Where to begin? Ok Amy and her exceptional team were the BEST DECISION my now husband and I made!…read moreOur journey began meeting Amy at an LGBT+ Wedding Expo because neither one of us have been to a gay wedding or knew anything about weddings, especially non-traditional weddings. Amy was so sweet, kind, and professional and reassuring with all of my questions. I interviewed 5 different wedding planners and chose Amy when I noticed the price was right and she offered so much help and assistance with everything a newlywed would need help with. Let me tell you, she lied about nothing to this date! Leading up to the wedding, 7 months until the big day, our all-inclusive venue went out of business abruptly! We had to start from the BEGINNING! I'll never forget calling Amy panicking and feeling lost, angry, sad, mad, confused, defeated, etc. She immediately reassured me that everything would work out and she'd help us with everything. We had only a partial package with her and we were asking for services from a full package, and she reminded me that this was an emergency that we did not ask for. Amy and Abby sent over recommendations for venues, caterers, DJ's, Cake, Photographers, Videographers, etc. and March 2026 I was one busy guy but I ran contracts through Amy and her team and they reviewed each one and gave the best advice possible without saying "You need to go with them" or just giving one option. Overall, almost everyone we went with was an option from Amy and her team based off what we wanted. Wedding Day! The fun part, our wedding was PERFECT! When I say we were not allowed to be on our phones and not a single worry in the world occurred, nothing bad was allowed to reach us at all. We had a point of contact (someone from our wedding party) to answer all questions and check on us at the hotel during hair and make-up. Amy and her team (Mandy and Emma) made the flow of our wedding work perfectly! Our officiant missed our vows section and Amy strategically was able to help fit our vows into the reception which seemed to have worked even better. Amy and her team truly were there for us every second of the wedding and most importantly gave us a second to breathe after the ceremony. Long story short, EVERYONE should have a wedding planner, but not just a wedding planner, Amy Frances wedding planning! Our day could not have been as perfect as it was without her. She has become our friend at this point. She is organized, she is a problem solver, she is understanding, she is everything when it comes to celebrating love! Besides my husband and I finding each other, we are so thankful we found Amy for our wedding!

I'm so happy we hired AFA for our wedding a few weeks ago! We hired her as our month/day of…read morecoordinator a year out, and she was so helpful. She helped us navigate all the questions of planning a wedding, and was always ready to jump in for us. She was flexible with our rehearsal too, as we weren't able to have it at the venue due to scheduling reasons, but she was happy to have it elsewhere and work with us. She was very communicative and easy to talk to, and quick to answer all the last minute questions and soothe the final anxieties as we got closer to the day (and there were many, as the forecast was looking quite stormy in the final week--thankfully the rain held off!). She kept us as calm as possible. On the actual day, she was worth her weight in gold, helping to manage everything and make sure it ran as smoothly as it could. We had a small issue with our shuttle vendor, which I didn't know about until it was handled and dealt with, all thanks to Amy. She made sure we knew what we needed to, and that we weren't bothered by the details we didn't need to know. I can whole heartedly recommend Amy for anyone planning a wedding!

From our initial…read morecommunication to the day of the event, she was professional and responsive and seemed genuinely excited about the vision for the event. On the day of the event, Latasha went above and beyond navigating traffic issues beyond her control and was flexible when we needed to shift some times around for the event.

I look forward to working with her again in the future on other events. Thank you, Twisty Twirly Balloons!

At the start she said all the right things. But as planning picked up, our experience soured…read more We were clear with our budget. We worked together to set item level budgets and design choices (e.g. flowers, printing, etc.). However, each proposal we received was over budget. Communication also became a problem. When she overlooked scheduling problem between the venders and our requirements, she became defensive about her faults. Also, she promised she would only manage one marriage a weekend, but on our weekend she had two weddings. I wish the relationship would have worked better and I hope she learns from our concerns.

Our single best investment of the entire wedding was to hire Diana of Eventi Planning. We hired…read moreDiana to help with wedding day coordination, but in fact she ended up helping with planning, crisis management, and general advice in the months leading up to the wedding. Given that vendors often try to double as event planners (especially caterers, venues, and DJs), Diana had the difficult job of coordinating the coordinators. She did so with aplomb: building positive relationships with the other vendors, soliciting input on the master schedule, maintaining flexibility, and helping cultivate a sense of joy on the big day. She could easily charge double or triple for her services. Diana helped with the following decisions and more: creating a floor plan, hiring transportation for the wedding day (we used three vendors: a hotel shuttle, an all-purpose van, and a limo), hiring and negotiating a better rate for drapes, brainstorming ideas, communicating with other vendors, buying small items that we forgot (tea candles, a car decorating kit, and a guest book), lending us some common wedding items (a ring pillow, candle holders, and a "bird cage" for gifts), delivering ribbons for the wedding cake, and creating a master schedule. We also appreciated that Diana was fine with the unusual gender roles in our planning process, as the groom handled most of the planning. We found that some vendors were quite sexist in this respect, but Diana was fine with communicating with both of us. In short, we can't emphasize enough how thankful we are for Diana's help.

Believe the bad reviews above. I wish that our family had seen these. Baltimore's Best is more…read morelike Baltimore's worst. The owner not only lies on her employee's but lies to her customer's saying things occurred that never happened. She doesn't oversee jobs and appears to subcontract their work. We emailed this company to see if they could do a balloon arch for our daughter's graduation party. They said they sure could. On the morning of the event the item didn't meet all of the specifications of what we ordered and the balloons started popping as it was being delivered. The delivery people worked to repair it (with tape that they barrowed from us) and took a picture and then left. Within 10 minutes of their departure more of the balloons started popping and the structure started falling apart BEFORE our guest arrived. The Owner expects us to pay for this eyesore that startled our guest with the sounds of popping balloons. You hire "professionals" so that you don't have to worry about certain details. We spent time chasing balloons and calling this company when were were supposed to be enjoying our guest and celebrating our special day. To make matters worse. We know have to argue for our refund with a company that doesn't stand behind their work or service and willfully will try to keep funds for a defective product and service not rendered.

If you want in any way to have your vision realized, then by all means DO NOT use Baltimore's Best…read moreEvents! They are Baltimore's WORST events. I contacted them to plan a surprise bridal shower for my sister. I spoke with Gia the owner and everything seemed fine. We went into storage to pick out centerpieces. She showed us some gold trumpet vases (which I'd already planned to use for my upcoming wedding). We told her no, we definitely did not want those because we are using those vases at my upcoming wedding. We showed her some acrylic stands that she had that we liked, but she outright refused to use those! She told us no, she would not use those. We finally mutually agreed on a cylinder centerpiece arrangement with floating candles and flowers. That should have been a warning to us, but we were running out of time to find a venue and so persevered. She also showed us some flowers which she was to use as decor. We decided upon the tiffany blue flowers that she had. She asked us if we wanted the wicker chair for the bride's seat and we said yes. She promised that it would be decorated very nicely. Next we went down to the tablecloth storage area. She picked out a teal tablecloth to show to us. However we told her that the tablecloths next to it were closer to the color we were looking for, as it was closer to the colors of my sister's wedding. She appeared to be taking notes the whole time. Apparently this was a farce. On Wednesday she called to confirm the details, my sister verified AGAIN with her the centerpieces and all of the decor we wanted. The bridal shower was to be a surprise and we were the ones bringing my sister. When we arrived on yesterday to the event, I was completely dismayed and quite frankly extremely upset. The wicker chair for the bride was no where in sight! The servers there, brought the wicker chair down halfway through the event and it was not decorated in the least. The tablecloths were the color Gia chose and not the ones we chose. The tiffany blue flowers were completely absent. AND, there in the middle of our tables sat not the cylinder vase centerpieces she promised, not the acrylic floral platforms we liked, not any of the dozens of options we never discussed. Instead sat the very vases, we'd told her that we did NOT want. The ones we told her would be at my upcoming wedding. Not only that but the centerpieces weren't even nice, many of the crystals were twisted and coming off and the flower ball set on top only made it look like a broken blinged-out ice cream cone. Can you imagine the anger I felt at that moment? But I tamped it down for my sister's sake and determined to enjoy her party anyway. I called Gia, this morning to inform her of all the things that had gone wrong. She refused to take responsibility for the fact that she COMPLETELY messed up. I told her how upset I was that she had not done as promised. At which point she says that she only remembered the colors we wanted and that she did do what was promised but was sorry that it wasn't up to "my standard". My STANDARD?!! The fact of the matter is that she blatantly disregarded our wishes or at the very least was hugely negligent in attending to what we were ordering. She became extremely unprofessional and attempted to blame us for her mistakes. She refused to even give a partial refund for the mistakes or missing items, aside from $12 which she claims would be for one cylinder centerpiece. First of all, there were to be five centerpieces. Second, even on her website it says the centerpieces were more than that. Over the years, I have hosted and helped plan numerous events. Just last year, I threw a 60th birthday party for my mom. This is the worst experience, I've ever had and I will not be returning here! If you at all, value your event and your money, run the other way from this place! You will not be satisfied and will not have your vision realized. Obviously the owner does not care about her customers. I wish I'd looked on Google reviews before booking her, as there are numerous complaints there about this place. I could've saved myself some serious heartache.
