Renee was definitely one of our favorite wedding vendors. I was hesitant about hiring a wedding coordinator/planner because I thought "how hard can planning a wedding be?" But after my first conversation with Renee, I knew that this expense (and an affordable one at that) would be well worth it. After every phone call, I felt so much more at ease and reassured by Renee, knowing that we had ironed out every detail. At the end of each phone call, she always asked, "okay, what else are you worried about?" And she addressed every concern and talked through potential solutions with only her professional opinion and no personal judgement (which was much appreciated when you have many opinions coming in from both sides of the family). She helped us coordinate 2 weddings at 2 different venues in one day! She helped us navigate difficult/uncomfortable family situations while also being respectful of our family members, which was very appreciated. Just having another set of eyes to look over all of our contracts and contact vendors to make sure everyone knew the plan was a huge weight off of our shoulders. She also was my backbone by reinforcing our wishes to our vendors and made sure our day was exactly what we wanted. I knew that things were going to be taken care of because they were in Renee's hands. She also provided very timely communication and helped us stay in touch with our other vendors when we had a hard time getting responses from them. Her assistant was also fantastic in setting up all of the elements for our reception while we were gone at the church. Everything looked just how I imagined and it was limited stress for me and my bridesmaids/family members to not have to worry about the set up or tear down of the event. We had some things go not according to plan (my makeup, family going to the wrong church, etc.), but Renee was calm and able to still keep up with our schedule and modify as the day went so that we could stay on time. I'm going to miss having our phone check ins! I would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to anyone planning their wedding.

We cannot recommend Renee enough! From the moment we started working together, she brought a level of professionalism, organization, and calm that truly made our wedding day run seamlessly. The attention to detail and ability to anticipate and resolve any issues allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the day.
Renee was always available for last-minute questions and made sure every aspect of our schedule was perfectly executed. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to stay present and focus on what mattered most, while she and her team handled the logistics with grace and efficiency.
If you're looking for a coordinator who will go above and beyond, Renee is the one. We are so grateful for everything Renee did to make our day unforgettable!

Renee and her team are an absolute dream! She was there every step of the way through the wedding planning process. Her experience and knowledge made all the difference! Renee was able to recommend all the vendors we used and they were all amazing. She made sure we were completing tasks on time and was there whenever I needed guidance on making a decision. A week before our wedding, we realized our day would be record breaking heat. She coordinated all the changes to moving the wedding entirely inside. Which had a lot of components that needed tweaking. She handled so many emails and phone calls with vendors it helped so much with alleviating how busy we were leading to the wedding. The day of the wedding I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Her team made the whole day flow so smoothly and allowed us to just enjoy it. I will forever recommend Renee as a wedding planner! You simply can’t do better!

I found out about Renee through our engagement and wedding photographer Lisa Meyer. I was in the midst of working full-time, building a house (taking multiple phonecalls a day), and trying to plan a wedding. I literally had a headache. I reached out to Lisa and she told me Renee was the "OG" and can "make magic happen." So I reached out. After our initial consultation which I rambled on for 3 hours at, I felt at peace. The headache was gone. Renee not only was a wedding planner, she became family. My mom was sick, unable to help me, my dad passed weeks before the wedding, and she made everything magical. She followed up with me regularly, was always reachable, and assured me everything would go beautifully, and it did. I have now heard from 40+ ppl that our wedding was "the best wedding they have ever been to," "the most fun," "never laughed and cried so much" at a wedding. It was the most fantastic weekend of my life and without Renee, it probably would have been 1/2 that and the most stressful!

Renee was a pleasure to work with from day 1. She was extremely responsive, flexible, and available. We worked with many vendors to complete our day, and Renee was easily one of the top. I don't think we would have been able to execute our wedding without her help. If you are on the fence about a wedding planner, give her a call and see for yourself. I have no hesitations recommending her again!

I thought I was going to be able to handle planning my own wedding but close to the day of, I started to look for help. My venue gave me a couple wedding planners to contact. Weddings by Renee was one of them and the first for me to reach out to. She was perfect for us. She came in with all the tools to make our wedding the best it could have been. She came to our walkthrough and asked all the questions that I hadn't thought of like if it rained during cocktail hour (it did). She went over our contracts, called our vendors to take of last minute things and even finalized our timeline.
I'm so glad and grateful for Renee, she was by far 1 of the top 4 vendors I hired. If you are looking for a wedding planner who knows her stuff, is friendly, reliable, smart and easy to communicate with, Renee is who you want. I can not recommend her enough.

Renee is the best in the business! Her presence is calming, warm, and kind. We hired her for day of coordination but she began helping us with logistics as soon as we met! She created a timeline and to do list to make sure nothing was overlooked. On the day of, she ensured everything ran smoothly even when unexpected events arose. Renee and her team were working hard behind the scenes from the moment the day began until the last guests were loaded onto the shuttle. She made sure none of our belongings were left behind at the venue and that all of our sentimental decor made it home with the right owners. Her services were invaluable. If there were a rating higher than 5 stars, she would get it. Best money spent at my wedding, hands down.

We hired Renee a few months before our wedding, and we honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. She coordinated with the venue and the vendors ahead of time and ensured that every detail was in place, even meeting our last-minute requests. She worked not only with me but also with my parents and skillfully mediated when there was a difference of opinion about wedding details, helping us reach solutions that were realistic and satisfied all of us. She even corresponded with my bridesmaids and our officiant so that everyone was on the same page. We so appreciate her professionalism, attention to detail, and kindness. The wedding was just perfect. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and that is largely because of Renee. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My son and his bride used Renee last October and I selected her for my wedding this past June based on what I observed at their wedding. The value adds include: development of the wedding plan with continuous updates and a special one for the family/wedding party and helps keep you on track; provides vendor recommendations, practical cost-saving advice on the many details; always on time, if not early; a great liaison with the venue coordinator and officiant and overall steps in as needed. Renee is very hands on during the day-of and even follows through afterwards. Although there is no such thing as a stress-free wedding, Renee helps minimize it! I highly recommend using Weddings by Renee.

We could not have gotten through this experience without Renee and her team! She was fabulous in recommending vendors from the beginning. Even more importantly, Renee was able to support us when we had to make the difficult decision to push our wedding back due to COVID 19. She worked with all out vendors to support our initial contracts.
Our actual wedding day was much more beautiful than I could have even imagined. Renee and her team worked effortlessly to provide the elegance and class that we envisioned. Her team did an incredible job at keeping the timeline going without making either of us feel pressured. We were able to enjoy ourselves instead of worrying about what we need to do on our special day.

I wasn’t originally going to use a wedding planner for our wedding, but after meeting Renee, with Weddings by Renee at a Wedding Open House, we decided that for the price it would be worth it. Let me tell you, BEST DECISION EVER! There are so moving pieces to a wedding that I wouldn’t have thought about, and I’m glad we had Renee there every step of the way. She made our entire wedding planning process pleasant and seamless, and this was all during the thick of the COVID pandemic.
I don’t know how I would have pulled off such a beautiful wedding without all of Renee’s guidance and expertise. We utilized Renee before the wedding and also on the day of the wedding. I’ll be forever thankful for all of her hard work and support. As a bride it can be very overwhelming planning a wedding, especially during COVID. Renee was just an absolute sweetheart and so wonderful to work with. She was beyond professional, extremely knowledgeable, and so organized. Even my dad and mom, who were very skeptical of having a wedding planner at first, had their socks blown off by Weddings by Renee. It become very clear that a wedding planner was key, and my mom and dad were so happy that we had Renee. I think there’s a misconception that wedding planner means you have tons of money and only the rich & shameless use them. That is not the case, at all. If anything, a wedding planner is able to help you get the most bang for your buck! I had a budget that I needed to stay in, and with Renee’s help and wedding expertise she was able to help us stay within budget to have the wedding of our dreams.
Weddings by Renee offers extremely reasonable pricing, and I can guarantee you that you’ll be extremely happy if you decide to use Weddings by Renee. Our wedding was perfect, seamless, and absolutely beautiful. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without Weddings by Renee!

If you are even considering hiring a coordinator (which you should), do yourself a favor and call Renee. From the moment I sat down with Renee I knew our wedding was in good hands. She is extremely detail oriented and is in constant communication with her brides. Leading up to the wedding I felt as if I spoke with her every day just going over last minute details I would have never thought of.
Something I really wanted to say about Renee is how amazing she is in crisis mode. With NINE days until our wedding (during covid), we made the decision to postpone. Our venue didn't have the best reputation of handling covid weddings, so we were extremely nervous as to what our options would be. I called Renee absolutely hysterical and she took care of EVERYTHING. She made all the phone calls to our vendors, pulled many strings, made our options crystal clear and often checked in to see how I was doing.
After Renee provided us with any and all information we needed, we decided on a small, intimate ceremony and postponed our reception. Her girls (Katie and Kaitlyn I believe) still came out to make sure things ran smoothly and WOW. We could have not asked for a better day. Her team was kind, fun, easy going and still made sure things went according to plan.
As stressful as planning a last minute wedding was, Renee made it so easy on us. I am so beyond thankful to have had her during our wedding planning process, especially at the end. If I could give this team a million stars I would. I will be recommending them to anyone and everyone!

I scream Renee's praises from the rooftops. She is the teammate every Bride needs during this experience. She made wedding planning SO EASY. She learned, listened and helped pull off my vision for our wedding and she did it flawlessly. She managed all of our appointments, set up and attended every meeting. She was extremely organized and kept us on track. Renee had so many resources and knew where to guide us. She answered all of our millions of questions and became a friend through the process. My mom and I both had strong opinions about some things, and Renee was always in my corner. She is as sweet and kind as she can be and we could not have had as successful of an event as we did without her. HIGHLY recommended! Thank you Renee, you're amazing.

If I could give Renee 20 stars, I would. She made planning EASY. She organized and coordinated all of our meetings with vendors, kept everything on track, learned (and cared) about my vision, and flawlessly brought it to life. She was full of knowledge, resources and ideas. Hands-down, Renee is the person to use for a wedding in the St. Louis area. Renee always answered the (countless) phone calls, texts and emails and made sure no stone was left un-turned. Renee was AMAZING! Definitely, 100% recommended!

Renee was very caring and understanding of our situation. No matter what was taking place, she was always able to offer professional advice, organization, communication, collaboration, direction, efficiency, and accommodated all my needs. Renee was very cognizant of our budget throughout the planning process, which I very much appreciated. Since I did not have the time to do much of my own research, I depended upon Renee’s expertise. She provided an excellent recommendation for a florist as well as a hair and make-up artist. She arrived at each meeting prepared, with an agenda, and moved with a purpose. Being that time was always of the essence, I appreciated this. I was very grateful of her direct, but VERY kind and graceful approach.
On the day of the wedding, Renee was always in eyeshot and was busy communicating with all the vendors. She played a very strong role behind the scenes and frequently checked in on us to be sure we were ready for what was to come. I felt very at ease with Renee overseeing all events. My mind was at peace and my heart was full during all the wedding festivities. I am so pleased that our wedding day flowed seamlessly and that our guests had a great time! Thank you for all your time, effort, dedication, and expertise! :)

Renee is the best! She and I worked together for nearly 15 months to plan my New Year's Eve wedding. She was a godsend. If you are even considering a wedding planner, I would hire her immediately. She read every contract thoroughly, suggested and contacted vendors, and tried to keep us on budget. I could not have gotten married without her!! Personally, Renee is so sweet and supportive. I felt that I was in good hands the entire time. It really did relieve a lot of the wedding stress. I would highly recommend her!!!

I used Renee and her team for my August wedding at Kuhs Estate and Farm. She was amazing and one of the best decisions I made to help my day go smooth. She made me feel at ease with all the details and I knew from our first meeting that things would go just as I wanted them to. She helped me make some important decisions on things I needed help with and was able to take my vision and help create the wedding of my dreams. My husband and I could tell how much she truly cared about our day and it was so nice to know she was always there for us. I highly recommend Renee and her team for all of your wedding planning needs!

Making wedding plans with Renee's guidance and assistance made the process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. She was organized, professional and offered suggestions when needed, but always ensured that details were just as we wanted. Because of Renee, vendors included extra touches and made cost-saving adjustments we wouldn't have known to ask for. We were able to enjoy the rehearsal and wedding celebrations from start to finish with total confidence that all of our plans would come together beautifully and any unexpected situation would be handled graciously. We are left with happy memories of a joyful day and are grateful to Renee for all she did to make that possible.

Renee is the preferred wedding coordinator for the Kuhs Estate and Farm Venue and there is a reason why ! She is able to coordinate all the vendors to make this venue as magical as it appears in photos. Renee's claim to fame is definitely her day of magic - she makes sure the day runs without hiccups, tears, and truly tries to create the vision that you want. She may even be able to control the weather because we had perfect weather for our venue. Renee handled all of our plans through email and phone calls as we were an out of town couple. She does her research regarding vendors and is very good at recruiting the best people in your budget! Her ability to create the perfect team to help us create our vision was fantastic - the photographer, chef, bar service, and band all truly represented us as a couple. We unfortunately had some curveballs thrown our way the week of but Renee handled them without an issue, was a true pro, and even increased her day-of staff to make sure it could all be done!

Renee was very flexible and willing to work with whatever we wanted. She was always ready to present multiple options to us in terms of venues, cake companies, dj's and bands, etc... She kept an excellent spread sheet of our budget and always updated us with a timeline of events to prepare us for our big day! Renee and her team kept our wedding day relaxed and perfect. I can honestly say I was stress free all day due to Renee and her team! They kept everything running smoothly and on time. I highly recommend Weddings by Renee for all of your wedding planning needs!

Renee and her team were absolutely amazing to work with. I was hesitant to hire a day-of coordinator, but am so happy that we did. She started helping me about 6 months out and as I was planning from out-of-town was extremely flexible in meeting with me whenever I was back in town. She helped think of things that didn't even cross my mind and ensured the day of the wedding went off without a hitch and I that I didn't have to worry about anything!

I'm not your typical bride. I am probably a wedding planner's worst nightmare. From the very beginning, I was dead-set on doing much of my wedding planning myself, including making many of the essential elements of our day, doing my own cake and flowers, design and decor. I was the recipe for the perfect wedding storm, and instead of giving up on handling things on my own leading up to our wedding day, I took on more. I added more details. I stacked the day with lots of intricate moving pieces, more features, more stuff, more floral, more signage. If I told you how much I added in the last few weeks leading up, you would think I was crazy and trying to sabotage my own wedding. Why did I add more instead of subtracting? Didn't I risk making myself miserable and stressed on my wedding day? The honest answer is 'NO'.
Renee and her staff were in charge of my day, and I knew that no matter the level of intricacy, instructions or details, everything would be perfect. I knew that Renee and her team are seasoned professionals and that I was in incredibly capable hands.
I know that most brides are probably easier than me, but I know that if by some chance they are not, Renee will handle everything with the greatest of ease, style and grace.
Thank you Renee for EVERYTHING!!!

Renee and Kaytlyn were our wedding planners for our wedding on 10-1-16 at Kuhs Estate and Farm. We used them for the day of, but Renee helped me even before the day of with vendors and plans, etc. I never had to worry once I talked things through with Renee. On the day of I knew that things were taken care of and I didn't have to worry about any last minute details. Kaytlyn helped the bridal party on the day of, she was absolutely amazing. So positive and accommodating. At the end of the night she helped us gather everything and had it all organized. Renee and Kaytlyn took care of all the gifts and packing things in cars. They were a great team and they made our wedding worry free!! I highly recommend them for your wedding planning needs!

Renee and her staff did an amazing job!! I did not originally plan on hiring a day of coordinator but now I would say that is the #1 vendor you need. It was so nice to actually enjoy the day. Renee made sure everything was taken care of exactly how we wanted it and made sure everyone was doing what they needed to be doing. I did not have to stress, waste time coordinating vendors, setup, make sure wedding party was in check, etc. You spend so much time and money planning the big day that is is important to have someone on your side to make sure the execution goes as planned. I would highly recommend Renee!!

Renee is a Wedding Connoisseur and a "breath of fresh air!" We had a fairly large wedding and it was an absolute dream! She really loves being a wedding planner, which is revealed through her enthusiasm, caring nature, organization,and unique ideas! Renee goes above and beyond, helping a bride truly capture her vision with every step of the experience. Any bride would be lucky to have her as a wedding planner. Thanks Renee for making the wedding more amazing than my husband and I could've ever imagined!!

Renee came with the package from our venue and I am so glad we decided to book her additionally for the day of the wedding. I couldnt have done it without her. She calmed me done and reassured me that everything would be fine, when I had one of my CRISIS moments. She made sure everything turned out the way we wanted it, that we were on time and on track.

If I could give 100 stars I would! Renee at Weddings By Renee is everything you could want in an event planner of any sort. She is easy to talk to, a great listener, knows how to make decisions, cares about how you spend your money, and super organized. Not only did Renee help plan our destination wedding, but she also helped plan our reception back home. It was a lot of work and Renee made everything so easy and painless. Great job, Renee!!!! I am thrilled we were able to use her services and I HIGHLY recommend Weddings By Renee for any portion of your event planning.

We hired Renee for day of coordination and our day was perfect because of her hard work. From the beginning Renee was willing to meet several times in person to review my vision, give insight, attend vendor meetings, and keep me going. Her hard work was so much appreciated. The day ran so smoothly and I was not worried one bit because I knew Renee knew my vision, was well planned, and would handle any thing and every thing! She was so friendly and great to work with.

I don't know what we would've done without Renee and her assistant. We truly though a wedding planner was just for people who knew how to let money slip through their hands... Absolutely worth every single penny and wasn't even that expensive with the basic package. We had not a single worry on our wedding day... all thanks to Renee and her assistant. She always knew what was going on, about to happen and if it wasn't happening, she made it happen. She is easily one of the NICEST people you will ever meet in your life, and most helpful. We are so glad we decided to have her services. You need her for your wedding if you want a truly worry-free day.

I chose to work with Renee for my wedding back in 2012. Other than my groom, I'd say she was the best decision I made. She was always there for me with ideas, choices, suggestions, or even just to bring me back down to earth.
Renee offered a variety of service options, which was great for me! I had already done a lot of venue hunting on my own, so I chose her middle service option. I KNOW I got more than what I paid for. Not only in Renee's time, but in the money that she was able to save me with other vendors. Remember ladies - you will not be return customer to these people, Renee will be. They will give her a fair price, they will allow her to negotiate, and trust me, the will not mess with Renee. This is an advantage that you do not have on your own.
Last, but certainly not least, my husband and I are not originally from St. Louis. With this said, my mother and/or his mother was not around much of the time to help us with decisions, budget, etc. Renee literally filled the role of my mother when she was not able to be there and I cannot thank her enough for that.

I felt fairly confident in my organization skills when it came to wedding planning, but my mother and I both wanted somewhere there to really tie everything together. Renee certainly made everything absolutely perfect!! Without a doubt she was an absolute MUST HAVE for our wedding. During our first meeting, she made me feel so very comfortable and was there to fill in the blanks! She made the reception location look absolutely beautiful. I had comments from friends that have been to other receptions at Windows On Washington and they told me they have never seen everything come together so well. She did such an amazing job at the wedding, making sure everything went off without a hitch. SHE WAS EXCACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED!!!!

Renee was awesome to work with! We worked together on my recent October wedding and it was beautiful! She came in about 6 months before the wedding and she helped us stay on budget, get contracts completed, and coordinated the whole day of the wedding. If she hadn't come in at the time she did, I don't know how we would have gotten through our wedding! She has such a happy personality but don't let that fool you because when it comes to business she is a bull dog!! Thank you Renee for making my day so special!! :)

Not only was Renee the best wedding planner I could imagine for my daughter's wedding, but she is now a valued friend. Renee took our vision to a level I couldn't have imagined. When I walked into the reception, I could not believe my eyes. Everything was extraordinary and my daughter was thrilled. With her organization skills and attention to detail, Renee took away so much of our stress. She kept us on schedule and on budget every step of the way. All the vendors she brought to us were so professional. And, the reception was a wonderful party with family and friends. If you're looking for a wedding planner, you must call Renee. She's the best.

After struggling to try to plan my wedding myself, I decided to look for a wedding planner to help take the stress off my mom and I. After interviewing several wedding planners, I met with Renee and knew she was exactly what I was looking for. She put me at ease immediately and helped organized what we had done. Then she took charge and helped us find just the right venue and vendors. My dad so appreciated her attention to our budget. And I loved that she made sure I had everything that was important to me. It was like planning my wedding with my best friend. She made it so much fun for me and my mom. The wedding was perfect. Everyone said they had never seen anything like it. And that was all because of Renee. I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.

We hired Renee immediately after getting engaged, and she helped us plan our entire wedding and was there for everything. It was a relief to have her take care of everything, and she was a big help for my mom who lived out of town. My only complain was that she didn't always give me a heads up if she was going to be out of contact for a little while.

Renee was a lifesaver! We hired her after we had booked several of the most important vendors (ceremony and reception venues, dj, videographer, and photographer), but she was immensely helpful in making decisions about other smaller (but also important) issues and keeping us on budget all the way. She helped us determine when we were getting good deals from vendors and when the offers were unreasonable. Because of her connections, she was able to point us to vendors that would give us discounts or freebies because of her referral and she was an expert negotiator. She probably saved us more money than we paid her!
Her super detailed timeline was probably the biggest help. She organized the many vendors and all of the wedding party members and made sure that everyone showed up at the right places at the right times and did want we needed them to do. That timeline and her orchestration saved us so much stress and helped the entire day to go smoothly. Because of Renee, my family and I didn't have to worry about a thing the entire day.
And did I mention she was the easiest person in the world to work with? By the end of the planning process, my mom and I felt like we were calling a friend. I highly recommend that all brides hire a wedding planner for at least the few weeks leading up the wedding - it is worth every penny! And Renee would be an awesome choice.
