Hiring Weddings Unique was the best decision I made in preparation to our big day. I met with Andrea and immediately felt a sisterhood connection. She listened intently and carefully to my thoughts and vision and stayed connected with me thro...ugh the entire wedding-planning process.
Towards the end, I was so exhausted by the quadrillion decisions that I seriously wondered why we didn’t elope or run to the courthouse for a quick marriage. Having a seasoned wedding planner will make this journey so much more enjoyable and smooth sailing. I seriously wonder how anyone got married without a planner… ever… without ending in rehab or in a mental institution.
Whenever I had disagreements with vendors, she graciously and diligently worked on my behalf to get the best result. Andrea is friendly, professional, reliable and extremely talented at her job. She can diffuse any situation from escalating (and trust me, weddings make people crazy) so this is a crucial skill.
Andrea has the knowledge, connections and experience regarding the wedding industry which makes her an invaluable asset you do not want to forgo.
On our wedding day, there was a possibility it would rain; hence we had to change the ceremony on the last second to the atrium instead of the grand lawn (at Bella Collina.) It wasn’t a big deal for me since it was so hot outside and I was like a zombie during the apocalypse on that day. However, when I walked down the isle and saw the decorations and the set-up in the atrium, my heart was filled with joy, happiness and gratefulness. It was breathtaking.
The day was amazing. I didn’t understand when people told me it would be the best day of my life, aside from giving birth, but now I know. I can tell you for certain that the day would not have been such a success without Andrea running every aspect and detail of it. She truly is amazing and retaining her services is money well spent.
On my wedding day, Andrea went above and beyond anything I expected: she carried my bag, provided me with a water bottle, fixed my veil, held onto my shoes and even packed up all my belongings at the end of the night. Next to my mother, Andrea was the shoulder I leaned on the most. She did it all with kindness, a smile and love in her heart because she is committed to giving every bride the best day ever.
If you’re pondering whether you should hire a wedding planner for something you can do yourself, as many women think, ponder no more. As a bride, your wedding day should be stress-free and enjoyable. There is no way I would’ve enjoyed the wedding if I had to go around chasing vendors, calling the cake lady or fixing flowers. Stress also shows on your face, shoulders and demeanor. Having Andrea in my corner took all the drama and stress away so when I finally said, “I do,” it wasn’t in the midst of a meltdown. She also comes with Ashley, who is just as sweet and reliable as her. These are the women you want on your team, especially when some of my bridesmaids lost their marbles.
Lastly, financing a wedding, especially a lavish one, is not something that should be left to chance or to some crazy cousin who may end up drunk in the middle of the day. Problems will arise, many did for me, and having Andrea there to solve them was the best decision I made, after, of course, marrying my prince charming. ;)
Best of luck and thank you Weddings Unique, Andrea and Ashley, for everything you do and for doing it well.
