If you're looking for a planner who will bring originality, expertise, and peace of mind to your wedding, look no further than One H'ART. They are simply the best!

Fair warning - this may be very long, but we just have so many wonderful things to share about our…read moreexperience working with Sumeta! HOW WE CONNECTED:We found Sumeta online while just browsing for full service wedding planners in the Southeast region. We reached out to her via her website and heard back very quickly! We were able to set up a consultation call to essentially go over what we are looking for and ensure we could be the right fit for each other. From the first call, Sumeta was so kind and sincere! It was clear she absolutely loves what she does and genuinely wants to celebrate your love and marriage. She was very inquisitive - she, of course, asked the basic questions about our wedding events and what services we were looking for - but she was the only planner who asked us some unexpected out-of-the-box questions, like what does celebrating love look like to us, what kind of experience did we want to have, what kind of experience did we want our guests to have, and how we want to tell/share our love story through our wedding. It wasn't just all business - she was genuinely most interested in us as a couple. We really appreciated her questions and just had a really good gut feeling upon ending our call. All I can say is always trust your instinct. We are so glad we did because this was the beginning of the best decision we made! After reviewing the different packages she offers, we decided to book Sumeta as our wedding planner for her full service package!  PLANNING PHASE:We started on a completely blank page -  we had no idea where we wanted it or which vendors we wanted to book, so we wanted to go the full service package route as we trusted that Sumeta would have the best contacts and be able to get us the best deals throughout the process. What we really appreciated the most during this phase was that we didn't just jump right into vendors and venue. Sumeta has a process. She wanted us to "dream" and really think about what was important to us. It was really fun to challenge ourselves to use our imagination and try to put into words what we visioned. She really wanted to understand where our hearts were before showing us any venues or introducing us to other vendors. She really did it all for us - venue, catering, photography, videography, decor, entertainment, photobooth, singer, etc - every single vendor we worked with we found through Sumeta. She would lead all calls and meetings, review contracts, and negotiate. We would simply explain what we were looking for and trusted her to bring us the best of the best, and she delivered with every single person we worked with.  WEDDING WEEK:Sumeta created the entire timeline for our wedding week. She worked with all of our vendors to share timings and ensure they knew where to be each day. She even met with all of our immediate family members to bring everyone on the same page of what to expect as well as share our expectations of them regarding any responsibilities and timeliness. Side note - she is awesome with family members and they all loved and respected her! During the wedding week, she is mainly behind the scenes ensuring everything is running smoothly. It's crazy how many hats she wears, but she wears them well! Despite everything that is going on, she would always make time to come see me during hair and makeup, she would always make sure to greet us before any of our entrances, she would check in with us throughout the event to make sure we were eating or that we always had a cocktail in hand, and she would even be there at the end of every event to make sure we were happy with everything. She even came to join us on the dance floor a few times, and it was soo special to us! I really don't know how she always found the time and energy to do all of it - seriously, she's superhuman. We always felt cared for! She also brought two additional assistants with her for the weekend, Alyssa and Sydney, and they were a true reflection of her! She really only works with the best people, and we always felt like we could just trust her entire team and enjoy our wedding weekend, as it always should be for every couple out there! POST WEDDING:Sumeta continued to work with us after the wedding to ensure all of our contracts and payments were closed out. She even continued to support us months later with photography and videography deliverables. She had always said that her role continues even after the wedding weekend. She believes in supporting her couples until they truly have closed out everything and have received all their deliverables.  Sumeta is simply the best! The work that she does is truly her calling. She genuinely believes in celebrating love and she will make the planning process actually fun. So many couples talk about how they hated the planning process, but we simply cannot relate - we loved planning with Sumeta and would recommend her every. single. time.

I have been straining my brain about where to begin with Sola because this review will turn into an…read morearticle. I found Unique Events by Shollah on Instagram last year around this time (December 2019). From our initial meeting, I knew that I made the right decision going with Shollah as my planner. She listened to my ideas on what I wanted and recommended ideas that I never even dreamed of. Shollah and her team make you feel like you are the only customer because you always feel prioritized. She knows all the best of the best vendors you could possibly want. Name a vendor, and Shollah will connect you to that person. Nothing is ever impossible for Shollah when it comes to giving you the event you want. She is relentless in her aptitude to please her customer. I could call Shollah anytime, even at 3 am, and she would pick up with the happiest laugh and attitude. Professionalism should be her last name because it has never wavered. When you select Unique Events by Shollah, you will relish the entire experience from start to finish. She is a visionary, talented beyond words, and the kindest person I know. When it comes to wedding decor, no one does it like Shollah and her team. She provides the luxury look for a fraction of the price. Her eye for details is unmatched. You just have to experience the Uniqueness of Events by Shollah. She has become family, and I would do anything for her. IF IT MUST BE PLANNED, IT MUST BE PLANNED BY UNIQUE EVENTS BY SHOLLAH.

My husband and I were married in November in Piedmont Park. On our first visit with park, it was…read morerecommended that we work with Courtney. She reached out the next week, and in meeting her for five minutes, I was sold. If you are like me, and you want a gorgeous wedding, but you are not the most detail oriented person alive, or if you simply want to be able to enjoy your wedding day without the worry of "Did I contact this vendor?" "Do they know where to park?" etc...Courtney is vital to your day! Her basic package includes a pre-meeting and then closer to the day of, she will get a list of your vendors and begin reaching out. She will be there for the final walk through with your wedding team, and will take all the worry off your plate. Because of Courtney, and the wedding team we assembled, I was able to enjoy every bit of my wedding day. I got up, got dressed, and had a ball without the stress of all the details. If you can afford one extra thing, having a planner/coordinator is the way to go! Jenny

AWFUL experience at my wedding reception…read more - I was told ONE DAY before my reception that another decorator (Fatima) will be coming to do decorations, while I had been in contact with Aziz the entire time prior. It is ok if another decorator is coming, but I would have appreciated it if someone would have told me ahead of time, and not the day before. - When I got to the reception, Fatima had set up the stage and left already. She did not light up the candles that was discussed earlier. When I called to ask where she was, I was told that it is Venue's responsibility. It was not communicated to me or any of the venue staff. I found this out 1 hour before my event. When I called Fatima, it was rather a cold response and told us that owner would call us back shortly. I never got that phone call. - The decorative chairs and rug at the stage were filthy dirty. Got a couple of comments from the guests, which was not nice to hear during my reception. I am writing this review so that no one else has to go through the unprofessionalism and stress like we did. I would DEFINITELY NOT recommend using divine decor. They were difficult to approach to begin with, and the last minute stress did not help at all. UPDATE - The owner reached out and was very apologetic. He offered monetary compensation.

As a current bride-to-be, I'm one of those seemingly rare girls who never daydreamed about my…read morewedding. Needless to say, upon getting engaged I was lost and clueless on how to plan a wedding. Sure, I'd been to a few but this was going to be My Day, not my friends' days. I had to find guidance. Enter The Not Wedding, a yearly event where brides and their moms/fiances/bridesmaids/family/etc pay money to become guests of a "wedding" that is put on by different vendors every year. The vendors treat this as a real wedding so you can see how they perform under pressure to please an extremely large crowd. I was very impressed. All three photography companies did an excellent job, all the event planners and decorators and bands and dress designers did amazingly incredible work. The best part about it? It features local folks like you and me. Second best part? If you go with many of these vendors, you'll know you're getting a customized wedding just for you. No cookie cutter weddings here! We found our caterer through this event, discovered a cake we weren't too fond of, found a vintage decorator to work with, and even reconnected with an old friend from long ago only to discover we a) live 5 minutes apart, b) we are getting married at the same location, and c) I really needed to contact her wedding coordinator and now she's also my coordinator. Lots of things that normally you'd pay money for tastings and trials but here was everyone's work out for all to see and it was only $35 a person. I saw bridal shows asking for more money and those are just places where run of the mill vendors from all over the place harass you into buying things. Give this a whirl if you want something fresh, fun, and YOU. If you have an extra long engagement, go twice! Vendors change out yearly and again, they are all local. Best way to get ideas is to see it all in action, hands down. They're now expanding to San Diego and Orlando this year, which is great news for brides in those locations!

Amaris is passionate, organized, calm under pressure, knowledgeable and NICE! She's extremely professional in every way. My bridal party loved her. My vendors enjoyed working with her and my family was in awe of her ability to make my vision come to life. Amaris helped me plan my wedding from start to finish. She assisted me in picking every vendor. Although she had her own recommendations, she didn't push them too heavily on me (although we did pick a few of her highly recommended vendors). She was available by phone, email, in-person meeting, carrier pigeon (lol) at any time of day. She ALWAYS had her notebook/planner with her and kept track of all of our contracts and notes. I never ONCE had to take notes myself or keep track of the details. She also didn't work alone. Be weary of any coordinators who do everything by themselves. Something is likely to be missed or forgotten. She has a whole team of staff who assisted in bringing in my decor, setting it all up, AND CLEANING IT ALL UP! I did not have to lift a single finger AT ALL. Even with the best laid plans, issues arise. At my wedding, people showed up without rsvp-ing. Amaris scouted out additional tables and she had extra table cloths, center pieces etc that she brought with her (bc she's always prepared). She created more seating in the blink of an eye so that my guests were accommodated. When I walked into my bridal suite, she had a beautiful bucket of champagne and sparkling juice for my bridal party. She also moved constantly in the background! She handled all questions, comments, concerns with grace and never became flustered. Lastly, she made my vision come to life. She has an entire floor in her home dedicated to ALLLL things wedding. A storage facility for tables, vases, flowers, table cloths, chairs etc. she was able to do a LIVE mock-up of my centerpieces on the table. When I asked to see many different table cloth combinations, she had them available. SHE IS AMAZING! I asked for a broach bouquet and she had a breathtaking one waiting for me when I arrived at the bridal suite. She is amazing at what she does and you will be lucky to have her. Lastly, she handles various budgets but never allows anything to look cheap or basic. Her design suggestions are diverse but always classically beautiful. I look back at my pictures and I'm just in awe!! She was a joy to work with.
