    Can I give a 10 out of 5 for service

    Working with Momente Frumoase was a game-changer for our wedding planning. They responded to every email and question within minutes, which made us feel heard and supported throughout the entire process. Their team kept everything organized and straightforward, breaking down each step so we always knew what was happening next. They nailed the details without overcomplicating things, and their pricing was transparent from start to finish. On our wedding day, all of that clean planning paid off—everything ran smoothly and our guests had an amazing time. We'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for planners who actually listen and deliver.

    Working with Momente Frumoase was a game-changer for our wedding planning. From our first conversation, they struck the perfect balance between being approachable about budget and maintaining serious professionalism throughout the entire process. What impressed us most was how they never missed a beat—every little detail was handled with care, from the timeline to vendor coordination to the day-of execution. They kept us informed without overwhelming us, and their logical approach to problem-solving gave us peace of mind. On our wedding day, it was clear how much thought and effort they'd put into making everything run smoothly.

The quality of their work was tremendous, fabulous, and wonderful. They never skipped a beat, ensuring our special day was filled with joy, love, and unforgettable moments. Silvu D.J. Ehlert, in particular, is an absolute gem. His passion for creating beautiful, personalized weddings shines through every detail, and he truly listened to and understood our vision, bringing it to life. Silvu is also incredibly supportive of LGBTQIA couples, making everyone feel welcome. If you want a planner who goes above and beyond, Silvu and Momente Frumoase are your people. I can't recommend them enough!

Clients at Momente Frumoase typically engage with their wedding planner for about 20 to 35 hours in total.

On the wedding day, planners are present for 8 to 12 hours to ensure seamless execution, and a post-wedding follow-up meeting or call of 1 to 2 hours wraps up any remaining details. This collaborative approach guarantees a memorable and elegant wedding experience.
