She took everything in no matter how much I was confused and nervous throughout the process because of course this is a once in a lifetime experience. She took everything I said and made it beautiful! I sent her a super long poem to read for the ceremony and the delivery of it was everything I ever would want on our very special day.

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on. I cannot recommend Steph enough. She is wonderful and sweet and kind and I cannot believe I found her! We could not have done it without her.

I entered the Event planning market seven years ago through catering and setting up for events. I quickly learned that I loved being by the bride and groom throughout the entire event and watching their special day come to life. Getting to know the couple through the entire process and watching their dreams evolve into the wedding of their dreams stole my heart. It’s my pursuit to take all the stress off your plate and help you build the event of a lifetime. I truly want to become your best friend, go to person, planner, and even a punching bag when things just might not be going well that day, throughout the entire process

My daughter and I hired Chloe Deal to be our onsite day-of wedding planner and she was excellent before, during and after the big day! Pre-wedding, we had two zoom meetings to review what the plans were and what she would be doing to oversee it all. Chloe's communication assured us all the details would be completely taken care of on wedding day. The day of the wedding, we had a big surprise. An unexpected storm whipped up just as we were about to begin the outdoor ceremony. Chloe and her assistant quickly rallied to make last minute adjustments moving tables and displays under the reception tent, coordinating with the vendors on the change of plans and remained calm throughout it all. After a bit of insanity as our guests ran from the outdoor ceremony into the tent, Chloe and her assistant went into overdrive drying off chairs and getting them moved into the reception area which was a huge undertaking. The groomsmen were supposed to help but they were the only ones not under umbrellas and were absolutely soaked. Chloe easily helped guests find their seats and kept us all on schedule with the reception events of introductions, dances, happy hour, dinner, cake cutting, send off photos etc. Post wedding, we had to be all cleaned up by 9am the next day so the night of the wedding, Chloe and her assistant moved heavy tree log displays back to the woods, put everything that we needed to save into our cars or the locked space until we could pick it up the next day. Chloe's performance as our wedding planner was truly impressive as she thought of every detail and despite the unexpected weather, my daughter and son-in-law had a truly magical day complete with double rainbows! I would highly recommend her services to any bride and groom to-be!

Her recommendations for vendors were completely on point - with respect to both budget and personality. She was great at guiding us through what questions to ask of the venue and thought about everything we would never have thought to ask. However, day-of was really where she shown. She handled so many issues that we had no idea were even happening. We had such a blast at our wedding and so much of that was due to Clarice!

As soon as we book, you will be comforted knowing I'm already planning all of those little details and will keep you updated along the way!

She is such a warm and genuine person and made our wedding run perfectly! Heather was also so communicative with us (quick with replies!), and seamlessly handled all of the vendor coordinating for the day of our wedding. She also offered to join us for our food and cake tasting to be a 'fly on the wall' and take notes during the meetings so we could be fully present. A small detail, but it felt like she was going above and beyond as just our wedding day coordinator. I sought Heather's advice many times throughout the wedding planning process and she was so quick to get back to me with her unbiased opinion allowing me to really rely on her for support through the months leading up to the wedding. The day of our wedding went perfectly. If anything went wrong, we didn't know about it! I dumped a lot of decor / signage /etc. on Heather the day before the wedding and she did a perfect job setting everything up exactly as I envisioned! We couldn't recommend Heather enough!
