What's The O'ccasion Wedding & Event Planning

ow about her amazing skills to talk you through situations when stress is high and you are upset/frustrated during the process. We appreciate every ounce if O’s time and experience. She is highly recommended.

and then some. When it was getting close to the wedding she was right there when I needed her. Answering all questions, comments, and concerns. Love her.

the start. Made sure we worked together, updated each other, and worked on making the day special for the Demmings. If you looking for a planner for your special day. Look no further!!!!!

O'ccasions Wedding & Event Planning was!!

e weather and a few other unforeseen situations. However, WTOW still made sure things flowed as best as they could. Our wedding definitely went down in the book as one of the Best! Thank you to the entire WTOW team. Blessings

name kept popping up. So I figured it had to be a sign. She had reached out from the recommendations so I have a brief text convo with her. Long story short we had a call. Perfect match! My husband and her met and we both were connected. He normal doesn't like people. But he sense the compassion and professionalism. Fun and very very good at what she does. I did full planning with her and she delivered! Exceedingly. When issues arose she was there. When I texted her at 2am she responded. NO QUESTIONS. I can't recommend another person in this world other than the lovely Ophelia Childress to be apart of your day. Making it special. If there was a problem at my wedding I literally know nothing of it. She handled it. And let me not forget her crew. There was a lovely lady by the name of Jarrise. She was so polite and sweet and help in was I'm sure she didn't know. I've got a bond with WTO for for life and every O'ccasion.

re process from the beginning was top tier!! I mostly enjoyed how Ophelia used effective communication with her vendors.. Just on top of every single detail!! She’s is definitely a gem to the wedding world!

d I felt like I was talking with a friend rather than a stranger! Although she had never done an Indian wedding before, Ophelia made it a priority to ask questions and do a lot of research about Indian weddings. She was always a step ahead by making sure I had thought through everything and had a plan B if things didn’t go according to plan A. During a few really stressful moments, she kept me calm and made me laugh..a lot! She is very efficient and took care of all the details, big and small, during a 20 hour day. We started off working together but ended up as friends! She’s the best wedding coordinator and I would recommend her to all couples!

mazing! She was there every step of the way and went above and beyond her duties! The day of my wedding went so smoothly thanks to her and her team! I can't thank her enough for all the hard work she put in! She is definitely the go to person for all things wedding!

midst of a pandemic with absolutely no in-person meetings, WTO handled all of the intricate details and negotiating that comes along with planning destination wedding, including vendors. WTO's communication, professionalism, transparency, and overall willingness to prioritize our desires for the wedding helped make this event the destination wedding of our dreams. We were reassured at every point throughout the planning process that WTO was executing our vision for our wedding gracefully.

consulting and coordination for my 25th vow renewal. This included vendor referral and management, planning, budget review, contract negotiation and more. Ms. Childress asked all the right questions to best understand what we expected during out initial consultation and the rest was history! I am beyond satisfied and would recommend her to anyone looking to host an exceptional and memorable affair! My husband and I felt like this team was part of our family. Our vision for our vow renewal was fulfilled in every single detail. We are beyond thrilled. Elegance and excellence at it’s finest!

made the Hotel Teams job much easier. I definitely recommend her.

ed and need. Based off of that I knew she was going to be our Wedding planner. She has help us a lot every step of the way. From the start of finding us different designers to accommodate our cost to two days before my wedding giving birth from a hospital bed and still checking to see if we have everything we need. Ophelia and her team are wonderful and I will be glad to have her help with future events.

was an instant connection and we knew we wanted to use her services. I knew a good bit about what I wanted and planned for our wedding after our replan. I thought I could do most of it myself, but she brought so much to the table! From great vendor and decor recommendations to keeping me on my timeline to asking about things I had not/would not have thought about to helping us arrange all of my flowers and keep vendor shenanigans at a minimum - she was truly phenomenal.She will listen if you just need to vent, and make you feel like everything is okay, and most important she will make sure everything actually is okay! Ophelia was always responsive and easy to talk ideas or concerns through with. Many times, she'd understand what I was trying to say way better than I could explain. Being able to utilize her for help communicating with vendors was a blessing and a huge burden off of my shoulders. She was dynamite our entire wedding weekend. From hanging out with my dad and I when I fell ill to making sure the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner went seamlessly. For the ceremony, she turned this giant empty space into the most beautiful ceremony site and something I hadn’t pictured in our wildest dreams. She was so chill (prayed with me the morning of) and calmed our nerves for us. I felt that I could totally leave all vendor matters to her, which was a huge stress relief and she only included us when she absolutely had to. Throughout the month of our wedding, Ophelia was very communicative and, overall, just great – and fun! – to work with. We've been married for three weeks now, and we still talk on a regular basis.vShe’s moved from being just our wedding planner to being a friend. Working with Ophelia was like working with a good friend, and I am incredibly thankful to have had the chance to do so. She has a gift and we’re eternally grateful that we got to experience it. We recommend her with the utmost confidence and cannot imagine anyone better to help with your special day!

nized throughout the entire process!!! Definitely 5 stars

r afterwards. As a bride on their wedding day, I experienced immense stress due to lack of a time line being followed and communicated. Moments before I walked down the aisle, I was making sure and locating the the rings, flowers, and flower basket for my ring bearer and flower girl. More money was spent on photography due to lack of communication and scheduling. I received an invoice after my wedding from another vendor--when asking the planner about it, I was met with perceived defense and attitude instead of accountability. As the bride, the management of vendors the day of our ceremony was not my job. Therefore to be met with defense when assessing the reason for a new invoice was extremely unfortunate and unnecessary. I don't have nor will I receive our unity candles from our ceremony. I was told I didn't have to buy our unity candles because it was "taken care of", but if I would have known a planner would keep our unity candles (that have no meaning to a planner) I would have happily purchased them myself. I didn't ask for it to be a "gift", but extremely disappointed that my husband and I will never have our unity candle in our home and possession. Due to my personality, I most likely would have let this slide if I felt that there was a sense of care, accountability, and/or empathy. My experience has not been positive since my wedding day. I have only received passiveness, attitude, and stonewalling. Leaving an impact on our honeymoon and the honeymoon stage of our marriage. In short, I understand the difficulty of being a business owner, but customer service and how you treat people goes A LONG way. Especially with an investment as large as a wedding.

we had everything we needed to do our jobs well. Which is the definition of a "leader", helping others to be successful so the event will Flawless & Smooth. I can go on and on but her work ethic was wonderful, her attitude was so positive, and it made the difference in the success of the event and her clients happiness & experience. Great job Ophelia!

y know my birthday is a challenging time for me as my mother (who is deceased) birthday is the very next day. Celebrating is hard. This year I wanted to be different. When I tell you Ophelia planned every bit to the detail from Thursday night couples massage for my husband and I to dinner Friday night to our Saturday day part which was LIT by the way. It was absolutely enjoyable, fun and the best! Thank you for your services!

our catering setup seamless as possible. I definitely recommend their services for future events and other engagements! We look forward to doing business together in the near future!

anized and on time for the drop off. I would definitely highly recommend “What’s the Occasion” her for any Special Event, her decor is beautiful!!! See you soon and thanks again for choosing @kocktails&karaoke.

expecting her to say it was too short of a notice and she wouldn't be able to help... Well she showed me! Within a matter of hours, I'd made my deposit on a dinner for two in my home! She organized food, drinks, music, and decor that was absolutely beautiful! It was a surprise for my husband so the timeline had to work perfectly. She was on time and made sure everything was set up before my husband came home from work. I really appreciate her hard work and attention to detail to make our anniversary a success. I would definitely recommend Ophelia and What's The O'ccasion Wedding & Event Planning for any of your even planning needs!!!

cally with us in mind which made this experience one of the best we've had. I would highly recommend & trust Ophelia to execute your vision to become reality.

wn time between ceremony and reception. She had even opted to include social media filters and hashtags into the ceremony and reception so pictures taken by guests could be easily found. This wedding was one of the best one events I have attended. I will definitely be recommending her services to anyone I know searching for a planner.

ng. Ophelia and her team made this one of the most elegant weddings I’ve ever attended. The decorations, preparation, punctuality and overall experience was breathtaking and impressive. Everything flowed perfectly from the rehearsal to the reception. O’ccasion Wedding & Event Planning is top notch. Hire them!!
