This is the worst woman I have ever met in my life. She robbed me of my deposit despite the fact…read moreshe didn't do anything besides google things. I had to hire another planner who did the job in 3 weeks. I hired Veronica in May for my baby's birthday and 7 months later still nothing was done and she refused to give me back my money. She then texted me extremely threatening texts almost 3 months after my event to remove my one star review or she will sue me. She would then block me and then unblock me and continue to send threatening messages. This woman wants to keep her shady business practice behind wraps. She also threatened me about someone else leaving her a bad review. Her google reviews are mainly all one star reviews. She is the worst thing to ever happen to me. I wish I contacted the other party planning business before I came into contact with this evil person. I have included screen shots of her harassment. I have informed the police department and will take all legal measures should she continue to threaten and harass me. Her number is listed to show you she is the evil person behind these texts. Oh and she kept my money and did no work for what I paid her for. Keep that in mind. Google her. There is nothing but bad things written about her all over the internet let alone her google reviews. I should have read about all her unhappy customers and negative articles written To Veronica's comment: YOU are an absolute liar. I don't need to speak on whatever crap you're saying because a simple search of your google reviews will show all of the horrible reviews you have. If you google "blue ivy and Beyoncé" you can see articles of Beyoncé asking for a restraining order against this awful woman. Poor excuse for a human being! Literally everything she wrote in her response to my comment is a lie and don't entertain her BS! One simple google search will SHOW all her unhappy customers dating back YEARS!

Oh wow, where do I begin? VERONICA YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!!! It's been exactly 1 month since our…read morewedding day at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, so this is long overdue! Being in the wedding industry myself, I am extremely picky about who to entrust on our big day. Having a wealth of contacts to plan our own wedding, we undoubtedly knew Veronica was THE ONE for us! From our first interview with her she was on point, meticulous and had a back up plan for our "back up plan". She listened to our needs and wedding vision, kept me motivated and on time with my checklists and truly "got it". From day one I conveyed to her that we were looking for a "bulldog" day of coordinator/Superwoman that could handle a large wedding party (11 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen), large family, out of towner guests and whatever drama might enfold. I wanted someone as detailed as I am, if not more but who truly cares and understands the entire process. We found all that in Veronica, and then some! Her attention to detail is above and beyond. She has her templates, checklists and timelines down to a science. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch (at least that I am aware of). That's what I call a GREAT day of coordinator. I was never concerned or bothered by things that came up because it was fixed before I even knew about it. She was there for us until the very end which was 1:00 AM and was so attentive and checked in on us often!! LOVE that! By the way, she's so much fun and had a blast singing/dancing along with her and our FAB DJ. Our family and friends fell in love with her as well, that I almost forgot she was my planner. :) In a good way that is. She was extremely professional but was so down to earth, she was like family. She's a friend for life!! I highly recommend her and her team. In conclusion: Do yourself a favor, stop looking and call Veronica for your big day!

Kaitie was an exceptional Bridal Consultant. She made everyone feel welcome, and took the time to…read moreget to know the bride (my sister), her preferences and her vision.

Extremely disappointing bridal experience!…read more Our experience with Katie at Flair was one of the most disappointing parts of my daughter's wedding dress search. Before our appointment, we had personally heard concerns from several people we know about their experiences at Flair. My daughter consciously put those concerns aside because she was hopeful and genuinely wanted to experience Flair for herself. Unfortunately, after our appointment, we learned that the people we knew who had shared those concerns had also had Katie as their consultant. We arrived 12 minutes late to our appointment and were immediately told that it was fine, but that we now had only 48 minutes. We understood that we were late, but the tone was abrupt from the beginning. Despite my daughter having been asked in advance to send the designers and specific dresses she was interested in, none of the dresses had been pulled in preparation for our appointment. The lack of engagement continued throughout the appointment. Between dresses, while my daughter was changing, Katie would repeatedly go back to the desk, peruse her laptop, and grab another dress. She never once engaged with the three of us sitting there or used that time to talk through what my daughter was looking for. When my daughter was ready in the dressing room, she actually had to call out to Katie to let her know she was ready so Katie could come in and adjust the dress. There was never a sense of excitement or anticipation. There was no "magical reveal" or moment where my daughter was made to feel like a bride. The appointment felt more like moving through a series of dresses as quickly as possible than creating the experience you would expect from a bridal boutique. What was most troubling, however, was Katie's treatment of my daughter. Rather than getting to know her, her vision, her wedding, or even the people who had come with her, Katie spent a significant amount of time lecturing her about the bridal process. She questioned why my daughter had not already chosen a dress--whether she hadn't found "the one," or whether the process had been "too quick and too easy" and she wasn't trusting it. She talked about how a bride needs to "manifest" her dress. She asked very rehearsed, direct, and quite frankly abrasive questions on WHY she wasn't ready to make the decision right there and then. It felt less like supportive bridal guidance and more like Katie was trying to convince my daughter that she was approaching the experience incorrectly. My daughter was never made to feel celebrated as a bride. When we asked reasonable questions about the dress, including the bustle options because my daughter felt the dress was heavy, Katie seemed aggravated and initially dismissed the question by saying there were "many options." When I asked about the price, she said it was within budget and responded, "I told your daughter the price in the dressing room, it is within budget." Even the veil experience felt rushed and careless. Katie said, "I'm no hairdresser," grabbed a few pieces of my daughter's hair, and hurriedly put the veil on her head. These may seem like small details, but during a bridal appointment, those moments matter. A bride should feel beautiful and cared for. By this point, my daughter was upset and overwhelmed and knew she wasn't ready to make a decision. When she asked if she could come back in a few days before she had to head home, back to Tampa, Katie told her, "No, I'm completely booked." She then proceeded to pressure my daughter into taking her measurements so she could just call if she decided to proceed with the dress. Katie ultimately asked the three of us accompanying my daughter to leave the area and wait in the hallway because her next bride and mother had arrived. I understand appointments need to stay on schedule, but the lack of any flexibility, combined with the pressure my daughter was already feeling, made the entire experience feel extremely transactional. At one point, while measuring my daughter, Katie even asked, "Did I say something?" By then, the answer was obvious. A bridal appointment should make a bride feel excited, beautiful, heard, and supported. My daughter left feeling rushed, interrogated, and pressured. We came to Flair willing to put aside things we had previously heard because my daughter wanted to experience it for herself. Unfortunately, our experience confirmed those concerns. Our lasting impression was that making the sale was more important than helping a bride find her dream dress. That is not the experience we expected from a bridal boutique, and I would not recommend booking with Katie.

My experience with Linda Desai and the lemon drop team was amazing. I had a very last minute…read morewedding with less than 6 months of time to plan it. I would say I considered really hard whether or not a planner was worth it and alot of my friends were saying I could definitely plan it myself along with the venue coordinator. However I have zero regrets hiring the lemon drop team. I do believe that without this team I would not have been able to fully enjoy my wedding as much as I did. It sounds a little cheesy but the day went almost perfect which is not at all what I was expecting. I think without this team I would've been a chaotic mess of a bride the day of. She made sure I was where I needed to be at all times without being pushy if that makes sense.

As a bride, I didn't need a lot of help on the creative side, but Mandy's help was crucial to getting everything executed. Without her organization and recommendations for vendors, I guarantee we would have arrived at our wedding day with a lot of enthusiasm and very little actual wedding Also, I appreciated throughout the process that when I wanted to go with my own vendor or DIY, Mandy was very open to those ideas- I never felt pushed to choose someone she prefers to work with or anything like that. As a fellow wedding vendor, we have collaborated since and it has been a joy to watch her creative design and styling process as well. Mandy has extremely chic taste, and yet she is a chameleon when it comes to creating events and inspiration shoots that are unique, creative, and show incredible variety. It is always a pleasure to work with her and see what she comes up with. I highly recommend bringing Mandy in to make your planning process as smooth as possible, resulting in the wedding you wanted, elevated.

They specialize in non-traditional, same-sex, and green weddings (though I think they do other non-wedding events, parties, etc. too). We were coming from out of town and looking for an elopement package at a Boston-area hotel without success. Most of them said they had no space to hold the small ceremony at the hotel other than in a bedroom suite (I think it's kind of weird to get married in a bedroom!). Anyway, I came across It's About Time via a web search and I'm so glad that I used them to help me plan everything. Bernadette was extremely responsive to all of our emails and questions, was flexible with all of our requests, seemed to know exactly what she was doing, had great suggestions for vendors that were a perfect match for us, and made the day exactly as we envisioned. All of their wedding packages are custom made so you can include whatever is important to you, and skip the other stuff. Since we were coming from out of town and were a little stressed out about figuring out all the license and waiting period waiver stuff, she picked us up from the airport, personally took us directly to the clerk's office and the courthouse, and basically led us through the whole process! She found us a delightful little B&B that I never would have been able to locate on my own, and arranged for us to hold the ceremony in a common area there. She also found us a really fun photographer and am amazing officiant who was perfect for what we were looking for. Ditto on the flowers, cake, etc. Every detail was handled perfectly and we were able to really relax and just enjoy the weekend knowing she was taking care of all the details for us. And I thought the price for our package was quite reasonable. Anyway, I can't believe this company hasn't been written up yet but I'm glad to spread the word. I'd highly recommend It's About Time for couples coming from out of town, same-sex couples, and anyone else looking for someone to help make your wedding ceremony really special and customized and exactly the way you envision it.

Through out the wedding week, I cannot count how many times I said the words "I love Emilie"... "I…read morelove this girl"... "What would I have done without her...". Words cannot express how fortunate my husband and I were to have hired Pink Orchid Weddings (Emilie). I first met Emilie in 2010 during my good friend Martha's wedding and witnessed first hand the great work Emilie produced. It wasn't until my actual wedding that I REALLY understood how much goes into her job and how good she is at what she does. While my wedding was in Boston, I planned it from Philadelphia. I consider myself a relatively organized and relaxed bride, but even I managed to fall victim to the stress of planning a wedding. Even with the random curve balls that were thrown at Emilie (last minute vendors being added 3 days before the wedding, trolley companies backing out,...etc) Emilie always kept her cool and helped me prioritize and organize myself. While professionalism and attentiveness are just a couple of the many positive traits that she will showcase when you work with her, what it all boils down to is that she is simply a truly good person who loves her job. For example, after a long wedding day. Emilie went above and beyond her duties and gave the exhausted bride (me) a lift to the hotel. While it is strange to say I went home with my wedding coordinator, it honestly was not weird at all! While this is by no means part of her job, it just demonstrates how dedicated she is to her job and how thoughtful of a person she is. I highly recommend Pink Orchid Weddings. I can honestly say that my wedding would not have been nearly as memorable if I did not have Emilie there by my side.

I can't believe that I get to be the first Yelp review for Pink Orchid! I have no idea why they…read moreweren't on here to begin with, but here goes... After getting engaged and deciding to plan a wedding 3000 miles away from my venue and never having been to a wedding as an adult, i realized that I should probably get some help. I had no idea what really happens during a wedding never mind how to plan a wedding! So I found Pink Orchid through my photographer Shang Chen of Shang Chen Photography who HIGHLY recommended this company. I looked through the photos on their webpage and was a little worried that my wedding wouldn't be fancy enough for them but after chatting via email I decided to meet up with Emilie while I was in Boston. I immediately liked her and realized quickly that she placed no judgement on my budget (and mostly DIY) wedding. I hired her as our Day of Coordinator. This was by far the best decision I could have made in my wedding planning process. Emilie sent me a monthly checklist to keep me on track during my year long planning process and was always available via email for any questions I had. A month or so before the wedding Emilie and I had our first phone consultation (this wasn't an in-person meeting because she's in Boston and I was in CA). We spoke for several hours going over every single detail of my ceremony and reception. After getting all of my details in order she set up this amazing list of all of my vendors and what they were providing me and she personally followed up with all of them. She also provided me with a timeline of events down to the minute! Now, this sounds kind of anal (well, it did to me at first...) but it wasn't. She just had a good grasp on how the day should go and was able to put it all down on paper in an orderly way that I never could have done in a million years. The morning of my wedding, Emilie arrived bright and early to our hair appointment and checked in with me before she went to our venue. When I got to the venue she already had everything rolling. She filled me in on what had arrived and made sure that I was doing well. I felt so calmed by her presence, knowing that everything was going to be set up exactly as I had wanted (or better). She worked with my venue coordinator to make sure the food and service went well and worked with my other vendors to make sure that they were providing to me what they had promised. Emilie was there to help fix my flower girl's pomander when it broke. She was there when the lunch hour became a little boring and helped moved the timeline along faster to get the dancing started. It's those little things throughout my day that I didn't want my mom or I to think about or stress out about and Emilie made sure that we didn't stress out about anything. Emilie helped take down all of the elements that they had put up that morning and had it all packed up in boxes ready to be put in cars. Through set up and take down she was amazing. I HIGHLY recommend Emilie and Pink Orchid Weddings for anyone getting married who needs a little (or a lot) of help. The service was a little pricy, but my cross-country planning self needed some reassurance that everything was going to work out that day and it did. My wedding was absolutely amazing and I owe a part of that to Emilie.

Looking back now, I can't imagine this past year without Alexis and her team at the Little Things. Alexis is cool, calm, and collected. She has an incredible eye and seemingly limitless patience. She gave me the space to design specific elements of our wedding while providing her expertise at every turn. Her high standards have helped her build a network of vendors who truly bring their A-game. My fiancé and I definitely put The Little Things through the ringer with our out-of-the-box interactive displays and AV set up. Alexis took it all in stride, remaining positive, managing our expectations, and meeting every challenge presented and exceeding expectations throughout. If you view wedding planners as a "nice to have," and not a "necessity," I would change your thinking. There are SO many things that can come up, and they would have easily derailed us many times in our planning if it were not for Alexis who acts as part wedding planner, part therapist throughout the process! ha! When you look back at your wedding, if you're like us, you will constantly be bringing up amazing memories, and you will find yourself saying "Imagine we didn't have Alexis."

If you want to enjoy the process of planning your wedding as much as your wedding itself, run, don't walk, to TLT. Alexis & Kayla were by far the most important and most valuable decision we made for our wedding. After following TLT on IG for some time, I knew I liked their high-end, laidback vibe, and from our first conversation we were bowled over by how those traits translated to the people behind the scenes. From early days with thoughtful questionnaires into every aspect of our identity, Alexis and Kayla began the journey of getting to know us better than we knew ourselves, and helped us establish a mood, a design aesthetic, and a way of working together that made the year of planning our wedding a true joy. What you can expect from working with TLT: monthly meetings where you will laugh until you cry, a meticulously organized online checklist of to-dos with assigned owners and gentle and timely reminders, to be presented with teams of vendors who match your vibe and price point (you can always suggest your own vendors and TLT will vet them too), never having to send a single email to a vendor (!!!!), a sense of comfort knowing that everything is IS THE BAG, and in the critical days leading up to the big day and including the big day itself - being able to be present and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. Alexis and Kayla helped us author our first big creative project together as a couple and will be lifelong friends. They assembled a squad of the COOLEST, most hardworking vendors we could imagine, and we will be forever grateful. If you are on the fence about working with a planner, DO NOT HESITATE to take the leap with TLT. They are worth their weight in solid gold.
