Vicky’s Visionary Events

Here's the long and short of it: Vicky is absolutely amazing at what she does, you should definitely hire her and her partner-in-event-planning Jack, and you will not be disappointed. Now, if you want details, here they are. I found Vicky the way all millennials find things: Instagram. I messaged her, got her pricing, spoke to her briefly and emphasized I wouldn't need much because, as a former event planner (non-profits and gala fundraisers, which are basically like weddings because emotions are high and people's "babies" are on display), I had most things handled and "really" only needed a day-of-coordinator. Vicky was like, "okay, cool, but I'll still be here for whatever you need, even if it's months before." Y'all. Vicky WAS there for me, even months before. She was on contracts, she was finding me makeup and hair artists, she was reaching out to them, tailors, HEADBANDS??? because my silly self wanted to be "cool" and "different" even though I'm just a basic girl following the trends. Tuxedoes because someone (my now-husband) forgot to get his. Went to my venue TWICE for walk-throughs and to talk to the venue coordinator to make sure my vision was achievable and she knew where everything was. Set up my meeting with my DJ, was ON my meeting with my DJ, got my list to the DJ. Met up with my DJ at the venue to make sure they knew where to set up and what to expect since it was not exactly an easily-accessible space. Picked up my decor, set up the decor, executed FLAWLESSLY somehow?? Comments from my bridal party, mostly paraphrased: "Vicky means business." "I would not mess with Vicky, she is on it." Friend, at her wedding a week later, when we were confused about something, "Wow, Vicky would have been on top of this." "Vicky is amazing." Husband, during our honeymoon, reminiscing on the wedding, "I'm so glad we went with Vicky." Finally, I think the mark of an excellent person, and an excellent person to have on your team, is when they admit they made a mistake or accept they don't know something. It rarely happened with Vicky, but when it did, she was the first to acknowledge it. No fanfare, no back-tracking. And then she put in the work to rectify. That's really what solidified my love/obsession with her. Because if someone who is so good at their job can acknowledge that maybe they don't know everything at this moment but they're going to find out? Swoon. So, what else can I say to convince you to hire Vicky for your next event? I'll do my best. She and Jack are a team AND a match made in heaven. They work in tandem, they understand each other without words, and somehow, they both are so proactive and DON'T step on each others toes. She thinks of everything--and again, as a former event planner, I truly thought I had thought of every single thing to do and had done it before hiring her, and she still managed to stump me and be like "Have you thought of X Y Z?" She is kind, helpful, thoughtful, methodical in her work, and when she needs to be, downright a force to be reckoned with. I could NOT have had my dream wedding with out her, and that is a fact. That is my ode to Vicky. Hire her so you can also wax poetic about her skills in a review.
