We hired Elise at Starling on Bond at the recommendation of our venue, 501 Union, as our month of…read morecoordinator, and it was one of the best decisions we made. I've put together many events professionally and began the wedding process thinking I'd be able to handle most things myself or hire a friend to help day of. But, as we got deeper into planning, we quickly realized having a month of coordinator was absolutely necessary for a stress-free day. In the months leading up to the wedding, I occasionally peppered Elise with questions, and she always answered quickly and helpfully. We began our meetings together a little over a month out from the big day, and from the start Elise was warm, organized, thoughtful, and professional. She was always two steps ahead of me and anticipated things I never had, even as an extremely Type A bride. Having Elise working behind the scenes made the day such a breeze for me and my husband. We had a detailed and well-planned timeline to go by, and didn't have to worry about the minutiae that can take away from being able to enjoy the day. My husband and I wanted to be entirely present for our wedding, and as natural hosts, it was so nice to not have to worry about all the little details for once. If anything went wrong, we didn't know about it. Our day was that smooth, thanks to Elise. We absolutely loved working with her and highly recommend her to anyone who's wondering if they need a coordinator (you do.)

We worked with Elise as our month of coordinator for our Wedding in December 2015. We can't…read morerecommend her enough! She was absolutely fantastic. I honestly don't know how we would have done it without her, she was amazing at helping us organize family, friends, vendors, timing, music, etc. etc. It was very clear that she'd listened to the type of ceremony and reception we wanted and she made excellent suggestions along the way to make sure everything was ready to go for the big day. On the day she was a wonderful calming influence and just let us (and our families!) enjoy ourselves. She had everything planned down to the minute (and alerted the relevant parties ahead of time) so that she could cue everything up as it happened, seamlessly. At one point my Mum managed to spilt an entire glass of Champagne on my Dad's speech right before we was due to stand up. Though it was pretty funny in hindsight it made him nervous in the moment but without causing any alarm Elise jumped in to help salvaged the speech and gave him her clipboard to make it easier to read. She even noticed that my wife's Grandparents weren't great on their feet so when it came time for the buffet she already had plates prepared for them. It was a pleasure and we were so glad that it meant we were able to just enjoy each other and all of our guests instead of worrying about the event. More than worth it.

Not…read moreonly are they the kindest and most supportive people, but they are also extremely creative and are able to bring your visions to life in a way far better than you ever imagined. Tin Can Studios uses flowers in a way that is breathtaking, tasteful and makes flowers into sculptural works of art. We worked with Ingrid and Ashley to do the florals and design for our wedding ceremony, reception and welcome dinner. Each design flowed together but was unique, the colors were incredible, and the flowers beyond gorgeous. It was the most beautiful event we could have ever imagined. Ingrid and Ashley also helped us bring together all of the linens, glassware, candles and other design elements to go with the flowers. We had many meetings leading up to the wedding, and Ingrid and Ashley were always so easy to work with, receptive of our ideas, and hardworking to bring our ideas to life. They were there for our entire wedding weekend, taking care of every design details seamlessly, and the entire team was so hardworking in the brutal heat. They even put together a massive stained glass installation in our venue's ceiling to reflect light and add color to the large room that our reception was in. We cannot recommend Tin Can Studios enough - you will truly have the most beautiful flowers for your event, and will get to work with the most kind and supportive people in the process. We love Ingrid, Ashley and the Tin Can team so much that we have worked with them again since our wedding for a surprise birthday party, and are looking forward to our next event with them :). If you have the opportunity to hire Tin Can for your event design and flowers, do not hesitate for a second!

Throughout…read morethe planning process, she played an instrumental role in turning our ideas into something tangible and absolutely beautiful. She was full of practical suggestions and helped us avoid planning pitfalls that couples sometimes run into. She provided us with a great deal of direction with our decor and floral arrangements. I wanted something a little different for our centerpieces, and I felt that she really listened to what I was saying and applied her expertise to make my vision come to life. On our wedding day, Andrea not only organized and managed all of the nitty gritty details, but she also ensured that my husband and I were relaxed and enjoying our day. There were a few moments where I found myself getting nervous or overwhelmed, and Andrea's calming presence and words of wisdom really helped to keep me focused. Our wedding was more perfect than I could have ever imagined, and our family and friends agree. Thank you Andrea for all of the hard work you put into making that possible.

Andrea's action packed game was very effective enabling us to deliver an outstanding world class event, on time and on budget. I highly recommend Andrea Freeman without reservations.

My elopement was…read moremore of a micro wedding so it took a little more planning in advance than probably most people who are eloping. Michele was patient and helpful when we weren't able to book everything right away since it was too far in advance for some of the vendors but Michele kept on top of it to make sure we got all of our first choices of venue and vendors as soon as their books opened for our desired date! Michele answered all of our questions and was a very good communicator as well as SUPER organized which was comforting to a type A person like myself. We did use a day of coordinator through Pop the Knot as well and Mike was amazing!! We only met him in person day of but his energy was great and everything went off without a hitch. He helped set up the space the way we wanted, made sure our guests were where they needed to be, helped with my entrance, and controlled the music. He also made sure he came out to introduce himself before I made my entrance so I wouldn't be meeting him in person when I walked into the space which I thought was a nice touch. Overall I had a great experience with Pop the Knot and would recommend their services!

She was friendly and prompt in answering our emails. She was great during the wedding ceremony and we couldn't ask for more! We have no regrets at all and we'd recommend her to everyone!! Thanks so much, Andrea! Although Yuri wasn't able to physically play for us, he recommended a very reputable and reliable experienced cellist for our wedding ceremony.

My relationship with Berenice is complicated. I do not know whether to call her a planner, a…read moredecorator, an artist, a vendor liason, creative director, or friend. I initially was with another planner who got very sick and was recommended Berenice. I was apprehensive with the wedding jitters changing planners, but it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Berenice was organized having multiple portfolios with my vision in tow. Multiple layouts pictures, and google docs to create my vision meeting her on the first day after just one phone call. She explained everything in detail and nothing I wanted was over the top and we ALWAYS stayed in budget. With a planner you want someone who is creative so that things that may be financially out of reach they can manipulate and create it for you. Berenice did that multiple times. My guests were astounded with the details all spear-headed by Berenice. Everything I asked for I got and then some, nothing was out of reach. Up until the day of the wedding Berenice had added all these details that made the guests really in awe. On my wedding day Berenice made sure everything ran smooth and on time having walkie talkies lookin like the CIA! Did I mention all the vendors that she found that were high quality but gave us good prices because they knew her (One that made us a wooden seating chart decorated with beautiful greenery). Berenice is also a calligrapher, and wrote out all of our wedding items in this beautiful cursive! I can't put into words how awesome she is. If you want someone who is creative, organized, dependable, loves meeting in person, goes above and beyond, Professional, Kind, Smart, and will be a pitbull if you need it. Then use Oh So Beautiful Events! I recommend 100x over!!! SHES AMAZING I MEANT IT

Martine and her team at Pretty Rose Co. are a rarity in the floral world -- true high-end artists…read morewho create bespoke, timeless, museum-worthy installations. Their work didn't just decorate my wedding; it transformed my venue into something out of a dream. When I described my vision to my wedding planner, she immediately said, "You need Martine." She was absolutely right. Pretty Rose Co. brought to life a breathtaking 10x10 olive tree installation -- something my venue had never seen before. It became the soul of our ceremony space, framed by lush hedges of florals lining the aisle and overflowing arrangements that felt organic, romantic, and completely immersive. Every detail looked like it belonged in a world-class conservatory. Our florals were abundant, fresh, and unbelievably elegant. The bouquets, the centerpieces, the cake table meadow -- everything was cohesive yet dynamic, sophisticated yet warm. The photos don't even do justice to how magical it felt in person. The level of preparation and precision Martine brings to her work is unmatched. She and her team visited the venue several times beforehand, created mock-ups, tested recipes for the installation, and ensured every stem had a purpose. This is craftsmanship you rarely see -- thoughtful, intentional, and meticulous. On the wedding day, they arrived bright and early (I woke up to them working!) and were the last to leave late that night. They executed a flawless flip, transforming the ceremony into a reception space in under an hour. Watching them move as a team was incredible -- calm, coordinated, and masterful. And a true testament to their work: there was another wedding happening that day, and the other bride asked multiple times if she could use our florals for her own celebration. That's how extraordinary Martine's work is. Beyond the artistry, Martine is a joy to work with -- kind, professional, and deeply dedicated to her clients. She even collaborated seamlessly with a charity to ensure our florals were donated to local hospitals afterward, which meant the beauty continued touching lives long after our night ended. Pretty Rose Co. is the epitome of bespoke floral design -- curated, timeless elegance; luxury without stiffness; regal yet organic and full of warmth. If you want florals that make people gasp when they walk into your wedding and hands that are blessed for this purpose, Martine is the one.
