We hired Janet for both her wedding planning and floral services. We could not have asked for a more perfect rehearsal dinner and reception. During the planning process, Janet made us feel comfortable and was always there to answer texts, emails, phone calls and in-person meetings. She was always in a great mood, giving us all of her attention. She listened and also gave us the feedback and guidance we needed. All of the little things you don't know or think of, she helped every step of the way. Even when I felt like I was bothering her, she made me feel calm and let us know everything was under control. When I walked in our rehearsal dinner at Goldbug Island, my mind went straight into "STOP WORRYING AND YOU CAN NOW ENJOY THIS" mode. Everything from the flowers to the setup of the tables...every detail was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. And I was able to get ready on site at our reception and saw how she had transformed Alhambra Hall before everyone arrived. I was speechless. She really made every dream and vision I had for our wedding weekend come true. Every flower, picture, wreath, plant, chair, linen was breathtaking. I know she worked so hard that week, and it certainly made every bit of worry and stress go away for us so we could enjoy the actual celebration the weekend was made for. We are so grateful for Janet. We recommend her and would be more than happy to serve as a reference if needed. Thank you, Janet for making our wedding so memorable and perfect :).

I had planned my venues and selected vendors (for wedding ceremony, reception, florist, etc) but I needed the hands on help for day of the wedding (someone to set up the wedding favor table, to keep me on track timeline wise, someone to take flowers from church to reception, someone to ensure that musical talent was in place AND more) and Direct My Day coordinator/planner did that. Amazing experience. Worth every penny.

She is very professional and she knows a lot about the wedding business. My husband :), was not too sure about hiring a full service planner but after he saw how helpful Tanis was, he was fully on board with hiring her. She is very organized and handled all contact with our vendors. She came with us to almost every vendor meeting and made sure everything went smoothly. This lady LOVES paper work and I think that is great!! She keeps track of all contracts and notes every little detail to ensure nothing is missed!! (This really helped out when we had a vendor who did't show up to our wedding) She even came to help me with my bridal shoot and that was something that was not required in the services I paid for. She did it out of the kindness of her heart. She truly is such an amazing woman and I would recommend her to anyone! She also did our draping and candy bar and they both were a hit!! She's got an awesome sense of style and she captured my gatsby theme perfectly! Thank you Tanis for making our wedding day so magical! Wouldn't have been the same with out you!!!

As the Mother of the Bride, I was thrilled when our daughter chose to book Cacky's Bride + Aid to make her wedding day flawless. Never did I imagine how invaluable Cacky would be to our daughter! She met us at the final fitting and was incredibly familiar with the bustle and other aspects of the fitting. Cacky was absolutely amazing to our daughter. Her ability to fit the wedding dress was very skillful. Her professionalism in handling all the little details while taking care of the Bride was extraordinary. No detail was overlooked! The incredible thing was that Cacky was so wonderful to me as well. It is a big day for the Mother of the Bride and she was there for anything I needed. From ironing my dress (which could not be steamed) to sewing the belt on the junior bridesmaid's dress when it didn't fit, Cacky had it covered. Her ability to anticipate every need of the Bride while being so in tuned to the Mother of the Bride was absolutely incredible. Cacky made our daughter's wedding and my Mother of the Bride experience truly special. She was a true blessing. Book her today!! Becky B. Mother of the Bride June 15, 2024

Working with Carrie was an pleasure - so much that I wish I could plan my wedding again and again! (Who knows, maybe she'll start doing birthdays and anniversaries). She works with dozens of different brides across the spectrum of style and taste, and she was able to quickly hone into and *deliver* my vision to perfection ... despite not even knowing what that was myself when I got started, and lacking the "wedding decor vocabulary" I would have liked to have. Carrie has the perfect temperament for the job, and inspires confidence in even the most anxious and picky brides. I was planning my wedding from across the country, so plenty of reasons to feel insecure about vendor management. She is incredibly prepared (my younger brother got ill and had to be taken out during the service and all anyone could talk about after the fact was that before they even got to the back room, Carrie was there with bottles of water and granola bars!) She is positive and helpful (my lipstick was misplaced between the ceremony and reception and she and Lee took the situation just as seriously as I did! :-)) And she has great taste (helped me choose bridesmaid dresses and an absolutely stunning floral palette). In summary, she supported me in creating a beautiful wedding and helped me feel confident and relaxed on my wedding day - focused on the right things!
