Weddings By Renee

that is all props to Renee and her team. We had weather changes and Renee did so well at keeping everything together and making sure our vision came to life. Everyone said I was the most calm bride they had ever seen and thats because I knew I was in the best hands. She was very communicative and helped me stay on track with planning. She had a great timeline and task lists for me that helped me stay very organized. She makes you feel like family and we can not recommend her enough!! 10/10 job!

stood in the corner. That is anything BUT Renee. Going with Renee was our wisest wedding investment. We signed with Renee to support our wedding 2 months prior, and then act as our day-of-coordinator. Renee is proactive, approachable, organized, communicative, & experienced. It’s cliche, but my only regret is that we didn’t hire Renee sooner!!  Renee is a great communicator. Some wedding planners told us we had X number of convos and anything extra was additional. That was not the case with Renee. I appreciated that. We had unlimited access to Renee. She encouraged us to include her on all emails and check in frequently. This helped us feel at ease. It validated that our wedding was important; she took it very seriously. She reached out the perfect amount - not too much, not too little. As the wedding got closer, we of course talked more frequently. Those phone calls were grounding! Renee always had pertinent updates and would give us reminders for upcoming tasks. This kept us on pace. Additionally, Renee was a great communicator with all of our vendors, and she kept us in the loop. Towards the end of wedding planning, I cannot tell you how it was SO worth it to have Renee to wrap up the last minute details. My husband and I were brain fried. If we did not have Renee, the end stages of wedding planning would have suffered. Renee kept us afloat AND helped us excel. Renee gently reminded us, “This is my job, I will do that.” When I tried to take on too much.  Renee has so much experience to share and contribute. For example, at the start of our time with Renee, she made the most detailed timeline that became our holy grail. For all those parts of the schedule I had questions about, Renee had an answer. While I had made something similar, it was nowhere near as detailed. Renee kept it updated as we progressed with wedding planning. This made our wedding day so seamless. For the rehearsal and wedding, Renee was so incredible. Everything was perfect. We had so many compliments because it was that smooth! IF an issue came up - I didn't know about it, because Renee handled it. My husband and I joked that Renee would go to war for us. But seriously, Renee had our back for us 110% of the way. We trusted her, and she did everything so well - regardless if it was expected or unexpected. I am a very naturally worry wart. But my wedding was a day I fully enjoyed - I didn't have to worry about what was next on the schedule. Being able to stay present during my wedding was a lifted weight! Renee and her wonderful assistant were so efficient with their time. They oversaw set up, tear down, making sure our families, friends, and bridal party were in the right place, we knew what to do and what was upcoming, AND that my husband and I were enjoying ourselves. They always stayed one step ahead. For example, when cleaning up, Renee took special care of the important family momentos and our gifts. She even made a box of late night snacks from our wedding that we didn’t get a chance to try during the reception.  To say our wedding day was magical because of Renee is an understatement. That does NOT do Renee justice! She is phenomenal. I cannot recommend her enough. No matter what part of the wedding planning process you're in, Renee is a must have vendor. 

n your side that was there to help with everything. Renne went above and beyond to make our wedding so special. I whole Heartly mean it when I say she was one of the best decisions we made with the wedding!

amlessly. 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!

bride, her assistance to my daughter was absolutely invaluable. We decided to use Renee for the Day of Service simply because a few months before the wedding ,we decided we needed someone. I’m so thankful we discovered Renee and thankfully she had availability. With Renee& her assistant, Kelsey, on the day of my daughter’s wedding ,I was able to enjoy the day & have everything go smoothly & perfectly. I would suggest to any other new brides (MOBs)to consider contacting Renee and her team early on. Her many years of experience , contacts in St.Louis , will certainly make your ENTIRE wedding planning much easier. Veronica S.

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!

g planning and event went off beautifully and we could not have been happier. We could not have done it without her. Highly recommend! You need Renee!

haring her past experiences with the decisions we were currently making. I highly recommend hiring Renee to coordinate your big day!

r 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.

d 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!

e 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!

e entire process a delightful and joyful experience.

! From the time I booked her until my wedding day she checked in on me and my vendors to make sure we all were on the same page. Her guidance and support through out the whole process was excellent!

ngs 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.

eptional. Renee was able to guide us through the entire wedding planning process and routinely provided updated checklists. She did a great job of listening to and implementing our vision of the wedding as well as offered suggestions along the way. Renee's knowledge and relationship with all of the vendors was so beneficial. She made our daughter's wedding absolutely amazing and stress free. We highly recommend Renee!!!

provided so much guidance based on all of her experience in the wedding industry. Highly recommend!

ted 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.

ured 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!

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.

oshu) to help out with your big day!!

planning! I would 10/10 recommend having a wedding planner to alleviate stress on and leading up to the big day! And there is no one better to have than Renee! :)

upport 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. THANK YOU RENEE!

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!

team! Will definitely refer her to friends💗 Sharon H.

errals to great vendors in the area. Not only was Renee amazing throughout this all, the day of service provided by her and her staff was outstanding. I would 100% recommend Weddings by Renee!

g ran smoothly and on time. Her team was also amazing and made sure all our stuff got packed up and back to us which was amazing because our wedding day was so chaotic and I was sick.

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!

she is simply the best. Between the endless phone calls/texts and her love for what she does, Renee is extraordinary! She calmed me down when I needed it, listened to what I had envisioned, and made my wedding day the best day of my life with her expertise. You cannot go wrong when you hire someone who always goes above and beyond!

I’m unsure how the bride found you Renee so I may have answered the questions below incorrectly. The day was perfect in every way! THANK YOU!

ect!

ommendations along the way. She and her team made sure everything was taken care of on my wedding day. Because of them, we were able to enjoy the wedding and reception with no worries. We had a few things go wrong, but Renee and her team were there to handle it and find solutions.

e done to make our day go as smoothly as possible. She handled every hiccup I ran into and kept me from needing to worry about anything, even with the pouring rain. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner! She made plenty of appointments with me to go over the details of the day and I had no doubt in my mind that she knew exactly what I wanted and how to execute it. She is definitely someone you need on your team for your special day!

ganization are second to none and we could not have made these days perfect without you and your team. We have no more weddings in our immediate family but I would recommend you and your company “Weddings by Renee” to anyone who reads this. They would not be disappointed.

rying to plan the wedding. She allowed our family to focus on the day and not on the small details. The wedding was amazing, many thanks to Renee!

ff 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.

to details and puts her whole heart into making your event everything you want it to be. She is extremely patient and works until you are totally happy. Renee reviewed all our contracts and found ways to save money and was diligent with our budget. Renee and her team took care of everything the day of the wedding, catering to our every need and handling every little detail. We hit the wedding lottery when we found Renee. Thanks Renee. You and your team are wonderful!

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!

ion, 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! :)

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!!!

h 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!

eded, 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.

s 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!
