“Where do we even begin- We hired the Opal Affair for wedding Day of Coordination and it was by far the best choice (and money) for our wedding day- Kirsten and Katy made it the absolute best day of our lives!! In the year of planning whenever I had a timeline questions, Kirsten was so quick and helpful in responding and then in the month and week prior to wedding day, she stepped in and took over vendor comms and made sure all the little details that made the day unique and personalized were covered. We had Katy onsite with us and from rehearsal to day of, she helped keep things running smoothly, made sure the bar didn’t run dry and stepped in when health emergencies demanded action and took charge. We so appreciate the Opal Affair going above and beyond for us and our guests- They gave my husband & I such peace of mind that all the details were covered and we couldn’t have done it without you! Truly the most magical day and all thanks to The Opal Affair team!”

“Applause to you if you are a DIY person who wants such a wedding. In our family, however, we run high in terms of anxiousness, and when our bride and groom were states away leading up to the wedding day, we needed a different approach. Choosing RSVP Events was exactly what we needed! Adrien Harding of RSVP Events fulfilled all our asks and then thought of things we could not think of ourselves. She curated a list of fantastic vendors to meet our wishes and constraints (aka, our budget). She brought a wealth of nuanced advice for the “tricky-ness” which, we all know, is associated with wedding events. We were so well cared for throughout our wedding planning journey, we could be fully present with each other, especially on the wedding day. You may think a wedding planner is a superfluous cost, but we think it allowed us to not only pull off a big event, but delight in it as well. We have not stopped smiling as we think back to all we were able to enjoy because we hired RSVP Events!”

“Cora and Morgan did a phenomenal job of organizing our wedding and keeping the day itself on track. In the month leading up to the wedding, Cora asked key questions about the ceremony and reception that we wouldn't have even thought of on our own. Whenever little hiccups or problems arose on the big day, they were quick to fix the issue and didn't bring it to our attention (I only know this because we were taking photos and I overheard Cora actively solving an issue with guest meals). The prepared timeline was very helpful, and they did an amazing job of not only keeping events on-time, but also interfacing in a polite and professional manner with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. We would highly recommend Blissfully Organized Events if you are looking for a coordinator on your wedding day!”
