My goal is to make the planning process enjoyable and to craft an event that truly reflects you.

Working with Athena was truly a pleasure from start to finish. She is an exceptional planner who brings clarity, organization, and energy to every part of the day. The timeline she provided was clear and well thought out, leaving no room for confusion. She kept us in the loop with any updates or special requests from the couple, which made the entire process seamless. What we appreciated most was how she structured the day in a way that allowed everything to flow smoothly without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming for both the couple and us as the photo and video team. That balance is so important, and she nailed it. On top of her planning skills, her energy was simply unmatched. Even after eight full hours, she remained enthusiastic and uplifting, hyping up the crowd, encouraging fellow vendors, and maintaining such a positive atmosphere throughout the entire event. It made the day not only enjoyable but truly memorable. We would absolutely love the opportunity to work with her again. She’s a gem in this industry!

Listen, there's a reason why they call her the Wedding Day Fairy Godmother! I can't fully put into words how amazing Evelyn and her entire team is. They are organized, kind, friendly and resourceful; everything you need by your side on your wedding day! My shoes broke- Evelyn had flip-flops I could wear. My bridesmaids dress got wrinkled in transport- Evelyn had a steamer to take care of it. My MIL's dress strap snapped off- Evelyn had a sewing kit. This team did not miss a beat! Everything was better than I ever could have imagined and I couldn't have done any of it without her and her team. Hire them, they are worth their weight in gold and the peace of mind they bring is priceless

Hi, I’m Morgan! Thank you so much for being here. I am the Owner and Lead Planner of MBK Events. Let’s get straight to it - I freaking love love and I love planning. I swear, celebrating love, planning events, and getting to meet new people is my specialty. While planning my own wedding, I realized that so many Brides are not enjoying the process - so, that's where I plan to step in! I officially launched my business in October of 2021 so I can help other brides execute, plan, style and enjoy the wedding planning process. It is the most magical time of your life so lets make sure it feels magical all the way to the big day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to start, as this review could be an entire essay— to put it simply, Morgan is the best. And that is truly not an exaggeration. We scheduled our first call with Morgan before we had any plan for our wedding. There was no date, no venue, no idea of what the day would look like. The second we spoke to her, we knew we had to work with her, and that everything else would fall into place from there. She kept everything with all of our vendors organized and communicated with all of them so we didn’t have to stress about a thing. Any hiccup or challenging moment we had, she solved. She built the perfect timeline, kept everyone on track, and made the planning process feel way easier than we expected. People were constantly asking us how stressful wedding planning was, and it truly was not at all, because of Morgan. And then came the wedding day… with rain. But Morgan handled everything so beautifully. She pivoted, problem-solved, kept me calm, and made sure the day turned out 10x more beautiful than we could have imagined. Her and her team were always two steps ahead. Morgan made sure we could actually enjoy our wedding, and we did not have to manage any details that day. This was all amazing! But what I find truly so special about Morgan is all the things that I didn’t expect when working with a wedding planner. The things people don’t see… her calming me down as I cried minutes before the ceremony (because I was delusional and for some reason thought it wouldn’t rain), her reapplying my lipstick, holding my dress while I peed, putting deodorant on me midway through the night, keeping drinks in our hands, so we could spend time with our guests, making sure we actually sat down and ate, taking my extensions out when I was ready for my hair to go up, I could go on and on. During all of that she was managing every bump in the road that occurred- problems that Riley and I will never even know about because she handled them for us. And beyond all this, Morgan is truly the kindest person. We felt like we had a friend holding our hand through our entire planning process. We were sad when our monthly meetings came to an end; she was such an important part of our lives for over a year. She brings energy, fun, love, and thoughtfulness to everything she touches. We are so grateful to have met Morgan, the wedding planner, and the person.

We cannot express enough gratitude and admiration for Ashley from Rose Events, who made Anne and Michael’s wedding at Oceanview Hot Tubs in Shelter Cove absolutely unforgettable. From the moment Ashley reached out about our wedding venue, and we began planning, Ashley's professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity stood out. Ashley seamlessly blended the natural beauty of Shelter Cove with Anne and Michael’s vision, creating an ambiance that was both elegant and deeply personal. From the delicate floral arrangements to the perfectly timed schedule, every detail was thoughtfully executed. The stunning outdoor setup complemented the breathtaking ocean views, and Ashley ensured that everything flowed smoothly, allowing the couple and their guests to fully enjoy the day. One of Ashley’s greatest strengths is her ability to handle every aspect of the event with grace and calmness. Whether it was coordinating with vendors, managing last-minute adjustments, or making sure every guest felt welcome, she made it all look effortless. Her dedication and passion for her work truly shine through. Anne and Michael’s wedding was nothing short of magical, and so much of that is thanks to Ashley’s expertise. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day extraordinary, Ashley from Rose Events is the one to call. We highly recommend her and look forward to seeing her bring more dreams to life!

All couples need Dana and her team with Thyme & Details for their big day. We hired Dana as a day of coordinator but she is so much more than that. She went to countless vendor meeting and kept track of all of my overly detailed instructions to make sure each piece of our day (timeline, vendor contracts, etc) worked with those details. When the venue dropped the ball, others got details wrong, or vendors fell through, Dana was always a step ahead and came up with even better solutions than our original plans. Dana really knows the ins and outs of organizing a wedding, is in tune with the Columbus wedding scene, and has incredibly valuable connections. Overall we were blown away by Dana and her team’s professionalism and dedication to our wedding. Dana’s communications were always prompt, detailed, and thorough every step of the way, making the planning process a breeze. She lead our rehearsal too which is exactly what we needed. Her team also went above and beyond the day-of to ensure every aspect of our special day was executed flawlessly. We cannot recommend Dana and her team highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding planning team that will truly make their day unforgettable. Could not imagine our day without her!

My wife and I were able to find the most perfect venue to celebrate our special day at Black Oak Mountain vineyards. This is where we were introduced to Sandra and we couldn’t have hit more of a home run with her as our wedding planner. We didn’t fully understand what it took to plan a wedding and I can confidently say we would’ve been completely lost without Sandra. She is detail oriented, creative, proactive, and was able to give us our dream wedding through a collaborative year long planning. Sandra was always available and alleviated all of the stress that goes into planing a wedding. My wife and I had bits and pieces of a vision we had for our big day which Sandra was able to bring to life. Sandra coordinated with our vendors, created a schedule, and made our big day stress free. We loved that we were able to enjoy the day and spend time with our guests because of how well planned and timely everything was. Our guests raved about the little details, food, and amazing night of partying. Truly a night that we will never forget and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without Sandra and her team. Pairing the most perfect venue with the most amazing planner made for a dream wedding. We would highly recommend utilizing LWTD for your big day. Thank you Sandra, we will never forget how truly amazing our day was thanks to you!

I've loved weddings since childhood, from sketching dresses in my notebooks to planning my own wedding in 2019. That experience confirmed my passion for coordination, logistics, and making wedding days seamless. After serving as Maid of Honor multiple times, I became the go-to planner for friends. Since then, I’ve coordinated 22+ weddings and events, specializing in DIY and backyard celebrations. I believe a beautiful wedding doesn’t need a huge budget, just thoughtful planning. Let’s create a stress-free, unforgettable day together!

Working with Kalyna and Bella Dia Events was truly one of the best parts of planning our wedding. We started planning about 18 months out, and from day one, Kalyna made the entire process feel smooth, stress-free, and even fun. We hired her for full-service planning, and she went above and beyond in every way. Kalyna helped us design a beautiful invitation suite that perfectly captured the style of our wedding — every detail, from the font choices to the finishing touches, felt intentional and cohesive. She was incredibly hands-on with our florals and décor too, helping us create a timeless, elegant look that felt personal to us. She even helped oversee set-up on the big day, making sure every arrangement, table setting, and design element came together exactly as we envisioned. What stood out the most was Kalyna’s organization and attention to detail throughout the entire 18 months. She kept us on track with checklists, timelines, and vendor coordination, making the whole process feel completely manageable. She thought of things we wouldn’t have even known to plan for, and truly made sure no detail was ever overlooked. Thanks to Kalyna, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day, knowing that everything behind the scenes was taken care of. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We can't thank Kalyna and Bella Dia Events enough for making our wedding everything we dreamed it would be! — Jennifer & Art Montoya

My love of details, planning & coordinating is what energizes me. I think through every detail of a wedding to make sure nothing is forgotten. It's my passion to coordinate & make sure your day is perfect.

There are a lot of things that people regret on their wedding day. Maybe the flowers they chose or the music they picked or even some of the guests who were invited, but one thing that no bride will ever regret is hiring Corinne as their wedding coordinator. Not only did she coordinate my wedding which went off without a hitch, but I’ve assisted her in another wedding where I was able to witness firsthand just how much she does and how many small details she doesn’t let slip through the cracks. She strives to make the bride and groom as comfortable as possible, and to have to worry about as little as possible. She has an eye for detail, a commanding yet kind presence when instructing others, and most importantly, she makes sure that the bride and groom are able to truly enjoy the time together on their big day.

My florals were my absolute favorite décor element from my entire wedding. They made me so happy because they were absolutely perfect, and I credit that entirely to Amanda’s dedication and collaboration with Emporio, the preferred floral vendor at Hard Rock Los Cabos. Florals were the wedding detail I cared about the most, and they also caused me the most worry. They hold such a special place in my heart because I believe they truly accentuate the beauty of a wedding. From the moment Amanda stepped in, she eased all my anxieties. She was dedicated, focused, and meticulous in her attention to detail. She was assertive in communicating my needs to the vendor, efficient in coordinating every step, proactive in addressing potential challenges, and direct in making sure my vision was honored exactly as I imagined. Her strong and trusted relationship with Emporio made all the difference. They clearly respect and value her, which ensured flawless execution and also saved me thousands of dollars. That kind of value comes from her experience, credibility, and deep commitment to her clients. Because of Amanda, my my most treasured design element was in the very best hands. If you have the opportunity to work with her, I recommend it wholeheartedly. She is worth every penny and more.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but my wife and I actually looked forward to our planning meetings. She listened to our vision, offered creative solutions, and anticipated needs we didn't even know we had. When unexpected rain threatened to dampen our spirits, she stepped in with backup venues, alternative photo locations, and solutions that kept our celebration running smoothly. Our guests had an absolute blast, completely unaware of the behind-the-scenes magic she was working. To any couple planning their wedding, I cannot recommend Sanjam highly enough. She doesn't just plan weddings – she creates experiences, manages emotions, and turns potential stress into pure joy.

I had a very unique style wedding and most of it I tried to do DIY. In a nutshell, it became extremely overwhelming for me, so I asked my planner Rebecca to assist. Her and the owner were so kind enough to make my original package of Day of Planning, to Full planning at a discount! Saved my whole wedding day. I cried a few days before my wedding because remembering all the months prior, they were there for me every step of the way.

I began planning everything from intimate birthdays and gender reveals to elaborate engagement parties and baby showers. Since officially stepping into the wedding business in 2021, I have navigated and managed every challenge the industry presents, ensuring a stress-free process for my clients.

Casey’s Curated Events made planning our destination wedding an absolute breeze. Casey was there every step of the way with incredible energy, organization, communication and above all dedication. From the beginning, Casey took the time to truly understand my vision and explained the planning process in a clear, easy to understand way which was especially helpful while planning a destination wedding on a short five month timeline. I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. I gave Casey full creative freedom with our invitations, and she completely delivered! Her creativity and attention to detail set the tone for our wedding from the start. She was also incredibly responsive, making herself available via email, text, and phone, and handled communication between the travel agency, resort coordinator, and vendors seamlessly. As the wedding approached and decisions felt overwhelming, Casey always reassured me and helped narrow down options, making everything feel manageable. From creating a comprehensive packing list (down to things like bobby pins!) to personally making sure we didn’t have to worry about the little details, Casey thought of everything. When we arrived at the resort, she took the time to walk the property with us — showing us the ceremony and reception spaces, photo locations, rehearsal and helping us visualize the full experience. She also joined us in meeting the on-site coordinator and ensured everyone was aligned. Her ability to advocate for us, ask the right questions, and clarify details made such a difference, especially since most communication with the resort had taken place via email. On our wedding day, Casey was truly amazing. She coordinated everything behind the scenes, kept everyone on schedule, and solved problems before we even knew they existed. Her calm presence, care, and positive energy allowed me to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding. Thank you, Casey, for going above and beyond. Having you as our wedding planner was truly a blessing.

From the moment we hired Blue Sierra Events, Rentals & Photo Booth, we knew we were in excellent hands. Diana, the owner, is incredibly fast, effective, and reassuring in her communication style. She is detail-oriented and truly passionate about her work, which shows in the seamless execution of our wedding day.

Genevieve was the wedding planner of our dreams! It’s one thing to concept a vision in your mind or explain it to someone, but it’s another to see that vision executed beyond what you knew was possible. She totally understood the feeling and aesthetic we were going for, was organized to a T, came up with the sweetest details we never would have thought of, and was a stellar communicator. I didn’t think I’d be someone who would say this, but our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and Genevieve's art of wedding planning made it so.
