LoveLee Occassions

5.0

Northfield, MN
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Story City, IA

LoveLee Occasions is a wedding and event planning business that has grown from the love of celebrations; big or small. I, Christina, have had a passion for putting together events for family and friends throughout the years. Compelled to share my passion with those who needed an extra hand, weren't sure where to start, or just overwhelmed by it all. There is just something about the chaos of behind-the-scenes that I love and being able to do that for all humans, just fills my heart!

Awarded Best of Zola
Christina is a phenomenal wedding coordinator who always makes you feel like she has your back. On wedding day, she made sure to handle all of the chaos behind the scenes (I later found out she made several saves without me knowing!), all so that I could be present and enjoy the day. In the planning process, she worked to understand our vision for how we wanted the day to look/feel and she gave great recommendations. This is 100% her dream job and it shows – time and time again she went the extra mile for us! For example, we told her a few months before our wedding that we were considering a videographer, and she found several options for us within budget. When we told her we didn’t know what we wanted to do for music, and she provided us with several quotes for live music. In our month-before planning meeting she brought up a ton of questions that we had not thought of – and had all the solutions for us on deck! Just having a second eye on everything was well worth it – let alone the fact that she and her sister stayed until the very end of the night to make sure everything was put away securely. All in all, I can’t recommend LoveLee Occasions enough. Our day would not have come together like it did without her help!

Awarded Best of Zola
Elizabeth bliss events was the best day of coordinator. She came all the way to Nebraska to help us! She had several meetings with us beforehand and helped us figure out details like decor and food. We had our wedding in a barn so there was nothing in there and she set up all of our decor and tables as well as our entire ceremony. She made sure everything ran smoothly all day long and made my day so much less stressful. Do yourself a huge favor and get a day of coordinator. Also she is super reasonably priced especially for everything that she provides We loved working with her!

Cherish the Day

5.0

Tipton, IA
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Story City, IA

Welcome to Cherish the Day, you are in the right place! My name is Lisa Syring and planning/coordinating your dream day is my game, no need to look any further. Having a Certified Wedding Planner in your back pocket is a great gift you can give to yourself and then wonder how you thought you could manage without me. Lead me to your dream day and I will execute every detail (plus more)! I love to remind my couples if, at the end of your dream day you are married to your best friend, all we did was a success!! My couples entrust in us and execution is key to us.

We could not recommend Cherish the Day enough!! I’ve been raving to anyone who asks—and even those who don’t—about working with Lisa. I initially started looking for “Day Of” coordinators when Lisa presented her “Month Of” package. It was the perfect amount of help for someone who was willing to do all of the legwork of finding and selecting vendors and just wanted assistance with the communication and execution once it was closer to the wedding date. We met with Lisa over a year before the wedding just so we could talk about our vision for our wedding and to see what areas we might need help in. She gave vendor recommendations when needed and made sure I had checklists to stay on track with booking everything. With her experience, she asked us questions about things we didn’t even realize we need to consider and gave suggestions if we were struggling. The best part was that she handled all of the vendor communication in the month leading up to the wedding, and she built the most detailed timeline for us (bridal party and vendors) to follow. My goal was to have someone that any and all questions could be directed to so that I didn’t have to add any stress—Lisa was that person and so, so much more. Both Lisa and her assistant (there on the day of) are amazing to work with—so personal and professional at the same time and there every step of the day. Cherish the Day is truly one of the best investments we made for our wedding!!

The Yellow Rose Weddings + Events is a unique and intentional planning collective based in North Carolina. We are your planning BFFs: not only a breath of fresh air, but a fount of knowledge and creativity.

Awarded Best of Zola
I used The Yellow Rose Weddings’ month of coordination package. Isabel always had a can-do approach, positive attitude, and was super resourceful and creative. This was crucial for our non-traditional venue. We chose an old warehouse and Isabel in her team helped turn it into a truly beautiful and personalized space. She helped me with my vision, and then totally brought it to life! We felt extremely taken care of on our wedding day and all of her staff were attentive and helpful. A service! Things will always go wrong on a wedding day, but TYR team was always calm and professional and handled anything that came up super efficiently and quickly (nothing major happened, everything just seems like a big deal in the moment). Planning my wedding was the hardest thing I have ever done, but TYR team ALWAYS had my back. Highly recommend!!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Morgan in person and was genuinely taken aback by how wonderful she is.

April Hertz Coordination Services

Hudsonville, MI
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Story City, IA for additional fees

Weddings can be overwhelming, but at April Hertz Coordination Services, we truly understand the stress that comes with planning and executing your special day. Our goal is to lighten your load, allowing you to fully focus on marrying the love of your life. Trust us to handle all the coordination and planning services, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience for you.

April is an exceptionally kind person who goes above and beyond for her brides and truly becomes a sounding board and friend throughout your planning process. She navigated an Indian-Western cultural fusion wedding, family dynamics, and eight days of events across two states, even flying to North Carolina because we saw how much we needed her when we did our MI wedding. Without a doubt she added so much to our event in terms of putting my mind at ease and as someone who doesn't trust others with her details easily, I found April was well worth the investment. We're already planning to reach out to April for a future vow renewal and have recommended her to friends and family!

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

Audrei was so attentive to what we wanted our big day to look like. She was the coordinator the day of our wedding and I don’t know that I could have found anyone better to ensure my vision was kept and everything ran smoothly.

From beginning to end, our team approaches every moment with you in mind. We stand by the belief that no occasion is too big or too small to be handled the utmost level of care and professionalism. Memories and love last a lifetime.

Jacki and her team are simply fabulous! There is so much more to hair and makeup services than simply making you look and feel your best, though they will do that too! Just as important is Jacki's understanding of wedding days and special events, their timelines, working with other vendors as a team, and how best to be able to touch up your makeup throughout the day (esp those lips!) and making sure you look fresh! She takes care to listen to her clients' needs rather than choosing what style to use. Jacki is just one of the kindest, most lighthearted and fun wedding professionals out there. She would be a great addition to your wedding team and be an amazing way to start your day!

I had SSE & their Pine Wedding Management package but I wish I would’ve hired them for more. I am a professional photographer and worked with them as a vendor first and KNEW I had to have them on my side when I got married!! Their professionalism and organization is top tier. The SSE team was incredible with contact before and on my wedding, planning, organizing, setting up, and running the whole thing. They have helpful tips and recommendations on anything your wedding day may need and will help with it all. They made my brunch wedding day come true, kept everything on time while also being kind, professional, and FUN with all our guests and family! They were there from start to finish with smiles on their faces. I recommend this team to any bride & groom with full confidence every time!
