We were so happy that we hired Maggie! At first I wasn't sure that it would be necessary, but my mom lives in another state and was stressing out about not being here, so she hired from Weekend Wedding Warrior, and we got Maggie! She was indisp...ensable to the wedding, talking to all of the vendors and getting things set up before, creating a timeline to the minute for the day of, and making sure that everybody was where they needed to be. She even made sure the groom and I had appetizers and drinks ready for us when we arrived to the reception! She made sure the band leader knew what was going on, and her timeline helped all of the vendors with their planning. I had absolutely nothing to stress about on the day of, and more importantly, neither did my mother. She also gave great advice on vendors, helped me know what kinds of things are typically included in the ceremony and reception (like a unity candle, who is in the procession, ways to be named, when toasts/cake/first dance/bouquet toss happens), and helped me know what I needed to plan. We did a walk through a few weeks before the wedding, where we went to the venue and planned out where everything would go, where our entrance would be, and how we would get there, which was a great help. She worked wonderfully with my cousin who did the decorating, my priest, my reception venue coordinator, my caterer, and my photographer (who turned out to be hard to work with). I do not know what we would have done without her!
