“Ally was without a doubt the most important piece to our wedding!! She was so important during the planning process and brought up so many good tips and tricks I would never have thought about. She gave us a perfect timeline to work from and allowed us to go about our day blissfully happy while keeping us on track with everything we had planned. We had a lot of moving parts on our day including lots of DIY decor, desserts, flowers as well as setting up a champagne tower and coordinating our guests here and there for our first dance on an outside dock - she made it all happen! She also coordinated everything with the vendors and took a huge load of the work off of me. I’m sure she put out a lot of fires we never even knew existed. She seamlessly set up the reception of my dreams and broke it all down following the reception. She quite honestly had our backs throughout the whole process and was so down to earth and extremely nice/fun/easy to work with! On top of it all, she took beautiful pictures and videos of the reception all set up as well as our first dances with our parents! None of our guests took videos of our dances and it would have been heartbreaking not to have them! She seriously thought of it all - do NOT hesitate to hire Jovial! We couldn’t have done it without her!!”

I had the pleasure of working with Trinity Griffin Events (TGE) for day-of coordination at my wedding last October, and the experience was outstanding. My primary coordinator was Nikki, with Trinity serving as my secondary coordinator—both were incredible.

Christine was so open and kind and highly experienced and knowledgeable. When it was trying to help us narrow down where we would want our destination wedding, Christine would come up with these different venues, detailing information on budget, location, website, links, and information that would help us narrow down our selection.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Rachel was *the biggest* gift to our wedding day. Throughout the entire planning, preparation, and coordination process she maintained clear and honest communication, organization, and style I never had a single doubt that we weren’t on the same page with the vision of the day. Showing up to the venue the day of our wedding, seeing how perfectly she executed our vision, was like a deep breath for all the cells in my body. Rachel was consistently on board with all of the small silly details we insisted on, and centered our priorities to ensure we didn’t exhaust ourselves with things that didn’t matter. Having her aware and gracefully reactive to all of our needs, my parents needs, and the needs of our guests, lifted so much potential stress and allowed us, and especially our parents, to relax and enjoy the day.

“We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!”

When we had to execute said rain plan, she delivered. She helped with set up, decoration, timeline management, vendor management, guest experience, and more!

I help brides bring their wedding vision to life — starting with the very first thing guests will hold in their hands. With 18 years of experience in the wedding industry, I specialize in guiding couples through the invitation design process from concept to finished suite, whether that's a fully custom design built around your aesthetic or a semi-custom look that feels just as personal. Based in Idaho and serving brides nationwide, I know how much the details matter — and I'm here to make sure yours are exactly right.

“We hired Anthology Print several years ago to print our wedding invitations through. We printed multiple sizes and numbers of invites between the wedding announcement, luncheon invite, and temple rsvp. They all turned out beautifully and were delivered quickly. I made sure to keep a handful for my own memories and the quality is unmatched - they still look like the day they were mailed out. If you want a team that will help with design and printing, you've found them!”

“Amanda and the team at Signed Sealed Delieved Events were truly the reason our wedding day felt so seamless and stress free. While the planning support was wonderful, it was on the actual wedding day where Amanda’s expertise, organization, and calming presence absolutely shined. From the moment the day began, she stepped in and took care of everything. She managed the timeline flawlessly, coordinated with vendors, answered questions, guided our wedding party, and handled all of the little behind the scenes details that could have easily become overwhelming. Because of her, we did not have to worry about a single logistical thing. We were able to be fully present, soak in every moment, and truly enjoy our wedding day with our family and friends.

The Binder Co. was founded by Kimiloluwa Fafowora, a designer and brand strategist with over a decade of experience across e-commerce, tech, and creative industries. We bring that same rigor to every wedding we design: sharp creative direction paired with structured vendor briefs, timelines, and active coordination with your vendor team from concept through execution. Fully virtual, working with couples nationwide, we stay involved through the logistics that bring the vision to life. If you're drawn to editorial, elevated design with hands-on support behind it, we'd love to hear about your day.

“When we got engaged, we knew we wanted our farm wedding to feel editorial and polished, but we had no idea how to pull it off. The Binder Co. stepped in and made it all come together. From our first conversation, the team was professional and kind, making us feel heard every step of the way. They understood who we were as a couple and wove that into every detail. From the florals to the ceremony setup to how the day flowed. Their creative eye and thoughtful approach transformed our vision into something we didn't even know was possible. We can't thank them enough for making our day feel like it came straight out of a magazine.”
