Michelle is an incredible wedding planner, and we cannot thank her enough for helping us have our dream wedding day (which absolutely would not have been possible without her!). My husband and I both have demanding jobs, so having Michelle ther...e to take the stress away for us was so appreciated. From the beginning stages of meeting with vendors, Michelle was invaluable – she provided recommendations regarding which vendors to use based on her extensive experience in the industry, provided us with carefully drafted question lists to ask to vendors, collected quotes for us to compare, and attended all vendor meetings with us during which she served as our advocate and helped us to negotiate. Michelle was just a phone call or email away when we had any issues, always responding promptly and going into problem solving mode and having any tough conversations for us.
We were already so impressed by Michelle leading up to the wedding, but fast forward to our wedding day, and Michelle again exceeded all expectations. Michelle prepared detailed schedules for the wedding party, coordinated all details with vendors, managed and set up all our decor, among other items, such that we didn’t have to worry about anything but showing up on the day of the wedding. The only part that we, as a couple, were stressed about was the weather. It was our dream to get married in the beautiful Italian gardens of Crane Estate, but mother nature gave us a run for our money – with severe thunderstorms predicted. Michelle never gave up hope, though, and she worked closely with the venue to track the weather. On our wedding day, showers began to start before our ceremony, but Michelle meticulously watched the radar and identified a short timeframe during which the rain would ease up. She quickly corralled all vendors and wedding guests to the Italian gardens, and, in the nick of time, before the severe thunderstorms rolled in, we were able to have the ceremony of our dreams outdoors. Without having Michelle there as our advocate, there is no way this would have been possible. We will forever be thankful for Michelle’s quick thinking, ability to lead teams under pressure, and her dedication to helping us execute the wedding that we had dreamed of. Our vendor team (all of which Michelle recommended) was also incredible, and despite the chaos of the day due to weather, they all executed their respective roles flawlessly. We truly cannot thank Michelle enough for all of her help.
Lastly, we think it’s important to mention that Michelle is not only a one-of-a-kind talented wedding planner, but she is also a really kind person and becomes a genuine friend throughout the process. Michelle is a wedding planner because she genuinely loves helping couples have the weddings of their dreams; her enthusiasm is contagious, and although my husband and I were really stressed at times about the whole process, Michelle eased our nerves and instead made us feel excited about the big day.
In all, we HIGHLY recommend hiring Michelle; it is a decision you will not regret!
