I Do Weddings By Michele

r to everybody! She really is awesome!!!

assistant! We requested the day-of-coordination service, and Michele and Krista truly went above and beyond with providing their sage expertise and advice. Even with the day-of-coordination package, Michele and her team provides plenty of assistance with planning and prep at least a month out from the event, and her help with taking over vendor communication and coordination as the event date approached was incredibly helpful in allowing us to focus on other pieces of our wedding planning we had to complete. Our wedding was on the relatively smaller side, and my partner and I were doing our best to keep things within a reasonable budget because we never wanted to break the bank for a wedding when there are so many more important things to us to save up for, but there were still so many different logistical pieces and moving parts to account for that quickly became overwhelming for us. There were many things that we weren't even aware we had to account for, but Michele was incredibly helpful in filling those gaps in our knowledge and planning and provided recommended resources. On the week of our wedding, we had to quickly come up with new layout and room arrangement plans for our ceremony and reception because chances of thunderstorms was high and there was a heat wave passing through. Unfortunately we had planned for our ceremony and part of the reception (i.e. cocktail/social hour) to be outside, and we were very concerned about our guests (especially the more health-vulnerable folks) suffering from any heat-related difficulties. Michele helped immensely with the stressful and logistical headache of coming up with a feasible rainy-day layout and plan! Truly she was amazing, and Michele's efficient and quick communication was incredibly appreciated to getting things done. Her willingness to find solutions and help alleviate the stress from us as much as possible was clear and so helpful! On the day of our wedding, Krista was amazing at keeping the events flowing and making adjustments on the fly, checking in with us that we were prepared for the next events on the schedule guideline, and answering questions or seeking answers to questions when she didn't immediately know the answer/solution. She was helpful in looking for everyone who had to be in particular places at one time, and she was great at communicating important information and coordinating with our other vendors (i.e. boba tea catering staff, wait-staff, DJ). We really appreciate her coordination with the venue staff, wait-staff, and our friends/family who were helping with decorating the reception area because the decor really exceeded our expectations! Because we wanted a lower-budget wedding, our decor was still on the more humble side, but Krista helped make everything look fantastic and lovely. Thank you so much to Michele and her team, and whether it be for Michele's more full wedding planning services or her day-of-coordination services, we would highly recommend her! She and her team definitely go above and beyond, and we are deeply grateful to have found them!

as much more than your typical day-of. She started reviewing our contracts and getting everything put together for us about a month out. She was also very communicative outside of that window when we needed it. Michele was extremely organized, punctual, professional, and tasteful. I struggle with punctuality myself, and she handled it gracefully while keeping me on track. She was real with us when we needed a good opinion, and at the same time, she never inserted herself unless we asked or needed her. In other words, she totally went with our flow and helped us bring our vision to life. To put it simply, Michele knows what she is doing. Every detail was executed perfectly, and she helped us make some last-minute decisions on the day of that kept our wedding looking beautiful! She is also very well-connected with some of the best vendors in the area. I have met with other vendors that felt like a lot of fluff, marketing, and empty reassurance, and Michele is the opposite of that. Michele is not a "fluff" vendor - she is EXCELLENT at her job. She was quietly and tirelessly working in the background throughout our long wedding day making sure everything was perfect. She is so good that you really didn't notice her unless you were looking, but she was the real reason everything worked out so well. I also can't say enough about how stress-relieving it was that she helped us create our floorplan (something I was confused about and dreading) and that she was there to direct everyone at rehearsal and on the day of the wedding. Looking back, we would have hired Michele for more planning instead of just coordination. We were worried about budget at the time, so we went with just coordination, but let me tell you: Michele is worth EVERY PENNY! If you want to be as stress-free as you could possibly be on your wedding day, this is the person to hire.

helped us through some last minute changes that popped up the week of, which helped save us a lot of stress. She was really lovely to work with through every step of the process.
