Addie and Michael are worth their weight in gold…read more We were new to Raleigh while planning our wedding and Addie was full of the information we were looking for. Addie knows every single person, vendor, and reputation in the NC wedding world. She will tell you why they will and why they won't work for you- and give you honest direction. She is reputable and people know her name for the right reasons. We considered it insurance in our investment when we realized that every vendor we contacted after her had nothing but good things to say. Networking really matters and there were more than a handful of times where working with Addie significantly benefitted us when it came to business doings with other vendors. Addie is assertive, personable, likable, directive, organized, and timely. She excels as a wedding planner. Her problem-solving skills are untouched. She shrinks everything to size and comes up with solutions and backup plans on the spot. I can't imagine what it would take to frazzle her- she is so confident and well versed in what she does. And worth adding: Addie and Michael are truly fun to be around. If you can't tell where this is going- it's a 10/10, would use again in a heartbeat, best vendor we booked kind of review. Dogwood delivers exactly as contracted and promised. Addie and Michael are well worth your investment. You will be extremely satisfied.

Her organization resources, contact sheets and lists she went through with us in our final details meetings were unbelievably helpful as well. She completely removed the stress from the weeks leading up to our wedding and made our big day feel totally seamless. She also traveled from Durham all the way out to the Outer Banks for our wedding, having never seen our venue before our rehearsal and she still knocked it out of the park. I can never thank you enough for coordinating our day perfectly! xoxo

The perfect place to have your wedding!…read more White Dove Chapel is the perfect place to have your wedding! The chapel is private, quaint, and beautiful. Brigitte is so nice and will direct you through what you need to do for the ceremony. She is very experienced and has been doing this for many years. She beats any wedding planner out there when it comes to directing what to do for the ceremony! Everything is clean and well organized. There is a place for the bride to get dressed. The space is large enough for bridesmaids to get dressed also and there are two bathrooms. It's so cool knowing you're getting married in a part of history that has been maintains properly by people who respect it. Brigitte is very knowledgeable about historical events and the history of the chapel so it was really interesting getting to know her and conversing with her. Overall, I would 100% recommend having your wedding here! It's a gorgeous place and you'll remember it forever!

I highly recommend Gina Myers as a wedding planner. She was a real life saver to me and my family…read more I foolishly took on the job of planning the wedding of my son and his finance all by myself, and for a month and a half I was miserable. The details were just overwhelming. I finally decided I at least needed a "day of" planner and contracted with Gina. The breaking point came when the place I had contracted to do the reception fell through. Gina was by my side and she quickly swung into action. Within an hour, we had an appointment with another venue. From that time on, I asked her to take over, to be the full planner. She graciously agreed. She was invaluable in helping me locate and book a soloist for the church, a DJ, a band, a makeup artist, transportation, a graphic artist, a wedding cake baker, and other needed vendors. Her voice of experience was very helpful for me as well as my son and his finance. None of us were that familiar with all the wedding etiquette and protocols, but she's a pro. My son and his finance quickly grew to like her and trust her. It was very helpful to have a go between between me and the couple so they could feel like they could share openly and honestly. The best part was that she was always cheerful and upbeat and seemed genuinely interested in our needs and wants. Her years of experience made her quickly able to assess the likes and dislikes of the bride and make appropriate recommendations. My only regret is that I didn't hire her from day one.

Jim at Pulse Entertainment was a big part of this coordination. His web site has great features that let us educate Jim about our goals and allowed him to keep our wedding on track. Wedding Time Line This area of his site allowed us to coordinate the wedding and define when certain events happened. (Meal Service, Formal Dances, Announcements, etc) This was very valuable when coordinating with the caterer. It also allowed for quick adjustments to the time line as unexpected things came up. Wedding Traditional 20 This area of his site allowed us to address a lot of the typical wedding things. What songs should he play for formal dances? What did we want him to specifically say during announcements and introductions? Did we want a bouquet or garter toss? It helped him to understand what we wanted and more importantly what we did not. Music Request. This section allows you categorize songs based on preference. You can select Must Play, Would Like Played, and Do Not Play. Jim was very good at playing most of the songs we requested, but there were a couple songs we did not hear that we wish we had. Next to each song you can make a note to Jim and I wish we had identified a few songs as special in the Notes area. In all fairness, we did tell Jim to use his best judgment. We wanted to give him the freedom to do his job and react to the vibe coming from the crowd. The guests loved the music and we got a lot of compliments on the DJ. I am sure all DJ's have fancy websites now, but Jim was very thought when talking about our wedding and met with us twice to discuss the details. If you are interviewing DJ's you know that there are some big egos out there. On multiple occasions Jim said "I want this to be what you want. This is your day and I just want to help make it as nice as possible." He had zero ego, was extremely helpful, and was a great help in keeping the wedding on track and providing us with great music. Lastly, Jim was a good value. More often than not you find 2 types of DJ's. 1.) the big head/ego guy that charges thousands of dollars and insists you call him DJ Ed or DJ Bob and 2.) the kid on craigslist that will DJ your wedding for $200 using his iPod. Jim is neither of these. Good price, reliable, and very professional. I would highly recommend Jim and Pulse Entertainment to anyone looking a good wedding DJ. LT
