As an event planner, I understand the importance of honest reviews. Here's our experience with…read moreCarla for my September 2024 wedding. We initially met Carla at Château du Feÿ, where she was employed. After a disappointing experience with another planner, we hired Carla 5 months before our wedding, hoping her 3+ years of specialized venue expertise would be invaluable. To our surprise, Carla had not worked with half of our vendors before - even though they were part of the short list of recommended vendors provided by the venue. Despite her website's claims, Carla's design suggestions felt generic and lacked the personalized touch we were looking for. Carla's lack of attention to detail became increasingly apparent as we worked with her. Our wedding had many unique and custom details. Lots of information that a seasoned wedding planner would be able to keep an attentive handle on. The mounting oversights caused significant stress in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. We were genuinely anxious that our vision wouldn't be realized. Luckily, we had multiple vendors and family friends that helped Carla execute the event. As the bride, I distanced myself as much as possible from Carla to allow myself to enjoy the day without frustration. This is not the typical experience. While we appreciate Carla's willingness to take us on with short notice, and she did have some helpful insights regarding sourcing a local florist and unique videographers, her lack of attention to detail ultimately overshadowed those positives. Feel free to message me if you have questions about our experience.

We hired Andrea Ball as our "day of" coordinator for a wedding in the Buffalo, NY area and she did…read morean outstanding job that made our wedding so much more enjoyable as she took so much of the stress out of it. While we did much of the vendor selection and planning (site, florist, cake) on our own, Andrea reviewed contracts for us, came with us to planning meetings, and recommended vendors for areas we had not yet found one. She found people on short notice when things came up (e.g. piano player for our cocktail reception) and made sure that we had thought through all the issues for the day of our wedding. But the real value was on the day of the wedding. Andrea had everything moving on time, with little stress, and it just made things move by so smoothly. Andrea has great working relationships throughout the area which adds to her value in making sure things get done without a hitch -- and if there is a hitch - she'll fix it before it becomes a problem. Worth every penny and then some.

There are so many decisions that couples need to make as they plan a wedding, and Daulton was with us every step of the way. She made us feel comfortable... ranging from challenging financial negotiations that most couples wouldn't be prepared for, to even providing her opinion when we needed an unbiased third party. Daulton was thorough, honest, thoughtful, and will make you feel secure as you go into planning your big day or special event. Plus, she's a breath of fresh air in a cluttered wedding industry where it can be difficult to find a trustworthy person to help you. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat, and recommend her to anyone that needs planning advice or support.

Her taste is so elegant and simple, and her suggestions for decor and ambiance were always exactly what we were looking for! We hosted two weddings - one in New Orleans and the other in Cleveland. It was not easy planning in two locations (especially because we don't live in either location) for two completely different style of weddings, but Daulton made the whole process a breeze and so enjoyable! All of our vendors spoke so highly about Daulton and how organized everything was. Her day of coordination was flawless, even through a few hiccups, we never stressed as Daulton had everything taken care of so we could enjoy our big days with our family and friends and help our wedding dreams become a reality. She was everything and more in a wedding planner and we were so lucky to be able to work with her!!

She arrived an hour early to help set everything up which was SO helpful. The flowers were BEAUTIFUL and exactly what I had wanted. She had tulips, hydrangeas, daisies, and a few other spring time flowers, along with a few succulents and even a few pussy willows! The arrangements were the appropriate size and style for the shower and tables. I had requested a "flower buffet" type of thing, so that the attendants of the shower could make a bouquet to take home with them. She brought the flowers in these huge rustic tins, all cut and read to go. She had shears also so people could cut them even smaller if they wanted, and was ready to assist anyone. She had helpful tips for how to keep the flowers fresh. I absolutely love Christy's.. what I would describe as a raw and rustic aesthetic! She has a true passion not only for flowers, but for gardening and growing those flowers naturally. I am truly excited to be working with her for my wedding coming up in May as well, as I know everything will be beautiful!
