My wife and I had already done a lot of the planning for our wedding and in accordance with our…read morevenues requirements, we hired Nam as our wedding coordinator for a 30 day out and day of service. We were initially very impressed with his initiative to get started ahead of that timeline and to offer to take over many responsibilities that we did not ask or expect him to do. With less than 6 weeks to the wedding he started missing his own self imposed deadlines to get back to us with various tasks which started making us uneasy as we would have already have taken care of them if it was still left to us. My wife had a conversation with him 3 weeks prior to the wedding regarding that issue and his general unresponsiveness, he accepted responsibility and put us at ease. While we really like his calm demeanor both leading up to and during the day of the wedding, he was not on top of the itinerary from the beginning to the end and we both felt like he was simply in over his head. Others stepped in numerous times to do his job (notably our photographer/videographer) and help keep the wedding on track with the timeline we had created. Certain things were asked of him several times and yet neither he nor his two helpers (who we were mostly impressed with) delivered. For a smaller wedding (ours had over 200 people) it is very possible that he would do a good job, we however regretted our decision to hire him. Also, we contacted him a couple times regarding items he/his team did not retrieve from our ceremony and he neglected to follow up.

Thank you, a 1000 times for taking the reins, and helping us create the most beautiful 3 days for us, and all our guests!

Thanks for making Teal & Francesco's day so wonderful!

I got married in late November of 2015, and Carolina and her partner helped me navigate my wedding that took place in two parts, the comune in Florence (otherwise known as the Palazzo Vecchio) and the reception/second ceremony/etc at Villa Montalto, our venue. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, they were extremely organized which meant that my husband and I were a lot less stressed out. You have NO idea how complicated things can be planning a wedding with 100 guests in a country where neither of you was born. I could not thank them enough because we truly had a beautiful day that was very much part to their help. I also recommend using them for villa rentals in Tuscany, I live here and it can be difficult to find a reputable agent and they are awesome at finding the perfect villa for you (including one that was the legit 'bramasole' in 'Under The Tuscan Sun' in Cortona.

We could not have pulled off our perfect, gorgeous wedding without her!! Kimery knows everything there is to know about any facet of weddings. And she has great instincts and amazing suggestions that always made things better, and that were always in service of our vision and the feeling and style we were going for specifically. She always heard us and advocated for us and was in our corner at every step. She was also able to guide us in choosing vendors and vendor packages, and in connecting us with anyone we needed (or wanted), even as new ideas came up! And we had the most amazing folks working on our wedding, literally not a complaint about anyone or anything! She went above and beyond in every way, most significantly when we lot our venue two months before our wedding date. It was a scramble to find a new venue that could do the same date, which Kimery was indispensable in. And then after that we had to re-jigger our plans to the new venue, which at times was overwhelming, but Kimery always talked us through those moments and made it manageable for us. Alex and I could not recommend Kimery more fully. She will make your wedding better, the planning more manageable, and the day-of execution go as smoothly as possible. She really is that good!

Beyond being kind and professional, she was incredibly organized and we benefitted so much from her expertise in developing our timeline, coordinating final details with vendors, and just bringing everything together. My biggest hope when working with a wedding coordinator was that I wouldn't have to be worrying about details and logistics during the day, and Annette and Mandy truly allowed my husband and I to be "guests" at our own wedding. She took care of so much that I hadn't even thought of or explicitly asked/talked to her about, and if there were problems or wrinkles in the plan I never heard about them!

She is the perfect event coordinator; on point, coordinated, proactive and incredibly organized. As well, she anticipated what areas of concern we needed to address before they became issues and her calm demeanor led in the coordination of the bridal party, all the vendors, the venue and the staff.

They handled absolutely everything for me, from helping me find my perfect wedding dress to surprising us with a kick ass Firework show on our very last day in Greece. They made it possible to truly enjoy the entire wedding planning process, so that I would not have to stress at all. Not only were they the easiest people to work with, but they absolutely NAILED everything I threw at them and SO much more! Their attention to detail, creativity, vision, organization and professionalism is definitely what I loved about them the most! They curated an entire weekend for my wedding party to the tee, from our magical rehearsal dinner on the edge of a cliff in Oia, Santorini. To sailing through the Mediterranean on the most epic catamaran, and obviously making our special day a day that we will never forget! The list goes on and on!
