Even though she was a month - of coordinator, she made sure that leading up to that month we had any pressing questions answered. She has such an easy going way about doing the wedding coordination that keeps everyone at ease and stress free. She had her assistant Sammy with her for the wedding day and both of them were so helpful with making sure the event went smoothly. We are a modern couple and wanted a modern/ non denominational (star wars, metallica and men in heels hah )wedding and they made us feel so comfortable with keeping things simple and fun. She created an amazingly organized system so that all the vendors knew right where to be and all questions were answered. Thanks so much Jessica and Sammy for making our big day so awesome!!

Dawn Tibbles, our incredible wedding planner!!!! Absolutely fantastic!!!…read more https://simplyirresistibble.com/ I am grateful I found her! Words cannot adequately describe all of her efforts. From keeping all of us all organized and on task, including our vendors! All the months with zoom calls, task assignments for us, making great suggestions, to orchestrating the vendors and the event, to her personal supervision of every detail and aspect. Culminating in an amazing fairytale wedding and reception that all went perfectly. Thank you Dawn so much for holding our hands and guiding all of us throughout the months prior to wedding day. YOU ARE THE BEST WEDDING PLANNER EVER!!

Where do I even begin? Ria made our wedding the fairytale that it was. I am someone who stresses…read moreabout the smallest details and leading up to the wedding she made sure to take all that stress off my shoulders. The day of the wedding, all I did was enjoy myself - the same goes for my family. We did not have a single worry. She has an amazing relationship with so many vendors and knew pretty much everyone we wanted to work with so it made the process so much smoother. Not to mention, she has the cultural competence we needed and recommended appropriate vendors to fit each of our traditions which was one of our worries as an interracial couple. Her team took care of everything to the point where even my 6 ft long veil looked perfect throughout the night despite all the dancing and fun. I went up for an outfit change and she hand delivered our dinner to the room and made sure to check up on us several times in addition to her team making sure the event was running smoothly. Ria even went out of her way to bring her own decor to make our wedding table look perfect. From how our entrances were coordinated to every other detail in the night, our wedding wouldn't have been perfect without her. She is highly organized and ensured everything is done and ready at the right time. I highly recommend Ria Events and Design if you want a perfect wedding.

I would give Ria and her team 10 stars if that was an option. We had our wedding in Southern…read moreCalifornia and Ria not only took care of every detail and coordinated with every vendor but she did it from 3 timezones away. Destination weddings aren't easy but she handled all the curve balls (most of which she had taken care of before I even realized) with ease and confidence. Ria has has an incredible eye for event flow and designed a beautiful reception layout that the venue still uses for other weddings to this day. Aside from her obvious talent, she is the sweetest person to know and work with which is so important when trusting someone with your Wedding Day. Forever thankful for Ria and all her love and work in making our wedding the wedding of our dreams.

Sumeta is a true professional who made our wedding planning experience not only seamless but truly…read moreenjoyable. Her incredible attention to detail and commitment to excellence ensured every step was perfectly aligned with our vision for the big day. Out of all the planners we spoke with, Sumeta and the team at One H'ART were in a league of their own--creative, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our day extraordinary. If you're looking for a planner who will bring originality, expertise, and peace of mind to your wedding, look no further than One H'ART. They are simply the best!

Fair warning - this may be very long, but we just have so many wonderful things to share about our…read moreexperience working with Sumeta! HOW WE CONNECTED:We found Sumeta online while just browsing for full service wedding planners in the Southeast region. We reached out to her via her website and heard back very quickly! We were able to set up a consultation call to essentially go over what we are looking for and ensure we could be the right fit for each other. From the first call, Sumeta was so kind and sincere! It was clear she absolutely loves what she does and genuinely wants to celebrate your love and marriage. She was very inquisitive - she, of course, asked the basic questions about our wedding events and what services we were looking for - but she was the only planner who asked us some unexpected out-of-the-box questions, like what does celebrating love look like to us, what kind of experience did we want to have, what kind of experience did we want our guests to have, and how we want to tell/share our love story through our wedding. It wasn't just all business - she was genuinely most interested in us as a couple. We really appreciated her questions and just had a really good gut feeling upon ending our call. All I can say is always trust your instinct. We are so glad we did because this was the beginning of the best decision we made! After reviewing the different packages she offers, we decided to book Sumeta as our wedding planner for her full service package!  PLANNING PHASE:We started on a completely blank page -  we had no idea where we wanted it or which vendors we wanted to book, so we wanted to go the full service package route as we trusted that Sumeta would have the best contacts and be able to get us the best deals throughout the process. What we really appreciated the most during this phase was that we didn't just jump right into vendors and venue. Sumeta has a process. She wanted us to "dream" and really think about what was important to us. It was really fun to challenge ourselves to use our imagination and try to put into words what we visioned. She really wanted to understand where our hearts were before showing us any venues or introducing us to other vendors. She really did it all for us - venue, catering, photography, videography, decor, entertainment, photobooth, singer, etc - every single vendor we worked with we found through Sumeta. She would lead all calls and meetings, review contracts, and negotiate. We would simply explain what we were looking for and trusted her to bring us the best of the best, and she delivered with every single person we worked with.  WEDDING WEEK:Sumeta created the entire timeline for our wedding week. She worked with all of our vendors to share timings and ensure they knew where to be each day. She even met with all of our immediate family members to bring everyone on the same page of what to expect as well as share our expectations of them regarding any responsibilities and timeliness. Side note - she is awesome with family members and they all loved and respected her! During the wedding week, she is mainly behind the scenes ensuring everything is running smoothly. It's crazy how many hats she wears, but she wears them well! Despite everything that is going on, she would always make time to come see me during hair and makeup, she would always make sure to greet us before any of our entrances, she would check in with us throughout the event to make sure we were eating or that we always had a cocktail in hand, and she would even be there at the end of every event to make sure we were happy with everything. She even came to join us on the dance floor a few times, and it was soo special to us! I really don't know how she always found the time and energy to do all of it - seriously, she's superhuman. We always felt cared for! She also brought two additional assistants with her for the weekend, Alyssa and Sydney, and they were a true reflection of her! She really only works with the best people, and we always felt like we could just trust her entire team and enjoy our wedding weekend, as it always should be for every couple out there! POST WEDDING:Sumeta continued to work with us after the wedding to ensure all of our contracts and payments were closed out. She even continued to support us months later with photography and videography deliverables. She had always said that her role continues even after the wedding weekend. She believes in supporting her couples until they truly have closed out everything and have received all their deliverables.  Sumeta is simply the best! The work that she does is truly her calling. She genuinely believes in celebrating love and she will make the planning process actually fun. So many couples talk about how they hated the planning process, but we simply cannot relate - we loved planning with Sumeta and would recommend her every. single. time.

Courtney is the ultimate professional. She is knowledgeable, honest, and an absolute pleasure to…read morework with. I am so grateful that I chose her as both my wedding coordinator and florist. My husband and I were married at the DeKalb County Historic Courthouse, and Courtney was on their list of preferred coordinators and florists. While doing my research, her excellent reviews and transparent pricing immediately stood out. From the very beginning, I felt confident that she truly understood my vision--and she brought it to life beautifully. One thing I truly appreciated about working with Courtney is that she does not nickel and dime you. She was always upfront about costs and actively looked for ways to save us money without sacrificing quality or style. She offered thoughtful suggestions and alternatives that stayed within our budget, which made the entire planning process feel honest, supportive, and stress-free. Courtney and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless and perfect. Everything was handled with such care and professionalism, and our wedding day was truly everything we hoped for. I am so thankful for Courtney and her amazing team. I would recommend Courtney again and again without hesitation!

Hiring Peachy Keen was the best decision we made when we decided to get married…read more Don't believe the rumors, wedding planning can be an absolute BLAST, stress-free and an enjoyable experience but only if you hire Peachy Keen. We hired Courtney as our partial planner, florist and day-of coordinator and we owe so much of our perfect wedding day to her. I do plenty of event planning for clients in my own job so I did EXTENSIVE research on every planner in the area and from the very first phone call, I immediately knew my partner and I were in the best hands. Planning: Courtney was on every single detail and helped us to design a venue where we needed to bring in all of our own vendors. She was responsive, flexible, attentive and has excellent contacts with the best vendors when we needed recommendations. She provided honest feedback and helped us to stay within our budget which we so greatly appreciated. When we shared some of our more creative ideas and non-conventional ways to have our day, Courtney didn't bat an eye and immediately went into figuring out how we'd get it done. For all of her services, her pricing structure is extremely competitive. I was so particular about certain details and in meetings, I'd mention something once and the next moment, Courtney had it in our file. Florals: My jaw literally dropped when I first walked into my venue on the big day. I had given her my Pinterest board for some initial ideas and she HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK. I cried when my bouquet was handed to me, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. From our chuppah, aisle, bridesmaid bouquets, centerpieces and all the small details, Courtney and her team nailed it and are insanely talented. Day-Of Coordinating: Courtney will know what you need even before you know you want it. She thought of EVERYTHING and my husband and I felt so cared for and looked after. She bustled my dress, she had food waiting for us after the ceremony in a private room, she showed me how to hold my bouquet, she timed everything perfectly, and so much more. From her extensive experience with weddings, she anticipated everything I or our bridal parties could ever need. I didn't lift a finger on my day. Her calm, fun and lovely personality was just a joy to have around. This review alone could never do her and her work justice. She is truly passionate and genuinely loves what she does and it is so apparent in her work. Courtney went ABOVE AND BEYOND and did it all with a smile and wonderful energy. We can't stop getting compliments from all of our guests on what a fantastic job she did with our wedding day. Highly, highly recommend.

As a current bride-to-be, I'm one of those seemingly rare girls who never daydreamed about my…read morewedding. Needless to say, upon getting engaged I was lost and clueless on how to plan a wedding. Sure, I'd been to a few but this was going to be My Day, not my friends' days. I had to find guidance. Enter The Not Wedding, a yearly event where brides and their moms/fiances/bridesmaids/family/etc pay money to become guests of a "wedding" that is put on by different vendors every year. The vendors treat this as a real wedding so you can see how they perform under pressure to please an extremely large crowd. I was very impressed. All three photography companies did an excellent job, all the event planners and decorators and bands and dress designers did amazingly incredible work. The best part about it? It features local folks like you and me. Second best part? If you go with many of these vendors, you'll know you're getting a customized wedding just for you. No cookie cutter weddings here! We found our caterer through this event, discovered a cake we weren't too fond of, found a vintage decorator to work with, and even reconnected with an old friend from long ago only to discover we a) live 5 minutes apart, b) we are getting married at the same location, and c) I really needed to contact her wedding coordinator and now she's also my coordinator. Lots of things that normally you'd pay money for tastings and trials but here was everyone's work out for all to see and it was only $35 a person. I saw bridal shows asking for more money and those are just places where run of the mill vendors from all over the place harass you into buying things. Give this a whirl if you want something fresh, fun, and YOU. If you have an extra long engagement, go twice! Vendors change out yearly and again, they are all local. Best way to get ideas is to see it all in action, hands down. They're now expanding to San Diego and Orlando this year, which is great news for brides in those locations!

Elizabeth was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make our…read morewedding everything we dreamed of--and more. She was professional, organized, creative, and always one step ahead. Thanks to her attention to detail and calm, confident presence, our day ran perfectly.

After reading positive reviews of EKS Weddings and Events, we scheduled a meeting with owner and…read morelead planner Elizabeth Klespies to talk about our 50th anniversary celebration. Within the first 15 minutes, we knew our event would be in talented, capable hands. She came armed with her color-coded planner and a zipper pouch of pens and pencils. Her attention was riveted on our every response to her probing questions regarding what we wanted our event to be. Clearly she was extremely organized and obviously she cared. We couldn't sign the contract fast enough, so no one else could book her for our date. It was one of the best decisions we've ever made. We cannot say enough about the magic Elizabeth performed to make our celebration, in the words of many of our guests, "the best event I've ever attended." Her monthly reminder lists were invaluable in keeping us on track. She was absolutely unflappable and completely calm, even when we made major changes, like the time of the event and the venue. She just congenially accommodated our requests and "fixed" everything we had disrupted. She truly wanted this to be our dream event. Some of the best elements of the celebration would not have been possible without Elizabeth's guidance and assistance. She has such an extensive knowledge of talent in the Atlanta area that when we asked at a fairly late date to have a caricaturist and a living statue, she simply made it happen. She was also an effective advocate for us in persuading the venue to ease some of their policies to permit one of our special requests. On the day of our main event, Elizabeth and her assistant Kat absolutely transformed the blank slate of the ballroom into an exquisite event space in what seemed a very short time. Then we were able to see how all the choices and decisions she helped us make over the previous months came together with her talent to create exactly the look we had wanted. The entire evening went off flawlessly thanks to Elizabeth's talent and skills. At the end of the event, while we were saying goodbye to our guests, Elizabeth and Kat distributed centerpieces to our delighted guests, rounded up all the items that were rented, and packed up our personal items. By the time we thought to inquire about our things, they had been safely stored in our hotel room. If you would like to hire a planner who will help you bring your vision to life and give you peace of mind to enjoy your special day while she takes care of the details, you cannot make a better choice than Elizabeth Klespies and EKS.

Pollyana was our day of coordinator and we knew she was the right person for the job right at our…read morefirst meeting. Prior the wedding, Pollyana made herself available every single time I had questions and when I need some guidance. She made recommendations, suggestions and kept me calm during the whole planning process. She was always available via email, text or phone and I think that is very important, specially if you are planning a wedding alone like I was. Her "customer service" skills are excellent. Thanks to Pollyana our wedding planning was such a smooth process and exactly like we dreamed. During our wedding, Pollyana didn't just take care of the ceremony and reception, but she made both of our families to feel welcome and also understood their needs, as most of our family was coming from overseas and barely spook any English. She was so attentive to us and our families the day since our day began throughout the end of the party and if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have kept my nerves together I would probably have passed out of dehydration hahaha Seriously, she even made sure that I drink enough water. If you are looking for someone that truly understands and respects your needs, I highly recommend Pollyana. I am pretty sure she will make your day so special as much she did for ours. She will go above and beyond to help you make your dream wedding a reality! Obrigada por tudo!
