I chose John Reardon of My Custom Ceremony for my destination wedding in St. Augustine through the…read moreweb and a phone conversation. I'm glad I did. He sent us sample ceremonies with ample suggestions for vows and room to be as creative as we wished. John was helpful, available and always had a smile in his voice. He was wonderfully calm and reassuring at our somewhat calamitous rehearsal (bad rehearsal, great show!) And on the day of, despite the frigid weather, his personal warmth and good humor was evident. He was flexible, rolled with the weather, the jokes and the laughter of my wedding party and guests, and helped to make my wedding an awesome event.

We chose John Reardon as the wedding officiant for our daughter's wedding. We found his name on…read moreWashington Oaks State Garden's website among the list of officiants who've performed wedding ceremonies there (which is where our daughter's wedding was), as well as Wedding Wire, the Knot, and several other wedding planning websites. He had great reviews, which really encouraged us. John was very responsive and handled everything in a timely manner (from correspondence throughout the planning, obtaining the marriage license - my daughter and her husband live in Texas and needed John's assistance in obtaining an out-of-state marriage license , to planning all of the details of the actual ceremony). I spoke to John initially, to secure him for that day and felt very assured by his professionalism. He spoke to my daughter and her fiancé, at the time, and they loved him immediately! He was friendly and spent time with them going over everything. They were able to customize their vows and he gave them valuable suggestions and recommendations as to the unity candle and other details of the ceremony. We met John in person for the first time on the day of the wedding. He was so friendly and efficient! My husband and I loved how he led the ceremony and his personality. He was light-hearted and sincere. He had a sense of humor, which we appreciated, and he led the ceremony with expertise. We loved that he seemed to take his responsibility as the officiant performing their vows to heart, like he genuinely cared about their vows and the lifelong commitment they were making. We would recommend John's services without hesitation.

I was engaged for a little over a year and within that year, my husband and I truly felt like we had a good friend on our side planning our big day. Francesca took in everything i envisioned and made it a reality all staying within my budget. She suggested vendors that fit US and OUR style, not just people she liked. She told us how I could make "X" happen realistically and cost effectively rather than just letting me spend thousands of dollars on something I found on Pinterest (LOL). Most importantly, she made our wedding day the best day of our lives. If anything went wrong, we had no idea. She made sure we had a drink in our hands at all times. She made sure we ate. She made sure my dad didnt have all of the desserts before dinner even started. She made the venue look better than I could have ever envisioned and lead our team of vendors to perfection. We love The Eventful Gals and always say she is the best money we spent in the entire process.

That is when she pawned us off to another coordinator. ~ They did not have my best interest at heart when it came to vendor pricing. Francesca got "ONE" quote from LUXE rentals which were the highest prices compared to other vendors I reached out to. When I told Francesca that I thought the price was high her response was "That's the going rate". I ended up having to do the leg work and book a vendor myself. ~ I specifically hired Francesca because I am in CA and my wedding is in St. Aug. FL. I needed someone to design & coordinate decor as well as direct the set up and tear down at the venue. During our free consultation I told Francesca I didn't want flowers as centerpieces. The ONE and only idea Francesca sent me for a centerpiece was with flowers to which she attached an invoice from the florist. ~ She was unresponsive after we pointed out that the only decor idea she provided us was the one thing we stated we did not want. ~ I was the one that kept having to initiate the conversation with Francesca because I wasn't getting any input on decor. ~ I asked about decor for the food stations and in so many words she told me that's not her job and I should talk to the caterer. ~ I politely asked them to please return any unused portion of my deposit to which they were very unprofessional (immediately trying to play the lawyer card) and claimed what they had done so far would bill well over my deposit amount. - Once I rebutted their rude and condescending response to my cancellation request with actual verbiage from our contract and email exerts, they have completely disappeared. - My Fiance (Career Military) and I (Corporate HR) are convinced that they are completely out of touch with professional expectations.

We highly recommend Jeremy Weinglass! Not only does he have a huge repertoire of music, but he…read moreplays beautifully. He and his wife Kim are so easy to work with and both completely understand the workings and "moods" of the occasion. Jeremy played for my husband's Big 80th Birthday Party.

She was hired as our wedding coordinator but she literally took over everything else to ensure that our big day was special. I even told her that I felt like I have gained a friend. She is so warm sweet and assertive. She not only helped set up the rehearsal dinner, she made sure that I didn't have to worry about a thing. She only left after making sure everything was going smoothly. During the wedding planning process, I had SEVERAL FREAK OUT MOMENTS. If you're a bride, trust me this will happen to you too. Nekeda was always one phone call away and made me feel better every time. She'd always ask me "what else is bothering you, so I can take care of it"? Every bride needs Nekeda in their life. She is the real deal! She was on top of every vendor. If I was not pleased with someone's services she would email them right away to make sure there's no miscommunication and that they understood what our expectations were. I can't say enough great things about Nekeda. You must hire her to see for yourself. There's no way we'd be able to have such a nice wedding without her help. Thank you so much Nekeda! I'm so glad I came across your profile. You truly are amazing.
