timing, passed out the tips, dealt with transportation, parents, babysitters for out-of-town guest's kids, weird relatives (not that we really had any), all requests, etc.
If you can think of it, she did it all in the most calm, reassuring, and professional manner. There is literally nothing this woman can't do, and she made our weekend the best. I can't believe I'm able to say this, but absolutely nothing went wrong at all, and I really think it was because of her!!!
I could go on for ever about how much I love Victoria and what a lifesaver she is, but I'll close by saying this: You spend so much time and money on putting a wedding together, and the last thing you want to do is have to stress and micro-manage on the day of. Having A Bride's Ally as your wedding planner will be your most important and best wedding planning decision!!
