I had…read morea great experience with The Wedding Box and would highly recommend them to anyone that is planning a wedding. I was pretty overwhelmed trying to organize a wedding in Atlanta where there are a million vendors for everything. The Wedding Box had a very clear understanding of my vision and budget. Stefanie would only refer vendors to me that she knew I would like and could afford but was also extremely willing to work with anyone that I had found on my own. This includes the awful, heinous, mean (think of every bad word you can come up with) woman at my venue that almost put me in tears (btw, I am NOT a crier). In addition, she would negotiate when necessary, which was essential to me because I am really not good at it. The day of the wedding certainly would have been a disaster without my awesome planner. The Wedding Box team took care of every detail while I drank champagne and got ready with my girlfriends. I arrived at the venue and was able to enjoy my day completely stress free. My mother even commented that she and my father were skeptical when I hired a planner but after seeing what an amazing job they did, realized The Wedding Box was worth every penny!

We were unsure if we even needed the help of a wedding planner, as our daughter is a very organized…read moreperson, but having experienced all that Stephanie and her staff had to offer, I would recommend them without reservation. We hired the Wedding Box as a "day of" planner, which means that they provide their services for the rehearsal and the wedding. They learned the names of all the wedding party and arranged for all the vendors to be on time. They handled all the last minute glitches that always show up, and treated us all like old friends. My wife and I were able to enjoy our daughter's wedding as if we were guests rather than hosts. Stephanie's services were our wedding gift to our daughter, and it was the best money we spent!

I'm so glad Courtney was recommended to me (actually my husband's sister used her 10 years ago for her wedding). She was incredibly professional, competent, responsive, and efficient. I hired her as my "day of" coordinator but she actually met with me several times (both in person and virtually) in the months leading up to the wedding. She ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day of and I truly could not have made it through the day without her! Thanks so much, Courtney!

My husband and I were married in November in Piedmont Park. On our first visit with park, it was…read morerecommended that we work with Courtney. She reached out the next week, and in meeting her for five minutes, I was sold. If you are like me, and you want a gorgeous wedding, but you are not the most detail oriented person alive, or if you simply want to be able to enjoy your wedding day without the worry of "Did I contact this vendor?" "Do they know where to park?" etc...Courtney is vital to your day! Her basic package includes a pre-meeting and then closer to the day of, she will get a list of your vendors and begin reaching out. She will be there for the final walk through with your wedding team, and will take all the worry off your plate. Because of Courtney, and the wedding team we assembled, I was able to enjoy every bit of my wedding day. I got up, got dressed, and had a ball without the stress of all the details. If you can afford one extra thing, having a planner/coordinator is the way to go! Jenny

Words cannot express how my wife and I feel about our wedding planner, Jordan Xu, of Emily Jordan…read moreEvents (formerly Jordan Flowers of Wedding Belles). She is the best. We were truly lucky to have found her. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, we were very appreciative and grateful to have Jordan by our side. We relied on her heavily. Her guidance and support made everything about our wedding so much easier. We trusted her fully. We can't recommend Jordan and her team enough. Our wedding was April 15, 2022 at the Atlanta History Center. We first started working with Jordan in July 2018. Yes, we had been planning our wedding for about 3 years 9 months. No, we did not plan it that way. Our original wedding date was May 30, 2020. My wife and I had planned for a roughly two-year engagement and wedding planning period. Then of course, COVID happened. Our wedding was postponed twice: First, to May 7, 2021. Then, to April 15, 2022. Jordan was with us and supported us every step of the way. We went from planning a pre-COVID wedding to a post-COVID wedding. We went from in-person planning sessions to virtual planning sessions. We went from "normal" tastings to masked and socially-distant tastings. (BTW, the tastings - both for the food at the reception and for our wedding cake - were some of my favorite parts of the planning process.) We found Jordan after doing internet searches for Atlanta wedding planners. Jordan was one of multiple planners we contacted. One of the planners we spoke to wasn't a good fit. She recommended Jordan to us. Also, an Atlanta wedding photographer I know put in a good word about Jordan. After meeting with Jordan, my wife and I agreed, Jordan was an excellent fit. We immediately felt comfortable and jived with her. Coincidentally, Jordan and my wife went to the same college for undergrad (Emory) and Jordan and I are from the same part of North Carolina (Piedmont Triad). We've gotten along with Jordan so well that we consider her and her husband our friends. They are just really good people. Jordan is very professional and organized. With her years of experience in the wedding industry, particularly in Atlanta and with our venue and vendors, I knew we were in great hands. In general, my wife was more involved in the planning process with Jordan - she was more particular about certain details than I was. However, I think I was involved at an "above-average" level for a groom. I attended every meeting, but admittedly, tried to stay as hands-off as possible. Jordan was invaluable at securing appointments with the vendors that made the most sense to us based on our budget and preferences. Here were our vendors: * Venue: Swan House, Atlanta History Center * Florist: Unique Floral Expressions * Caterer: Affairs to Remember * Cake: Confection Perfection * DJ and MC: Andy of EuroAndy Events * Ceremony Music: Piedmont Strings * Furniture: EventWorks * Wedding Car: Ramblin' Reck from the Ramblin' Reck Club * Photographer: Leigh Wolfe Photography * Videographer: WedFlix * Bride's Wedding Dress: Sweet Elegance and Gizzelle James Couturiere * Bride and Bridesmaids Hair and Makeup: Scoobie West & Company * Bridesmaids Dresses: Bella Bridesmaids * Groom's Tux: TRIO Custom Clothiers * Groomsmen and Bridesman Tuxes: The Black Tux * Hotel: InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta * Trolley: Georgia Trolley Services * Dance Lessons: Fred Astaire Dance Studio (Durham, NC) * Planning Platform: Aisle Planner * Website, Registry, RSVPs: Zola * Paper Save the Dates and Invitations: Minted * Digital Save the Dates and Address Collection: Paperless Post Going through two years of postponements, we did have a couple vendors change due to life circumstances: (1) Our cake vendor changed from Lush Cakery to Confection Perfection. (2) Our dance studio changed from Daza Dance to Fred Astaire. A few of the vendors, we found ourselves. For example, I already had an existing relationship with TRIO, so I got them to do my custom tux. My wife and I already had our minds set on a Swan House wedding. Jordan made it happen. She and her team, along with many of the vendors we chose, have a lot of experience working together *and* working at the Atlanta History Center. So, for the most part, everything was quite easy. I think the hard part, at least for me as the groom, was decision-making on certain details (e.g. menu) and getting our guest list in order. In addition to securing the vendors that fit us best, Jordan and her team (including Sydney Woods and Gerard Wright) took care of so many details, I can't even begin to tell you; from reviewing and coordinating contracts and payments to little things on our wedding day, such as getting lip balm for my lips that were chapped from so much kissing. Jordan is a consummate professional. Simply put, Jordan exceeded our expectations and executed the wedding of our dreams. Check out our wedding trailer to see exactly what I mean: https://bit.ly/3laAY1h. Thank you, Jordan!

I cannot say enough good things about Wedding Belles. During wedding planning, I had asked my…read moregirlfriends who had recently gotten married themselves for tips and advice on what services they thought were helpful. The unanimous response was "hire a day-of coordinator." My husband and I had already done a lot of the planning so we didn't need a wedding planner but the idea of someone else handling all of the details in the days leading up to and on the day of the wedding sounded like a great idea. Hiring Jordan and Kristen was one of the best decisions we made and some of the best money we spent on the wedding. They were with me all day as I was getting ready, ran interference on the couple of inevitable hiccups that happened with guests and wedding participants, ironed my dress one more time, made sure we ate, and even played chauffeur since the church and reception venue were so close that we hadn't hired outside transportation. Above all, these ladies were calm and professional throughout the entire event. I can't imagine a better team to hire to help with your wedding.

Even though she was a month - of coordinator, she made sure that leading up to that month we had any pressing questions answered. She has such an easy going way about doing the wedding coordination that keeps everyone at ease and stress free. She had her assistant Sammy with her for the wedding day and both of them were so helpful with making sure the event went smoothly. We are a modern couple and wanted a modern/ non denominational (star wars, metallica and men in heels hah )wedding and they made us feel so comfortable with keeping things simple and fun. She created an amazingly organized system so that all the vendors knew right where to be and all questions were answered. Thanks so much Jessica and Sammy for making our big day so awesome!!

We had a very challenging venue (our back yard) and our house wasn't finished yet. But Naomi took it in stride and assured me everything would work out. She always answered my texts and emails promptly. She also worked very well with my caterer. She also introduced me to two vendors who were the top in their field - Emily Holmes for the invitations and Vintage Florals for the flowers. I cannot say enough good things about these two vendors. There were things the day of the wedding that did get missed. The usher boutonnieres were forgotten, the refreshment stand did not get put up, and the planner was not present for 2 hours of set up the morning of the wedding (my husband and I did it). Many family members commented to me that the rehearsal seemed very unorganized. However, these are just small details that no one really cares about. Overall, the wedding turned out great.

We are incredibly lucky to have worked with Ashley Baber. We began planning our wedding mid-2019…read moreand chose to postpone due to COVID the following year. Not only did she fully support our decision to do so, she went above and beyond in helping us plan a last minute elopement for 2020. We adored every vendor she suggested, and both weddings went off without a hitch. She had all emergencies covered. Forgot the flower girl baskets at the hotel with the ceremony 5 minutes out? No problem! She had extras in her car. My dog getting muddy paw prints all over my dress? Ashley had special wipes that made everything look good as new. She even had a sewing kit on hand for dress malfunctions. I can't say enough wonderful things about her services, and Ashley as a person. I would recommend her to anyone.

Ashley Baber was the best money we spent throughout our entire wedding planning process…read more Planning a wedding for 200 people is one of the most stressful things we have ever done, but Ashley kept us sane and focused on the joy of the day. We could only afford to hire her as a day of coordinator, but she went above and beyond to help us through every phase. She quickly understood what our vision was for the event was and did everything in her power to make it a reality. She is decisive (when you can't be), ready with a trusted vendor recommendation (when you need it), extremely professional and has a good eye for what's hot (and what's not). She also has a wickedly good sense of humor. She is also fabulous at negotiating prices with vendors so I suggest you get that package if you can swing the cost. We couldn't, but Ashley still helped us get a good price with certain vendors and even came to my dress fitting although I'd already used up the consultations included in my package. In response to the other reviewer: it may take her a little while to respond to emails because she has other clients with weddings taking place before yours. But she always got back to us in less than 48 hours with very detailed responses and her response time was even faster--mere hours--during the last month of the planning. I cannot imagine what the planning would have been without such wealth of information just an email away. Unlike some other planners I've heard stories about, Ashley worked behind the scenes on our wedding day to make everything ran smoothly and only came to us with questions when it was absolutely necessary. You have no idea how important this is. We got to spend time with our family, friends and each other instead of worrying about the small stuff. As a result, the entire event was a success and everyone is still raving that it was the most fun and beautiful wedding they have ever been to. We had a blast too! We would absolutely hire her again without any hesitation and enthusiastically recommend her. She is the best of the best!

Everything was perfect even with all the glitches! BTW RCA knows all the vendors and ins and outs of pricing so you will be $$$ ahead to go with full planning! Don't cut corners where your special event is concerned. I don't understand why some people lie to vent and get their way when it's not true and they are the one who caused their own problem by being cheap and trying to scam a vendor.
