Meticulous, incredibly organized and always one step ahead. She seamlessly jumped in and helped us get our vision across the finish line.

Ashley was a huge part of our special weekend and we're incredibly grateful for all her hard work and help!

I absolutely LOVED working with Sava Sipe for my wedding day. She was amazing from day one, was…read moreable to meet with me all the time even last minute to help me calm my nerves about the wedding! Sava was friendly to my family and minister during rehearsal and also recommended some amazing vendors (limo service, dance studio, hair and makeup etc.) Everything was planned well and put together and my guests were so impressed that the day was so well planned out and put together, and there was not a dull moment. Without Sava I would have been a total mess, and she helped me feel beautiful that day! (She even had a cough drop ready for me when my throat was getting dry from this Texas weather!!) Love you to the moon and back, Sava!!

Im going to speak on our personal experiences working with Andrea. Red flag should've been on our first meeting with her. She was very informative and extremely nice ....with that being said shes extremely gossipy about other clients . Wedding date was set for March 2020 and we've made payments every month until recently sometimes even given more a month. Fiance called her telling her that we needed to move the date. Unfortunately due to circumstances that were beyond our control it had to be moved. She had no problem with it we even told her that we wanted to look at venues in California since we now had more time . She said she would get back with the proposals the following week. I reached out to her in hopes to lower our monthly payments Only temporarily since i had given more money in the past. No response ...2 weeks later we get an invoice for the full amount. I reached out via text asking her to please call us. I received a text no phone call (very professional) . I would assume paying close to 700 a month a phone call can be made. Fiance calls her an explains current situation to what he receives a nasty response ....giving attitude and blowing him off ...her response "i see what i can do" ! Mind you our wedding is still 17 months out now and we are ahead of schedule on payments. Working in customer service your client comes first! We waited friday for her to see what we can agree upon ....friday past... Saturday past.... Sunday past ....Monday Past .... Tuesday midday i received another Automatic reminder stating if i dont pay by today the money given will be forfeited and contract cancelled.. funny how she has yet reached out ...fiance emailed again asking her why she hadnt reached out and that we just wanted our money back. Emails were sent back and forth with her continuing to be ugly (for no reason). Long story short we are taking her to court ! I have the time and i truly believe evil greedy people like that will eventually get their time. Also please know the only thing she did was book appointment 2 separate times for venue viewings and reaching out to get a contract and that was it ! And she wants to keep over 6,000 not even getting back to us on the venues we requested info. On...noone should ever go through what I'm currently going through. The added stresses she has caused me is unreal. The lack of communication ... the lack of sympathy ....truly unprofessional. Brides please be careful !!!

I highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for wedding planning & coordination help - you won't regret it!

My daughter got engaged this past spring, and, although she and I have done quite a bit of…read moreentertaining and hospitality, I knew that a wedding planner was not optional, if we were going to enjoy the wedding. The engagement was 4-1/2 months long, and we invited over 400 people to the wedding, so it was not a small wedding, and obviously there was lots to do in a fairly short amount of time. Additionally, my daughter lives in Seattle, and would only be home for a couple of very brief visits, so that was also a challenge. Although I knew that we needed help with the wedding, I was not hopeful that we could find a wedding planner to whom I would be comfortable relinquishing responsibility and control, but, boy, was I wrong! We were referred to Chelsea, the owner of Everything But the Ring (EBTR), by the Carol Perrard, event coordinator at our reception venue (The Westin at Memorial City). I had told Carol that I wanted to find someone who was not only a great wedding planner, but that was not a snob and would absolutely not add drama to our event. EBTR was arguably the best and most important recommendation we got from anyone to ensure that our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be - and it was! Chelsea is amazing to work with - very professional, punctual, communicated frequently, very accessible, so pleasant, flexible, helpful, forward-thinking; she understood what our vision was, and was fabulous at implementing it. Her experience and judgment were invaluable and contributed immeasurably to the success of the wedding. Since my daughter and I are very organized, we knew there were parts of the wedding that we would like to handle ourselves. At the same time, there were also parts of the wedding that we knew we didn't want to handle at all, and then lots of items in between. Chelsea customized a wedding package for us in which she was up-to-speed on the big picture and the details, but was okay with letting us handle those things we like doing. She kept everything on track, thought of everything, no matter how tiny a detail, and was great about updating the to-do lists and reminding us of upcoming timeline deadlines. Additionally, she negotiated better rates with vendors than I was able to get myself, and reviewed all our vendor quotes and contracts with those vendors I was working with directly, and identified costs that could be reduced or seemed out of line, which information I used to go back to the vendors and get a better quote (my florist and decor company, for example). There were other vendors she dealt with without my involvement at all, except to approve their bids, and everything she arranged was top-notch and reasonably priced. I knew from my very first meeting with Chelsea that she was the right person for us, and that feeling was reconfirmed over and over, but never more than the week of the wedding itself. We had our last sit-down meeting with Chelsea and Carol at the reception venue one week before the wedding, and I was BLOWN AWAY by the details that the two of them together had figured out, and, wow, what a blessing that the two of them worked so beautifully together. They thought of the tiniest little details and logistics that made my daughter and I know that we could just enjoy the wedding week. We were in such good hands!!! Chelsea came by our house a number of times the week of the wedding, transported to the reception venue, to the church, to the rehearsal dinner, etc etc etc. I can honestly say there was not one moment the week of the wedding when I felt anxious or worried, in large part because of the decision we made to hire Chelsea at EBTR. I recommend her and her company unreservedly. Several of the guests at our wedding have contacted Chelsea regarding their own weddings. I hope you have the good fortune to have her help you make your wedding everything you've dreamt it would be.

I first had the privilege of meeting Chelsea at David Tutera's Your Wedding Experience. She was…read morewearing a beautiful black ball gown and was actively approaching people which gave me a great first impression of her. I could right away tell how passionate and hard-working she was so I definitely wanted to meet with her to see if I wanted her to be our wedding planner. Originally, we did not feel we did not need a planner but our first meeting with Chelsea sold us to her services. At our first meeting, she presented us with a folder detailing her services as well as a binder of a wedding that showed us how seriously she takes her job and how organized she is. She is the best decision we made in regards to our wedding planning. Without her, we would not have had all the amazing vendors we got. She helped us get in contact with them and handled all communication with them. We were even able to get a better rate because of her connections. It made the entire process so easy for us so that we could focus on the other things. Her advice was also invaluable. Whenever we would vacillate on something, she would explain the pros and cons but would never push us to a decision. She would always patiently let us decide because she truly was our advocate and helped us put together the wedding we wanted. Her advice was not limited on just the planning and was willing to listen to any problems we had. Especially since she has been in the same shoes, it was nice to have someone that could empathize with everything that I was going through. The big day was where she really shined. She took care of everything so that everyone could enjoy the day which was very important to us because we wanted all our friends and family to enjoy every minute of it, especially since the whole event is only so long. Everyone raved about how amazing our wedding was and anyone that had the honor of speaking to Chelsea that day informed me of how amazing she was as well. I think very highly of Chelsea and I am so happy to have had the privilege of meeting her and working with her. She has such a warm and engaging personality that will make you feel like you are just conversing with a friend instead of working. I especially appreciated her honesty with me throughout the planning because I valued her professional opinion and without it, our wedding would not have been as successful. Thank you Chelsea for making the wedding planning fun instead of stressful. You helped create the wedding we never knew we could have and we are so thankful for everything you have done for us.

During the months before the wedding, I set up two consultations, and both times the staff were super helpful. They helped create the perfect look within my budget. I also coordinated with Ashley (sales manager) a lot via email, and she was always available to answer any of my questions or concerns. On the wedding day, every item was absolutely gorgeous and in great condition! We had a large wedding and they brought everything we ordered and the right quantities. I walked into the reception hall and was blown away by how beautiful the table linens were-- they added so much to the overall look.
