Starting the wedding planning process can feel daunting, magical, overwhelming, and exciting all at…read morethe same time. My advice to any couple starting their wedding planning journey would be to start with selecting your wedding planner and I could not sing my praises highly enough for the Blue Ribbon Weddings team. Trusting your vendors is incredibly important and investing in those you trust will make all the difference. When you're in the hands of Katie and her team you will have nothing to fret from the get-go. I thank my lucky stars that I had heard about Katie and her team through the grapevine and knew that if we needed anything for our wedding day, it was her as our planner. Many people speak highly of her team's organization, communication, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, eye for design, and the list goes on. I had the pleasure of working most closely with Katie and Em - and boy, was everyone right. Not only did they live up to these qualities, Katie and Em surpassed their shining reputation by leaps and bounds. By the time our wedding day came along, we knew if anything unpreventable happened or if even the tiniest detail was slightly askew, Katie and Em would be there to make things right or even better than we planned for. Over our almost two year engagement, they stayed engaged with me, learning as much as possible about my now-husband and I to ensure our day was personalized to our style, preferences, and priorities. I am a perfectionist and was thinking about small details very early on - from the style and design of reserved seating signs to fitting many specific moments into our timeline (like hiding with my maid of honor before the ceremony for a few deep breaths, pouring champagne into a champagne tower for the perfect photo-op, or having a moment to sneak away and make an entrance into the cocktail hour). Not a single detail was missed and she heard every single one of our wishes with eagerness to make our day our dream come true. I cannot fail to mention how Katie and Em circled a coffee table with countless shades of blush, ivory, and sand-colored linens seeing how the fabrics looked in different light and from different angles. I laugh at this memory a bit now but cherish how they took the task just as seriously as I did because they knew how important a small detail like this was to me. Beyond wedding planning checklists, Katie went above and beyond in many other ways that we began to call her our fairy godmother. From ensuring I had a pair of sweatpants to hide from the drizzling rain after my spray tan, providing the best advise on wedding etiquette, to celebrating a job over and move states away during the planning process, Katie knows how to make every moment matter, is there by your side, and even 10 steps ahead. I found myself feeling as though I gained friends in the process, not just a husband. After accepting a job in another state, many people asked how we would plan our wedding from afar. Thankfully, this was not a worry for us. I did not carry a single doubt that Katie and Em would ensure the process was seamless - and our in-person planning turned virtual (pre-COVID) and they handled the new situation with ease and never missed a beat. While I spent many hours dreaming up details I wanted to personalized and focusing on personal items, Katie and Em elevated our vision and made it more than we could ever dream up. I confidently tell everyone I know (and even those that I don't - haha) that choosing Blue Ribbon Weddings would be the best decision they could make for their wedding planning process. Being able to peacefully sleep the night before our wedding was never something I had to worry about until I laid in bed the evening before - I have Katie and Em to thank for this and every single teensy tiny detail that was perfectly put in place for us. I cannot recommend Blue Ribbon Weddings enough. I would choose to work with them a million times again with them at the tip-top of our priority list.

Her vision for us was a little bit country with a little bit rock'n'roll. She truly nailed her design and execution, and helped with vendors. She even helped me get a discount on my wedding dress when I least expected it! Any bridal stuff or wedding moments along the way April was there and my husband and I will be forever grateful for the memories she helped create for our special day. Worth every penny!

The prior reviews (which are clearly written regarding the same wedding) are very hard to believe.

My wedding day was perfect because of them! They host several open houses throughout the year which helped me pick all my other vendors.

The getting ready suites were spotless when we arrived. Perfect areas for getting ready photos. Literally the whole property is a dream and they have done a lot of work over the last year making it even better! I will never stop recommending them!!

From the moment we discovered The Pinery on Instagram, we knew it was something special. My husband…read moreand I live in Naples and wanted a wedding that was completely outdoors but not at the beach. We scheduled a visit about a week after getting engaged and made the trip to see it in person, and the moment we arrived, we knew this was it. We didn't even bother looking at other venues after that. We chose their elopement and catering package for 20 guests and had our wedding on a Thursday, which was perfect for the intimate experience we wanted. Christina and Jeremy are wonderful hosts, and their daughter Ruby is the sweetest. They make you feel so welcome and truly care about the couples who get married there. The venue itself is beyond words; magical, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful forest and nature. Honestly, you don't need to do much decorating because the venue itself brings the magic to life. My husband and I are both from up north, so being surrounded by the pine trees made the day feel even more meaningful and nostalgic for us. We loved the different package options they offered. When we booked about a year ago, they didn't yet have the all-inclusive package, but knowing how attentive and thoughtful they are, I would absolutely recommend it because I'm sure they go above and beyond with every detail. On the day of our wedding, Jeremy was already ahead of everything, even monitoring the weather for us. He let us know there was a chance of rain and walked us through options just in case. We decided to trust our gut and move forward with the outdoor plan. In the end, it started to rain right after we finished dinner, and it actually became another sweet and memorable moment from our magical day. Our family was beyond impressed with the venue, and we couldn't have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate such an important moment in our lives. Thank you again, Christina and Jeremy, for sharing such a beautiful and special place with us!

She was present at every single meeting with vendors and made sure they knew exactly what their role was on our great day!

On the day of the wedding, everything was exactly as is was supposed to be... Joyce was there to coordinate everyone and all we had to do was enjoy the party with everyone else. I would most certainly recommend Creative Designs to anyone who wishes to have the wedding of their dreams.

We made the decision to have Adrian run the audio and music for our ceremony and reception, and I'm glad we did. Everything was perfect, including our mics. His team was also amazing, everyone loved them and they kept the party going until the very end. If you're looking for a great Dj, look no further!

Michelle was very kind and professional but I felt some things did not turn out the way we discussed. Nor did we discuss a timeline of delivery (along with other details) which I felt was on bluegrass to address instead of myself asking for answers. The biggest mishap was my bouquet. I asked for my MOH to have a SMALLER version of my boutique with certain colors. I made it clear I did not want it to be obviously the same as my bouquet. Well the day of me wedding comes and my boutique is smaller than my MOHs. We had already needed to start photos so we were stuck with it for a while with photos and we could not find a florists. My bridal party agreed with me as well as other family members that were near me. My MOH was even confused as to which bouquet was mine and which one was hers. When we were finally able to track a member from Bluegrass down we let her know of the issue. She then took the bouquet away to fix it. Mind you we are on a timeline for photos & our ceremony so some of our photos we didn't have our florals. When she came back I still felt it did not make much of a difference as far as size and color combination. Also considering the bridesmaids flowers were huge in my opinion. I am still pretty livid that my bouquet looked exactly like my MOHs but smaller and smaller than the bridesmaids. I do not see how this was even possible for them to think was a good idea. With that said, I loved my reception flowers but for my budget I felt some of the center pieces were a little smaller. I made it very clear I wanted a very lush look. I do not think they were honest about giving me that. If my budget was the issue again I would have liked better communication and direction. Positives were my sweetheart table and freshness of the flowers. Although I loved my sweetheart table and center pieces I would not recommend this company considering how frustrating it is to have your bouquet be SMALLER than the bridal party. As a bride this should not be a concern.
