Inside, the consultants looked physically disheveled and unfinished. There is nothing polished about clients with an appointment being asked to exit the store because you are running behind, forgetting who you are meeting with, and putting the lack of preparation and professionalism in all aspects on full display. When other locations are offering you refreshments, accessories and an actual personalized experience, there is no comparison. A picture perfect display of what poor training can truly do to a business.

I would say I considered really hard whether or not a planner was worth it and alot of my friends were saying I could definitely plan it myself along with the venue coordinator. However I have zero regrets hiring the lemon drop team. I do believe that without this team I would not have been able to fully enjoy my wedding as much as I did. It sounds a little cheesy but the day went almost perfect which is not at all what I was expecting. I think without this team I would've been a chaotic mess of a bride the day of.

I had a very clear vision in my head for what I wanted my wedding day to look like and it is as if the ladies of Whim crawled into my brain, sorted out the gazillion ideas I had floating around, and organized them into a very cohesive look. Every time I left meetings with Natalie and Moira I felt inspired, excited, and most importantly: less stressed!!! They are dream makers. The florals they provided for me were absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and guests are still gushing over them months later. Everything looked like a fairy tale. Natalie and Moira really knocked it out of the park and I am forever grateful.

As a bride, I didn't need a lot of help on the creative side, but Mandy's help was crucial to getting everything executed. Without her organization and recommendations for vendors, I guarantee we would have arrived at our wedding day with a lot of enthusiasm and very little actual wedding Also, I appreciated throughout the process that when I wanted to go with my own vendor or DIY, Mandy was very open to those ideas- I never felt pushed to choose someone she prefers to work with or anything like that. As a fellow wedding vendor, we have collaborated since and it has been a joy to watch her creative design and styling process as well. Mandy has extremely chic taste, and yet she is a chameleon when it comes to creating events and inspiration shoots that are unique, creative, and show incredible variety. It is always a pleasure to work with her and see what she comes up with. I highly recommend bringing Mandy in to make your planning process as smooth as possible, resulting in the wedding you wanted, elevated.

I just used It's About Time to plan a small wedding in the South End of Boston, and I can't…read morerecommend it or its owner, Bernadette, highly enough. They specialize in non-traditional, same-sex, and green weddings (though I think they do other non-wedding events, parties, etc. too). We were coming from out of town and looking for an elopement package at a Boston-area hotel without success. Most of them said they had no space to hold the small ceremony at the hotel other than in a bedroom suite (I think it's kind of weird to get married in a bedroom!). Anyway, I came across It's About Time via a web search and I'm so glad that I used them to help me plan everything. Bernadette was extremely responsive to all of our emails and questions, was flexible with all of our requests, seemed to know exactly what she was doing, had great suggestions for vendors that were a perfect match for us, and made the day exactly as we envisioned. All of their wedding packages are custom made so you can include whatever is important to you, and skip the other stuff. Since we were coming from out of town and were a little stressed out about figuring out all the license and waiting period waiver stuff, she picked us up from the airport, personally took us directly to the clerk's office and the courthouse, and basically led us through the whole process! She found us a delightful little B&B that I never would have been able to locate on my own, and arranged for us to hold the ceremony in a common area there. She also found us a really fun photographer and am amazing officiant who was perfect for what we were looking for. Ditto on the flowers, cake, etc. Every detail was handled perfectly and we were able to really relax and just enjoy the weekend knowing she was taking care of all the details for us. And I thought the price for our package was quite reasonable. Anyway, I can't believe this company hasn't been written up yet but I'm glad to spread the word. I'd highly recommend It's About Time for couples coming from out of town, same-sex couples, and anyone else looking for someone to help make your wedding ceremony really special and customized and exactly the way you envision it.

Her help in planning was invaluable, but more important - she made sure the day of the wedding was easy and fun. What I think is so amazing about Bernadette is that is seems almost as if she "adopts" each couple that she works with. She gets to know them, she understands their needs, and then she really works hard to make sure they get the wedding they want. I always want Bernadette on my side! She really represents her clients in a very lovely way.

Through out the wedding week, I cannot count how many times I said the words "I love Emilie"... "I…read morelove this girl"... "What would I have done without her...". Words cannot express how fortunate my husband and I were to have hired Pink Orchid Weddings (Emilie). I first met Emilie in 2010 during my good friend Martha's wedding and witnessed first hand the great work Emilie produced. It wasn't until my actual wedding that I REALLY understood how much goes into her job and how good she is at what she does. While my wedding was in Boston, I planned it from Philadelphia. I consider myself a relatively organized and relaxed bride, but even I managed to fall victim to the stress of planning a wedding. Even with the random curve balls that were thrown at Emilie (last minute vendors being added 3 days before the wedding, trolley companies backing out,...etc) Emilie always kept her cool and helped me prioritize and organize myself. While professionalism and attentiveness are just a couple of the many positive traits that she will showcase when you work with her, what it all boils down to is that she is simply a truly good person who loves her job. For example, after a long wedding day. Emilie went above and beyond her duties and gave the exhausted bride (me) a lift to the hotel. While it is strange to say I went home with my wedding coordinator, it honestly was not weird at all! While this is by no means part of her job, it just demonstrates how dedicated she is to her job and how thoughtful of a person she is. I highly recommend Pink Orchid Weddings. I can honestly say that my wedding would not have been nearly as memorable if I did not have Emilie there by my side.

I can't believe that I get to be the first Yelp review for Pink Orchid! I have no idea why they…read moreweren't on here to begin with, but here goes... After getting engaged and deciding to plan a wedding 3000 miles away from my venue and never having been to a wedding as an adult, i realized that I should probably get some help. I had no idea what really happens during a wedding never mind how to plan a wedding! So I found Pink Orchid through my photographer Shang Chen of Shang Chen Photography who HIGHLY recommended this company. I looked through the photos on their webpage and was a little worried that my wedding wouldn't be fancy enough for them but after chatting via email I decided to meet up with Emilie while I was in Boston. I immediately liked her and realized quickly that she placed no judgement on my budget (and mostly DIY) wedding. I hired her as our Day of Coordinator. This was by far the best decision I could have made in my wedding planning process. Emilie sent me a monthly checklist to keep me on track during my year long planning process and was always available via email for any questions I had. A month or so before the wedding Emilie and I had our first phone consultation (this wasn't an in-person meeting because she's in Boston and I was in CA). We spoke for several hours going over every single detail of my ceremony and reception. After getting all of my details in order she set up this amazing list of all of my vendors and what they were providing me and she personally followed up with all of them. She also provided me with a timeline of events down to the minute! Now, this sounds kind of anal (well, it did to me at first...) but it wasn't. She just had a good grasp on how the day should go and was able to put it all down on paper in an orderly way that I never could have done in a million years. The morning of my wedding, Emilie arrived bright and early to our hair appointment and checked in with me before she went to our venue. When I got to the venue she already had everything rolling. She filled me in on what had arrived and made sure that I was doing well. I felt so calmed by her presence, knowing that everything was going to be set up exactly as I had wanted (or better). She worked with my venue coordinator to make sure the food and service went well and worked with my other vendors to make sure that they were providing to me what they had promised. Emilie was there to help fix my flower girl's pomander when it broke. She was there when the lunch hour became a little boring and helped moved the timeline along faster to get the dancing started. It's those little things throughout my day that I didn't want my mom or I to think about or stress out about and Emilie made sure that we didn't stress out about anything. Emilie helped take down all of the elements that they had put up that morning and had it all packed up in boxes ready to be put in cars. Through set up and take down she was amazing. I HIGHLY recommend Emilie and Pink Orchid Weddings for anyone getting married who needs a little (or a lot) of help. The service was a little pricy, but my cross-country planning self needed some reassurance that everything was going to work out that day and it did. My wedding was absolutely amazing and I owe a part of that to Emilie.

Kristin truly goes above and beyond. For our summer party in 2022 at Gillette stadium, the bus company providing 5 full-size coaches canceled all our buses the day before our event. They had a shortage of drivers. We got a full refund but that didn't help with the need to get everyone to/from the party. Finding buses had been challenging months before our event and now we were less than 24 hours out. Kristin dropped everything and spent the entire day tracking down buses and cobbling together a transportation plan for us. It was incredibly stressful but she was calm and cool. She literally saved the event. On top of it, Kristin is a lovely person and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Swank Events!
