We used Vernetta as our day of coordinator and florist for our wedding on June 9th. I researched many wedding planners, coordinators, & florists before hand. Everyone I talked with had the most amazing things to say about Vernetta & after meeti...

ng her I knew I had to have her be a part of our day! Vernetta is wonderful to work with and so knowledgeable about everything weddings! Vernetta's expertise brought so many tips & tricks in prepping our day & helping things run so much smoother. As a bride it can be hard to trust others - even professionals - to bring your vision to life - but I can tell you other brides that you can trust Vernetta & you need her! I gave Vernetta a lot of info, details, ideas, etc as I was truly in love with the wedding planning process but needed help. I especially needed her help with set up the day of as we had a very large wedding with 31 tables plus head table. Vernetta was kind enough to come look through all of my decor/inventory and provided suggestions on quantity & placement. Vernetta held on to every detail along the way & was on top of everything. Plus it was so fun to have another person who has so much excitement for your big day! She truly loves her couples & goes above & beyond for them. We are so thankful for Vernetta & her team for all their hard work on our day - from the set up, to the extra errands, connecting and confirming with all of our vendors, the most beautiful flowers & everything in between!! Muchas gracias Vernetta!

I was skeptical about the need for a wedding planner. I'm very a hands-on, off-beat, creative, why pay for it if you can do it yourself type of person. We went ahead and booked Vernetta's small package, basically just for the week of with a cou...

ple of meetings before hand, and I lost touch over the Christmas holidays. I was still a little skeptical leading up to the wedding week. But after the wedding I kept hearing how grateful my mom was that Vernetta was there on the day of. She kept things going. She got the wedding started on time. She made sure that me, and my family, and my wedding party were taken care of. My mom got to spend the day with family and even though I was still checking up on things during the reception (because that's how I am), she made sure everything was taken care of and didn't let me spend too much time worrying about logistics. Plus Vernetta did something I didn't think possible. She found a fantastic cake decorator who met my needs and picky standards. I'm a cake decorator myself, and was afraid I'd have to settle for less-than-perfect, but Vernetta introduced us to a company I wasn't aware of who made the most delicious of cakes! Vernetta definitely pulled through to help make the wedding a successful event.

I'm not sure where to begin except by saying that Vernetta was unbelievable! My husband and I had already planned most of the details of the wedding by the time we contacted her. We just wanted someone to take all of those details and make them...

happen without us having to worry about who was delivering what, where and when. We booked Wedding Planner Omaha's week-of package. After an initial phone call where I rambled for what seemed like forever about all the details, the vendors, the plans, Vernetta just listened and reassured me that everything would get done. I should admit I was skeptical that anyone could remember and keep on top of all the things I had just dumped in her lap. By the time we met the week before the wedding, she had confirmed every vendor and was on top of every last detail. She even thought of things we hadn't. The week of the wedding could have been filled with craziness (and I'm sure it was for Vernetta!) but it certainly wasn't for me. She took care of absolutely everything, meeting the caterer, rentals company, location manager, etc. without showing any amount of stress or panic. Even when our catering company's employees flaked out the day before the wedding and left that hall without setting up all the tables, Vernetta stayed cool. She and her team finished decorating the tables themselves the next day. The ceremony was perfect and the reception was an absolute success. I think the WPO team were the last people out the door that night. And Vernetta was back at it the next day helping us finish all the clean up. I cannot recommend this company enough. It was hands-down the best money we spent on our wedding.
