Callie was nothing short of a life saver! After firing my first wedding planner (from a completely different company) four months before my wedding, Callie truly came through....not only did she help "tie" up loose ends but when it came time to book certain vendors, she provided me with a range of options, rather than just sending me to the most notorious/expensive vendor in town. I explained to her off the bat that I did not want a "cookie cutter" type wedding, and that I am very practical when it comes to money, but definitely willing to splurge on certain things. So rather than asking me what my overall budget was for the wedding, she was so good about discussing my ballpark budget for EACH particular item throughout the planning process. After my experience with my previous wedding planner, it was such a breath of fresh air to hear from Callie MULTIPLE times throughout the week! She never left me hanging, was quick and thorough when it came to responding to my questions/concerns, and if nothing was urgent that particular week, she would just check in on me to see how I was doing! That's probably what I loved most about Callie....she made me feel like a person, not just another number. When I initially had my consultation with her over the phone, two things stuck out to me: #1. She spent OVER an hour with me on the phone just to ensure we would be a good fit! (but not to take the place of a more personal face-to-face meeting--we had that too) and #2. She mentioned that she does not commit to a crazy number of weddings per year for the sake of filling up her calendar-- she only commits to what she can handle, so that she can provide the best quality services, time and attention to each bride. Ok fast forward to wedding weekend-- she was a dream. Even though I was super behind on finishing last minute touches (DIY projects for a personal touch), Callie never showed a single bit of stress or made me feel pressed for time- she did just the opposite. She helped me feel calm, confident, and well....sane. In fact, as our wedding weekend approached, she could see how badly it was stressing me out and she offered to finish everything at her house the night before our wedding. While I'm on the topic of stress........just have to keep it real and throw this part in there for anyone who suffers from debilitating anxiety....I can only imagine how stressful it is for wedding planners to put up with brides on their wedding day in general-- then there's me 😂 Unfortunately all the stress from the past 12 months finally caught up to me on our wedding day, and while all of us girls were in the hotel room getting ready, I felt a panic attack coming on. Light headed, heart racing, tight chest, trembling hands. Cue Callie....She immediately fetched me my medication to help calm my nerves, then called down to room service and ordered me the most beautiful cheeseburger you've ever seen! Hahaha....she somehow knew exactly what I needed, and continued to lend that same support throughout the whole day. It didn't stop there though, even after all the festivities were over with, and the chaos settled down, she was a huge support, and helped us navigate some grievances we had with our caterer. We couldn't recommend Callie enough!
