From an event professional - my favorite planner to work with!…read more Tina has the perfect personality for wedding planning. She runs a timeline incredibly well and ensures we're all keeping high standards in our execution. She has awesome vendor relationships, allowing us to create unique, creative layouts. I can't recommend her enough to clients who want a high end wedding!

We used Tina for full wedding planning 18 mos prior to my daughter's wedding. She fell short of our…read moreexpectations on several levels. 1. First, the pros: She was pleasant and it was very helpful that she knew the venue and caterer well and worked there often (we had selected both prior to hiring her.) Since we lived out of town, our availability for in person meetings with vendors was challenging. We appreciated that she was able to schedule our tasting with the caterer during their busy season (not typically done.) She also worked regularly with the Entertainment company (suggested by her) and she was a helpful in communicating our concerns days before the wedding. Aesthetically her design suggestions were quite nice. 2. Now the cons: during planning she often took several weeks to respond to emails. I gave her the benefit of the doubt (our event was months away and she is a one-woman operation.) However, her communication was still unacceptably slow in the few months before the wedding - and on the wedding day when numerous calls went unanswered. When problems arose, I had trouble finding her during the cocktail hour/reception. 3. She didn't check invoices from vendors. Had I not reviewed the floor plan and personally counted all of the tables/sizes, I would have overpaid for the linens by nearly 50%. 4. We wanted a carnival-type claw machine (mentioned in our first interview.) Four months before the wedding, she said she was not able to find one. With 15 minutes searching online my daughter easily found a vendor. Apparently, Tina didn't even do a simple Google search. She was able to suggest vendors, but only if she had previously worked with them. Several florists Tina recommended were not a good fit for my daughter's vision. Ultimately my daughter found a florist herself who was perfect. 5.Tina used Aisle Planner to create a seating chart with numbered seat positions for every table, which I carefully completed. Sadly every guest's seat (except the head table) was in the wrong place. We put significant time and effort into creating our seating plan, taking into account family member's proximity to the bride/groom, guests sitting next to friends, elderly guests being farther away from loud music, who had the best view, etc. REALLY frustrating to discover that more than 100 guests were in the wrong place. 6.At least one name on the escort wall (very expensive custom-made item) was misspelled. It's unclear whether Tina provided the vendor with the wrong spelling or they made the mistake. Only Tina had direct contact with the vendor, and she has refused communication after the wedding to clarify. 7. We rented an Audio Guest book (old fashioned phone) to record personal messages from wedding guests. At the end of the cocktail hr I was told it wasn't working and I quickly notified Tina. It was finally working 3 hours into the evening. Follow up communication from the company proved the device was never turned on, despite clear and simple instructions in the box. I'm sure Tina must realized it was not turned on, but she never explained or apologized for the mistake. 8. Tina failed to keep us on the timeline she helped create. Some of that was due to family speeches/toasts going longer than planned and we took full responsibility for that. She failed on numerous other elements of the timeline: ceremony started 10 min late even though the wedding party was staged & waiting for 45 min beforehand, after the ceremony the bride and groom were kept back by the photographer/videographer much longer than scheduled, and guests were ushered from cocktails to reception 25 min late despite bars being closed at the end of the cocktail hour. 9. She NEVER ONCE asked about bouquet preservation during our 18+ mos of planning. My daughter intended to preserve her bouquet and booked a vendor 6 mos in advance, unfortunately we forgot to mention it to Tina. After the wedding Tina left the bouquet inside a plastic bin that she knew we weren't permitted to pick up until 2 days after the wedding. Had she even thought to ask me at the conclusion of the reception I would have taken the bouquet with me. As our FULL wedding planner, this is a huge failure! Our event was 130 guests, six figures and at the upper end of the price range she typically handles for full wedding planning (per info she provided in our initial interview.) The evening had numerous surprises and unconventional elements, which Tina was aware of weeks to months in advance. It's my opinion that she was over her head coordinating the many details, was understaffed on the wedding day and was unable to handle everything. In our initial interview she said she brings 1-2 assistants on the wedding day. No idea whether she brought help since she never introduced me to anyone else. If your event is pretty standard, doesn't have complicated details, and you're okay with limited and/or slow communication, Tina's probably fine, but check all invoices and quantities carefully!!

Marissa is AMAZING! We utilized her month of wedding coordinator services. She is extremely…read moreprofessional and responsive. Marissa attended our final venue walk through, coordinated and confirmed all vendors, organized the rehearsal and ran the whole show on the day of the Wedding. As mother of the bride, I was able to enjoy the invitation to spend the day getting ready with my daughter and her bridesmaids, knowing Marissa had everything under control. You don't realize all the little details on the day of until you are there. Does everyone have their boutonnières, bouquets, corsages? Are all the vendors running on time? Is everything being decorated and placed as planned? Are guests being kindly escorted to their destination? When someone needed something, she had her magical emergency kit filled with whatever was needed. Marissa is truly gifted and a pleasure to work with. Thank you, thank you Marissa! What a gorgeous wedding

I absolutely recommend Charity and her crew at The Elopement Co. My fiancé and I decided to have a…read moreCOVID wedding and reached out to TEC late July, hoping they were available on 10/10/2020, and with love on our side, our stars aligned and we were in planning mode. I'll be there first to tell you that I am not the planning type, so this was right up my alley. A quick phone call, some emails and a shared Pinterest board and were in business. All we had to do was get the marriage license and decide where we would go for dinner afterwards. Charity and Megan are phenomenal! They're so sweet, professional, responsive, and have more resources than you could ask for. They are so accommodating, and even send reminders to keep you on track. I couldn't have wished for a better team to handle my wedding!! The first time I actually met Charity was as I was walking into the hall to get married and it felt like we were old friends. All of the details were perfect. The decorations, my bouquet, and boutonnières were absolutely stunning!! The ceremony was warm and intimate and our family and friends have still been talking about it a month later. We received our pictures today and I am blown away!! Charity and her team caught the essence of our love and brought me to tears. She captured the love and joy and I am so thankful we will have these printed memories forever! Thank you so much Charity and The Elopement Co. you made our PERFECT day!!

Charity is a A-W-E-S-O-M-E! Contacted her last minute so to say for a shoot and she was nothing but…read moreflexible setting things up. She makes "awkward" photoshoots fun and comfortable. For those who feel shy or uncomfortable in-front of the camera - like me, I like to be behind it rather. Her spunky attitude and up-beat personality makes you forget there is even a camera involved. She delivers what she promised. Photos are ready 30-days after the shoot and the quality of her pictures are nothing but consistent. Charity's skills and talent speak for themselves. Her visual signature is consistent and that is what I was looking for, as an Architect my eye is very critical on details like that and having a uniform portfolio directly relate values and quality of their product. She also offers cakes and bouquet services as part of their packages - nothing like a non-stop shop. We have not booked her for those, but if you follow the elopement company on Instagram, you won't be disappointed by what she can provide. Every detail is tailored to what you want it to be. Look no further for photography! The Elopement Co. is the spot to go.

Since I made the adjustment just minutes before our reservation, I requested a refund for the three unused spots. My request was denied, and I was only offered a store credit, which was pointless since I don't live in the area. I understand businesses have policies, but good customer service is knowing when to make an exception. Learn from my experience and don't pay for your entire party in advance unless you're 100% sure everyone is coming. If someone doesn't show, don't expect a refund.
