Our wedding goals were drama-free and stress-free. We interviewed several wedding planners with this in mind and Stephanie was the ONLY one that gave us peace of mind due to both her demeanor and experience! She helped us plan a 3-day event, focusing on the wedding and reception itself.
We married in June 2023 but started planning in early 2022, so we had chosen the wedding venue and reception location. You may say, well what did Stephanie do? The answer is a whole hell of a lot, including letting us keep our sanity. We were initially just going to use the TheKnot and plan the wedding ourselves. We were quickly disabused of this notion when we sent quote requests to the top 3 vendors for photography and flowers and were quickly overwhelmed with the questions. Once we selected Stephanie and explained our "vision", she selected the top 1-2 vendors in each category, told them our vision and we just met with them for our comfort. Further, even though we had decided to pick folks for hair and make-up, our choices fell through and Stephanie was able to find awesome options.
Finally, Stephanie also understood the ins and outs of the special venue (the Butterfly Garden at the Houston Museum of Natural Science) and helped us navigate what we could and could not do. Additionally, the reception location was initially not going to provide a tasting due to our small party (~40 people), but Stephanie was able to wrangle one, which gave us a sense of comfort we otherwise would not have had. She also helped us with set-up and coordination for our welcome ("rehearsal") dinner, even though this was initially not in her remit.
During the wedding, she kept us on track and focused. It exceeded our goals of being drama-and-stress free and everyone had a fantastic time!
If you want to enjoy your wedding and have peace of mind, Stephanie is HIGHLY recommended! read more
