Debbie is simply the best. You should contact her now! :) If I could give Debbie 10 stars, I would…read more She truly made the wedding planning process and wedding day so much better for my groom, myself and our families in every way. To start with: I was hooked on Debbie during our first conversations. Unlike other wedding planners I spoke with, she did not immediately push me on her packages and get me to sign a contract. Instead she spent two hours on the phone with me listening to our day and the issues we had run into so far planning. She immediately jumped in and worked with me trying to find solutions to these initial problems. I actually felt like she cared about our day and was going to work hard to make it perfect. That's when we chose her and over the year we planned together, we never regretted the decision. My husband and I had a complicated wedding day. We had 200 guests and had two ceremonies (Hindu and Christian) at two locations with a luncheon and evening reception. All in one day! It was logistically very complicated. In addition, Debbie had never planned an Indian wedding (which she was up front about during our initial conversations). While we definitely needed to both do our homework throughout the year, Debbie did an amazing job all year researching Hindu traditions and actually coming to us with ideas for vendors. She is unbelievably organized and meticulous which is definitely why our crazy day went so perfectly. We weren't sure if we could truly pull off our tight timeframe for the day but we did almost to the minute! Our guests definitely noticed how smooth the whole day was and appreciated it! We have received so many compliments about our wedding day from both of our families and friends. We were able to honor both sides and traditions and make the long day fun for them. Much of this success is due to Debbie. Debbie is also just truly a pleasure to work with. Her husband, Mike, and her are just "good people" that make it fun to spend hours throughout the year on the phone discussing what can be mundane details of a wedding day, checking out vendors, etc. She led us repeatedly to vendors that were similar - she tried to use smaller and locally owned vendors when possible. We were so happy with everyone she introduced us to and loved supporting local. One of the most telling signs of what Debbie meant to me is probably how I felt that week before the wedding. While I had some stress with our visitors and some private events we were hosting during the week with family and friends, I had NO stress about the wedding day itself. I had total faith that Debbie and her team would be on top of all the details. When my mom expressed a worry about how she'd know when this or that was happening on the day, I said "don't worry! listen to Debbie!" It's wonderful to NOT focus on all those details and last minute challenges of wedding planning, but rather to be able to focus on the excitement of marrying the love of your life and celebrating with family and friends. Debbie made that possible. Thank you, Debbie, for making our wedding day truly the best day ever!!

Working with Debbie at Your Perfect Event was an absolute dream. We were planning our wedding in…read moreMichigan, all the way from California. Debbie was the only vendor that I used who was able to work around the time difference and the whole planning process was seamless. We used Debbie for Day of Planning, as well as having her assist us with the rehearsal the night before. We had several phone calls in the months leading up to the event. It was so helpful that she always had a list of things that I needed to accomplish before our next call. I had so many other things going on it was difficult to stay on task. Debbie took the time to meet with me and my family during one trip to Michigan and was able to meet with me again when I returned three weeks before. She was so kind to all of my family members, after our first meeting they all commented on how organized she was. In the weeks leading up to the wedding Debbie offered her assistance with all the last minute details, she even offered to help me out if my family was starting to drive me nuts. Before the events she confirmed all vendor appointments and even worked out a few kinks we had in the scheduling. I was able to drop all of the little details for the wedding to her in advance so I would not have to worry about the little things like table numbers and seating charts. The day of our wedding Debbie and her team were so helpful, everything was seamless, she took charge of the ceremony, because the venue did not have an onsite coordinator. I did not have to worry about a thing. She even handled a little meltdown by my aunt. I do not think our wedding would have turned out so amazing without her. I would recommend her to everyone looking to have a day of coordinator. She will really put your mind at ease. You cannot put a price on the services she provides. It is worth every penny.

She met with…read moreus several times before our actual wedding day and was in constant communication through e-mail and phone. She had very helpful advice and was re-assuring and confident through the whole process for our wedding of over 250 guests. She and her assistant were with us through the whole wedding day experience and made sure everything went smoothly. She is definitely worth the money for peace of mind before and during our wedding day. Megan is also trustworthy and followed through with everything that she said. She is definitely highly recommended to anyone looking for a smooth wedding.

We planned a wedding in a little over 3 months, and began working with her 85 days out. She was incredibly responsive, even to my barrage of emails late at night! She was always kind, super comprehensive, and was a steady force throughout all the planning. She adapted to our changes in requests, even all my last minute ones the week of, and even one change the night before! Even with our quicker planning timeline, she stayed incredibly organized and on top of it all. She even helped consult us on some vendor advice, and took extra time out of her day to do so. Our family and friends LOVED her too! She was wonderful during our rehearsal and during the day of! Everyone said she was running the show amazingly, and handled various random issues that popped up, such as someone getting sick, so swiftly and smoothly that I didn't have a worry at all the whole day. She even made sure we had our custom cocktails and cocktail hour apps waiting for us at our sweetheart table since we didn't get a chance to have much during cocktail hour! Every time we reflect on the day, we always mention Samantha and how she was literally the lighthouse in a storm for us. We probably talked to Samantha the most out of anyone in our lives during those 85 days, and we seriously miss her! If we had to redo it all, we would literally plan around her availability to hire her. Her industry knowledge is incredible, and she has such an eye for design too. Samantha and her team made wedding planning so much more enjoyable! :)

It's been 3 weeks since we got married and I'm still getting so many compliments about Robbin! He…read morewas unbelievable. The number one thing I was looking for in an officiant was someone that could make it seem like they had known us for years. Someone that would take in all of the personal details about us and tell a story. He had people laughing, smiling, and crying throughout our ceremony - all for the right reasons! We also presented an odd request - to do a tequila shot during the ceremony! This is something that had a story behind it was very special to us. He absolutely nailed it and worked it into his speech so flawlessly so that it made it seem normal. We also had a unexpected event happen during our ceremony that he handled very well. He was professional and compassionate, he got so many compliments on how we acknowledged the incident, then proceeded without missing a beat. He was truly the prefect person for the job and I would recommend him every single time.

He claimed that he accidently double booked the date. This is weeks after his initial committment. When asked why the other wedding got preference he stated that it was because the other had couple paid. I found this disingenous because we had spoken about a deposit, etc when he initially committed. He should have just not committed. Bottom line is that we are now stuck without an officiant. I my opinion: No way to run a business. Suggest you look elsewhere.

Bride here! Hiring…read moreJessica's planning company was the most disappointing decision of our wedding. From the beginning, her attitude was condescending and dismissive, making what should have been an exciting process stressful and frustrating. She was juggling multiple jobs and even accepted another wedding on the same day as ours. Because of that, we did not receive the level of attention, support, or coordination we were promised and paid for. Several members of our bridal party were brought to tears by how she spoke to them. During the event, guests asked her for help finding their seats, and she replied that she "wasn't part of that process." Whether she was or not, I hired and paid for day-of coordination, which absolutely includes assisting guests and ensuring things run smoothly. Her lack of professionalism and care were evident throughout the entire experience. A planner's job is to reduce stress -- she did the opposite. Please think carefully before hiring this company. I wouldn't want another couple to go through what we did.

He first officiated at our…read moredaughter's wedding in Rochester, MI., five years ago and then at our son's wedding four years ago because we were all so pleased with his services. We had numerous compliments on both wedding ceremonies. An hour after I talked with him initially (because our children were out of state), he had e-mailed the general vows that he uses with the explanation that he is pleased to include any readings or ceremonies that the bride and groom desire. (Our children both chose a sand ceremony.) His paperwork included that he did not work with wedding coordinators (or aunts or others who try and direct the wedding ceremony). Our family had no problem with this. Both sets of the brides and grooms met with Rev. O'Grady prior to the wedding rehearsal to discuss the ceremonies and their preferences. He came to the wedding rehearsal totally prepared and his wife assisted him at both the rehearsal and ceremony by getting the wedding party lined up and started off on the correcct foot. She explained to the women how to hold the bouquets for pretty pictures and was wonderful. . Both Rev. O'Grady and his wife were extremely gracious and patient with everyone including the 3 little flower girls and ring bearer at our son's wedding. The reason that I came across this negative review was because I was googling his name to obtain his phone number .Our niece is interested in contacting him to officiate at her wedding and asked me for his phone number.

She's extremely helpful and very sweet. All of our Bridal Party loved him, too. They have been in weddings before, but said ours was very organized. He recommended having someone tape the ceremony, if nothing else, and I'm so glad we did. It's a fabulous video and an instant reminder of our beautiful day! It got a little windy the day of; he helped me when I got caught in my veil... I made light of it, and everyone laughed it off! DH and I both wrote a little commitment speech to each other (kind of like your own vows) and it was great. If you have the opportunity to do that, do it. I think that's what MADE our ceremony.

When we first got serious about actually taking the plunge and planning our wedding, it seemed like…read morean incredibly intimidating prospect. Having known others who did a lot of the legwork organizing their own weddings, we knew that a ton of work goes into working with vendors, setup on the day of, and more. Even worse, we barely knew all of the things that we needed to do to make a wedding happen! Thankfully, we decided to look for a wedding planner and came across Jill and Di's Brides. Jill made planning the wedding almost painless for us, and dare I say it, somewhat fun? We established a sort of flow where we would propose some ideas, Jill would do all of the actual hard work finding and phoning vendors, and then all we had to do was the fun part of making the choice at the end of the day. This was incredibly successful for us- Jill found us the perfect venue, great vendors, and helped us with all of the things we wouldn't have even thought about to make the wedding as wonderful as it was. And day of, we barely even had to think about any of the organization! We could just enjoy what we can only describe as a day we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Jill was a joy to work with, and we would highly recommend her to anyone trying to plan a wedding.

She is so much fun to work with, and knows so much about weddings in general, that she is not only an amazing photographer and artist, but also a fantastic resource! She took so many pictures and had so many amazing and creative ideas on the fly, as well as just being fun! After she packed up for the night, she joined us on the dance floor for a dance which was just so fun, too! We got our pictures less than a week after the wedding, which is an amazing turnaround, and they look wonderful! We also really liked that we own the photos, and can do whatever we want with them, just need to give Marci credit, which she totally deserves! We especially loved that we didn't just get photos of us and our party, but she got at least a couple pictures (and good ones) of every single guest. Marci is an amazing photographer and person and we are so happy to have had her there for our special day! She truly captured the spirit of the day, and we will have so many wonderful memories that we can look back on with joy for years to come because of her talent! Thanks so much for helping make our wedding memorable, Marci!
