It was a pleasure working alongside Candice and her team! She has incredible knowledge of the vendor scene within Philadelphia, and we went with many of her recommendations – we ended up assembling an amazing team that had so much fun working together, were super professional, and made the vibes positive the whole wedding weekend. Candice was calm, collected, and organized during a big wedding with multiple events and personalities - and it was such a relief to have her there as the point person, tackling everything with ease. Our families keep coming back to us with more and more compliments to her and her team, and also revealing things she helped with that we never knew about! Which, again, deeply appreciate. My husband and I put a lot of thought and effort into planning, and Candice made us feel heard, understood, and supported through the year we worked together. Highly recommend The Styled Stem & DeCourtcey Events to other couples looking for an extra lift and a great experience!
Words can't express how grateful Raphael and I were to hire Styled Stem wedding coordinator services.. Cher was our assigned day of coordinator and Amanda was worked the day of our wedding. Cher made the wedding planning process so much better, she pulled all the pieces together with all the vendors. When I 1st met Cher I expressed how overwhelmed I felt with everything . As Cher began to do her day of coordinator magic all my stress and feelings of being overwhelmed quickly away. Hiring Styled Stem was the best decision ever! Cher, Amanda and Candice were all amazing and I highly recommend them for your special day!
Where do I begin? Candice and her team exemplifies excellence. My wedding day would not be what it was without her. She is the epitome of grace and patience. She helped me throughout the wedding process, making sure I was on time with task, while checking in with my mental health. My sour stress ridden face during our meetings did not phase her once lol She was very understanding of the stress I had. She kept me on top of things and stepped in where others did not. To me, Candice went above and beyond to make my wedding day special. She also coordinated the day and let’s just say her presence was necessary and welcomed. She helped behind the scenes and kept a level of professionalism I will always remember and commend. She is great at what she does and her assistant was also wonderful with checking in and helping out the day of the wedding. The power duo stopped at nothing to make my wedding spectacular. I reminded Candice that without her, the day would not be what it turned out to be. Candice is a mastermind, innovative, and an expert in her craft. I cannot say how much I recommend her expertise. If you want to make your day or the process of wedding planning flawless and less stressful, count on Candice for guidance and to get the job done. So I thank her once again for the role she played on my special day and wish her nothing but the best while she makes other weddings as amazing as mine!
Hiring Candice and the Styled Stem to be my wedding management team was the best decision I ever made in the wedding planning process. During our monthly meetings leading up to the big day, Candice was super organized, efficient, respectful, and extremely accessible/responsive. She made helpful suggestions for things I had not even considered and has so many useful resources that I can't imagine planning without. She communicated with all of my vendors and made everything run so smoothly. It is obvious that Candice and her team know the wedding industry inside and out, and are truly passionate about their work and the couples they work with. On the day of my wedding, Candice was exactly who I needed in the stressful, nerve-wracking moments. She kept me feeling at ease and was calm, professional and warm to not only me and my fiance but to our families and guests. Everyone absolutely loved her and her assistant Rae. Thank you to Candice & the Styled Stem team for dealing with my type A personality with grace and kindness. I could not have done this without you and we had the best day EVER!!
We are still glowing from the fabulous celebration Candice and her team planned with us for our wedding! From our first interaction, we could tell that Candice would be organized and help us stay focused through what can be an overwhelming process. She brought a fantastic suite of tools to aid in planning and design. Her thoughtful approach kept us on track and perfectly captured our style and vibe. Our guests were so impressed by how truly "us" our wedding was, all thanks to Candice's vision and follow through. We felt at ease knowing we had an amazing team supporting us both leading up to and during the wedding. Our wedding party was also impressed by how well Candice and team managed the day. I highly recommend working with The Styled Stem/DeCourtcey Events if you have a chance <3 What an exceptional team!
Candice and Cher did an amazing job on my wedding day. They were more than a wedding planner and wedding coordinator. They played every role possible to ensure that the day was smooth and running. I was amazed on how a such complicated day turn out so perfect with the help of their team. I was very verbal on my needs and desires on the day. They took everything in consideration and execute it. After the day was over they even had footage and pictures of the day which was amazing. I would highly recommend their services.
Candice and her team made our big day and the days prior absolutely seamless. Wedding planning is one of the most stressful and multi faceted things I've had to experience in my life. My wife and I were lost beyond belief, once we brought Candice on board everything changed. Candice and her team took the time to make sure all vendors and activities were booked appropriately. Candice provided us with checklist and timelines to make sure everything on our end were in order. I truly believe our wedding day would not of gone off without a hitch if it were not for Candice and her team. We were able to enjoy the night with our friends and family while trusting The Styled and Stem to handle everything else.
Thank you Candice and team for everything!
Working with Candice at The Styled Stem made our wedding day go so smoothly. We hired her for the day-of coordination services and it came with helpful planning tools, 3 planning calls, and 2 day-of coordinators, which ended up being perfect. Candice and her team are experts were incredible at guiding us through the day (transportation, photos, ceremony, and reception) and getting down to the details leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, The Styled Stem team adapted and made things go perfectly. We were able to just relax and enjoy our day, which was worth every penny. We cannot recommend The Styled Stem enough!
We are so happy that we had Cher and Rae from the Styled Stem by our side on our wedding day. The ladies lead with professionalism and did their best to ensure that all of our little details came to light. They were also super flexible with day of changes, and did an amazing job of keeping us on time throughout the day. They thought of details that Weren't even on my radar throughout the planning process. Whenever I needed a bottle of water or a bouquet held, there They were with a helping hand. Besides day of, they also made the planning process itself very easy. Cher helped me flesh out every idea I had planned so that I could actually execute it in a way that made sense. On top of all of these, the coordinators at Styled Stem are just nice people and nice to be around as well.
We cannot recommend The Styled Stem enough! Candice, the genius behind The Styled Stem, took on the monumental task of full-service wedding planning, design and day-of coordination for our wedding, and she surpassed all expectations.
Despite our late start in the planning process (6 months out), Candice connected us with the perfect vendors, demonstrating an exceptional understanding of our needs and preferences. As a very picky, A-type personality, I can be challenging to accommodate, especially for such a significant event. Yet, Candice handled everything with extraordinary grace, always making necessary corrections and liaising seamlessly between us and our vendors.
Candice's compassionate nature and unwavering professionalism shone through, even when the florists failed us on the day of the wedding. The bouquets were disappointing, but Candice and her team sprang into action, creating stunning new bouquets for me and all nine of my bridesmaids in record time while still keeping the day running smoothly. The results were absolutely gorgeous, and she even added extra touches that made everything perfect.
The Styled Stem’s services were nothing short of amazing, and we are immensely grateful for their dedication. From the beautiful unexpected floristry to the impeccable day-of coordination, Candice ensured that every detail was flawless. We wholeheartedly recommend The Styled Stem and its newer sister company, DeCourtcey Events to any couple looking to have a phenomenal, one-of-a-kind experience they can be proud of.
Choosing Candice (and the Styled Stem) to be our day-of coordinator was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. She is incredibly organized, respectful, and so kind and loving. She made everything so easy and streamlined. She gave us very helpful suggestions (about things we didn't even think about!) while being incredibly supportive of our vision. It was so clear to us that she loves her job, and loves the couples she works with - it absolutely radiated. We cannot recommend the Styled Stem enough.
Candice was an absolutely incredible wedding planner! I can't say enough great things about her!! She was so professional, organized, caring, and fun to work with! She made the wedding planning process so much less stressful and we couldn't have pulled off our gorgeous wedding without her! We booked her immediately and have absolutely no regrets about it! We loved her attention to detail and recommendations and her whole team were on top of everything. Thank you Candice! We LOVE you!!
I have had the pleasure of working with Candice Moore of The Styled Stem on multiple weddings. As a wedding and event florist it is wonderful to work with such a pleasant and professional planner. The Styled Stem’s unparalleled creativity, meticulous attention to detail, and seamless coordination make every event a masterpiece. Candice's warmth and professionalism not only enhance the experience for the clients but also create a harmonious and efficient working environment for all vendors involved. It's a pleasure to collaborate with a company that excels in transforming visions into breathtaking realities. I look forward to working on many more weddings and events with you in the future. Highly recommend The Styled Stem for an exceptional event planning experience! Melissa, 7Blooms
Working with Candice and the Styled Stem was the best investment that we could have made for our wedding day. We booked the Day of Coordinator package about a year and a half in advance. Throughout the entire timeline, Candice was attentive, professional, encouraging, and helpful.
In our monthly check ins, Candice provided exceptional guidance, gently calling attention to our blind spots and offering strategies for challenges that arose. In the weeks leading up to our wedding day, Candice’s strong management skills gave us the reassurance that we needed to focus on what was really important.
Candice invested considerable time and energy into making our dream wedding a reality, and managed the flow of the day with confidence and conviction, engaging with vendors proactively, and had a pulse on our emotions and desires from getting ready in the morning to the final hour on the dance floor.
We hope that you make the wise decision to partner with Candice and the Styled Stem – you won’t regret it!
The Styled Stem team was nothing short of amazing! I am so happy we chose them to help us plan our wedding. My husband and I opted out of having a wedding party but working with Candice made us feel like we didn’t skip a beat with the amount of support she and her team provided. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful wedding experience. If you want someone supportive, thoughtful and creative, I HIGHLY recommend this team!
I was a bride that planned my entire wedding by myself & did not originally plan to use a day of coordinator & was only going to use my hotel venue's coordinator. THANK GOD I BOOKED THE STYLED STEM! Candice & her team (shoutout to Amanda!) made my life so much easier & she was not only extremely helpful day of the wedding, but also leading up to the wedding! Candice made sure I was on track with everything & that all of my vendors were aligned for the day, she did multiple check ins and calls with me as well.
Brides do yourself a favor & book her! I swear you won't regret it! If anything I regret not booking her sooner! As a cost conscientious bride it was absolutely worth the investment! I can only sing praises about the styled stem and I am so grateful to have worked with them! Thank you again Candice & Amanda!
Working with Candice and the Styled Stem team was the BEST wedding planning decision I made. She is so warm, kind, very responsive (even to all my late night, worried emails) and an overall wonderful human. Her eye for design and style board were stunning and made my wedding beautiful. We did not live in PA and she helped us find vendors, and do last minute things that were extra challenging due to not living in state. I cannot imagine getting married without Candice- it just would not have happened without her. She smoothed any family drama without batting an eye and maintained a warm and friendly professional manner throughout. I cannot recommend Candice and her team enough- she will be a life long friend.
Working with Candice @ The Styled Stem was a dream come true!!! The last three months leading up to the wedding were a true whirlwind (two graduations, moving to Philadelphia, getting oriented with our new jobs) – without Candice, I don’t know how our perfect wedding would’ve all come together! She filled in all of the gaps, and took off the pressure so my family could just enjoy the day. During our wedding, she kept the momentum flowing and made sure we were all well attended to. As a nervous bride.. I felt so seen, heard, and understood! I’m forever grateful to her and her team!!! Hiring the team @ The Styled Stem was the best decision we made for our wedding. Truly!! Thank you, Candice.
Candice was PHENOMENAL for our wedding! We had a large wedding (200+ guests), lots of moving parts, and a ton of details that needed attention. Candice made set up and breakdown seem effortless, and was so attentive to me, my husband, and our families all day. She was always available for advice or calls, and our monthly meeting helped me feel so confident in how the day would play out. She expertly coordinated our vendor team, and kept everything running smoothly and on time the day of. Truly could not have done it with her, and I can’t recommend her enough!
Candice was a perfect find and helped me plan the most gorgeous day! I live in Texas but was getting married in the Philly area since that is where I grew up. I knew I needed a planner who would be my boots on the ground but didn’t want a big agency where I might get lost and The Styled Stem was exactly who I needed. After a ton of searching, Candice helped me find my venue even before we signed the contract because she knew we needed to move quickly on my short timeline. We zoomed through each subsequent vendor choice because of her knowledge and expertise. Several times along the way I became overwhelmed with so many details, and she virtually held my hand to make it to the finish line. Did I mention she had a baby during this time?! With personal challenges abound, she made time to answer all of my questions and was my true partner to create a magical day!
I knew from early on that I wanted a wedding planner/coordinator because I didn't even know where to start with planning and was getting overwhelmed just thinking about everything that needed to get done. I am so glad that I found Candice and started working with her a little over a year out from our wedding. From our first conversations, she put me at ease and provided us with a timeline that helped break down everything that needed to be done and when we should aim to have it done by. Finding vendors for a 2022 wedding was an experience to say the least, but Candice helped to reach out to vendors when I wasn't getting responses, advised us if vendor contracts should have certain things added in, and also tracked down information on vaccination status and proof of insurance that our venue required. I don't know how many emails and texts I sent to Candice, but I never had to wait more than a few hours for a response (even when I was sending emails at ridiculous hours of the morning and night and did not expect her to get back!)
I am so glad that I also hired her for design. I knew that I wanted a dark, candlelight romantic vibe, but I wasn't sure if that made sense with a brighter color palette for our summer wedding. Candice managed to select things from my pinterest board that made sense and put together a style board that finally helped me to visualize the wedding. I was still nervous on the day of the wedding because I had been so vague about what I wanted, but Candice and our florist created the most beautiful ceremony, cocktail and reception spaces. I actually cried during the room reveal because it was so perfect.
In addition to handling the planning and design, Candice was a true lifesaver when it came to coordination on the day of the wedding. There were a few issues that arose with vendors, as well as guests showing up after they had RSVPd "No" which messed up the table assignments. Candice handled it all very calmly and professionally. I actually don't know what I would have done without her. I am immensely grateful that she was there so that I could just enjoy the wedding of my dreams. If you are considering a planner, this is your sign to hire Candice and The Styled Stem!
Candice is an amazing event designer! My event was beyond anything I could have hoped for and my guests loved the creative decor and flowers.
Hiring the Styled Stem was the #1 best decision of all the wedding decisions we made! We hired them for full service wedding planning and design, and the attention we received was top-tier.
In the months before the wedding, the Styled Stem team provided the perfect balance of logistical and emotional support to allow me to go into my wedding day without any concerns. From day 1, the team listened to my vision and worked with me to make it happen, from finding the best-in-class vendors to floral design to logistical support.
My wedding was set in the backyard of my uncle's rural property in western New Jersey. There were many unique challenges associated with this venue choice: parking on a bumpy lawn, scarcity of indoor restrooms, a long driveway which made for tricky rental delivery. Candice and her team found us the valet who would make it happen, the more deluxe mobile restrooms any of our guests had seen, and on the day of my wedding, she solved delivery mishaps before I even heard about then.
And the visual design! Everything came out exactly as I wanted it to, and beyond. I was surprised on the day of my wedding with gorgeous wildflower floral arrangements in small glass vases. The day was a perfect blend of flowery laid-back visuals while still feeling elegant and allowing the natural environment to sing. My wedding bouquet, a Styled Stem design, was absolutely perfect, and Candice's completely independent design and creation.
One more thing: this team attended the most sentimental day of our lives and fit right in among our family and friends. They worked incredibly hard, but with such grace and good humor, they felt like family. I hope to keep in touch with them for years to come, as I feel grateful to have met such wonderful people as they are through this process.
Candice was amazing to work with to make our wedding day florals everything we wanted and beyond. We setup meetings throughout the planning process and even though it was virtual due to the pandemic, she was able to capture our entire vision. Candice created the perfect vision board for our ceremony, reception and bridal florals. The arch was amazing! Our ceremony backdrop was a golf green so the arch created a focal point and really made our ceremony feel complete. The reception was a mix of white flowers with curly willow branches and lots of candles, she made our reception feel romantic and timeless. The best part was when Candice walked into the bridal suite with our flowers, I wanted to cry seeing the gorgeous bouquets but I had just had my makeup done but they were that perfection. Candice is sweet, professional, available to answer all emails, and truly a master at her craft. She will make your day exceptional and beautiful with all of the floral details. I cannot thank her enough for everything!!
We are so happy that we chose Candice as our florist and planner. From our initial Zoom call to our wedding day, Candice helped us realize our vision - even when we didn't know what that was! While we had some vague ideas of what we wanted, we weren't the best at planning. Not only that, there were many DIY elements to our wedding, which made things feel overwhelming at times. Candice helped us each step of the way, providing guidance when needed but still having us set the tone for what we wanted. She was patient with us and worked within our budget, offering substitutions if certain items weren't feasible, and always making sure that we were all on the same page.
Candice and her team made everything come to life on the day of, and in spite of a very tight timeline, she made the time to deliver the bouquet and corsages/boutonnieres to us ahead of time, then pick up all of our extra DIY elements to set up at the venue. We were so thrilled with the final outcome - it was perfectly "us". A huge THANK YOU to Candice - we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a florist and planner!
I worked with Candice for my Oct 2021 wedding. The words "hire" and "worked with" don't do her justice because Candice absolutely crushed it in every single capacity. There were many hurdles thrown her way - a less than ideal turnaround time, bad weather, I do not live in PA (we got married in PA) - and candice handled it all flawlessly.
from the first time I spoke with Candice, I knew right away she has a perfect match. I felt comfortable with her and totally trusted her to give it to me straight, tell me things i definitely needed and also not push for anything unnecessary. She took my disorganized, confused incomplete vision and made it cohesive and then executed flawlessly. I would literally vote for her for president of the united states.
everything was gorgeous and the event was seamless. several weeks later my notoriously difficult grandmother (god love her) is still calling me to tell me how amazing Candice and her team were. I dont know how but Candice found a bunch of mini-Candices and enlisted them all to be her team, everyone was absolutely awesome.
Candice, without you, this wedding wouldn’t have even been a worse version — it straight up would have been a dumpster fire at best. you are truly phenomenal at what you do and i can’t thank you enough for everything. you are a true CURATOR OF VIBES.
we are so fortunate to be a couple who can say they genuinely enjoyed their wedding and nothing went wrong and we have zero regrets. & Candice is 100% the reason we can say that!
Candace was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Candace took the time to do a walk through with us of our venue, The Lucy.
We loved her floral suggestions since we had no clue what flowers we wanted on our tables. My husband and I received many compliments on the floral arrangements.
Our guests loved the color scheme that we chose. We were happy to tell them we left it up to our florist at Styled Stem. Thank you, Candace.
Candice is so wonderful and very professional. During covid we’ve had many ups and downs with our wedding planning process. Candice kept me calm and kept us on track with a tentative schedule of when we should execute certain tasks. She has excellent “bedside manner” and was very empathetic to all our feelings during the process. She’s extremely proactive, transparent, and organized. She’s VERY good at her job. She made my wedding day so calm and everything flowed in a timely manner. I felt no stress and I could just be present and enjoy everything because I knew I hired someone I could trust. My family and vendors also had many compliments to give. Thank you for an amazing day!
