Originally, I didn't think I needed a coordinator, but after some issues with my venue, I am so glad I changed my mind and decided I needed help and went with Katelynn! Not only was she incredibly thorough with her questions and scheduling, but she was so kind and compassionate! She instantly understood our vision for the wedding and I always felt like she was advocating for us! The week leading up to my wedding was one of the LEAST stressful times in my life and the only reason I was able to enjoy time with my family and friends was because I knew Katelynn was working behind the scenes, making sure everything went off without a hitch!

Soul Agave Proposal + Wedding Planning

5.0

Apache Junction, AZ
  • Offers 6 services
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA for additional fees

Congratulations! You’re making the leap! If you’re here, it’s because you’re ready to tie the (k)not. So exciting -and nerve-wracking, too! If you’re going to pop the question, it has to go RIGHT. The only surprise should be the one that makes your future spouse scream YES! And a cookie-cutter proposal just won’t do. After all, no two love affairs are alike - and proposals shouldn’t be either. If you’re planning a wedding, you know it’s not the kind of event you should entrust to just anyone. You might have a vision and just don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’re so excited you can’t think straight. Either way, you’re in the right place.

This woman was money best spent and the most affordable. She deserved way more than any other vendor/venue/etc!! She is so on top of her game, keeps people and boundaries in line all while commanding respect from everyone. She goes above and beyond, knows all the vendors and anyone who can make your wedding dreams come true. I will forever prop this gal up and be her number 1 fan, my wedding could not have happened without her!!

We hired Michelle to be our day of coordinator for our wedding at the Madonna Inn. Her and her husband were so important in making sure the day went smoothly, while allowing us to fully enjoy the day because we knew they had it taken care of. Michelle hired additional people to help set up our reception space in the short 1.5 hour time slot allotted for setup. She found a way to make sure our room was stocked with in-n-out burgers for the after party. She convinced the venue to let us dance for an extra half hour, and much more. We are so glad we had her there to make sure everything went well behind the scenes.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first meeting with Shaymah, we felt an overwhelming sense of trust and confidence. Beyond her professional expertise, Shaymah took the time to genuinely get to know us and our love story, which added a deeply personal touch to every aspect of our wedding day. Her expertise, dedication, and passion for her work were evident in every interaction. Shaymah displayed incredible foresight, setting up a rain plan that ensured our wedding would be beautiful, rain or shine. Her meticulous nature was evident when she obtained insurance documentation from each vendor, leaving no room for unforeseen issues. The detailed floor plan and the comprehensive task checklist she provided not only guided us in the lead-up to our wedding but also served as a testament to her thoroughness. Shaymah crafted an individualized itinerary tailored to our unique vision for the day, and proactively shared this with all vendors to ensure a harmonized and seamless execution. What we particularly appreciated was Shaymah's commitment to regular meetings, ensuring we were always on the same page. Her recommendations for vendors were invaluable, introducing us to professionals who matched our vision and expectations. On our wedding day, Shaymah was nothing short of exceptional. Every event, from the ceremony to the reception, flowed effortlessly under her watchful eye. Shaymah expertly coordinated our ceremony rehearsal, ensuring everyone was well-prepared, and then masterfully managed the actual ceremony, ensuring every moment unfolded exactly as envisioned. Her constant communication with us throughout the day reassured us that everything was under control, allowing us to truly soak in and enjoy every moment. Shaymah's adaptability in the face of unforeseen circumstances was exemplified when the ice cream truck mistakenly went to the wrong venue; she swiftly coordinated with them, ensuring they reached the correct location without a hitch. Additionally, Shaymah displayed tremendous thoughtfulness by ensuring all our gifts were safely secured and put away after the festivities, giving us one less thing to worry about. To say Shaymah went above and beyond is an understatement. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to any couple in search of a wedding coordinator who truly understands the intricacies and emotions behind a wedding. Thank you, Shaymah Ansari, for making our day genuinely magical!

Amaka and her team took over like we wanted and literally covered everything. The best part was how they helped us save tons of money on our wedding. Don't be hesitant in booking. Book them with confidence and I promise you will not be disappointed. Everything about your wedding will scream luxury and will be well organized. The price you pay is well worth it Somehow they found a way to even get my husband involved in the planning process because Amaka made it a fun process. She also gave us a planning book to help keep track and our own personalized google sheet that literally had everything including our guest list and how everyone would be seated. Amaka was always available when needed and if she wasn't, she delegated someone else. My husband and I loved attending vendor visits with her and she would always offer to treat us to lunch/dinner whenever we had appts. They went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure the wedding was blissful. I recommended her to a friend who has a destination wedding next year and they are already in love. A planning company that knows what they're doing, very honest with you rather than telling you what you want to hear and extremely resourceful. We also got to save on decor because they provided rentals since we booked the full service planning and Amaka with giving us tips on how to save on decor. We wanted them to actually do the decor :-( but they couldn't at that time and was honest about it. However, I am excited about ariscreationz doing the decor for my friend's wedding.
