Well, not just any wedding planner - you really should consider and call Tying the Knot. I'll admit it, when I was first engaged, I was skeptical about having a wedding planner. I thought, "what can they really help me with? I love to plan, I've figured it all out." MEH, Wrong. Turned out - having Brooke around really helped us with staying on track, planning and the overall timing of everything we needed to do. Everyone at Tying the Knot is very helpful and knowledgeable. I never felt like I was bothering them with any of my 1001 questions I may have had (or more). Getting married and all of the planning is a really big deal and it takes a lot of planning that most people don't have the time for. Consider the value of your time and invest that to some great wedding planners at Tying the Knot. You might go "hmm...do I need this" at first but when it's all said and done...and everything went smoothly...you'll be happy you went the route of a wedding planner.

From the first day I met with Merlyn, I felt like I had known her for years... she has an approachable, warm and confident essence about her that just spells the word: TRUST. She was the perfect professional to have as part of our wedding day team. Her collaborative nature and communication skills made me feel reassured that she had everything taken care of... She also knew several of the vendors we hired for the day, and I was so glad that she had positive relationships with them. The day of our wedding ran so smoothly with she and her assistant there as "go-to" women... they knew what was happening and when, which is exactly what we needed for our intricately planned day of wedding bliss. I highly recommend the team at C'est Chic for any special event. They take care of all the details, no matter how great or small... if it matters to you, it matters to them too!
