Lourdes Barroso de Padilla who owns and runs A Time to Toast was fantastic, and hands down one of…read morethe best- if not the best money we spent on our wedding. Lourdes went beyond the day of coordinator position for our wedding and met with us a few times before the event, went to various vendor meetings, coordinated our rehearsal, made a timeline, helped to set up reception and ceremony décor, picked up breakfast and lunch for the bridal party, and much-much more. Lourdes was personable, friendly, and assertive at the appropriate times, if there was anything that went wrong at our wedding we had no idea! In fact the day was beyond perfect. Lourdes was fantastic!!!

Although Lourdes is based in Columbus, OH, she was here in Boston at the time of our wedding, so…read moreshe worked as an assistant coordinator. She was very professional and easy to work with - we had a primary coordinator based here in Boston who took care of details during the bulk of planning, but Lourdes was available for consultation/second opinions all the time and we would have been absolutely LOST without her help with coordinating many of the "day of" details and timeline. She is fabulous!

Sommer is an absolute lifesaver - we truly think she was born to do this, and can't overstate how…read moremuch we loved working with her! Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed every single second thanks to her. Everything we could think of, big and small, she made it happen - and kept us hydrated, relaxed, and well fed doing it! From weather issues to vendor conflicts to hangover prevention, she is the master of it all. Her partner, Mia, is wonderful as well - we had only had the pleasure of working with her for a couple hours, but she was extremely friendly, professional, and led us seamlessly. Kelly, her hospitality manager, kept all of our guests well organized, fed, watered, and entertained. Sommer and her team will treat you as family. This is our first time working with an event group, and we will never try anyone else!!

I cannot say enough about Sandra and her team. I was a very stressed out bride due to having to…read morechange venues at the last minute. There were many wedding planners I contacted to either get no response back or wanting to charge way more than I could afford. Sandra not only called me back within the day, but was solving problems for me before I even officially hired her. She and her team(Keyiana and Meda) were with me every step of the way. She gave me 110% of her time and energy everytime. There wasn't anything I asked her about that she couldn't help me with or help me come up with a solution. I couldn't recommend her more.

We booked Sandra for my baby shower and the few things we asked her to do right turned out to be a…read moredisaster which I have pictures of. We asked for cupcakes in a flower pot and provided her with a picture. She then took it upon herself to google something completely different and provided us with a horrible recreation of it. Her response to our complaints... "I'm not an artist." Ummm ok then why did you say " Oh I can do that"...What a joke. She even sat out 2 on display that were complete mistakes she said she thought she took out. I could go on and on about the pots not being too small and her smart remarks, her setting up late, providing dead flowers for the centerpieces and the catering not being that great. Sandra is completely unprofessional, careless and insensitive to what you request. I highly suggest supporting another company that is actually going to provide you with what you're paid for. Truly regretful of letting her plan my shower, she was such a disappointment. The response from the owner is another example of her insensitivity and incompetence. There was nothing Winnie the Pooh themed about the shower. Everything was just yellow. No one even had a clue. If Sandra would have taken the time to confirm what we actually wanted there would have been a totally different outcome. She even posted pictures of party favors my family ordered that had nothing to do with what she provided or did. A copyright infringement removal has been requested.

I planned everything myself but wanted someone to help with setup and tear down on wedding day. I had a vision of how I wanted everything to go and I went over the details with her.

We had a few issues and she made some quick decisions to work through them taking the stress off me for the day. I cannot thank them enough for how great they were and I appreciate so much how they helped make the best day ever possible.

From start to finish, Meggie and her team were organized, professional and put everyone at ease, even during a blizzard.

I speak from the perspective of both the bridesmaid and the bride. As a bridesmaid in one of her weddings, I truly had the most stress-free day. Meggie took care of each and every detail with the utmost professionalism and careful communication, which meant that as bridesmaids we were free to focus 100% on celebrating the bride and groom. It's the only time I've been a bridesmaid without any confusion or harried running around behind the scenes on that day. Meggie provided me a true gift in getting to be fully present in every way for my dear friends. As the bride, Meggie was a fierce, strong, yet graceful, servant-hearted leader. She is a professional in every way, a clean communicator, and yet a genuine friend. She seamlessly carries all these roles in order to nail every detail. From having to navigate finding me a new hair stylist in the last two weeks, to finding creative ways to execute our dreams within our budget, to putting out last-minute fires, to building an incredible wedding vendor team that pulled off everything without a hitch, Meggie does everything. And the best part, she does it all with grace, class, and a genuine compassion that makes her an amazing gem. Please look no further! Meggie Francisco is truly world-class.
