There aren't adequate words for how awesome Heather is and how thankful my husband and I are that…read morewe booked Vintage & Lace for our wedding last month, but here goes! We were already leaning toward hiring a coordinator but then our venue (Ma Maison) required us to have one so we contacted their entire list of preferred vendors for coordinators and we are so glad we did because that's how we found Heather from Vintage & Lace!! Of all of the planners and coordinators we talked to, I was just immediately drawn to how warm, friendly, AND organized she is. Heather is an absolute pro with countless weddings under her belt, but still so kind and easy to talk to. Then, despite planning our wedding from another city, Heather made it SO easy and smooth. We technically only booked her for day-of coordination (with full communication/access the month prior) but from day one, she was still always available via call, email, text, whathaveyou, no matter when or what kind of (ridiculous, I'm sure) questions I had. We didn't actually meet Heather in person until our rehearsal the day before our wedding, and she was an absolute ROCK STAR the entire weekend. She managed to wrangle our large wedding party (14 bridesmaids and groomsmen) and all of our family (including bilingual and non-native English speakers, as well as divorced family) with both grace and authority. It's also worth noting we had several extras (a Chinese tea ceremony before our wedding ceremony, two large shuttles to transport our guests to and from Dripping Springs, getting Whataburger delivered to our venue for a late night snack) and Heather handled EVERYTHING seamlessly. Anything I thought of or had concerns about, she handled before I even voiced them to her! If anything went wrong on our wedding day, I have no idea what it was, because Heather was ON it. She was also incredibly thoughtful and adaptable, from my mom wanting to move the cake-cutting earlier, to making sure all of our belongings were packed away and that we had plenty of snacks and drinks in our getaway car. Her day-of assistant, Jasmine, was also so helpful and sweet. They both made the entire weekend just a wonderful, fun, amazing experience where we got to fully enjoy getting married and celebrating with family and friends. I can't recommend Heather and Vintage & Lace more highly -- BOOK HER NOW! I won't say "you won't regret it," but rather, you'll regret it if you don't! Heather, thank you thank you thank you SO much for all your hard work and support in making sure our wedding was an amazing, dreamy, unforgettable experience!

Six weeks before my wedding, I panicked and contacted a multitude of wedding planners and…read morecoordinators. Due to COVID, I was exhausted from cancelling an overseas wedding and dealing with two reschedules; I could no longer handle all of the logistics. Enter Heather. She was quick to respond and schedule a meeting with me and my then fiancee to discuss details. She was calm, interested, and prepared. She assuaged my panic and let me know that 6 weeks for a 30 person wedding was easy peasy. I cannot recommend Heather enough! With my hectic work schedule, she contacted me via email as my preference. We are based in Philadelphia, and while we didn't meet until the day before the wedding, you definitely couldn't tell as everything went off without a hitch. Well if there was anything wrong during the ceremony and reception, we had no idea. She handled all of our vendors seamlessly and made everyone feel safe during the pandemic. I definitely know now that we couldn't have pulled it off without her!

We got married last year and we've been waiting to write this review since the wedding night…read more.. Let me start by saying Lindsay was incredibly nice. That makes it a little tough to say the things I'm about to say, but your wedding day is important and we found In Her Shoes online...so we wanted a very honest review for people to have when making their decision on who to use. We did the full package: start from months out and Lindsay was supposed to plan every detail. We lived across the country so we needed her to do a lot of the groundwork. All of this was discussed in a phone conversation before agreeing to work with her, as was the budget. Looooong story short, Lindsay went 40%+ over budget. The only deals we got, we found on our own (I randomly found a photographer that was incredible and half the price of others, or the budget would've ended up closer to 50% or more over had we used her photographer suggestions). There were a handful of vendors she had used before (mostly catering) but it seemed like the others were basically googled. The DJ was awful and more or less forgot what songs to play when (not her fault, but she's the one that found them). All vendors she suggested were in the same ballpark price, so it was really difficult to try and control the budget. I asked her to start giving a "cheap, on budget, and over budget" option for each item...but that was too little too late. She did not deliver on a number of things. One example I recall was when it came time to deliver rose petals, candles, and other items to the house for after the wedding. She "had a panic attack" and couldn't bring herself to drive down the windy road to the house. Instead she grabbed me on my way out of the reception (before the sparkler's and such) and told me she put all of that in the car that was driving us to the house and suggested "I run in and sprinkle some rose petals while she gets out of her dress." Other than that and the budget, there were no absolute disasters. She did not communicate with the wedding party hardly at all. The night went fine overall, as my wife and I are pretty laid back people and just wanted to have a fun night. We noticed everything, but decided we'd rather enjoy the night. An uptight couple or ones that wanted everything perfect would've been very upset. If you're the type that is going to plan your wedding yourself but need someone the day of or a buddy to bounce ideas off of, then maybe this isn't a bad move. But if you actually need a "wedding planner" then I'd run the other way. I've been in wedding parties where the planner was the person that would set everyone straight so the bride and groom didn't have to, and instead focused on the day...I had to tell her to make the ushers hurry up and seat the guests as they arrived to the church as I didn't want to have to be stern with my friends and she didn't have the focus or prioritizing abilities to do so. In summary, we had a great wedding because of us and not because of the person we paid to plan it. Unfortunately we ended up way over budget and did most things on our own. Could've saved the $5k we paid her and had a similar outcome.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Casey Chambers. Hiring her as our day-of coordinator was…read moreone of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Casey was incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and organized. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she helped me think through so many details I never would have considered on my own, which gave me so much confidence going into the day. On the wedding day itself, Casey was so collected and completely in control. Because of her, I truly did not worry about a single thing. Even when it started to rain before the ceremony, she made sure the rain plan was executed perfectly. She handled everything seamlessly from start to finish, including setup, coordinating vendors, keeping the timeline on track, teardown, and packing everything up at the end of the night. I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment knowing that everything was taken care of. I really felt like I just showed up that morning and left that night without fully knowing everything that went into making our day so beautiful and that's a testament to how incredible Casey is. If you're looking for someone who is dependable, proactive, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect, look no further because Casey is it. I would recommend her a thousand times over to any couple!!

A couple months before the wedding I was sent a form to complete (that I had to reach out to get) about which specific songs I wanted played during each part of the ceremony. I sent it back and everything seemed like it was fine. The day of the wedding rolls around, and I can't really speak to the quality of the songs since I didn't hear anything except the song I was to walk down to. Which, let me preface this- I chose this specific song because my grandfather used to sing it to my grandmother who recently passed away. I get up there and hear that my song is already ending! They had switched my song with the wedding party's! I was pretty flustered and before I could ask them to just start again I had been shoved down the aisle by my wedding planner (whole other story). Anyway the wedding was still amazing and I get to spend my life with my best friend BUT wanted to warn anyone else if they choose to use Will make sure you are VERY thorough.
