The first part of my review is based on experience as an attendee at an event that Hannah of Red…read moreLetter Events planned and coordinated! Ladies, Hannah's not limited to weddings, only! She does baby showers, and other events, too! This summer, my best friend's co-ed baby shower was put together by Hannah, and it was beautiful! Dealing with a hormonal soon-to-be mom isn't easy, and I have to say that Hannah definitely made my friend and her family feel so comfortable and stress-free throughout the entire process of planning and execution. Hannah went so far above and beyond for my friend, and for that, we are all thankful! By request, Hannah was present the day of, and she made sure everything went seamlessly. My friend wanted her baby shower to have a country vibe, and the location itself was just that! It was in a beautiful park-like setting that had the cutest garden with a farm of baby goats in the background. I just melt when I think back to it! The centerpieces on the tables were floral arrangements that were so beautiful and had some of the most fragrant roses I've ever smelled. Hannah's attention to detail is second to none. The photo area had balloons that spelled out "OH BABY" and they were attached to rustic watering cans that were filled with flowers that matched the centerpiece arrangements, and the refreshment area had drinks in matching rustic buckets and troughs. As for food, my friend decided to have a food and desert truck present, and Hannah coordinated their arrival and menu options. There were several games set up to keep the guests entertained, as well. There's so much more that I could add about the baby shower, but I'll just say that it was so great and such an amazing experience that I hired her to help me with the annual Christmas party I host in my home. Let me start by saying that I didn't expect for her to take on such a big task of helping me with a holiday, when I know she probably had her own holiday events going on, but she did! I gave her an idea of what I was looking to do, and she made it happen! She even took care of invitations for me! I don't have ample seating, so she made sure that we got enough tables in to accommodate the large number of guests that were attending. I mentioned to her that I absolutely loved the centerpieces from my friend's baby shower, and I was so excited when she told me that she'd make sure I would get centerpieces just as beautiful, and they were. Dark roses, green pines, burgundy lilies, and some smaller green and white flowers adorned the tables along with scattered ornaments. The place cards were the guests' names in script, die-cut from wood that the guests could take with them to use as home decor or a tree ornament. I thought it was such a great idea. Being that I was still behind on decorating for the holiday, she made sure that the house had fresh decorations. Garland adored the stair balusters and railing, a fresh wreath hung on the door, and giant red bows hung from each lantern at the garage. Also can't forget the mistletoe hanging from an archway inside! The house smelled like a winter cabin and felt like one, too! The only thing I told Hannah that I absolutely wanted was a Christmas ham, bundt cakes, and Christmas cookies. If it wasn't for her, that's probably all I would have had, but she made sure that I had full appetizer, dinner, and dessert options for the guests. I wish I could give a better visual of both events, but I'm one of those people who pays no mind to the phone when I'm with others. One day, I'll get better at remembering to take at least one photo for my reviews. All in all, as a guest to a Red Letter Event and as a client of Hannah's, I've had wonderful experiences. I will most certainly be using her services in the future.

You will not be disappointed.

I also tried to call several times within their stated hours, but there wasn't a voicemail attached to the number so I couldn't even leave a message. The lack of ANY communication is truly disappointing, considering I thought this place would've been an amazing place to have our wedding. All the positive reviews had my hopes high about this place, and I had my heart set...only to have to change plans because I couldn't even get a single callback. And maybe it worked out for the better since I don't think I'd have wanted to work with a venue that couldn't even take the time to respond or even properly setup their voicemail inbox.

They provided a questionnaire in the beginning of planning to get to know us and figure out what we wanted or what we were looking for. It was so helpful so put ideas to paper and write down our non-negotiables and most important factors in our wedding. They came back with a complete inspiration board that got us so excited! We started planning our big day in 2019 for a May 9, 2020 wedding. However, we ended up having to postpone our wedding in March 2020 due to COVID-19. They were so helpful in assisting with the postponement to September 2020 and getting all of our original vendors on board with the new date. Not once did they waiver in helping with this unprecedented situation. They were always by our side. When our original date came, sadness overwhelmed me. They ended up dropping off a little gift which was so sweet and helped turn my frown upside down. After that, we stayed in constant communication through phone, text, and even Instagram. Then, we ended up having to postpone our second date in September 2020 due to the pandemic again. What a nightmare, but with Coco & Whim, they were again, right at our side to ensure the next date would be the final date. They set our mind at ease multiple times and were always available for questions. After planning, postponing, and replanning, I am so thankful that we had Krystel & Karina with us throughout this whole process. Our wedding was a travel theme with whimsical, romantic, and Parisian vibes. As Krsytel has planned many wedding in Paris previously, I knew she would have great ideas. I knew it would be beautiful, but it still went above & beyond my expectations. Absolutely breathtaking! Being in the event industry myself, the small details matter a lot to me - i.e. flatlay designs, tablescapes, linen, etc., and capturing them on camera. WOW! Krystel created our flatlay designs herself and styled them. I seriously cannot get enough and stare at these photos daily! They are such a dynamic duo and are both creative visionaries and will take your ideas and will turn them into reality. On the day of (finally, May 16, 2021), Krystel & Karina had additional assistants and we all met in the bridal suite. I couldn't believe the day finally came and they seemed all just as excited as us. The whole day was amazing! The team was so welcoming, helpful, organized, and professional. With everything we had been through the last 2 years, I am so happy they were the last people I saw before heading down the aisle to get married. It was finally happening! We did have a medical emergency that everyone was so helpful with. This did get us behind schedule which couldn't be helped, and we had a wedding crasher, but they handled everything so well that I didn't even know that had happened! I honestly can't thank Coco and Whim enough for the amount of time, energy, and creativeness that they put in to our special day. It wouldn't have been the same without them and I hope we continue to stay in each other lives, because they weren't just our "wedding planners" to us, they turned into friends and mentors.

She and her staff were so friendly and gave us a lot of great advice. In fact, she saved us a lot of stress by allowing us to hire her cleaning services the day of the wedding! She and her staff showed up at 9:30pm and began cleaning up, slicing the cake for us, and making sure all was clean by the end of our party. What a life saver!! She went above and beyond!
