She asked thoughtful questions about my preferences, brought incredible ideas to the table, and made me feel completely at ease knowing I was in good hands. Throughout the entire planning process, Michelle's organization and attention to detail were unparalleled. She put together comprehensive checklists, timelines, and planning documents that allowed everything to run seamlessly. Michelle also has fantastic relationships with vendors across the board - she recommended our incredible photographer, florist, hair/makeup team and more. I trusted her suggestions completely. On the wedding day itself, Michelle's experience and expertise shone through. She handled any and all issues and changes smoothly and kept everything on schedule. Thanks to her, I got to purely enjoy the magic of my wedding day without a single worry or concern. I cannot overstate what an invaluable partner Michelle was in bringing my dream wedding to life. For any couple wanting a stress-free, smooth planning process and perfect execution, Michelle is hands-down your best bet. I consider hiring her the best decision I made for our wedding day.

We were greeted at the door by Cynthia and she asked when do you want breakfast? It topped my whole wedding day! The room was welcoming with the door sign- Don and Anne plus the Mr & Mrs sign on the bed with chocolate truffles. Our breakfast started with a light fruit parfait with a hint of carmal, mimosas, the best eggs Benedict I've ever had plus a lemon pound cake. Don was able to create some of the menu when he went to tour before our wedding. I can't say enough about our stay - I was on cloud nine and felt like a bride princess!!!

Book a reservation the next time you're in town, if you enjoy comfy, cozy, and crazy good attention to detail and design.

Where do I even begin?…read more We had just a 28 person wedding including us, the bride and groom... Sounds simple, right? Well, we complicated it by marrying alllll the way out at Powell Gardens, and then doing to reception alllll the way back in town at Lidia's. Lots of driving! In addition to that, it was important to us (ok mostly me) to have a Zero Waste wedding- with stations set up all over the house/venues for waste to go to recycling, compost, Terracycle, burn-ables for our fire pit, etc. etc. It required a lot more work, and LaTasha helped to make it happen! LaTasha was CONSTANTLY on her feet, thinking ahead, anticipating my needs, conducting our rehearsal (we didn't know what the hell we were doing!!), picking up breakfast for us on the big day, wrangling folks for photos, collaborating with the photographer, making our yummy but somewhat boring looking cake POP with flowers and handmade bird toppers, video-ing all the toasts... I mean seriously, what can't she do?! She even helped me sneak a nerf bullet into my bestie-of-honor's bouquet so that I could surprise the groom with a silly inside joke during our vows when I handed him a flower with the nerf bullet tied to the stem... GOT HIM!!! Everyone in our families and close friend group admired LaTasha's hard work and cheerful can-do attitude. She fit right into the energy of our big day. She thinks of EVERYTHING. I absolutely loved working with her, and the amount of stress she saved me was just so impactful- my main goal for the weekend was to direct all our guests' well-meaning logistical questions to her, so that I didn't have to think or make decisions- I could just divorce my phone for the day and be present. It was one hell of a weekend. It would not have been as breezy and fun without LaTasha there to guide things.

She was incredibly organized, advocated for my mom to make sure all her needs and preferences were met, coordinated things with vendors. She made sure my mom did not have to lift a FINGER on her wedding day! She was with us for the rehearsal on Saturday directing to make sure everyone knew what was happening and from early morning on the wedding day until the last light was out at the venue in the evening. LaTasha helped with and ran everything from set-up to tear down, she kept detailed lists of every single thing we had for decor and who it belonged to and where it needed to end up. She is also one of the nicest people EVER while also being a hard-ass and making sure stuff gets DONE - coordinating with other vendors and also bridal party all while letting the bride enjoy her day (which is, seriously, exactly what you need in a wedding coordinator) I do not know how we would have gotten through the rehearsal and wedding day without her, not to mention all the times she talked my mom down about stressors and issues leading up to her wedding! LaTasha is an absolutely phenomenal wedding coordinator and absolutely everybody should hire her!! You don't even know it, but you need her running your special day!

There were many people from all over town and our little area here in New Longview. My wife and I live is Kessler Ridge, so we drove less than five minutes to get to the mansion. We have been on the grounds many times before, but this was the first time we were able to visit the interior of the house. It is impressive and fun. There were lots of little pop-up shops set up inside the mansion, all on the main floor and then in a tent that extended from a sunporch on the back of the house. That was by far the biggest area to shop. The rest of the little pop-up areas were small and cozy inside the house. The staff was lovely and serving drinks, wine and food. We only had one glass of wine so we could drive home safely. We loved walking around the house, which everyone who attended was allowed to do with no drama and no supervision. Everyone I saw was super respectful of the property. Everyone we encountered was kind. It was a lovely evening. I hope they do it again next year so we can go.

She was so dirty it was like they've never cleaned their mats and floors. Especially with it being a competitive, shoeless floor you'd think they'd have more pride in the appearance and cleanliness. There was duct tape holding a ton of stuff together and that creates a general safety hazard because it can bust or grip where someone isn't expecting it to. Just not that great of a place. Maybe the price was worth it?

If you are planning a wedding, read this FIRST!…read more I am a high functioning OCD type of person, and when we decided to get married with only 2 and a 1/2 months notice I went into overdrive planning. We identified a location and starting tasking friends and contacting vendors within a week, but I quickly started to get overwhelmed with the amount of effort. I was trying to juggling working full time, traveling for work and planning a wedding with next to no notice when my best friend begged me to find a day-of wedding coordinator. I turned to trusty Yelp to help me out and was sad to see the lack of reviews for wedding vendors. However, I did find one review for Buffee Ann and saw I could contact her for a quote. She quickly replied and when I decided not to move forward was sweet in her response to my poor life choices. Only a few days later I changed my mind and she encouraged me to skype with her before making another bad decision. I am so glad I did! From the start Buffee was energetic and encouraging while also allowing my strong personality to dictate as much as I could of the planning process. I have to say at the end of the day, hiring Buffee to help me out was the BEST IDEA EVER! If you're planning a wedding, get help from the very start. Buffee offered suggestions for vendors after we ran into challenges with a few of ours, and we realized she would have been a savior if we had used her from day 1. She worked with our bartending service to help resolve a difficult issue and found me someone to help with my hair (which received numerous compliments). Buffee even offered to add some much needed make-up to my very ungirly self. To say she was a fairy godmother would be an understatement. If you're looking for help with planning anything, go no further. Buffee Ann will take care of you, be your cheerleader, and provide excellent suggestions for local vendors.

But finding Buffee and Magical Moments was a huge stroke of luck. She helped us figure out exactly what we want. It was the perfect mix of making sure we got the wedding that we specifically wanted but she also knew when we were unsure about something and she always pushed us in the right direction. We both really cannot say enough good things about Buffee. She made our wedding, something both of us always dreamed of but figured we could never have, the most amazing day of our lives. We're an LGBT couple and especially living in the midwest you never really know how people are going to be or if they'll even want to help you, but Buffee and Magical Moments made our wedding seem so important to them and made sure we found the vendors who would best serve our needs. If anyone ever asks me for advice on wedding planning I'm sending them to Magical Moments immediately.
