Awarded Best of Zola
Kristen and her team were amazing- her services were the most critical part of our wedding! She was so organized and on top of everything for the wedding, as soon as I hired her I felt so much more at ease with the planning process. I did a pretty much DIY wedding, my venue did not provide anything other than the venue and furniture, therefore, I had a lot of moving parts to my wedding and multiple vendors involved. Kristen took all the chaotic information I provided and streamlined the whole thing. She organized everything for me into a very easy to follow timeline and then was in constant communication with all the vendors. My regular hair dresser is the hair dresser I used for my wedding and she and I are friends. She told me that from a vendor's perspective, Kristen was the best coordinator/planner she had ever worked with. She was very impressed with her constant communication and all of the details she thought of in preparation of the event. Kristen and her team took my vision and made it a reality which was no easy task but she got it done. This was hands down the most positive experience I had in wedding planning/preparation and I would highly recommend Kristen for any planning needs!

Where do we start. Our venue for our Friday, Saturday and Sunday events cancelled on us six weeks out, our bartenders sent our cake crashing to the ground and our florist really didn’t get it right. However, Morgan and company helped us manage all of it with grace and made the process as easy as possible on us. We felt incredibly grateful to have them be part of our day! They made the process much less stressful and the day of we could relax and know things were being taken care of. Exactly what we needed!! From literally chasing down our florist, her team having to come in hot with day of decor where the vendor messed up, to having to move our outdoor reception indoors due to unexpectedly cold weather, they never missed a beat. Looking back, it was a wonderful weekend with family and friends, and we could not recommend them more.

From planning, coordination with vendors, the exceptional timeline she created, etc., she was there every step of the way.

Words can't express how amazing Bre was to work with! Before I found Bre I was overwhelmed with ever aspect of wedding planning - I didn't even know where to start when it came to catering, flowers, signage, timelines, etc. Not only did she help this unorganized bride with planning an entire wedding, but she provided such comfort and ease for the actual wedding day. I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all.

Sabrina and Chelsea were a pleasure to work with since our very first call! After our intro call where we described our dream wedding, they gave us a list of recommended venues that was an immense help in our venue search. This was before we signed with them which I thought was very kind for them to do! They were very positive, friendly and patient with our many questions. We ended up doing the wedding management and tabletop design package. We worked closely with Sabrina throughout the planning and she is amazing! Always calm and reassuring that we were on track with planning. The team is super organized and also gave us planning tools like a checklist and budget tracker. Communication was always easy and I asked for monthly calls which helped a lot. The design process was fun and Sabrina was able to create our design plan based on our Pinterest board, as well as recommend vendors that fit our aesthetic. She even helped make our table signage! The day of went perfectly as planned and was absolutely beautiful! We were able to just show up without a worry! Our bridal party was also able to just enjoy the day since Lucky Day was handling everything. Sabrina and her assistant checked in with us throughout the wedding day and helped with my dress, shoes, and even had to go on the beach with us for photos. They set up all our extra decor and neatly packed everything at the end of the night so we didn’t forget anything. We had last minute changes to our schedule the week of and Sabrina was able to manage all our requests. We had our dream wedding come true and would highly recommend Lucky Day!

Where do I even begin? Liz is truly a one of a kind human being. I don’t think I could ever fully put into words how exceptional she is. Her warm, genuine personality, constant professionalism, and humble, grounded presence made every part of the planning process feel supported, organized, and despite my natural overthinking stress. We didn’t originally plan on hiring a wedding planner. But about nine months out, I quickly realized I needed help. Choosing Liz ended up being one of the best decisions we made. She guided us through every detail with ease and confidence. Not only did she help manage our entire wedding, but she also planned our honeymoon, which turned out to be beyond anything we ever could have imagined. One of our top activities in Aruba opened for reservations the day after our wedding, and Liz booked it immediately that morning to get us in. She booked all activities and restaurants for us. Anytime I had a question, which was often, she responded within minutes or simply called me. She made everything fun, approachable, and stress-free. She kept detailed tabs on every task and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. Even when I had the majority of vendors and plans in place, she refined everything with such precision. She understood my personality and how overwhelmed I can get, even when things are technically “done,” and she guided me through everything with patience and grace. The week of the wedding, she checked in frequently. On the day of, she was phenomenal. Every detail was set up exactly how we envisioned it. Labeling bins and décor helped her and her assistant move seamlessly, and I’m so grateful because she executed our entire moody/vintage aesthetic vision flawlessly. Two days before the wedding, when I couldn’t find greenery anywhere, Liz made one or two calls and found it instantly. I’ll never forget when I urgently needed our honeymoon flight information for our rental car info and she literally pulled over on the highway to send it to me. That is who she is, someone who goes above and beyond in ways most people wouldn’t even consider. Her pricing is more than fair, and her service is worth every single penny. Whether you need full-service planning or just check-ins, she adapts to exactly what you need. I had most things planned, but still had countless details and small several questions lol. No matter how minor or silly they felt, she always responded with kindness and expertise. Our FaceTime meetings became a highlight of the planning process. Occasionally, her pups or her daughter would pop into the frame, making everything feel personal-not like a business transaction, but like talking to a friend who genuinely cared about us and our day. Liz is an amazing planner, but she is an even better human. Humble, compassionate, creative, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable, especially with florals. I made my own centerpieces, and with her guidance, they turned out exactly how I imagined. Russell and I are endlessly grateful she was part of our wedding. I could cry thinking about how much she did for us. Liz, thank you for making our day perfect. Thank you for your dedication, your heart, your time, and your incredible talent. We truly could not have done any of this without you. No wedding turns out perfect, but everything Liz was involved with/in charge of - was. We are forever thankful for her.

We had the BEST time planning our wedding day with Magnolia Collective (MC). We unfortunately had some wedding venue "drama" along the way, and MC was so professional and helped address any concerns we had. I knew our wedding day was going to run like a well oiled machine, and I truly can't believe how perfect the day was.

I cannot imagine our day without the CRC team! We utilized coordination services for the last 4 months and I am SO thankful we had this incredible team. Jenna was always quick to respond and anticipated our needs. Jenna had a form to organize all of our thoughts and worked out the details to mean fewer vendor meetings on our end. She worked seamlessly with our vendors who continuously complimented her to my husband and I. Our guests have told us it was the most organized wedding they have ever been to! This team is clearly full of incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and, most importantly, kindhearted people who made it clear they were there for us and excited for us! Any fires that may have happened, Jenna put out without me even knowing.

We can’t thank Micah enough for guiding us through this wedding process! We booked her for the day of package, since I (bride) had a work history that overlapped with event decor. I can’t recommend booking her enough, even if you think you’ve “already got this”— she has a ton of insight and protected us from getting too stressed over anything. She went above and beyond her stated duties and we felt so fortunate. She held our hands when we needed it, but also gave us the flexibility and room to make our own creative decisions.

Every love story deserves a storyteller who gets it right. As your wedding planner, I don't just coordinate events – I translate the unique rhythm of your relationship into an unforgettable celebration. At the end of the day, your wedding isn't just about the perfect timeline or the pristine place settings – it's about celebrating your love story exactly the way you imagined it.

When we decided to host our wedding on our private land with a barn setting, I was convinced it would be a logistical nightmare. Sanjam proved me wonderfully wrong. She transformed what seemed like an impossible challenge into a seamless, magical celebration! Her expertise shone brightest in bringing our rustic venue to life. She navigated every complex detail with remarkable skill and creativity. From coordinating vendors to managing the unique challenges of an off-site barn location, she handled everything with professional grace and a lovely demeanor. We had a great experience!

With over 5 years of experience and 110+ weddings planned (and counting), I'm passionate about bringing each couple's vision to life. Whether you're dreaming of an intimate celebration or a large-scale event, I provide personalized planning and coordination to ensure your wedding day is seamless, stress-free, and uniquely yours. Let's create a wedding day you'll remember for a lifetime.

Working with Elise Murray was an absolute game-changer for our wedding planning process. From our first conversation, she responded quickly and made everything feel straightforward—no confusion or back-and-forth confusion that often comes with planning. What really set Elise apart was how she brought my Pinterest board to life while also making sure my husband felt like an equal partner in the process, which honestly doesn't happen at most weddings where the wife makes all the calls. I came to her with a very specific vision and demanding preferences, but instead of pushing back, she met every single one of my needs with incredible attention to detail and genuine pride in her work. The final result was colorful, thoughtful, and absolutely perfect. Elise treated our day like it was her own, and we couldn't be more grateful for the professionalism and care she brought to every decision.
