Words cannot express how my wife and I feel about our wedding planner, Jordan Xu, of Emily Jordan…read moreEvents (formerly Jordan Flowers of Wedding Belles). She is the best. We were truly lucky to have found her. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, we were very appreciative and grateful to have Jordan by our side. We relied on her heavily. Her guidance and support made everything about our wedding so much easier. We trusted her fully. We can't recommend Jordan and her team enough. Our wedding was April 15, 2022 at the Atlanta History Center. We first started working with Jordan in July 2018. Yes, we had been planning our wedding for about 3 years 9 months. No, we did not plan it that way. Our original wedding date was May 30, 2020. My wife and I had planned for a roughly two-year engagement and wedding planning period. Then of course, COVID happened. Our wedding was postponed twice: First, to May 7, 2021. Then, to April 15, 2022. Jordan was with us and supported us every step of the way. We went from planning a pre-COVID wedding to a post-COVID wedding. We went from in-person planning sessions to virtual planning sessions. We went from "normal" tastings to masked and socially-distant tastings. (BTW, the tastings - both for the food at the reception and for our wedding cake - were some of my favorite parts of the planning process.) We found Jordan after doing internet searches for Atlanta wedding planners. Jordan was one of multiple planners we contacted. One of the planners we spoke to wasn't a good fit. She recommended Jordan to us. Also, an Atlanta wedding photographer I know put in a good word about Jordan. After meeting with Jordan, my wife and I agreed, Jordan was an excellent fit. We immediately felt comfortable and jived with her. Coincidentally, Jordan and my wife went to the same college for undergrad (Emory) and Jordan and I are from the same part of North Carolina (Piedmont Triad). We've gotten along with Jordan so well that we consider her and her husband our friends. They are just really good people. Jordan is very professional and organized. With her years of experience in the wedding industry, particularly in Atlanta and with our venue and vendors, I knew we were in great hands. In general, my wife was more involved in the planning process with Jordan - she was more particular about certain details than I was. However, I think I was involved at an "above-average" level for a groom. I attended every meeting, but admittedly, tried to stay as hands-off as possible. Jordan was invaluable at securing appointments with the vendors that made the most sense to us based on our budget and preferences. Here were our vendors: * Venue: Swan House, Atlanta History Center * Florist: Unique Floral Expressions * Caterer: Affairs to Remember * Cake: Confection Perfection * DJ and MC: Andy of EuroAndy Events * Ceremony Music: Piedmont Strings * Furniture: EventWorks * Wedding Car: Ramblin' Reck from the Ramblin' Reck Club * Photographer: Leigh Wolfe Photography * Videographer: WedFlix * Bride's Wedding Dress: Sweet Elegance and Gizzelle James Couturiere * Bride and Bridesmaids Hair and Makeup: Scoobie West & Company * Bridesmaids Dresses: Bella Bridesmaids * Groom's Tux: TRIO Custom Clothiers * Groomsmen and Bridesman Tuxes: The Black Tux * Hotel: InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta * Trolley: Georgia Trolley Services * Dance Lessons: Fred Astaire Dance Studio (Durham, NC) * Planning Platform: Aisle Planner * Website, Registry, RSVPs: Zola * Paper Save the Dates and Invitations: Minted * Digital Save the Dates and Address Collection: Paperless Post Going through two years of postponements, we did have a couple vendors change due to life circumstances: (1) Our cake vendor changed from Lush Cakery to Confection Perfection. (2) Our dance studio changed from Daza Dance to Fred Astaire. A few of the vendors, we found ourselves. For example, I already had an existing relationship with TRIO, so I got them to do my custom tux. My wife and I already had our minds set on a Swan House wedding. Jordan made it happen. She and her team, along with many of the vendors we chose, have a lot of experience working together *and* working at the Atlanta History Center. So, for the most part, everything was quite easy. I think the hard part, at least for me as the groom, was decision-making on certain details (e.g. menu) and getting our guest list in order. In addition to securing the vendors that fit us best, Jordan and her team (including Sydney Woods and Gerard Wright) took care of so many details, I can't even begin to tell you; from reviewing and coordinating contracts and payments to little things on our wedding day, such as getting lip balm for my lips that were chapped from so much kissing. Jordan is a consummate professional. Simply put, Jordan exceeded our expectations and executed the wedding of our dreams. Check out our wedding trailer to see exactly what I mean: https://bit.ly/3laAY1h. Thank you, Jordan!

I cannot say enough good things about Wedding Belles. During wedding planning, I had asked my…read moregirlfriends who had recently gotten married themselves for tips and advice on what services they thought were helpful. The unanimous response was "hire a day-of coordinator." My husband and I had already done a lot of the planning so we didn't need a wedding planner but the idea of someone else handling all of the details in the days leading up to and on the day of the wedding sounded like a great idea. Hiring Jordan and Kristen was one of the best decisions we made and some of the best money we spent on the wedding. They were with me all day as I was getting ready, ran interference on the couple of inevitable hiccups that happened with guests and wedding participants, ironed my dress one more time, made sure we ate, and even played chauffeur since the church and reception venue were so close that we hadn't hired outside transportation. Above all, these ladies were calm and professional throughout the entire event. I can't imagine a better team to hire to help with your wedding.

Jason's floral arrangements were incredible, literally words can not describe how amazing they turned out for our center pieces and personal flowers. Working with them was easy and convenient as they handled EVERYTHING. The team created a special vision board for me and always asked my opinion, so I felt very involved as a bride. However, they also did everything so perfectly I felt like everything was taken care of. I was kept in the loop every step of the way, but also was so comforted in the way they took care of everything because they are such professionals. No need looking anywhere else - say YES to YES and the entire incredible team!!!

The best decision we made in the planning of my daughter's wedding was bringing on Wendy and her…read moreteam as the "Day Of" wedding planners. It's kind of a misleading name because Wendy and Amber met with us a couple times before the wedding weekend, and were always available via phone or text for questions. They scheduled out everything and made sure we had everything we needed. Wendy ran the rehearsal the day before and gave very clear directions and assured everyone knew where they were supposed to be, at what time. On the day of the wedding, Amber and Alyssa were the backbone of it all!! Instead of me running around, dealing with vendors, directing the wedding party, helping the guys with their boutonnières and bustling my daughter's wedding dress.. they did it all!! They were amazing! Always easy to find and no hesitation to help us solve any problems. The wedding was held at our house, so there were multiple locations on our property where things were happening, but they were like ninjas and always seemed to be exactly where they were needed! They even helped clean up at the end of the night and made sure all of the vendors were taken care of!! I can't recommend this service enough!! Thank you Wendy, Amber, and Alyssa!!

One of the biggest things was my oldest's high school graduation party. All I knew is that I wanted to have this at our house and a 150+ people were coming.

After our first meeting, I had a huge weight off my shoulders knowing we had a plan and things were already set in place. The setting up of the graduation party was very easy and not stressful at all. Because of Wendy and Wendy's Wedding & Events we were able to sit back, relax and enjoy the graduation party ourselves. Wendy was there the whole time to make sure everything went smoothly. Thank you Wendy for making it where Richard and I could relax, enjoy and most of all, this was a day Victoria will never forget. I will be using Wendy and Wendy's Wedding & Events for all our future events.

I had…read morea great experience with The Wedding Box and would highly recommend them to anyone that is planning a wedding. I was pretty overwhelmed trying to organize a wedding in Atlanta where there are a million vendors for everything. The Wedding Box had a very clear understanding of my vision and budget. Stefanie would only refer vendors to me that she knew I would like and could afford but was also extremely willing to work with anyone that I had found on my own. This includes the awful, heinous, mean (think of every bad word you can come up with) woman at my venue that almost put me in tears (btw, I am NOT a crier). In addition, she would negotiate when necessary, which was essential to me because I am really not good at it. The day of the wedding certainly would have been a disaster without my awesome planner. The Wedding Box team took care of every detail while I drank champagne and got ready with my girlfriends. I arrived at the venue and was able to enjoy my day completely stress free. My mother even commented that she and my father were skeptical when I hired a planner but after seeing what an amazing job they did, realized The Wedding Box was worth every penny!

We hired the Wedding Box as a "day of" planner, which means that they provide their services for the rehearsal and the wedding. They learned the names of all the wedding party and arranged for all the vendors to be on time. They handled all the last minute glitches that always show up, and treated us all like old friends. My wife and I were able to enjoy our daughter's wedding as if we were guests rather than hosts. Stephanie's services were our wedding gift to our daughter, and it was the best money we spent!

EventWorks Atlanta, formerly Peachtree Tents & Events, provided furniture for both our wedding…read moreceremony and our wedding reception at the Atlanta History Center. We were very happy with everything EventWorks provided so I'm giving EventWorks five stars. For our outdoor ceremony at the Swan House, we rented 130 folding chairs, "Garden Fruitwood Padded," at $3.75 each. For our indoor reception at the Grand Overlook Ballroom, we rented four 8x48 folding tables at $17.50 each, one "Antoinette Settee" (sofa) at $250, and two "Sophie End Tables" at $45 each. On top of the furniture rental costs, there were charges for labor - both a fixed $150 fee and per-chair and per-table setup and breakdown fees - a $125 delivery charge, and a $200 after-hours pickup fee (our reception ended at 11pm). After an $80.87 Damage Waiver and Fulton County taxes, I was charged $1,780.43. Like many wedding vendors, EventWorks charges an additional fee if you pay by credit card. Their fee was 3%. I paid via ACH to avoid the fee and save money. EventWorks was recommended to us by our wedding planner, Jordan Xu of Emily Jordan Events: https://www.yelp.com/biz/emily-jordan-events-atlanta. I highly recommend Emily Jordan Events. Jordan worked directly with EventWorks on our behalf. The salesperson on our contract was Caroline Buffkin. We knew EventWorks would be good because Jordan recommended them. Check out the pictures I uploaded to EventWorks Atlanta's Yelp page to see the furniture we rented. It was nice. It met our expectations. The furniture was up to our venue's standards and fit our theme (black tie, classic, timeless). The flowers, candles, linens, and estate table design were done/provided by Unique Floral Expressions: https://www.yelp.com/biz/unique-floral-expressions-atlanta. We wanted a rug to go along with our sofa and end tables, but EventWorks didn't rent any rugs. Our planner found a rug and later, pillows too, from La Petite Picnic Atlanta: https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-petite-picnic-atlanta. Along with Emily Jordan Events, I also highly recommend Unique Floral Expressions and La Petite Picnic Atl. My wife says EventWorks has a good selection. Note: Our contract was with EventWorks, but our payment authorization form was by and our payment was to Peachtree Tents & Events, so I think they were still going through some business transitions earlier this year (2022).

Before she would even send me a tentative plan with pricing, I paid $750 and was told this would be applied to the final total. The tentative plan was almost none of what I requested and the pricing was $4000-7000 OVER my max budget. I had been going through major health issues which Tammie was aware of; and that's why I even considered not handling the event myself. Because most of what I requested at our first meeting was absent from the plan and pricing, I asked for a refund of MY $750. This was her RIDICULOUS Response: I'm so sorry we cannot refund your non-refundable deposit as we spent hours putting together your proposal and then hours letting all of our vendors go. How in the world could a company spend hours cancelling vendors that I never even approved. I didn't give her a go ahead for ANYTHING. I cancelled the contract within 48 hours of receiving Tammie's ridiculous proposal. She did offer to provide a STRIPPED DOWN VERSION OF THE EVENT.

Let's just say I can recommend this venue wholeheartedly. :)
