I don't want this for another bride. When my mom & I met Julia at her office, everything seemed to be going well - I was really happy w/ her. I told her I was overwhelmed choosing HAMU for me & the BMs - she said "I do this for a living, I will send you who to use." I never received anything. I found the HAMU on my own & she never followed up to even confirm I booked HAMU, she didn't care to ask. It seemed like she had her own agenda to have us get things that would just look good for her portfolio. ~ 2 months into working w/ her I told her we want a party bus w/ the wedding party to leave & she told me to get an old Rolls Royce, I said that isn't our style & this is what we want. 2 days later she went to my mom saying she thinks we want the car - She didn't care what we wanted. ~ 1 Week before - we were working w/ the band coordinator (BC), Julia was very adamant about her timeline, which is completely understandable. I simply wanted to clarify that it will be okay if we go off the timeline a tiny bit. I emailed her saying after the grand entrance, we'd have our first dance, father daughter, mother son, & welcome speech - all I said was that we don't need EXACT times after each, if a speech runs over it's ok - we have to be flexible. I told her the timeline was GREAT but things happen so to prepare to be flexible. After this I had no trust - 3 days before the wedding our GMs flights got canceled & I was working on getting new flights, I also was taking the programs to print & she asked to have a call - I texted her what happened, & how overwhelmed/stressed I was & I would call her when I could - all she said was "oh my" not "what can I take off your plate & help?" I THEN get contacted by the BC, that she had told them to throw out the entire timeline, that we didn't want it, & she didn't know if we wanted speeches/dances & she was "waiting for me to have time for her". I had so much to do with no help from her. The BC then called me & I clarified. Julia turned it & apologized to me for the BC getting confused We were late to rehearsal, & she didn't introduce herself to the wedding party while they waited - they thought she was a parishioner praying for the first 20 min they were there. Later, she introduces herself to me. I met her in person - she really didn't remember meeting the bride? She asks if I want to say hi and points to her bag - she had her dog the whole time in the Church. How is that appropriate? Day of, she wasn't setting up until after 2, so my mom was there. I don't have getting ready pictures w/ my mom, something I can't get back because she was doing Julia's job. Julia never asked if we needed anything, she didn't talk to me the day of until it was time to go down the aisle. She just walked past me. I hate leaving a bad review, I know people have off days - which is why we emailed her first. She tried to turn it & make excuses or said "Idk what to tell you", or issues about her personal life, even implying she was a widow which she isn't. She discussed her financial struggle, & made it so personal - this is a business not a friendship - all this shows she doesn't know customer service or business. An apology would have gone a long way. I almost didn't write this but our entire WP told me I had to so this doesn't happen to someone else.

I cannot say this strongly enough: hiring Crystal was unequivocally the best decision we made in…read moreour entire wedding process. From day one, she was organized, direct, and always ten steps ahead. She knew exactly what needed to happen and when, and she kept me on track without ever making me feel overwhelmed. Her vendor recommendations were exceptional -- every single one. You can tell she has the best relationships and the highest standards. What truly sets her apart is what you don't see. There were countless moving parts behind the scenes that she handled seamlessly. Because of her, I was able to focus on the fun parts of planning and, on the wedding day, simply show up and get married. That is such a gift. The entire wedding weekend ran with absolute precision. She and her team solved anything that came their way instantly and calmly -- I was none the wiser. That level of execution and professionalism is rare and priceless. She's hilarious and incredibly kind, which makes the process enjoyable, but when it's time to execute, she is all business in the best possible way. You feel completely taken care of. Not only did she give us a flawless wedding and memories with family and friends that my husband and I will cherish forever, but I feel like she is now a friend for life. I cannot wait to watch her continue to knock every single wedding out of the park. I will be forever grateful for her!

I liked Allison immediately. She was really sweet and knowledgeable, and went through every magazine photo that brought. She responds promptly to e-mails and calls. Day of, my flowers were beautiful! I got the modern green bouquet I wanted. Our families' wrist corsages were very elegant and beautiful. The only reason I knocked down a star on value was because the princess wands for the flower girls were a lot smaller than anticipated. I would've went with a basket of petals if I did it over again.

I worked with Jenny Downs for the floral arrangements for my wedding in May 2018. Our initial phone…read moreconsultation was great! She easily understood my vision, conveyed useful tips based on her experience, and offered her services within my budget. It seemed to be a great fit. When we met to finalize everything, she seemed determined to charge me my max budget. For example, I decided to use bridesmaid bouquets as a centerpiece for 4 of 13 reception tables. However, the total cost of the centerpieces remained the same because she increased the price per arrangement. (Ex: We originally agreed to 13 arrangements for average price of $100 per arrangement or a total of $1,300. When I reduced the number of arrangements from 13 to 9, the total cost was still $1,300 or an average of $144 per arrangement). When I inquired about this increase, she stated that the original quote was an "average" estimate and thus it was reasonable for the price per arrangement to increase. I expected there would be minor adjustments to the cost as we hammered out specifics, but the final arrangements I selected were almost identical to the images I provided in our first consultation. If these images were used to calculate the original quote, an increase of $44 per arrangement was ridiculous. Also, the fact that the increase in the cost per arrangement was exactly enough to cover the amount of $ she would have lost from the arrangements I removed seemed a bit too convenient. Further, we discussed having a floral arch for my outdoor ceremony. When I asked for pricing, she noted that the arch would be $400 as pictured or $350 if I opted for less flowers. I agreed and it was included in V1 of the contract that I signed in Sept 2017. When I received a new version of the contract in March 2018, the details were changed and an additional $150 charge was added for an arch rental. When I inquired about this, she promptly agreed to remove the $150 charge for the rental and to provide the arch as discussed for the V1 price. I was satisfied by how she handled the exchange initially. This changed when I saw the arch on my wedding day. It was noticeably different than the pictures she provided and had considerably less greenery/flowers. From my perspective, she essentially reduced the total amount of flowers/greenery on the arch by $150 for the arch rental charge she agreed to remove. I highly recommend being more transparent with your clients and suggest you never agree to provide the same level of service and then not follow through. Further, I had several issues with the flowers I received on my wedding day. Firstly, my bridal and bridesmaid bouquets had several brown/wilted flowers in obvious locations. While I expected a few flowers in the bouquets to be blemished, we had to replace at least 4-5 roses in my bridal bouquet alone. When I pointed them out to her when she dropped the bouquet off, she was initially apologetic but quickly became irritable when I noted my surprise at the volume of replacements that were needed and the fact that bridal bouquet specifically had so many flowers that needed to be replaced. Lastly, when I walked in to my reception hall after my wedding, I immediately noted that there were bright purple flowers in all of the arrangements when I specifically requested only white, ivory, and light pink flowers. I'm not sure how or why she chose to add a color that was drastically different from my chosen theme/colors... but the mistake could easily have been avoided if she would have sent pictures of the flowers being used in my arrangements. I requested this information from her the month prior to and the week of my wedding but it was never provided. While my negative experiences exceeded the positive, there were things the Elegant Petal did well. Overall, Jenny was a pleasant and helpful person who was easy to communicate with. Further, the flowers were delivered on time and Jenny did a great job setting everything up based on our discussions. Lastly, the flowers were decently priced and designed well excluding the items I noted above. In summary, I had high hopes for the Elegant Petal but was disappointed due to several pricing issues/inconsistencies and the quality/accuracy of the floral arrangements I received. I wouldn't choose them again.

The venue had an alternative rainout location, but we weren't sure if it would be enough seating for our guests. Heather & Sam jumped into action immediately to rearrange the entire ceremony & reception to be under the covered facility. They were willing to do anything & everything to make our wedding as close to what we had originally planned. My biggest mistake was trying to do the decorations on my own! Time was running out & I needed to get dressed & I was still running around trying to make sure things were found that needed to be used for decorating. I worried for nothing! Heather, Sam & her staff took over completely & set up everything beautifully. I 100% recommend Life Events. They go above & beyond to make your dream come true (even in the worst situations). Heather will keep you calm & take care of all your wedding desires. Thank you, Heather & Sam.

At first it seemed a bit silly to hire a wedding planner because I thought how hard can wedding planning be? Well, I quickly realized it is overwhelming, stressful, hectic, and things change so often! Time and time again I would tell my husband how glad I was we had decided to hire Treasured Heart Events. I was fortunate enough to work with Ashlee and she was AMAZING from start to finish. :) I still remember our first phone meeting with her. I expressed all of our concerns with budget, guest count, and so on, and Ashlee listened and addressed all of my concerns. After our conversation, she sent over affordable package options. We decided to pick the month of and design. Ashlee created a design board for us and a budget list (not part of our package). She consistently answered emails in a timely manner and was so helpful! As we all know COVID has been around since March and we unfortunately still had to deal with it in July! There were SEVERAL times I would panic and want to stress cry, but I would send Ashlee an email instead and she would seriously just make EVERYTHING better! It was so nice having someone being positive during such negative times. Well, fast-forward to the month of the wedding and Ashlee, again, on top of things and handling all of the frequent changes with exceptional professionalism. The day of the wedding went so smooth thanks to her and her team. You would not believe how organized, prepared, and helpful her team was! From making sure the decorations were set at the right place to providing eye lash glue, they were ready for it! If you're looking for a wedding planner and don't know if it's for you, JUST DO IT! lol! There are so many things you don't think of, but they do and it helps you enjoy your day more. I will always recommend a wedding planner, but most importantly, Treasured Heart Events. I promise the time(s) will come were you will be so thankful you have them.

She coordinated all of our vendor and day of logistics starting one month before our wedding and was incredibly helpful and a delight to work with. Because of Katie, Steve and I were able to focus on enjoying our wedding day and everything that truly matters at the end of the day. We met Katie about 6 months before our wedding to discuss her services and she was absolutely wonderful from the start. About a month and a half before our wedding Katie had us fill out an incredibly detailed questionnaire which she used to execute everything from coordinating vendors and logistics prior to our wedding day and run our big day. Shortly after I filled out the questionnaire Katie met our venue representative and I to go over all of the logistics of the day and the information she gathered from us was so helpful during that meeting. I was so grateful to have Katie at that meeting because she helped me answer questions and think of things that I would never think of on my own. She is extremely organized and made everything that we dreamed of happen. Katie was a huge part of making our special day run so smooth and I am so grateful for her. If you're thinking of hiring someone for the month of/day of your wedding HIRE KATIE. I wish I could have hired her for the whole planning process. If you can do that, do it! She is worth every penny and more and just a lovely person to know. Thank you Katie!!

Planning a wedding and all the events that lead up to it can be a pretty anxious period and she will be there to keep it together when things sometimes do not go the way its supposed to. But any planner can do that. What set her apart for me is her personality. We've had a meeting stretch to four hours and it didn't even seem like it. We got to talking about mediocre djs, dumplings, and single men. Lol. She is like a friend you can talk to instead of someone you hired. Also, and this is crucial, she will make things happen. In the realm of possibility, of course. :D I told her I was thinking of having lanterns. And voila, not only did she get lanterns, she got them for cheap and she painted them herself! I was also flip-flopping whether I should get drapery, the cost was what was holding me back. And poof, she scored me some inexpensive once-used drapery. She is resourceful and that is something I truly appreciate. I am so glad to have met Katie, and have her guide me in the all too crazy experience of planning a wedding!
