After seeing Heidi in action through styled shoots & networking events, I was confident that I could trust her with my day. Heidi was calm, collected, & fun to work with. Her sense of humor & attention to detail helped me stay sane throughout the crazy wedding process. I was extremely detailed with what I wanted for my day & how I wanted all the details executed. Heidi pulled it off without a hitch. As a wedding coordinator, I know something goes wrong at every wedding. I honestly can't tell you what the "something wrong" was at my wedding because Heidi & her team took care of everything. 11/10 would highly recommend!!!

Heidi was that and so much more! She came highly recommended by our former venue coordinator, and I truly thank God that we found her and she was available for our day! From the first time Heidi and I spoke, I was impressed by her warmth and professionalism. She is amazingly personable and a true joy to work with. She cared about the little details that were important to my husband and I. Her efforts and attention to detail greatly exceeded our extremely high expectations. We could not have asked for better service than what she provided. I had the utmost confidence in Heidi & was truly at ease the month leading up to our wedding knowing she was in constant contact with our vendors, crossing every T and dotting every I. She was also flexible to add on our rehearsal brunch planning & set-up just two weeks prior. Heidi was quick to respond via text/email, she advocated for me with our venue when issues arose & she and her team seamlessly executed our vision on our wedding day with amazing judgement and class. Heidi was gracious enough to hold our million & one decor items the weekend of our wedding, she returned our rental items to vendors for us since we were immediately leaving town, and she even hand-delivered the important items to us the morning after to our hotel room. Not once did my husband and I feel stressed the day-of, even with schedule changes & a downpour 10min prior to the start of our outdoor ceremony. Heidi actually made sure that I had no idea it was raining! Our bridal party & family are still complimenting her & raving about our beautiful & flawless day. Heidi was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding and I absolutely recommend her to any and everyone who inquires.

I had the best weekend ever and have gotten numerous comments from friends in the wedding and who attended how smooth the entire day went, and I know that's in large part to the team at Blue Dahlia.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by how much support they provided in the weeks leading up to the big day. Their professionalism, respectfulness, and grace helped bring our wedding plans to life seamlessly. As someone who doesn't trust easily--especially when it comes to something as important as a wedding--I was able to fully relax and enjoy the day knowing the Blue Dahlia team was in charge. During vendor meetings, I often heard, "Blue Dahlia already mentioned that--we're good," which gave me confidence everything was under control. Their insight and experience were incredibly helpful as I navigated the many details and decisions, particularly as someone who can be indecisive. Throughout every meeting, my husband and I felt seen, heard, and completely at ease. I truly believe every couple needs a day-of coordinator, and Blue Dahlia is the team you want by your side.

She was always there to promptly answer any questions, relate any information, and notice every detail.

She and her staff were there to be responsible for the guests getting on the bus, collecting our gifts, and even taking our luggage to our honeymoon suite where she had flowers and wedding cake waiting for us! I would highly, highly recommend EEE!!!!

Elisa was so organized and on top of absolutely everything. My wife, her mom and my mom worked very closely with Elisa and all had rave reviews about her. I really couldn't believe how in control Elisa was of everything. She remained calm throughout the entire process, whether it was in the planning phase or the actual wedding day. She genuinely cared about our experience and she made it so much easier for us. I can't say enough good stuff about her. I highly recommend her services!

The nutshell: Our absolutely amazing wedding was at a non-traditional location (20-acre lodge with…read moreoversized barn/garage for our reception), located FAR away from the nearest city, and we pulled it off in 12 weeks. Because we hired Lori. :-) The story... My husband and I have too many projects. :-) April 2018: We reserved the lodge-60 mins from Cincinnati, 120 mins from Dayton. 5.5 months to go. We loved the property! And knew we could have our dream wedding-albeit more work (responsible for *everything*). 12 weeks before the wedding we got down to business. Upon realizing we'd have to bring our own water (well water, no catering kitchen) knew we needed help.. else miss something-like, no water!! :-) Present: Lori. Across all of her reviews I found every point of complexity I could think of with our setup (quick turnaround, always responsive and great to work with, remote location, extra guest management, transportation, and a bunch of other things.) When we talked, she jumped in right away to offer suggestions and didn't even try to sell me on the full planning package (which I clearly needed). In contrast, I had spoken to another wedding planner with an impressive book - but she offered nothing in the consultation and only tried to sell the highest package. I didn't need cookie-cutter "done it a hundred times". I needed someone creative, flexible, who knew what to look out for, would know what "done" looks like, and how to fill in all the gaps to get there. WEDDING DAY: Due to everything else going on at the time, I was not able to "plan" details with Lori as much as she (or I) wanted. She puts in so much work beforehand to make sure everything goes perfectly, writing it down and pre-coordinating with *everyone*. Most critical elements were ready-timeline, flow, etc. But for ours, she had to wing a lot more and finalize night before/morning of (decorations and setup, final gaps). Which I'm pretty sure would scare the heck out of most planners. :-) She was 100% prepared. Everyone knew what they were doing. I gave a bunch of boxes of decorations, the basics of what I wanted, and left creative licensing for the rest. She had headsets for everyone to communicate, split the staff between church and lodge to start. And GO! It was amazing. Everything went so well!! It felt and looked AMAZING! Lori kept everything moving, making sure to fit in everything that was important to us, all the way down to the Fireworks! Behind the scenes... headsets didn't work, no cell/text reception, one of her staff became very ill. And Lori had a very major family emergency earlier in the week. But she still make it work. Seamlessly. Her work ethic is second to none, she is extremely conscientious, and she will make your day or your event the sole focus of hers so you can live in the moment and truly enjoy it. The best thing a bride can say is "It was my perfect day!" And they may not know the detail that went into the day, or all the challenges behind the scene. But in this case, we do. We know and we greatly appreciate how amazing Lori and her entire team were! Our moms were amazed by her, guests told us she was wonderful :-) I was really lucky to find her, and actually miss not talking to her everyday now. Thanks, Lori! Our day was perfect, and our wedding was "us", through and through. We, quite literally, could not have done it without you! We highly recommend Lori. She's great and will make your event, your day, your moment, incredible.

Among many things she did, Lori worked closely with all my vendors and also very hard to create a timeline that allowed us to make the most out of our day.

I can't believe how diligently they worked to pull everything off just so we could feel like guests at our own wedding! Lori, Shannon, Rachel... THANK YOU for making our day magical.

It didn't look very well attended and now we know why. They must have known something that we didn't. I have been to several Mother's Day Buffets there and I know that they know better than to charge $55.00/person for the cheap garbage they foisted on the guests. How many ways can they serve PORK(the cheapest meat on the market and half the price of a pound of hamburger), along with dozens of hard boiled eggs at less than 2.00/doz., some beef that was tough and obviously a low price cut or mystery meat. The salads were sparse, there were no cheese selections at all, no juices served, and not a single vegetable was on the menu. I don't believe that I have EVER been to a buffet that didn't at least serve green beans(but then, right now they cost more/pound than pork). The buffet was FULL of "filler foods" like donuts and muffins. The service was terrible. If you wanted something to drink, you had to go get it yourself. That "buffet" wasn't even worth $150. let alone $275.00 There was a sign out front that said "Mother's Day Buffet". We will not be stupid enough to be "taken" a second time. We will NOT be back.
