From the moment we hired her Brandy guided us through all the ins and outs of wedding planning. Things that we had not even thought of. Scheduling and coordinating all her vendor appointments was a time saver. She was professional and very accommodating to all our needs. As the father of the bride it was important for me to make sure all my daughter wished were granted but not to break the bank either. I highly recommend Brandy's services. It was an important day for my daughter, and Brandy made everything great.

If I could give this business less than 1 star, I would. I hired Kristi for officiant and…read morecoordinating services for our May 2026 wedding. We had a VERY small wedding of 23 people but I thought it would be helpful to have an extra hand to keep track of time and set up my decor so my family and I could be in the moment and enjoy the day. In the months prior, I corresponded with one of Kristi's employees, Katherine. I thought we had a good working relationship and we were all set for the big day. The day of, Katherine surprised me with the new responsibility of finding someone to transport my ONE medium sized box and wedding sign to the ceremony and reception site that were five minutes from my hotel. They had a car but refused to take my things even though the scope of practice document outlined that they were responsible for transporting decor to the site. The ceremony setup was a nightmare. Katherine kept the rain plan tents even though it was sunny and beautiful out. The chairs were set up flat and 2 in a row, even though my seating chart had them angled and four in a row. Katherine never sent me a picture of the site for accuracy so the first time I saw it I was walking down the aisle. They also forgot items and only halfway set up our easel for our sign. For the ceremony, we had agreed the officiant would walk out with my husband. We were confused to see her standing at the altar before the ceremony started so we asked Katherine if we were ready to begin. She replied with "It's kind of just whenever" and proceeded to not cue when to walk down the aisle. She refused to help fluff out my dress and fix my veil (MOH had to jump out of lineup). These responsibilites were all in the scope of practice document. At the reception, she was mostly absent. My husband and I asked for chairs at the cocktail hour as everyone else had chairs at low tables except us. She said that the venue couldn't bring us any (we found out later from the venue that she never asked). That was the last time I really saw her at the reception. She sat in the back room for almost an hour and a half and did not cue speeches, cake cutting, or even check in with us. There are multiple other ways she did not fulfill her contract that wont fit in the review. My MOH reached out the day after while I was on my honeymoon with all of these concerns. It took THREE WEEKS to even get a response. Their response was filled with falsities and accusations. Kristi claimed we had "surprise locations and responsibilities," and I was accused of not being communicative, even though I pointed out multiple times where this was all false. I combed through all my documents and emails where Katherine acted differently than the agreed upon timeline and responsibilities. I even contacted other vendors to get a full picture of the story. Kristi falsely accused my MOH of being the planner and tried to pin responsibility on her. She blamed the "tight timeline" for things that were just flat out not done. If it was so tight, why did the coordinator disappear for 90 minutes? They stated that they needed more money and extra people to complete my 23 person wedding with one box of decor. Luckily my other vendors stepped in where they failed so the day wasn't a disaster. I am sure they will respond to this review with more nonsensical excuses. Please, save your money or take your business elsewhere. I have worked in the wedding industry before and never witnessed this level of embarrassing incompetence.

If you are currently searching for a planning and coordination team that combines a relentless work…read moreethic with a genuine heart for their clients, look no further than Say Yes Weddings and Events. Having partnered with them as a vendor on several occasions, I have seen firsthand the level of dedication this team pours into every single event. From the owners to the onsite staff, their commitment to excellence is consistent, professional, and--most importantly--deeply personal. What truly sets Say Yes apart is their ability to anticipate the "unseen" details that a client might not even know to consider. While couples focus on the big picture, this team is in the trenches managing the fine print. They are experts at navigating the specific limitations of vendor contracts and staffing, ensuring that every professional on-site is empowered to do their best work without overstepping boundaries. I've watched them meticulously protect family heirlooms and personal decor, treating those items with the same reverence as the family does. They even go as far as managing the perimeter to ensure uninterrupted processionals, keeping distractions at bay so that the most sacred moments of the ceremony remains flawless. As a vendor, I am always provided with an incredibly detailed, comprehensive timeline. It's clear that they don't just dictate a schedule; they collaborate with their couples to ensure every song choice and "must-have" moment is protected. This level of preparation allows the entire vendor team to stay perfectly in sync with the client's vision, creating a seamless experience for everyone involved. One of my favorite things about working with them is their proactive (and sometimes humorous!) approach to "managing the chaos." Whether it's using a megaphone to organize a rowdy crowd of 150+ guests or staying focused during the high-energy transitions of a reception, they do whatever it takes to get the job done. Watching them line up a massive group for a grand exit is like watching a masterclass in coordination--they ensure the couple gets that "perfect shot" while keeping the energy high and the guests happy. For any couple looking for a team that will maximize your budget, respect your time, and advocate for your vision from start to finish, I cannot recommend Say Yes Weddings and Events highly enough. They are an incredible team that stays on par with every request and works tirelessly all day to ensure your event is nothing short of perfection. An incredible team, all the way!

I am not the kind of person to write negative reviews, but for brides trying to ensure their money…read moregoes far, I would not recommend Say Yes Wedding Events Planners. I had my wedding on the Mississippi Gulf Coast because my family is from there. I currently live 18 hours away and knew I wanted to spend the money to hire a coordinator to help alleviate stress and ensure things would be taken care of. I do not think that they provided adequate work for the cost of their package. I bought the "I Do" Package. This package includes "1. Collaborating with the client through planning process, 2. Creating a detailed timeline and floor plan, 3. Taking lead on 50% of your vendor bookings, and 4. On your wedding day, they take the reins, allowing you to enjoy a stress-free celebration. There was almost zero coordination throughout planning. The first two months after I booked them, they were involved and messaging me. After that, communication became very minimal. I figured they would reach out when needed since they were the experts. There were no check-ins or process updates. I reached out with questions many times (most were repetitive because I was not given answers or followed up with information like they said they would). I brought it up to them a month out from the wedding that they had zero idea of any details for the wedding. I even created a document with as much information as I could give them to help begin the conversation. Here are bullets of what we experienced: - There were no updates on a timeline a month out, so my photographer and I built one. The planners were supposed to ensure every vendor received the timeline, but our baker never did. - It took over 3 months to get any information on a vendor through them. I asked multiple times for updates and it wasn't until I said I was calling myself that they got me a quote within 24 hours. - One month out from my wedding they sent an email saying they would be unavailable for 10 days due to Mardi Gras. This was not in my contract nor was it brought up prior to the email notice. I reached out letting them know that was unacceptable and someone would be in contact with me, especially since they hadn't gone over any details with me at this point. - Table numbers were mixed up after being provided not only diagrams but individual bags separated for easy distribution. They also mixed the bride and grooms family tables after being sent the names and photos of the family (as requested) multiple times. - When taking photos after the ceremony, the planner was yelling time left behind the photographer ("13 minutes, 12 minutes, 11 minutes, etc"). This not only stressed us out but our photographer and really took away the moment. - They did not announce dinner like we discussed multiple times. Guests just began eating. They did not do our blessing for the food and when we said we still wanted it, they grabbed our officiant. My uncle was supposed to do the blessing and it was something special he prepared for us. This was not only discuss with them 3 times in writing (including on their final paperwork) and over the phone, but day of did not do it. This only validated that they did not read or know any of the details of our wedding and now that's a moment we can't get back. Again these things may seem like little things, but just as I brought them up to them a month ago. When multiple little things occur over and over again over a period of time, that becomes your reality. I told them I did not feel like a priority and it felt like it showed during the planning process and the day of. I only ever saw great reviews from people which made me second guess myself, but I have now seen two reviews from brides with similar experiences, one of which was the same weekend as us. I want to put this information out there so people can see real experiences. Please take who you choose as your coordinator into account. They really do make or break the stress on your experience. We absolutely adored all our other vendors, including the florist and security from their company! This will never take away from how beautiful our day was!! I just want to warn other brides before you spend the money because we all know how expensive having a wedding is nowadays!
