The Wedding Factor

s so streamlined and made dress shopping feel like an event. You stand on a pedestal while trying on dresses and your saleswoman takes the time to perfectly clip the dress to your body making sure there aren't weird bunches or other quirks. There's a curtain which separates you from your guests, and with each dress you try on the curtain is swooped aside to show the option to whomever is accompanying you. These little factors made a huge difference, but the key was the two associates I worked with - Lucy and Michele. Both were absolute delights, upbeat and genuinely excited about helping me find the perfect dress. But they also went above and beyond to make sure I found EXACTLY what I was looking for. It was clear that they closely read my profile information ahead of time and already had a few great picks in mind. But every time I tried on a dress they pinpointed exactly what I did and didn't like and altered the selections based on that. It didn't take long for me to find the one, and even though I was pretty certain, Lucy and Michele were totally fine with me trying on several more dresses just in case. Once I was 100% set on my dress, Lucy and Michele put the icing on the cake by identifying the perfect veil to match. I ended the shopping trip with the knowledge that I found my perfect dress and a champagne toast for me, my mom, and my brother. This was the perfect experience, and if a close friend or family member was getting married I would steer them right to the Wedding Factor.

asked to email my budget and a few pictures to help ease the selection. Iris pulled a total of 6 dresses and dress number 3 was the one I took home! Iris was nothing but professional and made sure (behind the curtain) that I was comfortable with each dress price before trying them on. Her words “I would hate for you to fall in love with a dress you can’t afford.” With her help, I did fall in love with the perfect dress, for me! I am so obsessed with my dress that I cannot stop staring at the photos! Not only was Iris exceptional, the entire staff was amazing. They made me feel as if I were walking into my girl friends house to try on dresses!

epared for Covid. The store was exceptionally clean, we all were temperature checked, filled a waiver and washed hands before heading to the fitting room. Iris had hand selected dresses based on what my sister had sent her and made the decision extremely difficult, but in the end we left with the perfect dress! The entire team working that day were friendly and professional! Highly recommend.

but of a stretch. In the process of finding my dress, she was the only one able to put me in multiple dresses that I loved! To top it all off, the space was beautiful! I would absolutely recommend Wedding Factor.

went out of her way to help out as well. They made such an important day truly amazing. Thanks so much!!

is The Wedding Factor. I did extensive research on area wedding planners before putting them at the top of my list, so I knew to expect a very high level of quality service and a serious eye for elegant and high-end, but still cutting-edge, wedding design. I also knew to expect someone who was incredibly organized and in control, and who could stand as my physical representative in the planning process (I was several states away in school for the majority of the time, so I needed someone who would be able to accommodate my schedule and to work with me through phone and email to decipher my wishes). However, there were two additional things provided by The Wedding Factor that I did not anticipate, and that caused my wedding day to truly exceed my expectations. First, they have THE BEST NETWORK OF VENDORS in the Philadelphia area (part of how they do this is by casting a net far outside of Philadelphia--many of the vendors we ended up choosing came down from NYC!). I was blown away by each person Kathy introduced us to, not only in terms of their quality of work, but significantly, in terms of the PRICE we were quoted for the services. If we had not worked with The Wedding Factor, there is no question we wouldn't have met half of the vendors we used, and even if we had, we certainly wouldn't have been able to negotiate such a great price point!! Therefore, if you, like me, are a bride who wants a lot more from her wedding than it seems her budget can afford, The Wedding Factor is a MUST for achieving your vision without busting your piggy bank. The second awesome aspect of working with The Wedding Factor that I didn't anticipate, was the extent to which I and my family felt truly cared for and loved by them. A wedding is such an important time in your life that you will never forget it, and working with people who ended up feeling like family was very special. It was an intimate level of customer service that I have never experienced before, but after the fact, I cannot imagine what my wedding would have been like without it. Every bride goes through points at which she is too emotional to be rational, and I cannot tell you how much easier it is for a bridezilla to be soothed when her wedding planner truly understands and truly cares. Any problem I had, no matter how ridiculous, from the first day of planning to the wedding day, was dealt with immediately and sensitively. I appreciate that that is a luxury that most brides do not get to experience. Obviously, I cannot say enough about how satisfied I was with The Wedding Factor on many different levels. But in the end, I think pictures can say far more than I could here. So please feel free to look at the pictures from my absolutely gorgeous wedding (http://www.flickr.com/photos/floundersconlon/sets/) as an example of what The Wedding Factor is capable of achieving. I also highly recommend visiting The Wedding Factor website and blog to see pictures of other weddings they have done to get a sense of how personalized each event is. Happy Planning!!

d have possibly had with a planner. Katy and her team went ABOVE AND BEYOND what we expected - from helping us find our wedding venue, rentals, limos to suggesting locations to purchase my dress to even helping us pick out our wedding favors and packaging for it - They were amazing. They helped to plan every single detail of our wedding down to the tiniest one and made the entire process as stress free as possible allowing us to have an enjoyable wedding planning experience and a wonderful stress free wedding day. I cannot recommend The Wedding Factor any more highly! If I were to grade them I would give them 11 out of 10 stars and an A+++++ recommendation. Katy has impeccable taste and a network of great, reliable and trustworthy vendors. She is truly the best full service wedding planner in Philadelphia and it's surrounding areas hands down.
