Not only did she fully support our decision to do so, she went above and beyond in helping us plan a last minute elopement for 2020. We adored every vendor she suggested, and both weddings went off without a hitch. She had all emergencies covered. Forgot the flower girl baskets at the hotel with the ceremony 5 minutes out? No problem! She had extras in her car. My dog getting muddy paw prints all over my dress? Ashley had special wipes that made everything look good as new. She even had a sewing kit on hand for dress malfunctions. I can't say enough wonderful things about her services, and Ashley as a person. I would recommend her to anyone.

Ashley Baber was the best money we spent throughout our entire wedding planning process…read more Planning a wedding for 200 people is one of the most stressful things we have ever done, but Ashley kept us sane and focused on the joy of the day. We could only afford to hire her as a day of coordinator, but she went above and beyond to help us through every phase. She quickly understood what our vision was for the event was and did everything in her power to make it a reality. She is decisive (when you can't be), ready with a trusted vendor recommendation (when you need it), extremely professional and has a good eye for what's hot (and what's not). She also has a wickedly good sense of humor. She is also fabulous at negotiating prices with vendors so I suggest you get that package if you can swing the cost. We couldn't, but Ashley still helped us get a good price with certain vendors and even came to my dress fitting although I'd already used up the consultations included in my package. In response to the other reviewer: it may take her a little while to respond to emails because she has other clients with weddings taking place before yours. But she always got back to us in less than 48 hours with very detailed responses and her response time was even faster--mere hours--during the last month of the planning. I cannot imagine what the planning would have been without such wealth of information just an email away. Unlike some other planners I've heard stories about, Ashley worked behind the scenes on our wedding day to make everything ran smoothly and only came to us with questions when it was absolutely necessary. You have no idea how important this is. We got to spend time with our family, friends and each other instead of worrying about the small stuff. As a result, the entire event was a success and everyone is still raving that it was the most fun and beautiful wedding they have ever been to. We had a blast too! We would absolutely hire her again without any hesitation and enthusiastically recommend her. She is the best of the best!

My husband and I were married at the DeKalb County Historic Courthouse, and Courtney was on their list of preferred coordinators and florists. While doing my research, her excellent reviews and transparent pricing immediately stood out. From the very beginning, I felt confident that she truly understood my vision--and she brought it to life beautifully. One thing I truly appreciated about working with Courtney is that she does not nickel and dime you. She was always upfront about costs and actively looked for ways to save us money without sacrificing quality or style. She offered thoughtful suggestions and alternatives that stayed within our budget, which made the entire planning process feel honest, supportive, and stress-free. Courtney and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless and perfect. Everything was handled with such care and professionalism, and our wedding day was truly everything we hoped for. I am so thankful for Courtney and her amazing team. I would recommend Courtney again and again without hesitation!

Hiring Peachy Keen was the best decision we made when we decided to get married…read more Don't believe the rumors, wedding planning can be an absolute BLAST, stress-free and an enjoyable experience but only if you hire Peachy Keen. We hired Courtney as our partial planner, florist and day-of coordinator and we owe so much of our perfect wedding day to her. I do plenty of event planning for clients in my own job so I did EXTENSIVE research on every planner in the area and from the very first phone call, I immediately knew my partner and I were in the best hands. Planning: Courtney was on every single detail and helped us to design a venue where we needed to bring in all of our own vendors. She was responsive, flexible, attentive and has excellent contacts with the best vendors when we needed recommendations. She provided honest feedback and helped us to stay within our budget which we so greatly appreciated. When we shared some of our more creative ideas and non-conventional ways to have our day, Courtney didn't bat an eye and immediately went into figuring out how we'd get it done. For all of her services, her pricing structure is extremely competitive. I was so particular about certain details and in meetings, I'd mention something once and the next moment, Courtney had it in our file. Florals: My jaw literally dropped when I first walked into my venue on the big day. I had given her my Pinterest board for some initial ideas and she HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK. I cried when my bouquet was handed to me, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. From our chuppah, aisle, bridesmaid bouquets, centerpieces and all the small details, Courtney and her team nailed it and are insanely talented. Day-Of Coordinating: Courtney will know what you need even before you know you want it. She thought of EVERYTHING and my husband and I felt so cared for and looked after. She bustled my dress, she had food waiting for us after the ceremony in a private room, she showed me how to hold my bouquet, she timed everything perfectly, and so much more. From her extensive experience with weddings, she anticipated everything I or our bridal parties could ever need. I didn't lift a finger on my day. Her calm, fun and lovely personality was just a joy to have around. This review alone could never do her and her work justice. She is truly passionate and genuinely loves what she does and it is so apparent in her work. Courtney went ABOVE AND BEYOND and did it all with a smile and wonderful energy. We can't stop getting compliments from all of our guests on what a fantastic job she did with our wedding day. Highly, highly recommend.

Jacin and her team made our wedding planning process completely seamless. Not only do they make you…read morefeel like family member from the get go (that's how personal their thoughtfulness and care is), they have a unique ability to know exactly what you need without you even realizing it. There were a million things that happened on our wedding day that seemed like magic - we didn't have to stress over one single thing and were able to enjoy our time with family and friends completely, which is so rare for a wedding. (As an example, one of the bridesmaids had a dress malfunction, which was magically handled by the team without us knowing anything about it). Jacin also had an extremely useful amount of experience in her business, so that she was able to access resources that fit both our vision and budget perfectly, without feeling like we needed to compromise on any aspect of our special day. We had less time to plan everything, about 3-4 months total, but that didn't faze Jacin. We never felt rushed through decisions or anxious about having too little time. True professionals. We highly recommend Jacin and her team, and feel so blessed to have had them with us on the most important day of our lives.

It's hard to put in to words how truly amazing Jacin Fitzgerald is. I knew after the first time…read moretalking to her that there was something different about her. She has such a calming presence and was the only planner who really wanted to know what I wanted for my day. It caught me off guard that she wasn't just selling me on her services the whole time like most planners but she genuinely listened. Jacin's ability to empathize and visualize exactly what I was dreaming of was truly a gift. She is not just a planner; she is a talented designer and I can't even go in to the countless personal touches she thought of that perfectly reflected us, as well as our family and friends. Everything was running perfectly and our dream was about to become a reality and then COVID hit. The shutdowns started two weeks before our big day so we obviously had to cancel our wedding. In typical Jacin fashion, she never missed a beat. By the following day, she managed to rebook every vendor and our same venue only four months after our initial date. An impossible feat for a venue that is booked a year in advance! Even up until the last couple of weeks we weren't sure our wedding could be held because COVID cases were going up again. We agonized over it but Jacin continually reassured us and never made us feel bad for having the wedding, even though I'm sure she was uneasy too. It's not easy to understand the turmoil until you have been there, but we could not have gotten through it without Jacin. She thought of so many clever ideas for a COVID-friendly wedding such as colored wrist bands to distinguish guest's comfort level, monogrammed face masks, sanitizing the entire ballroom, etc. and was so patient in answering our guests emails and safety related questions. Jacin made me feel so calm on my wedding day and I never had to worry about a single thing. It was truly the most relaxing, enjoyable, amazing fairytale weekend and our guests felt so loved and taken care of. Also, her team is amazing!! They are all industry pros; most are planners themselves, so no detail was missed. Under the circumstances it was such a perfect escape from the world and we will always be so very grateful to Jacin and her team for really going way above and beyond to make our wedding weekend so perfect. BOOK JACIN! You will not regret it!!!

They clearly have no consideration for other people's time or effort. If this is how they handle a simple meeting, I can't imagine trusting them with something as important as a wedding day. This kind of behavior is beyond unprofessional. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a venue that actually respects and values its clients.

Words cannot express how my wife and I feel about our wedding planner, Jordan Xu, of Emily Jordan…read moreEvents (formerly Jordan Flowers of Wedding Belles). She is the best. We were truly lucky to have found her. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, we were very appreciative and grateful to have Jordan by our side. We relied on her heavily. Her guidance and support made everything about our wedding so much easier. We trusted her fully. We can't recommend Jordan and her team enough. Our wedding was April 15, 2022 at the Atlanta History Center. We first started working with Jordan in July 2018. Yes, we had been planning our wedding for about 3 years 9 months. No, we did not plan it that way. Our original wedding date was May 30, 2020. My wife and I had planned for a roughly two-year engagement and wedding planning period. Then of course, COVID happened. Our wedding was postponed twice: First, to May 7, 2021. Then, to April 15, 2022. Jordan was with us and supported us every step of the way. We went from planning a pre-COVID wedding to a post-COVID wedding. We went from in-person planning sessions to virtual planning sessions. We went from "normal" tastings to masked and socially-distant tastings. (BTW, the tastings - both for the food at the reception and for our wedding cake - were some of my favorite parts of the planning process.) We found Jordan after doing internet searches for Atlanta wedding planners. Jordan was one of multiple planners we contacted. One of the planners we spoke to wasn't a good fit. She recommended Jordan to us. Also, an Atlanta wedding photographer I know put in a good word about Jordan. After meeting with Jordan, my wife and I agreed, Jordan was an excellent fit. We immediately felt comfortable and jived with her. Coincidentally, Jordan and my wife went to the same college for undergrad (Emory) and Jordan and I are from the same part of North Carolina (Piedmont Triad). We've gotten along with Jordan so well that we consider her and her husband our friends. They are just really good people. Jordan is very professional and organized. With her years of experience in the wedding industry, particularly in Atlanta and with our venue and vendors, I knew we were in great hands. In general, my wife was more involved in the planning process with Jordan - she was more particular about certain details than I was. However, I think I was involved at an "above-average" level for a groom. I attended every meeting, but admittedly, tried to stay as hands-off as possible. Jordan was invaluable at securing appointments with the vendors that made the most sense to us based on our budget and preferences. Here were our vendors: * Venue: Swan House, Atlanta History Center * Florist: Unique Floral Expressions * Caterer: Affairs to Remember * Cake: Confection Perfection * DJ and MC: Andy of EuroAndy Events * Ceremony Music: Piedmont Strings * Furniture: EventWorks * Wedding Car: Ramblin' Reck from the Ramblin' Reck Club * Photographer: Leigh Wolfe Photography * Videographer: WedFlix * Bride's Wedding Dress: Sweet Elegance and Gizzelle James Couturiere * Bride and Bridesmaids Hair and Makeup: Scoobie West & Company * Bridesmaids Dresses: Bella Bridesmaids * Groom's Tux: TRIO Custom Clothiers * Groomsmen and Bridesman Tuxes: The Black Tux * Hotel: InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta * Trolley: Georgia Trolley Services * Dance Lessons: Fred Astaire Dance Studio (Durham, NC) * Planning Platform: Aisle Planner * Website, Registry, RSVPs: Zola * Paper Save the Dates and Invitations: Minted * Digital Save the Dates and Address Collection: Paperless Post Going through two years of postponements, we did have a couple vendors change due to life circumstances: (1) Our cake vendor changed from Lush Cakery to Confection Perfection. (2) Our dance studio changed from Daza Dance to Fred Astaire. A few of the vendors, we found ourselves. For example, I already had an existing relationship with TRIO, so I got them to do my custom tux. My wife and I already had our minds set on a Swan House wedding. Jordan made it happen. She and her team, along with many of the vendors we chose, have a lot of experience working together *and* working at the Atlanta History Center. So, for the most part, everything was quite easy. I think the hard part, at least for me as the groom, was decision-making on certain details (e.g. menu) and getting our guest list in order. In addition to securing the vendors that fit us best, Jordan and her team (including Sydney Woods and Gerard Wright) took care of so many details, I can't even begin to tell you; from reviewing and coordinating contracts and payments to little things on our wedding day, such as getting lip balm for my lips that were chapped from so much kissing. Jordan is a consummate professional. Simply put, Jordan exceeded our expectations and executed the wedding of our dreams. Check out our wedding trailer to see exactly what I mean: https://bit.ly/3laAY1h. Thank you, Jordan!

I cannot say enough good things about Wedding Belles. During wedding planning, I had asked my…read moregirlfriends who had recently gotten married themselves for tips and advice on what services they thought were helpful. The unanimous response was "hire a day-of coordinator." My husband and I had already done a lot of the planning so we didn't need a wedding planner but the idea of someone else handling all of the details in the days leading up to and on the day of the wedding sounded like a great idea. Hiring Jordan and Kristen was one of the best decisions we made and some of the best money we spent on the wedding. They were with me all day as I was getting ready, ran interference on the couple of inevitable hiccups that happened with guests and wedding participants, ironed my dress one more time, made sure we ate, and even played chauffeur since the church and reception venue were so close that we hadn't hired outside transportation. Above all, these ladies were calm and professional throughout the entire event. I can't imagine a better team to hire to help with your wedding.

She spent countless hours with me in the weeks leading up to the wedding going over vendor contracts, giving me great decorating suggestions and even located a Caterer (at short notice) to host my cocktail hour. On the day of, her assistant Jessica came in and blew my mind. She and Nichole worked so well together that MY family, who are hard to please, even gave them both a "Special Gift".

There were a LOT of wedding planners for us to choose from and the one thing that stood about TOAST…read moreEvents above any other planner is that every single vendor we loved recommended Lindsay Sims. In fact, Toast Events was the only planner on our list that every single person- both friends and vendors, had only glowing reviews of. We literally could not find one person who had a bad word to say about TEAM Toast. It's a rare thing when you're admired, respected and well-liked by everyone that works with you (especially in high-stress situations) and we asked a LOT of people. To this day I've never heard a bad word about Lindsay and that remains remarkable to me and speaks volumes about her business. TOAST is polite, professional and has great relationships. There is no detail too small and they were incredibly creative with how they showcased our personalities at the wedding. They really made our dreams come to life and protected our vision throughout the entire process. The worst part of our wedding being over is 100% not being able to work with Lindsay every day.

Clearly we had to make alternative arrangements--and make them quickly.That's when we met Lindsay Sims and TOAST. In that incredibly short span of time, using her wide network of contacts, she and her team created a remarkable series of events...all of them at the height of the "season". She figured out logistics, found and filled gift bags, had itineraries and programs beautifully printed, persuaded our hotel to provide a private hospitality suite, made reservations for fabulous dinners (one at an exclusive club). She also arranged for us to drink champagne while viewing fireworks from the top of a mountain; to take a sleigh ride past a frozen river to a nighttime dinner at a cabin in the woods. She organized a splendid hair and make-up session before the ceremony. She hired exceptional musicians and a talented florist who filled the RIGHT church with beauty and joy. The reception was the perfect finale. One guest was so impressed that he wrote an article about it for a local magazine. Another said she had to pinch herself in order to realize the experience was actually happening--it felt like a dream. (Fortunately, the photographer was so skillful we have proof.) Through it all, there was NO stress; we were able to relax and savor every minute knowing that Lindsay had it under control....working with her was a true delight. Anyone who has the opportunity of using her services has been blessed.
