We were absolutely thrilled with the level of service and attention to detail provided by Blue Magnolia Weddings! Communication was very thorough, and Deidra went over the top in terms of quality of work. She made sure we were hydrated while taking pictures after the ceremony since it was hot outside. Secondly, we made a last minute change of giving Jenny's bouquet to her mother which Deidra promptly arranged and made sure it went smoothly. I'd highly recommend hiring them for your wedding, our special day was stress-free and everyone had a great experience.

I can’t say enough about the incredible experience I had working with Brenna and Molly from Wild Rose Planning Events. Brenna was my primary planner, and we opted for their full-service package, which was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. From day one, Brenna was on top of everything – even with the small but essential details like parts of our invites, menus, and custom signage. She truly went above and beyond, bringing a personal touch and creative flair that made our wedding so special. Brenna and Molly brought so much creativity to the planning process. They even used their Cricut to add those perfect handcrafted details that made everything feel unique to us. I had a few items I wanted from Pinterest, and Brenna took care of all the ordering, handling all the specifics with the vendors. Every time I reached out, she was quick to respond, making me feel reassured and at ease throughout what could have been a stressful process. Something especially unique about Brenna is that she went above and beyond, working closely with a travel advisor to plan my entire three-week honeymoon abroad. She handled every detail, from flights and accommodations to curated experiences that made our honeymoon an unforgettable extension of our wedding celebration. Her dedication to planning every part of this experience truly blew me away, and I felt completely cared for even after the wedding day was over. Planning an out-of-town wedding could have been a logistical nightmare, but Brenna and Molly made it seamless. Their network of vendors is outstanding, and I felt so comfortable knowing they had connections with everyone from florists to photographers. On the big day, every vendor seemed genuinely excited to work with them, creating a lively, positive atmosphere that elevated our celebration even more. We got married at Top of the Rock at Big Cedar Lodge, a dream venue. Thanks to Wild Rose, I was able to have a hands-off experience for what is normally a hands-on process. Running my own small business, I know how important it is to have reliable partners, and Wild Rose Planning Events delivered every step of the way. They made it possible for me to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day, knowing every detail was flawlessly handled. Wild Rose Planning Events came highly recommended by a friend, and now I see why. Brenna and Molly have such a great reputation, and it’s well-deserved. They went above and beyond, making my dream wedding come to life, and I feel like I gained two friends in the process. If you’re looking for a team that is dedicated, creative, and genuinely invested in making your day special, I wholeheartedly recommend Wild Rose Planning Events. They made our wedding and honeymoon dreams come true, and I am forever grateful!

If there is one piece of advice I can give to engaged couples, it’s to hire Rach and the Whatever is Lovely team. I have been trying to write this review for months now and have struggled because words can’t describe how amazing Rach is and how grateful we are to have had her plan our wedding. To start, Rach is the nicest, kindest, and most caring person you’ll ever meet. She is truly one of my favorite people. From the moment we met her she had our best interests at heart. Rach didn’t try to sell us on hiring her or on spending more money on a different package - she wanted to make sure we found the right planning fit. Rach made the planning process SO much easier. Rach sent us monthly to do’s which kept us on track. She helped us build the most wonderful team of vendors; we had the most amazing team and that is all thanks to Rach. She got to know our taste for each vendor category and sent us a few options to consider - this made the process of narrowing down vendors in a big city so much easier and less overwhelming. Rach was always so speedy to respond to our many questions and put up with all our many anxieties. I was quite the anxious bride and Rach was always there to calm my anxieties and always knew exactly what to say. She literally picked me up when I was down - literally, she helped me up when I tripped on my dress! Our wedding day was the best day of our lives. It was more than perfect. I honestly can’t take much credit for how perfect it was, because it was all because of Rach. I can’t give Rach and her team enough thanks or enough praise for making our wedding so beautiful and fun. I didn’t have to worry about anything on our wedding day. Rach and her team took care of everything. They told us where to be and when. I barely had to lift a finger because someone was there to do anything for me. We received so many compliments from our wedding party, friends, and family about how wonderful Rach was and how seamless our wedding day was. I cannot say enough good things about Rach. She is wonderful and amazing at her job. If you’re looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator, look no further than Rach and Whatever is Lovely! I cannot recommend them enough!

Whether it was the late-night ramen bar, hand-folded origami flowers, or engraved chopsticks as gift favors, Marissa ensured these touches were integrated tastefully and seamlessly. She respected our vision and made sure everything looked elegant and fun. On the day of our wedding, Marissa went out of her way to show up for us and make the experience unforgettable. We are incredibly grateful for everything Marissa did for us, and we will undoubtedly recommend her to all our friends and family.

From weddings, fundraisers to private parties we have planned it all. We can’t wait to meet you and get starting planning your next event.

I would not have enjoyed peace of mind on my wedding day if it weren’t for Kristen! She had everything taken care from the timeline of events to help decorating and ensured we stayed on time throughout the whole day. I appreciate so much her organization, consistent communication and calmness! The meetings leading up to the wedding were organized and quick - she had everything ready to discuss and we always left with a couple things to accomplish or nail down before the next. I could not have imagined my wedding go as smooth as it did without all her help! Highly recommend her services!

Let's talk wedding planning. It can feel stressful handling a potentially large investment all the while you navigate social norms and your own expectations. You might be asking yourself questions like, "How much should something like that cost? How will it all come together? Am I on track with my time and my money?". These are questions we can answer, as well as hundreds of others that are bound to arise. We can talk budgets, timelines, Vendor selection, and design elements. Don't do it alone, let us make it easy!

Megan was absolutely fantastic. My husband and I were so relieved when we found her on Zola and hired her to help coordinate our wedding. Megan was organized, friendly, kind, patient, and fun. She was absolutley incredible to work with, and I cannot recommend her and Heidi enough. Megan, thank you for all you did to make our wedding day the best day ever!
