I was really disappointed and frustrated in my experience working with Kira. Around 2.5 months…read morebefore my wedding, I reached out to her but she was unresponsive to my email and calls. I was finally able to reach her two weeks later, and she asked me to send her a list of all my vendors again (even though I had already forwarded her all my vendor contracts and information before). Kira did not follow through with my vendors according to the timeline we had agreed upon, and I was uncertain as to when I would be able to get my draft timeline from her. When I expressed my concern and frustration, Kira said that since she was hired for day of, her talking to me two months prior to the wedding was a bonus that she was doing for me, and I should not expect to get a timeline until 2 weeks before the wedding. This seemed irresponsible to me, since when I booked her she had said she was free for calls and texts anytime leading up to the wedding. She said that I was unsympathetic towards personal things that came up for her. I felt like it was unprofessional for her to be telling me about personal things in her life that was causing a disruption in her ability to deliver upon her commitment as a coordinator. I ended up hiring a different coordinator who is also day-of. This coordinator said she always works with her clients 8 weeks before the wedding, creates the timeline 6 weeks beforehand, communicates with vendor 3 weeks beforehand and finalizes everything 1 week beforehand. This was exactly the kind of clarity and responsibility I wanted in a coordinator, and I am afraid that Kira did not deliver on this at all for me.

Kira was great to work with. This is from a vendor side which is also really important! haha Our…read morephoto booth got booked just days before a wedding as a gift for a high end client where Kira just ran with it and made it happen for us. Things were all ready when we got there and she checked on us a few times throughout the day to make sure if we needed anything. From things like making sure the places we neat ant tightly to making sure the vendors were taken care of and fed, it's so appreciated from our side. Pleasure to work with her and her team. We have worked with a lot of coordinators and other vendors in the past and it's always great to see people who get it and are just Team Bride & Groom. The result at the end is a event that goes really smooth for the bride and groom and that's what it's all about! Must have been extra stressful to add something the night before the wedding but glad it all work out! Thanks Sweetest Things in Life Events & Kira!

Lauren handled everything including tickets to a festival, brunch and dinner reservations, hotel, and created matching shirts for all of us with a cute tag line for our bride to be! We just gave her the basics of what we wanted to do and she made it all happen and came up with other great ideas. Lauren was great with communication and made everything so easy. It really took all of the stress out of making such an awesome event happen. Would highly recommend Lauren for any event!

Lauren was the perfect planner for my bachelorette. I have amazing friends, but needed someone who…read morecould really get into the details of the weekend. There were girls in 4 different cities and we were meeting in an out of state location. She listened to the type of weekend I wanted (low maintenance, fun, outdoors, and budget friendly). and from there she ran with it! She worked with my friends and gave ideas as well as take input too on what the group thought I wanted. I was in for one of the best weekends ever- there were creative touches like decor (even matching my wedding colors), my favorite adult beverages waiting for me at check in, custom tees, and all the necessary snacks. Lauren researched Austin and was able to use her vast network and got insider knowledge on the best things to do. From dinners, to raffling and nights out- it was perfection. Honestly, I couldn't have planned it better, or at all without Lauren. If you can get Lauren as your party/event/life planner, you are in for a treat! Don't have a ton of pictures as the weekend was that fun, but feel free to connect with me about Lauren and her great work.

We hired Giulia for partial planning for our wedding, which was planned for June 2025. Sadly, we…read moreare now unable to have our event due to my husband being active duty military, and his current deployment being extended. On top of that, we experienced two family deaths, a pregnancy, and a miscarriage--all within this same incredibly difficult year. When I found out in March that my husband's deployment was being extended by 3 months, no services had been rendered at that time. Despite this, Giulia chose to retain our deposit. While I recognize that contractually this may be within their rights, I hoped for more understanding and compassion, especially under such exceptional circumstances. We did not cancel our wedding because we decided not to get married, changed our minds, etc. We are unable to move forward because my husband is in the middle of an active war zone, fighting for all of us, and for our country. I would have hoped that Giulia would have made a contractual exception due to this fact alone. Many of our other vendors--without being asked--refunded us in full, out of sheer kindness and empathy. Their actions reminded us that business can be both professional and human. I expected the same from a wedding coordinator--someone who works in an industry that revolves around love, family, and life's biggest milestones. This isn't a reflection of their work at a wedding, because we never had one. It's a reflection of how they responded when life threw more at us than we ever imagined. And unfortunately, that response fell short of what we hoped for during one of the most vulnerable times in our lives.

The Secret Garden is a great option for couples seeking a more affordable wedding venue…read more We ultimately decided against this venue because our guest count felt a bit too large for the space. While it would have comfortably accommodated a smaller wedding, a party of 150 seemed likely to feel cramped. My communication with Kendra through The Knot was efficient and responsive, and Christian did an excellent job touring us through the venue and preparing our final quote. =PROS= *Ceremony site centered around a charming gazebo, complemented by natural elements such as a towering tree, flower pots, and a picturesque hanging swing *Included feature wall perfect for signage, backdrops, or neon displays *Reception space featured high ceilings and an elegant, neutral aesthetic *Packages included tables, linens, and glassware, with upgrade options available for different styles and colors *Large inventory of complimentary decor, including signage, draping, and string lights *DJ and coordination services included *Complimentary engagement photo session and discounted wedding photography *Affordable in house catering with flexibility for outside vendors *BYO bar option available *Free photobooth included *Discount offered for cash or check payments =CONS= *Parking area was somewhat hilly and may be challenging for elderly guests *Bridal and groom suites were small and noticeably dated, with furniture showing significant wear *Bathrooms, particularly the men's, felt informal and somewhat resembled those found in elementary schools *Some of the greenery appeared wilted and lacked the lushness shown in promotional materials This would have been an excellent choice for a wedding closer to 100 guests, but it felt like a squeeze for our anticipated attendance. Ironically, the venue's strongest selling points were not the garden itself, but rather the extensive planning support and complimentary services included in the package. The greenery was pleasant but not especially striking, so couples may want to allocate additional budget toward florals and decor to elevate the space.

We got married at The Secret Garden Las Vegas snd I truly cannot put into words how magical the…read moreexperience was--but I'm going to try. From the moment we started planning, Shannon (our wedding planner) was nothing short of exceptional. I had such a terrible experience at another venue and when we made the decision to change venues to Secret Garden, she metaphorically took my hand and turned planning into the BEST and MOST magical experience. She made what is usually (and had been) a stressful process feel effortless, organized, and honestly... SO much fun! She's upbeat, enthusiastic and clearly LOVES what she does, which makes everything feel exciting. She anticipated needs before we even knew we had them, handled every detail with precision, and made us feel completely taken care of the entire time. Not only that, she made us feel special, seen, heard and adored. Her magical energy made the whole process feel like we were planning our wedding with people who cared for us like family! And, every visit to secret garden -before, during our ceremony, and after to pick up decorations - she greeted us like we were family! We felt so welcome and so special. On the day of, Cheryl (our wedding coordinator) brought everything to life seamlessly. She was calm, kind, incredibly on top of everything, and made sure every moment flowed beautifully. She even put bandaids on my bleeding feet and helped sew my ripped dress. I never once felt stressed or pulled in a million directions--she held the entire day with such grace and professionalism, which allowed us to actually be present and soak in every second. And, the whole time it felt like she was going above and beyond to make sure we loved our day. And the vendors... WOW. Every single one exceeded expectations! The DJ Harry O was AMAZING! He even captured photos for us and sent them to us after the wedding. He was such a delight. The efficient made sure paper work was taken care of effortlessly. But, my favorite detail of all were the decorations and the flowers! Vanessa and her family who have been doing flowers for generations are AMAZING! They were beyond stunning--elevated, romantic, and even more beautiful than I could have imagined. The arrangements felt like they were pulled straight out of a dream and completely transformed the space. She went so far above and beyond to make my vision come to life. Truly unforgettable. This is a family owned business and it feels that way from start to finish! What stood out most is how above and beyond everyone went. This wasn't just a "service"--it felt like a team of magical people who genuinely cared about making our wedding perfect. Every detail, every interaction, every moment felt thoughtful and intentional. If you're considering getting married here--do it. This team delivers not just a wedding, but an experience that feels magical, seamless, and deeply personal. We'll be reliving this day forever

We first hired Kelsie as our Day of Coordinator, and unlike most Day of Coordinators, she didn't limit our texts, emails, or chats leading up to the wedding if we needed anything or had any questions to run by her. Along with being a go-to source for more ideas, questions, and recommendations, she also has a whole warehouse full of rentals at your disposal! We then hired Lori for our florals and she did a beyond stellar job! I initially went into florals not knowing what I wanted other than "colorful" and "cascading bouquet". We went to a floral warehouse and pointed out flowers my fiancé and I thought looked nice and then let Lori handle it from there. When she handed me my bouquet on the day I gasped at how gorgeous it turned out. I went from not caring that much about the florals, to raving so much about them that we decided to get ours preserved! We cannot thank Kelsie and the team at Heart for Hospitality enough for truly being even better than we could have imagined. You will not regret hiring them!

Working with Suzette was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day! She is such a…read morejoy to work with and made the entire day seamless (and even that is an understatement). During the months leading up to the wedding, we had a few check-ins with Suzette to see how planning was coming along. She provided a workbook that was so helpful in keeping us on track with our planning timeline and included things I never would have thought of to prepare. It made me feel much more at ease knowing that we were thinking through all the details, even the little ones, well ahead of time. About a week or two leading up to the wedding, Suzette started taking over coordination with the other vendors. She also made sure she was available for our venue walk through and rehearsal at the venue, which was extremely helpful! She provided great guidance on the day of timing, venue set up, ceremony flow and more. She is a true professional and extremely detail oriented. Though I provided Suzette with a general idea of what I was thinking for wedding decorations, I was also flexible with where things would go. Once we got on site on the wedding day, we were truly BLOWN AWAY. Suzette has an eye for design and the decorations and setup looked better than I could have ever imagined. Suzette and her husband Patrick had everything covered and made the entire venue look beautiful. Even though they don't normally do anything related to florals, we had all fake florals. Suzette was really open and flexible in taking on the set up of all the florals for us. Overall, I could not imagine doing our wedding day without Suzette. She was truly the main point of contact for all vendors on the wedding day and the days leading up to it. It allowed us to be fully present with our guests for the entire wedding weekend, which was invaluable. We also didn't have to ask any of our guests or family to help with anything, because she truly took care of it all. If anything went awry on the wedding day, I have no idea because Suzette handled it behind the scenes. She and her husband came and picked up all the boxes of decorations for set-up and packed everything up and delivered back to our hotel room in the evening, so we could go straight to our after party. Using Suzette as our day of coordinator was truly the best decision we made and I couldn't recommend her more!

If you're on the search for a Day of Coordinator, look no further!…read more Suzette had been amazing from day 1! She is always responsive and puts our minds at ease when it came to the big and leading up to it. Suzette makes a personal connection with you and honestly feels like a long-time friend. She'll be upfront with you and not mince words and take care of everything she absolutely can. I found Suzette through Instagram and began to look her up more online. I even contacted previous couples to make sure they were satisfied with her services and everyone I spoke to raved about her, so after our initial meeting we understood what everyone was talking about. We hired Suzette before the pandemic and even when COVID hit, she kept checking in on me and my fiance. When we approached her about wanting to find a DJ as we didn't know any we were impressed with, she immediately gave us the name of the best DJ. Suzette created a Google Drive for us with EVERY little detail we needed and she needed to make the day smooth. She even helped to chase down some vendors that started to ghost us and kept them on track with making sure it worked out. Suzette and her husband Patrick were amazing on the day of the wedding as well. She continuously fixed my dress the entire night and helped to keep me together when I got to the venue late! She and Patrick decorated the venue beautifully and went above and beyond in helping us, keeping us calm, and helping us have a great day! I've recommended Suzette several times already! Everyone should use her services and truly enjoy their wedding day. Make sure to check out her Instagram to find more information! Thank you, Suzette and Patrick!

I was very particular about the types of flowers used, and Jerri even did a mock trial with me a year before the wedding so everything looked the way I wanted. I was a very detail-oriented bride, so she made sure that all her ideas went by me first. She took her time to explain what would be out of season, and how things would look if we did them a certain way. Behind the reception sweetheart table arch there is a fireplace, and she was so right in adding a pipe and drape! We also initially ordered shorter stands for the round table centerpieces, and Jerri suggested borrowing the taller ones from epic events and they were perfect! One of my bridesmaids is allergic to chamomile, so Jerri made sure to not include it in her bouquet or at her reception table! The only non-issue we had was that the centerpieces were too big for anyone to put in their car! Haha! No worries - everyone made their own bouquets using the many many flowers around the venue to bring home after the party. :) If you are a wedding couple with Jerri as your florist - you are LUCKY! She is so amazing and made all my floral dreams come true.
