Your Dream Day was an essential piece of my wedding experience. Kathy worked extremely hard to make my wedding vision come true. She spoke with me on the phone for many hours, met me for several lunches, several venue tours, and did several run throughs. It down poured on my outdoor wedding day. Kathy gave all my guests umbrellas, she cleaned guests seats with towels, she carried my train above water. The list of things she did behind the scenes to make my wedding perfect - I could truly go on and on. Booking with Kathy and Your Dream Day is an absolute must!! Most importantly Kathy became the emotional support I truly needed during this time and that was invaluable to me<3
Kathy is phenomenal to work with! She knows her stuff and is really good at it! We used content creator package. We had videos of our wedding the next day and I loved having all of the little snippets! She also made us a highlight video of the whole day and other small videos of other precious moments. We 100% recommend!
Kathy is a jack of all trades! Not only is she a great wedding planner but she created reels on social media of our special day! I wish I met Kathy earlier to help with my wedding planning needs! I am so thankful Kathy worked with me to make these heart felt reels to look back on of my wedding day! She captured every important detail! I was on the fence about using a videographer. I would choose Kathy 10 times over one! It is hard to post a hour long video of your wedding day on all platforms. Most married couples who have a video of their wedding day tell me that they only have watched it a couple of times. Wedding day reels from Kathy is the way to go! I have probably watched my reels a thousand times already. Also I can share the reels to friends and family with a breeze! During this process Kathy and I had a meeting to go over what content I wanted captured and she exceeded those expectations! I could not be more amazed with the reels! She has so much knowledge about the wedding industry and is a great communicator. I am so thankful we were able to work with Kathy!
Kathy and I first met during one of many rough times in my life. I had just lost two wedding venues (one closed and one gave our date away) and had just had arm surgery (which I was awake for and it didn't go great, so I was very traumatized at the time) and I was running late trying to parallel park my car with one arm. I remember Kathy calling and me crying on the phone saying how I was struggling to park and Kathy offered to park the car for me. The moment she whipped that car into its spot, I knew she was the one for me. I have numerous health issues and trying to explain my dream wedding and how those issues fit into it, as well as all the normal overwhelming aspects of wedding planning, seemed daunting to explain to a stranger, but Kathy really understood. She got it. Meeting Kathy was one of the best things that ever happened to me honestly. She not only got my wedding back on track, but became one of my closest friends and confidants. Kathy helped me find the most amazing vendors, from the photographer to the DJ, and averted so many crises, from helping find someone to rescue my dress the day before the wedding after the alterationist didn't finish it (but said he did, amongst other issues) to making the random "bubble guy" disappear (apparently people follow wedding parties now and literally stalk you to the church and then offer to blow bubbles for photos for money, but he wouldn't leave after we said no until Kathy stepped in) and everything in between. If you are the person that crazy, random stuff happens to all the time and you really need someone who is at the top of their game, I cannot recommend Kathy enough. If you are looking for someone who will be a friend and a confidant, a protector and manager and emotional support through a challenging part of your life, I recommend Kathy. If you are looking for someone who is a genuinely kind and happy person who will make you feel safe and better about yourself after every conversation you have with them, I recommend Kathy. Kathy, thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart, for making it Our Dream Day! We love you!
Kathy is amazing. She brings so much guidance, attention to detail, and experience to the table. Whenever I got anxious kathy was quick to respond and settle my nerves. On the wedding day she was quick, to help with anything and everything, ran errands and was able to make sure all the small details were ironed out. Having her will be the best thing you do for your wedding and your sanity.
As a DIY bride, my mother and I strived to try and do everything ourselves. As the wedding day was approaching, we realized we could not pull off doing everything ourselves and keep our sanity. We knew we needed help, and then we found Kathy from Your Dream Day, and I think we both were kicking ourselves that we didn’t find her sooner. Kathy took on the crucial details that we hadn’t even thought about. She made sure everything went smoothly from rehearsal dinner to reception. She continuously went above and beyond for us, and cannot imagine the day without her. My advice for future brides is to get you a Kathy for you dream day 🤍
Kathy and her team were an amazing addition to our day. They took so much stress off of my wife and made our vision come to life. I can’t thank them enough for all they did for us. It was a day to remember and we couldn’t have made it happen without them.
Your Dream Day crew was absolutely amazing! They took my vision and brought it to life. Kathy was so well organized and made sure everything was perfect. This crew works so hard and won’t stop! You will not regret hiring Your Dream Day to help you through your big day! Stop stressing and hire the team at Your Dream day!
Kathy was my daughter’s wedding planner. She took off such a weight off of my shoulders! As a Mother of the Bride you want to make sure all of their dreams of their wedding day come to fruition. Kathy made was so friendly and took on so much that I had very little to do except doing all of the fun stuff with my daughter! I would highly recommend Kathy as your wedding and event planner!
Kathy is a great person and wedding planner. Our reception was "nontraditional" due to the pandemic and a surprise/unwelcome cancer diagnosis. The reception ended up being held on our two-year anniversary. Even though we had hired her prior to everything when we first got engaged, she was compassionate and understanding about our need to delay and be flexible. She helped us navigate that and always worked at 110% to bring our vision to life in its adapted form. Kathy listened to every part of our vision and requests (broadcast the derby?... "yes, let's do that!" Serve mint juleps?... "How fun!" Skip the traditional wedding cake?... "great idea. Let's save a ton of money by buying sheet cakes and serving it straight from the kitchen!" and so on.) She brought all of our visions to life, and our guests have told us that it was the best wedding that they have ever attended. We are so grateful!
Kathy was an amazing wedding planner! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a stress free dream wedding. She helped me plan during the craziest part of the pandemic. She has many friends and connections in the wedding industry. She knows how to budget and she’s willing to go the extra mile to save you money. Kathy was my wedding planner and my florist. We picked out the flowers together and she made all my arrangements, bouquets, and boutonnières. Everything was beautiful and we saved so much money. She even drove me to all the wedding appointments and I could always lean on her anytime I was feeling overwhelmed. By the end of the experience I consider her to be a great friend. I expect we will always keep in touch. ❤️
Kathy was a great wedding planner! She knows the wedding scene in Cincinnati, where we got married, and once she got to know us, she knew the sorts of places that would be the best fit for our wedding. It's like having your friend help plan your wedding, if your friend has an in with everyone in the wedding industry. I highly recommend Kathy and Your Dream Day!!
Kathy was a tremendous help and support during our wedding planning. We had to change our wedding multiple times due to covid and the pandemic. Kathy helped guide us through the communication, contracts and all the bumps along the way. This was unlike a year any of us have ever had, and Kathy helped make it move as smooth as it could have.
Kathy and her team did a great job on our wedding day. I didn't have to think of much on the day of, and when I did need something, Kathy was right there to solve the problem. I was so worried about having everything set up as "I wanted it". Her team blew my expectations with the decor and all def had a "decorative eye". We even had some "drama" with someone leaving a personal item back at the hotel and they needed it during the wedding. Kathy personally went back to the hotel to get the item so that the bride/groom didn't worry. We honestly didn't hear about this until the next day!
Your dream day is the perfect name because hiring Kathy is exactly what made it that. I thought I could do this all myself and when it comes down to it, I didn’t want to remember how stressed I was making sure little details were happening behind the scenes. I wanted to relax enjoy my day and my husband. I literally could not have done this without her. She works hard, she runs, she sweats, and she makes sure the day happens exactly how you need it. She also was very good at reacting to a slight change in something and making it happen and moving on. She is a good listener and makes sure not only the bride and groom are taken care of but everyone else too. She is on top of it and all the questions I got everyday from family about the wedding day my answer was “Kathy’s got it.” She did. When she says she’s the first there and the last to leave she is. After the wedding we had minimal work to do, she had our cars packed with all our decorations, cake she cut for us, leftover food, our sand ceremony wrapped in bubble wrap etc. unbelievable how easy she made our day. The good lord made our paths cross at just the right time and I am so blessed they did. You should hire her!
Kathy was absolutely amazing! My fiance is from Ohio but we live in Las Vegas, so I had to plan our wedding from almost 2,000 miles away, sight unseen. And, given the fast approaching wedding date, I relied HEAVILY on Kathy's experience, judgment, and contacts. After only 2 telephone calls, she totally got my style and understood exactly what we wanted. She arranged tours, meetings, and tastings for all our vendors that we conducted during our only weekend visit. She even secured us some pretty great deals with our vendors. To say that Kathy is a superstar at her job is a true understatement. I will forever be indebted to her for helping make my dream a reality!
Kathy and her team are fabulous. It was such a pleasure working with Your Dream Day on my daughter's wedding. We surely could not have done it all without them. People talked all night about how great the wedding was. Every time I go over the wedding in my head I think of one more thing the 'dreamgirls' did to make it all happen. I have already passed their information to a co-worker and continue to sing their praises. Thanks for everything!
This has been such a fun year for me and my (now) husband! Hiring Kathy and Your Dream Day is the best decision we made during the planning. I called Kathy up and asked how everything is done for a wedding. She said that we would go on a ‘first date’ to get to know each other, and if it was a good fit we’d keep dating. It was so awesome getting to know her and just having fun in this wedding planning process. She recommended such great vendors for our day. I can’t thank her enough for all she did for us. Our guests keep telling us it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. It was a day we will never forget!
Your Dream Day made our wedding day perfect! We were so lucky to have Kathy help us with everything, and we felt at ease on our big day. It is easy to see why she is so respected in the industry. (My husband was blown away by her expertise and he is not easy to impress!) Thank you for making the planning seemless!
As the father of the bride, it was extremely important to me that the day of the wedding ceremony went smoothly, and was stress free. Planning for my daughter's special day went smoothly and I was able to enjoy the ceremony and reception without any interruption thanks to Kathy and her staff. All our needs were anticipated and issues addressed with only needing to provide a bit of direction as to our preferences. Our guests commented on how smoothly the day progressed. And, one of the bridesmaid's
So happy we hired Kathy to help plan the weddings for both of my daughters. Kathy offered many creative suggestions to incorporate into both weddings. The vendors she suggested were excellent. Kathy is very organized, detail oriented and makes planning a wedding fun. On the day of each wedding our family enjoyed each minute of the day as Kathy and her team took care of all the details. Thank you Kathy!
My sister had been so stressed trying to plan a wedding, so I am so grateful that I found Kathy in The Knot! She took care of a huge portion of the planning and made my sister’s wedding day stress free! She and her assistants even helped pack up long after most of the guests had left. Her positive attitude, hard working nature, and sweet personality makes her a perfect choice for anyone’s big day!
Kathy was amazing and kept everything running smoothly. I got a wedding planner because I didn’t want to be stressed about planning, I just wanted to enjoy our wedding and not worry about anything. And that’s exactly what we got.
Our string quartet performed music for a client of Kathy's this year. The planning and coordination was impeccable and it was delightful to work with Kathy. We are looking forward to working together in the future!
If I had advice for anyone on planning a wedding, it would be to HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER! Kathy was such a huge help when planning my wedding from giving advice to making recommendations on vendors to decoration inspiration. From our first meeting, she really took the time to understand exactly what we wanted our big day to be like and what things were most important to us. Our wedding turned out perfect and exactly what we wanted. Not only was it beautiful, but Kathy really helped us add little details that fit my husband and I’s interests. Also, on the day of, the last thing you want to do is have to worry about anything. With Kathy and her team being there, I was able to enjoy my day and relax and not have to be stressed or worried if things were getting done. Thank you, Kathy, for making our day wonderful!
I can't even even begin to say enough about Kathy; she is wonderful beyond words. Making the decision to to hire Kathy was the best decision I made for my daughter's wedding. Kathy made the wedding stress free; as she was so professional, organized and kind. At times she worked tirelessly to smooth out any kinks as to give us the perfect fairytale wedding weekend. Every detail perfect. Thank you Kathy, we were truly blessed to have you with us for Maddy and Ryan's Wedding.
Kathy went above and beyond what she had to for our wedding to make sure everything was perfect. Cannot day thank you enough to her- she made sure every detail was exactly how I dreamed!
Kathy and her team stepped calmly into the challenging position of taking over the execution of a wedding planned by someone else. (My fiancé -- Someone who is a control freak type A!) Her patience and great personality helped create what everyone is dubbing 'The Perfect Wedding.' Kathy and her team of dream girls did a great job of making everything run so smoothly. My mom was impressed with the little things, like when they scrubbed down the ceremony chairs after it had rained the night before, until they were gleaming white. That level of detail is what made the day special. They also hooked us up with the DJ and Photographer. Those references were invaluable! They made our wedding day special. Highly recommended!
From the start - encouraging my daughter and wife to use a wedding planner was by far THE BEST thing I did. She then made it easy during there first meeting - I think you called it a "date?" You were the second planner they met that day. Did you know she cancelled the interview with the third? It was an instant level of comfort, professionalism and support. use a wedding planner, and use Kathy! Very up to date on the different style of weddings that are out . Kathy was spot on and helping with different vendors to use that fit our needs and our vision for the wedding and reception. I definitely will be using Kathy for my second daughter.
After unexpectedly going thru 3 different venue planners (at the same venue) in less than a year, and losing the last venue planner the week of our wedding, Kathy (our wedding planner, not our venue planner) did an amazing job at making sure our wedding day was exactly what we'd designed. If she hadn't been there to assist in the 11th hour reconstruction of our wedding, I don't want to think about what it would have been like versus the "wasn't even a single hiccup" wedding we had. If you're looking for an energetic planner that has several weddings under her belt, Kathy's your person.
Kathy was amazing ! She did an awesome job helping find a venue, photographer, and a caterer. She paid attention to what we wanted and made everything come together. Super easy to talk to and was always there during the stressful times leading up to the big day. I would recommend her and her team in a heart beat. Just awesome experience all around I wish I could relive that day over and over again. Took all the stress off my shoulders and just let us have fun and enjoy the moments. Kathy was awesome and still is awesome :)
Kathy did an amazing job planning and executing our wedding. Our wedding was suppose to be outdoors but It actually rained the entire week of and the day of our wedding. Kathy had everything under control and her back-up plan played out beautifully. Everything was perfect and the day went so smoothly. We couldn't have done it without her!
Kathy was always one step ahead and stepped up when things were not going according to plan. She was great.
Kathy was a big help for my daughter's wedding. She took care of every little details and made the day flow very smoothly. She was just fantastic.
Kathy was amazing! She was our day of wedding planner but would help with any questions we had leading up to the day. The day of she helped take all the pressure off of us and our family. So we got to enjoy the day with no stress!!! End of the night we got back to our honeymoon suite with all of presents, food, cake, and a beautiful set up!!! A great personality and fun to work with too!
Kathy was great. She went out of her way to run errands for us across town when we were not able to get things done ourselves! I give her 5 stars.
I had the pleasure of meeting Kathy through a workout group on Facebook. We met several times and talked about what she did as a wedding planner. At first I'll admit I didn't think I would need one, but I'll tell you right now I am so grateful for Kathy and her team of dream girls. My whole day went so smooth, and it was honestly the best experience and day of my life, and I know I have Kathy to thank for that. Not only was I impressed, but after the wedding my husnand, father, and other wedding party members couldn't stop raving about how great she was. She really saved the day on several issues, and allowed me to just enjoy my day without any extra stress.
My husband and I just recently got married and honestly, our wedding turned out more beautiful than we could've ever imagined. It was stunning, really. Kathy at Your Dream Day was a vital piece to making our wedding day like a fairytale. She was on top of everything, very organized, kind and generous, with numerous connections to vendors all over the country to bring together your vision for the day. Anything you need or could want in a wedding, she will find a way to make it happen. Kathy is a fabulous wedding planner and we could've have been happier with how our weekend turned out. My husband and I were blown away with how everything came together, and even to this day, our guests talk about how perfect our wedding was. I would recommend Kathy to anyone who ever needed help with planning their wedding. There's no way I could have done it all without her!!! :)
(Btw, we got the top tier package that she offered because we had a large-scale wedding with multiple day events.)
I was in the wedding party of a wedding using Kathy as the wedding planner. Kathy goes the extra mile for everyone she works with, and is a professional. Everything went smoothly! I would highly recommend her!
Kathy Lucas and her Dream Day team were superb before, during and after the wedding day.
They were knowledgeable, kind, sensitive, patient and above all intuitive to the needs and desires of the wedding party, families and guests.
You can tell when you are working with experienced professionals.
Wow! Five Stars!
Kathy Piech-Lukas and her team were fantastic! My husband and I were from out of town planning our wedding in Northern KY/ Cincinnati area and felt as though we were choosing blindly for many of our vendors. She asked a lot of questions to help us figure out what we wanted... and when we weren't sure what we wanted, she gave us a variety of options at different price levels so we could be sure to stay in budget and still get top notch quality. The vendors we chose knew her team & they worked well together. We had a few vendors she had never worked with before (family or friends of ours), and she made sure that everything ran smoothly. There were a lot of issues with our reception hall the day of the wedding, and Kathy and her team made sure it didn't impact us or our guests. Also at the last minute we had about 30 guests not be able to make the reception and Kathy and her team made sure to coordinate the change of plans with our reception hall (and when the reception hall didn't make the changes the day of, her team was there to fix it before guests arrived). We were also able to borrow a few items from her office so we didn't need to purchase some extras, that definitely helped us cut our costs. Thank you so much!
Do not book Kathy Piech-Lukas and/or Your Dream Day services to help plan your wedding. You will be very disappointed with the amount of money you spend and what you actually get out of the service. We were sold at the beginning by the fancy software and planning/detail she mentioned, but on the day of the wedding, we found out Kathy had booked other weddings and was frantically jumping between them. She had promised us that we were the only wedding of the day, but we had to find out through a third party that she had lied to us. A tremendous amount of details regarding the wedding were missed because Kathy was not present and her team was not aware of the details we had asked for. Even when she was there, she messed up the food at the after-party and the honeymoon suite was nothing like she had promised. To top it all off, she was running around, sweating and yelling at our guests during the reception. On a day when the bride and groom are supposed to be nervous and in need of a support staff, Kathy was just the opposite making things hectic, disorganized, and incomplete. Sadly, she is what a lot of our guests remember about the ceremony/reception. It was a bad decision to go with Kathy Piech-Lukas and Your Dream Day services and we insist that you do not make the same mistake.
Kathy! You were absolutely amazing. My wedding day was perfect and I owe a lot of that to you. You kept everyone on task during rehearsal (and I know we had a big, rowdy bunch) so kudos for that! :) On the wedding day, you were nothing but helpful the entire time. Anything I needed, you were there. I appreciate your organization, your professionalism and your overall willingness to go the extra mile to make my big day that much more smooth. Thank you for handling all situations with confidence and ease. You were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend any bride use you!
I used Kathy for my wedding on July 11,2015 at the Schuster Center in Downtown Dayton. Everything went perfectly from start to finish. I would highly recommend Kathy to anyone planning a wedding in the Dayton area. She came over to my house the day of and steamed my girl's dresses, made sure all the vendors delivered on time and according to our plan, and basically handled everything while still being in the background. She also filmed my whole bridal party entrance for us and thought of things we did not, like saving menus, place cards, programs, etc from the event. Use Dream Day for your wedding!
Kathy was so professional . I would recommend her again. Her hard work really paid off. My daughter wedding was beautiful.
I first heard of Kathy back in 2007 when one of my best friends got married. They had some challenging and unexpected situations come up the day of the wedding, and thank goodness they had Kathy there to spring into action and get things handled. Years later, I crossed paths with Kathy again while planning my own May, 2014 wedding, and it quickly became evident that Kathy had valuable, in-depth knowledge of the wedding industry and vendors in the Cincinnati/Dayton/NKY area, and was extremely responsive, pro-active and genuinely interested in helping however she could. Kathy's Dream Day Cafe space in Dayton is adorable - I could hang out there all day (Free cake samples?! A bridal goody bag? Yes, please! ). Kathy definitely goes the extra mile for everyone she works with, and is a true professional. Her great attention to detail, organization skills, dedication to her clients, and bright demeanor make Kathy of Your Dream Day Cafe a "Dream Wedding Planner" - or as she would say, "Lead Dreamgirl". Highly recommend!!
my wedding was a long journey through health problems and postponing due to those I called so many wedding planners not connecting with any until Kathy. Kathy and I truly connected she was not just my planner she was a friend she was there for me when everyone was stressed and I needed a safe person to vent to. My one point of advice is to trust her team to do what they need to get done my family ended up doing way more than they were supposed to and it made things confusing had we just let Kathy and her team do it I think it would have been much less stressful. The biggest plus was cleanup they did all break down and put all of our stuff back in the containers. Kathy even came the night before when everyone was ready to kill each other to help defuse the situation and stayed way into the night helping with flowers. Best part I had a beautiful wedding and someone I still connect with and check in with to share life's joys. Just remember it is expensive but if you trust them and let them do their job it's well worth it and I only had them for the weekend package.
We ran into trouble with our initial day-of wedding planner, and Kathy really came through and helped us make sure everything went smoothly even though we brought her in only a few weeks before the wedding.
Kathy was the best wedding planner we could have ever hoped for! She went above and beyond our expectations... She's very kind and extremely professional... We are so thankful that we hired her and highly recommend her!!!
Kathy at Your Dream Day cafe was fantastic from start to finish. There is no way we could have done an outdoor wedding without her help, from planning and pointing us in right directions, to ensuring everything went as planned day of before, during and after, so that we could enjoy the day!
Not only did I gain access to other wonderful vendors, a lot of stress was off my shoulders with a day of wedding planner. Kathy and her team are wonderful and even surprised us with special lighting for free!

THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN!!
My daughter was the WINNER of the September 2013 Reading Bridal Show Wedding Package Giveaway!! Our wedding was in Greenwood, Indiana therefore we could not take advantage of many vendors.
Our experience from Day ONE
Kathy was a huge help. We hired her for the "day of" the wedding planning/coordination/organization. She was very organized and gave us (at least me!) the confidence that someone other than the Bride knew all that had to happen to make it all come together. We used her guidance on a few things months before the wedding, as she was always only a call or email away and that alone was very helpful and reassuring. Overall, we were very pleased to have found Kathy.
Kathy and her associates made my daughter's wedding a thousand times more easier to enjoy. They handled all of those little details that you thought about for months and those that we never thought of and took many of our worries and concerns away. Kathy was excellent in coordinating with us and putting my daughter's mind at ease. We really appreciated so much all of extra things Kathy did after the wedding from aiding us in cleaning up to returning our tuxedos for us and many more things in between. It was a delight to have her as our wedding planner.
I used Kathy as my wedding planner for my wedding. The wedding was on a Friday, which made my rehearsal on a Thursday, thus creating a less than ordinary wedding calendar of events.
Kathy attended and orchestrated the rehearsal wonderfully. Some crucial members of rehearsal arrived about half an hour late so we had about 20 minutes to do the physical run through of the processional. Kathy had done so much planning/organizing/communicating before the run through that it went perfectly and there was no need to do a second run through.
The day of the wedding Kathy showed up with an entire suitcase full of items that I may or may not need during the course of the day. She was on time and ready for anything. She spent the morning communicating with every vendor and making sure that everyone was on schedule.
During the wedding and reception she played more of a behind the scenes role. I didn't see her a lot after the processional but I know she was there because everything went according to plan.
When my husband and I arrived in our honeymoon suite that night what we saw was stunning. There were rose petals, candles, cake, and champagne waiting our arrival. It was such a special touch that meant a lot to us.
The wedding was absolutely perfect and went off without a single hitch. This was largely due to Kathy and her help with planning and organizing before, during, and after the wedding. Kathy is an amazing planner and I don't know what I would have done without her! I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for or are even considering a planner.
Your Dream Day Cafe was a wonderful resource for my wedding! Being able to meet multiple vendors at the same location was very convenient for my wife and I. Every vendor and employee we met there was incredibly nice, which is something that we value very highly, since we are a same sex couple and often got a cold shoulder from wedding vendors. I would recommend this service to any couple! The end.
It was so easy working with Kathy and Cady at Your Dream Day Café. My wedding wouldn't have been as wonderful without them.
I had a wonderful experience working with Kathy, Cady, and other vendors that are part of Your dream Day Café. The staff that run the café are very professional and helpful during the wedding planning process. I would recommend their services to any bride.
We were so impressed with Kathy from Your Dream Day. As an event planner myself and an out of town bride, I wanted someone I could completely trust and Kathy was it. Not only did she understand my vision, she completely loved every detail (even if there were a hundred!) and was on board to make it THE most special day of our lives. Kathy and her team were there to make absolutely everything perfect for us and the day could not have gone any smoother.
Kathy was not only an amazing vendor she has also become a friend! I can't wait to stop by the cafe everytime I am in town! :)
I had to change my wedding date a few times for unxepected reasons and Kathy was there all along without making any fuss. She has all the qualities that a true wedding planner should possess, compassionate, friendly, organized, responsive, caring, and resonable. She pays attention to details and that makes a big difference on the big day! I highly recommend her to anyone who would love to enjoy " the big day" without any stress!!
Sincerely
Phyu Lay McLoughlin
