They really love what they do and it shows with their attention to detail and amazing customer service. Grace from Engaging Affairs recently went above and beyond to help with a sticky situation we were having. She knows how to step in and make things happen.

I would highly recommend day of and full planning services to any bride seeking some assistance for her most important day.

My husband proposed in April of 2015 and we planned to be married 5 months later, in September of…read more2015. I knew with this short time frame, we needed a planner! I decided to check with my dear friend Google to see if he knew of a good wedding planner. I found 3 or 4 options and sent out an email to all, a couple responses consisted of the generic automated kick back email. I was pleasantly surprised when I listened to my first (of many) voicemails from Grace. She sounded so sweet, organized, and ready to get started. It was this initial contact that really made me feel like this company cared to make a good first impression and we set up the interview. Our first meeting with Grace was wonderful, she left us feeling confident that we could really plan and execute the wedding we wanted within our short time frame. From that day on, Grace worked diligently. She quickly gained an understanding of our likes and dislikes, which is so important when using a planner. She was able to weed out and narrow down my options without me always being there to offer input. I spoke with Grace on a daily basis, she was always updating, asking questions, or simply wishing me a good day! She set up all of the meetings, always arriving early to ensure the vendors were prepared. Grace has incredible taste and always provided her feedback in regards to staying with the style/decor I wanted. Needless to say, sometimes she knew what I wanted better than I did! She really did handle it all, leaving the fun parts for Vince and I to enjoy. Grace has incredible organizational skills, leaving no loose ends. She worked very hard to work around our busy schedule, often catching up with me via email late at night. I was always so impressed that she was working on our wedding at 11 o' clock at night! She also worked very closely with our venue as well as the vendors, ensuring they had all of their ducks in a row for the big day. She made several visits to the church as well as reception venue without me, making sure everything was ready to run smoothly for our day. The day of the reception was PERFECT! While I am sure there were a few hiccups, Grace ensured our day was stress free. It truly could not have gone better. My husband and I really appreciated the way Grace put out fires and solved problems without involving us, always mentioning the issues that occurred a few weeks later! Grace is not only an incredible planner, she is kind, genuine, and honest. She quickly became a dear friend, a few tears were definitely shed at the end of the wedding day. Your wedding day is such a special and intimate moment, it was ideal having someone that you feel close with running the show. She helped me put on my vail, drove our golf cart around the reception, and helped me take off my very complicated dress at the end of the night. We often joked that it was our wedding day I am happy to say that not only did my husband and I hit the lottery with our wedding planner, we gained a lifetime friend as well. Many thanks to Engaging Affairs & Grace!! Vincent and Cassie

Desiree is such a professional with so much knowledge about weddings and vendor details and protocol. She helped to organize our day and the details of the day in a way that we could never have done on our own. I literally had no worries on my wedding day (and that is a great feat since I am such a type A and hands-on person), because I had such confidence in Desiree executing our wedding vision. From my initial call with Mimi all the way through the day of coordination by Desiree and Kelly, it was a true pleasure working with this team and I am grateful I had them to guide me during the wedding planning process and day of execution. I would recommend this company three times over. If you are hesitating with the idea of hiring a day of coordinator, just DO IT. It is well worth the money (and A Bride's BFF is actually very affordable and reasonably-priced for the area). This team is so knowledgeable , professional, and experienced, and they will guide you and help you achieve your wedding day vision. Thank you Desiree, Kelly, and Mimi for everything you did for Doug and I--we appreciate you more than I can ever express in words!

My wife spent countless hours making all the decorations for the wedding from name cards, garlands, programs, centerpieces, table cards etc pretty much everything was DIY! Mimi did a fantastic job following our vision for decorating our venue and was able to also coordinate with all the other vendors to ensure they came on time, were set up properly and received the bonus checks at the end of the night. Everything in our wedding went smoothly because of Mimi and her crew. I would say her services are a necessity for any DIY wedding because she will be able to take one less thing off your plate on the Day of your wedding!

She also worked with the hotel to flesh out and finalize the BEO and served as our advocate throughout the experience. Having someone who can "talk shop" with the hotel coordinator was really valuable to us. From set up to tear down, Amaia worked with our vendors and the hotel to make sure every detail was executed perfectly.

She also went above and beyond in terms of prepping things like creative menus, cute ways to display seating charts, etc. She's also personal and supportive and lends an air of "this is under control" to the planning and event.

We ended up only delaying the ceremony by 10 or 15 minutes. I definitely recommend Tara and Emerald Engagements!

Joanne has been present, responsive, and was always ready to answer our questions. We had a rehearsal the day before, she had so many great tips on how to walk, positioning that it made the day of so easy. So glad she made us walk through or we would have been lost! She made an amazing timeline and kept us to it so well! We even had last minute changes, which she was very flexible and helped us make it work (we had the time surprisingly!). We then had Liz and Margaret at the reception (at a different location) to help. They were TERRIFIC. They helped take the décor from the ceremony and placed it throughout the reception. They made sure everything was used and kept us organized! They stay a little bit passed the end to help us clean and collect the decor and even packed up the car for us! Both were super helpful and just a delight to have with us on the day (I just LOVE their energy, when I was fading towards the end of the night, I saw their joy and it just boosted my energy to make it til the end!)! There was some confusion with the decor, but once we explained, they were like OK ON IT. We lost the bride and groom for a little bit throughout the night, but they kept their cool, and made sure we got right back on track to stay on our timeline. Both of them were also super flexible and helpful, always checked up on the bridal party and the stars of the night. I really appreciated both of their help. In my eyes, they really helped keep the night going smoothly! Rockstars!!!

The morning of our wedding, my now husband, forgot to pick up part of our order from a vendor and Joanne noticed the mishap, and ran out herself to pickup the left behind item. Joanne absolutely goes above and beyond, which was noticed by all of our guests, as they're still sending messages of how on it she was, how hard she was working, and how she kept to the timeline but was flexible when needed. We would choose to work with Joanne over and over again!
