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.

“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.

“Working with Dana and her team at Thyme & Details was such a relief from start to finish. We hired Thyme & Details late in the game for our wedding- about 4 months out when we realized we couldn't pull off the wedding we wanted by ourselves. She responded to every question right away and gave us thoughtful answers that showed they really understood what we wanted for our day. Her vendor recommendations are top notch and her relationships with vendors around the city made the booking processes much quicker and often more affordable. What impressed us most was how organized everything was behind the scenes. Dana & team solved every problem so quickly that we didn't even realize anything had gone wrong. Her depth of experience & knowledge really shows- from timelines to vendor negotiation. On our wedding day, Dana & her team stayed calm and joyful the entire time, which made us feel comfortable and excited instead of stressed. Her personal touch and attention to detail showed in every part of our celebration, and we felt like our wedding was truly ours. We can't recommend Thyme & Details enough to couples looking for a planner who genuinely cares and knows how to get to execute flawlessly.

“When my partner and I started planning our small/medium wedding, we were sure we could do it all on our own. One location, short ceremony, limited guest list, buffet dinner. But as planning moved forward, we realized that we simply couldn’t do it all AND still really relish and enjoy our day together with all of our friends and family. Mallory and her wife were fantastic in filling those shoes so that we could have the intimate, special day we dreamed of. Mallory’s attention to detail kept problems from happening before we could even realize. From decor assistance, to timeline management, to behind the scenes clean up, she was always on top of it. When my feet were tired on the dance floor and I kicked my heels off, she already had back up sandals on standby! We so appreciate her coming from out of town and keeping our vendors, families, and ourselves organized and feeling our best so that we could get the most out of our day!”

Her team handled a ton of vendor coordination and helped us finalize all the little details before the wedding, so that it was so lovely to be able to just enjoy our wedding day and know that she had all the details covered. We didn’t do a formal run-through of the ceremony with our full bridal party, so she helped to organize everyone to know their roles and places too.

Neither of us had any idea what we were doing with regard to planning a wedding and Rachelle didn't hesitate to organize us beautifully and answer every question or scenario we needed help with. She was so kind in every interaction and even made my now husband feel like absolutely everything was taken care of! The wedding weekend went phenomenally all thanks to her. Nathan and I had the most beautiful and blessed day thanks to all of her attention to detail and care for us both. She even caught some incredible picture moments!

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.

“I had the pleasure of working with Roselynn for the florals for her wedding in March of 2026, and I highly recommend working with her! She has an excellent attention to detail and she is very good at visualizing and communicating her ideas and vision. Her notes were very clear on how she wanted everything to look when it was set up, and she created a clear timeline that was easy for us to follow on the day of the wedding. Roselynn is very kind, easy to talk to, and exceedingly pleasant to work with. We were in constant communication up to the date of the wedding, discussing any potential changes, sharing thoughts and ideas, and working together to ensure a smooth set up and tear down. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Roselynn, and she will absolutely do a fantastic job helping to plan and coordinate any wedding!”

“Words truly can't describe how fitting the name "Joyful Moments by Marissa" is. We originally hired Marissa as our day-of coordinator for the reception, but from the start she was willing to do so much more. She was there for our rehearsal, helped organize our ceremony, decorated the reception space, and constantly went above and beyond anything we expected. What really amazed us was when our original reception venue unexpectedly closed just a few weeks before our wedding. Marissa immediately jumped in and helped us find a new venue that fit both our vision and our budget. In a moment that felt incredibly stressful, she made us feel completely supported. Marissa has such a laid-back, calming presence, which made the entire process so much more enjoyable. No matter what came up, she made everything feel manageable and kept us focused on celebrating our day. Not only did we feel special, but our guests did too. We received so many compliments about how beautiful everything was and how authentically "us" the day felt. Thank you, Marissa, for helping us fully embrace our culture, our family, and our friends throughout the entire process. Before hiring Marissa, we prayed for a guardian angel to help guide us through wedding planning, and that's exactly what we got. We truly can't recommend her enough. She made the whole experience so enjoyable that we'd do it all over again in a heartbeat!”

Stellaluna Events was born out of a passion for creating fulfilling experiences, and we strive to curate celebrations that bring about feelings of comfort and belonging. We don't believe weddings are about choosing certain decor just because it's trendy or overspending to impress your guests. Your wedding or event should be about gathering a group of your favorite people together to celebrate. It's about making a meaningful memory to treasure for the rest of your life. We love couples who throw out tradition. Let us encourage you to do it differently.

“I can’t express enough how grateful I am for Hannah!! When we found ourselves in a bit of a last-minute scramble, she stepped in with grace and an incredible sense of calm. From the very first moment, Hannah took our stress away and turned our vision into a beautiful reality, far beyond what we could have ever imagined. She not only embraced our ideas but enhanced them with her own creativity and attention to detail, making our wedding day truly magical. Every detail felt perfectly aligned with our vision, showing how deeply she understood and cared about what we wanted. It was like having a friend who just got us, making sure everything was exactly as we hoped. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day extraordinary, look no further. We couldn’t have done it without Hannah and we will be forever grateful for her kindness and commitment. Thank you so much for turning our dreams into reality and for making our wedding day unforgettable. We can’t recommend you highly enough!”
