Working with Courtney Haynes from One Sweet Day Weddings & Events was one of the best decisions we…read moremade for our wedding. I would hire her again 1000x. From start to finish, Courtney was an absolute delight to work with. She is incredibly organized, kept every detail and every person on track with ease, and did it all with such warmth, kindness, and positivity. She truly is a bright light. I am definitely not someone who was born to plan parties, so having Courtney to bounce ideas off of and guide us through the planning process took an enormous weight off my shoulders. My mom passed away a few years ago and I was afraid to plan a wedding on my own, but Courtney became more than a planner she became my friend. She made every decision feel manageable and always made us feel confident that everything was under control. On our wedding day, I never once felt stressed or overwhelmed. Every detail was executed flawlessly, and I was able to be completely present for every special moment instead of worrying about logistics. Seeing everything come together so beautifully was beyond anything we could have imagined, and that was all thanks to Courtney's incredible work behind the scenes. I also want to mention our DJ Brian (who we were able to hire alongside Courtney in a contract together). He also deserves all the praises - there was not one moment where the dance floor wasn't filled and he was SUCH a talented DJ. The online program he used to help compile our song requests was so easy to use and he was so engaging the entire time with our guests. Thank you Brian! We are so happy we trusted you as our DJ, all our family and friends raved about you.  Not to be confused with our amazing DJ - I also would love to recommend DJ Catering. Doug and Courtney have worked together for years and their teamwork was flawless. I had so many people tell us after the wedding that it was the best wedding food they have ever had, by far. And being able to rent all the tables etc through them made the process so simple.  Anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who is organized, professional, genuinely kind, and truly invested in making your day perfect, I cannot recommend Courtney and One Sweet Day Weddings & Events highly enough. She gave us the gift of being able to fully enjoy one of the best days of our lives, and for that we will always be grateful.    P.S. Courtney thank you for being the most prepared person ever and sewing my button back on my dress mid wedding we love you! You are the best. Thank you so much for being part of our story.

Coming from the mother of the grooms perspective and being a little old school, I didn't initially grasp the hiring of a Wedding Coordinator, however, it was the best decision that they made...... aside from getting married ;) Courtney allowed me to be involved (bride and groom approved) and she was kind, gracious and meticulously organized and kept me in the loop without missing a beat. Everything from start to finish was better than I could have imagined or hoped for. She is truly a special person as well as incredibly professional.

Her attention to every detail for my wedding made me feel so special because she does everything you want, just how you want. She provides a custom package of vendors that you get to choose from that fits your style of wedding and personality. Cari made everything seem so effortless and I couldn't believe how perfect everything turned out. I HIGHLY, EXTREMELY, INSISTENTLY recommend using Cari for your wedding. Her assistant was incredibly helpful and has worked with Cari for a long time so she is very knowledgeable of making the day run smooth too. I wish I could go back to do everything again, absolutely stress free and just the way we wanted it to be. Thank you Cari for such a spectacular job and all your help with our day! Love Kaetlyn and Chris

We chose AOE and Cari from a recommendation from a different planner that was unavailable for our…read moredate. Throughout the planning process, Cari was friendly, responsive and seemed genuinely invested in helping everything go smoothly. We felt confident and supported in the few weeks before the event. However, one of the biggest issues was regarding the deposit. I was sent Zelle information from Cari which is where the deposit was sent. I had informed Cari when the deposit was submitted but the next day received many frantic calls and emails from her stating her email was hacked and it was not where the deposit needed to go. She apologized and reassured this had never happened before, but instead of taking accountability it felt that she was blaming me for her information not being secure. I had informed her I would wait until my bank got back to me about the payment refund to submit the remaining balance, but instead I was sent an email that she would need to cancel our date due to the deposit not being paid in time. After reaching out to her she explained because she had not heard back or received payment, that she would need to cancel. I thought it was odd considering the situation, and thought she would give us some grace with the deposit. Regardless, I unfortunately sent an additional payment that same day to keep our scheduled date. We never got the deposit back. Unfortunately, our experience on the wedding day did not meet the expectations that had been set. Several details that we discussed beforehand were either missed or not executed as planned, which resulted in added stress for us and our families. The ceremony walk through was The largest complication for me was that the vendor list did not have the correct address to the venue. This would have been fine, however Cari also went to a different venue making her set up time later than expected. We arrived 30 minutes later than expected to cocktail hour and I was not made aware of the address issue until we arrived at the parking lot of our venue and my sister and photographer were at the wrong venue. When I called Cari her response to me was "Yeah, I also went to the wrong address. But I did send you guys the vendor list to confirm the address". We had many meetings regarding venue and set up and she was in contact with the venue coordinator as well, so I acknowledge that we should have corrected the address on the email, but we assumed it was correct since we discussed drop-off locations and initial conversations being at the correct address. We also thought if she knew it was the wrong address, we would have loved her to reach out to everyone and explain the mistake immediately so that no one else would also be late. She had also recommended we move our cocktail up sooner for the flow of the ceremony to reception dinner, so we moved from 6-7pm to 5-6pm. We also had an additional person available for table set up with the venue reserved, and when asked Cari confirmed we would not need the additional help so we cancelled this option. On the day of, we arrived 30 minutes later than expected to cocktail hour with her still setting up. According to our guests that arrived on time, nothing was ready when they got there. After 15 minutes since arriving, the table set up was incorrect, the seating chart was laid out flat on a table due to wind, people were sitting inside at their tables already, no music playing, the outdoor lay out was incorrect, and our photographer was at a different location. Another thing to note was that there was no conversation on how the cocktail and other tables were to be set up so I had sent photos for reference just in case the week before. I was a little disappointed that these little details were not confirmed in advance. Afterwards, there were also other minor issues that could have been avoided with better planning as well, but these were the bigger issues. It was unfortunate to hear from my friends and family that they noticed these issues as well, and were checking in on how I was feeling throughout the reception, which is not something you want your guests to notice. We found ourselves addressing issues that we expected would have been managed by Cari taking away from our ability to fully enjoy the day. Her start time was not until the afternoon as well, so the morning was open to confirming and finalizing details if needed. While we appreciate the effort and professionalism shown during the planning stages, the day-of coordination itself fell short of what we anticipated. Ultimately we were disappointed that the execution did not match the level of preparation and confidence established beforehand. We also did not hear from her afterwards until one week later after I reached out to confirm our certificate was submitted (she offered to do). A sincere apology would have been appreciated. I hope this feedback is helpful for future couples and provides an opportunity for improvement for Cari and her team.

Her workbook was perfect for helping us get organized and formalize a timeline for the big day, and we appreciated her thorough attention to detail in getting everything right.

We first spoke to Katie for an initial call and she was really knowledgable and friendly that I was sad to hear we would be working with another coordinator, but Emily happily jumped on a call to ease any worries I may have had. We went with the Month of Coordination service which allowed us to do most of the planning ourselves (most of our vendors were locked in early on, but MB provides a lovely list of vendors they've worked with in case it's needed). Emily had us fill out a very detailed questionnaire (you can tell they know what they're doing with the questions being asked) and went over every detail with us, including areas we were still figuring out. She was available for any questions I had as well leading up to the day, made sure to reach out to all of our vendors with the master timeline, and even provided some guidance for my cousin that was officiating for the first time. A big bonus is how many weddings they've coordinated at Walnut Grove that they're very familiar with the venue and the folks from Command Performance Catering. Emily led us through rehearsal the day before and made sure the actual wedding day went smoothly. She made it possible for us to focus on enjoying the day with our friends and family, but still keep on schedule with her gentle reminders.

We saw as she handled more difficult personnel with poise. She also anticipated our needs (e.g., made sure we ate) and asked us questions well before the day of the wedding. We were completely comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our wedding. She even asked questions we had not thought of (e.g., cards for those taking photos with us). I forgot my garter and she went and brought ribbon to make one. What a gem! Our families noticed her hard work and ask for her information and we quickly provided them with that. We will definitely be recommending Kelly as a wefding coordinator!!! You will not regret it.

My husband and I had planned most of the wedding and we were looking for someone that could help us in the week leading up to the wedding and on the day of. I found Kelly through Craigslist and her price was really affordable. Given that we had a large wedding, Kelly also brought on two wedding assistants to help with the multiple events on the wedding day. From the moment I spoke with Kelly on the phone, I really appreciated her professionalism, attention to detail and her down to earth personality. After explaining the details our wedding, I was pretty confident she could do the job. Leading up to the wedding we met and finalized the details with her. She coordinated our wedding rehearsal and we gave her all the DIY decor, candy and other supplies for her to set up the day of the wedding. It was nice to know I didn't have to worry about decorating and little details like that the day of the wedding! On the day of the wedding, Kelly took the lead to setting up the venue and one of her assistants helped us with the setup and breakdown of our Chinese tea ceremony. The wedding venue and the decor at the reception looked beautiful when I saw it. Kelly did an amazing job of setting up. For the ceremony and the reception, I was confident that things were being taken care of. Kelly would come by and offer us anything that we needed and I appreciated how she helped packed everything up after the wedding was over so it was easy to take home. It was all very seamless. Looking back, if I had to comment on areas of improvement, I would say I wish Kelly had reminded me of things I probably forgotten to think about. For example, we had forgotten to give her our gift card and envelope box for the registration table (my parents had it in the back of their car) and guests were confused about where to leave the cards. I didn't realize it was missing till after the wedding and I thought that would be one forgotten detail that would have been pretty noticeable. Also during the reception, when some issues did occur, there were times where we couldn't find the wedding assistants or Kelly. Given that it was a big wedding, I understand they could have been monitoring everything behind the scenes, but we hoped that we could have had more access to them. Even with these minor issues, all in all the event ran successfully! Our wedding day was perfect enough for us. The love, excitement and pure joy I see as I look through my wedding photos makes me realize how successful we were in accomplishing what we wanted to do: get married! =D Thank you for being part of our big day Kelly!

What I appreciated about Lisa is not only that she was in sync with "my vision" for the events but most importantly that each event went successfully and very smoothly. I had past experiences with other event companies where things/situations came up that put an obstacle in the event. Lisa, on the other hand has proven to have the ability to troubleshoot and handle multiple tasks professionally and efficiently. No more "day of event obstacles" with her! Her professionalism, gift of communication, creative vision & ideas, work ethic and her thoroughness is something that allows her to continue to plan successful events for me and my business. I would recommend her all day long to anyone who is looking to plan a corporate, fundraising or personal event.

Our review is long overdue, and now that things have settled down, we wanted to share our AMAZING…read moreexperience with Tiana and her team! We found Tiana through an IG ad, where she promoted Exotic Green Garden along with an all-inclusive wedding package at Lake Lindero Golf Course. The Exotic Green Garden IG page looked beautiful, and the package was within our budget, so we decided to reach out to learn more. Upon meeting Tiana, she was super friendly and honest about the costs, what can be personalized, and was patient in answering our many questions. We left the meeting feeling like we made a new friend, but still wanted to explore other options as she was the very first vendor we met in our wedding planning journey. After a week or so of reaching out to other florists, we decided that nobody could beat what Tiana offered, and her lovely personality was a huge plus. It was an easy decision to book Tiana as our florist, coordinator, and the wedding package for our wedding on October 4th, 2025 at Lake Lindero Golf Course. Leading up to our wedding, Tiana was very communicative with us every step of the way. It was so easy to reach her and hear back in a timely manner, whether it was through email, text, or a phone call. She was always ready to address our questions and concerns, and put our mind at ease. She even gave us suggestions on how to save money with our florals, which we truly appreciated. In addition to Tiana, we also worked with Adena (her sister) and Lance (her father and our officiant). We met Lance via FaceTime a few months before so he could learn about us, and he was so kind and funny that we knew he'd do a wonderful job making our ceremony go smoothly. He even had an additional call with us and sent reminder texts to make sure we were aware of what's needed for the day. We met Adena at our wedding rehearsal, where we learned she would be our day of coordinator instead. We were a little surprised since we thought Tiana would do this. But Adena re-assured us that she was familiar with the schedule and during the rehearsal, we were relieved to see how personable she was, and her professionalism matched that of Tiana and Lance, and we knew we were in good hands. On our wedding day, we received so many compliments from our guests on how much they loved the florals. We didn't see Tiana on our wedding day, but definitely felt how much love and care she put into them as they turned out beautiful, like exact replicas of our Pinterest photos. Several of our guests even snuck some away, which we didn't know till the end of the night lol! Our guests also praised Lance on how he conducted our ceremony and made it feel personable to us. Throughout the wedding, Adena constantly checked in on us to make sure we were hydrated, feeling ok, and keeping us informed about the schedule. She even jumped in to help cut a roast pig, which we did not expect her to do as we were expecting a specific guest to do it (who ended up not attending). We loved that Adena was so on top of everything the whole evening, while having a smile the whole time. We still reminisce about our wedding day, and how wonderful it was thanks to Tiana, Adena, and Lance. Even though it's been a few months, our guests still mention how lovely our wedding was, which makes us so happy to know that we chose a fantastic team. We highly recommend Tiana and her family/team for your wedding or special event. Thank you Tiana, Adena, and Lance for making our day feel extra special!!!
