Going into this wedding planning process my husband and I were completely overwhelmed but once we started working with Together Events, we felt calm. They guided us through all the decisions we needed to make, and made everything easy, seamless, and fun! From helping us pick vendors that vibed so perfectly with us, to helping us with every detail that truly reflected who we are as a couple, and supporting us emotionally though everything. We felt so unbelievably cared for the whole time. I could not imagine my wedding without them. And truly cannot recommend them enough.

We found The Unruffled bride through Reddit and after seeing so many positive reviews we were…read moreexcited to book them for our wedding! Unfortunately the reality didn't line up at all with what reviewers were saying. After we put down the deposit, Rebecca was virtually impossible to get ahold of, each time giving a different excuse (she disappeared for 2 weeks saying she caught a fever then another week saying her phone was in the shop). I had to ask repeatedly for her to deliver the most basic things (confirmation of the latest plan, a run of show timeline, contact my vendors, literally anything) and she never did, often getting upset with me for even asking. Most of my vendors said they didn't hear a word from her til they met her the day of the wedding. So what should have been a seamless process was all over the place. The day of was worse. They didn't play our song as we walked down the aisle, left the ceremony venue a mess (so much so that my wife and I had to return to clean the venue ourselves the next day), messed up our seating chart despite several emails with super clear instructions and dropped the ball on almost everything we asked them to do. You truly get what you pay for here. Unless you like working on your wedding hire a different coordinator.

Luis was an absolute star day-of coordinator for our wedding day. He fielded our many emails and…read morequestions leading up to the event with kindness and patience, and encouraged us to call or text with any updates as the day drew closer. He created an extremely detailed timeline for our wedding day and coordinated with all vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. On the day of, he kept us on schedule almost down to the minute, and responded to any unexpected events calmly and with professionalism and positivity. He set up our decor just as we'd envisioned (and sometimes even better), and at the end of the night packed it up just as carefully. We especially appreciated how attentive he was to our parents and to our guests with dietary restrictions. Whether it was reworking floral arrangements to create an extra boutonniere just before family photos, or enlisting the venue coordinator to repair our cake topper in the middle of the reception when we thought it was beyond saving, we were consistently impressed with Luis's dedication, resourcefulness, and professionalism. I am naturally a very anxious person, but as soon as I saw Luis in action I knew that I could relax and that he had everything under control. At the end of the night he even personally followed the delivery driver back to our hotel to ensure our decor was returned safely. Many of our guests commented on how smoothly everything ran and how much fun they had. We can't thank Luis enough for going above and beyond to ensure we had a truly enjoyable and memorable wedding!

From the beginning, they asked thoughtful questions to understand our needs and wants better, took thorough notes, and many months later recalled and referenced even the smallest details that we had mentioned at our first meeting. They laid out timelines, kept track of contracts and budgets, the gave us a heads up on what we would be tackling next and when. I felt confident everything would come together at all times. There was never a frantic moment in the planning process. They knocked every vendor recommendation out of the park and never pushed us in any one direction and brought an element of calming reassurance to the whole process. They made everything so stress-free, and I felt like we were in such good hands the whole way through but especially on the day itself where they were both so present, calm, and helpful. I know people always say that something will go wrong on your wedding day and to just let go, but thanks to TKE I can honestly say nothing went wrong!

Whatever you do...BOOK THIS COMPANY!…read more Molly @ MR was our absolute hero. Sometimes, you meet someone you connect with instantly who is so genuine and kind, and you know you need them in your orbit. Our very first call with Molly was 5 months out from our wedding, and it was like breathing a huge sigh of relief. Wedding planning is hard and stressful work -- and there are so many timelines and articles on the internet telling you you are always behind on something. To have a friendly face on our team who was there support us, tell us we're doing great, give us our own PERSONAL timelines, coordinate with our vendors, be there for all of our questions -- was something we were so grateful to have. We booked their coordination package, and will never forget Molly saying that at 60 days out, their goal is for us to enjoy the days leading up to the wedding rather than feel stressed. You don't get those days back! That really stuck with us and rang true! On the day of the wedding, Molly and Mina were on top of everything. We saw them running around and working hard, but somehow Molly was always there when I turned around needed her for a hug, or a smile, or a tide pen, or a much needed glass of champagne. She is incredibly committed but also calm, cool and collected. If you're planning a wedding, you will be in the best hands with Modern Rebel. Not only do they get the job done, they do it all with a very genuine and personalized approach that is unmatched.

Top Takeaway: Our wedding day would not have been as particularly and perfectly us without Cait and…read moreChelsea at Modern Rebel. They took seriously our devotion to blending our families' cultures and history into the aesthetic and spirit of the day, and they found vendors who not only respected but celebrated that commitment in their own professional expertise and expert execution. Prep Process: Cait and Chelsea paced the wedding planning process so that we had enough time to consider every tiny detail without every choice being overwhelming. Their onboarding process ensures that every element is covered, including details we never even knew to consider. They developed a Trello workspace that mapped out every month, every task, and every question we would cover over the course of a year. Every time we had a question about the next step, Cait already had a spreadsheet, questionnaire, or form prepared to document and structure our next move. Investment and Value: The overwhelming abundance of wedding vendors is the biggest reason we sought a wedding planner. We needed a partner and a guide to interpret our desires and connect us with the best professionals who would not only align with but celebrate and enhance the vision for our wedding. Cait and Chelsea overdelivered. Their vendor matching process was thorough, considerate, creative, and responsive. From deep experience, they know who will really connect with you. It's not just a simple vibe match, it's finding people with an artistic practice that resonates with you - photographers, florists, musicians, stylists, stationers - and they understand how to take the amorphous desires of completely green people and translate them into concrete asks. They built an experience that was more than the sum of its parts. Creativity: Cait and Chelsea treated every out-of-left-field idea seriously and saw a way to add it to our vision while staying true to our mantra: warm, thoughtful, and cohesive. We joked about, among other things, a sweetheart bench instead of chairs for our table; an art installation that captured the "invisible strings of love" instead of a guest book; to incorporate bingo into our escort cards; to project a video on a massive wall for our grand entrance. In Cait and Chelsea's hands, every small wish became a reality. They took us seriously, asked "Why not?", and they made it happen in grander fashion than we could've fathomed.

Ara Farnam of Rock Paper Scissors provided day-of event styling for my restaurant wedding reception…read moreand she was terrific! A month before the wedding, we had a meeting with her and the restaurant owner for a tasting and to discuss the setup details. We were so happy she was there because she helped me understand the table setup logistics and she helped us choose the food we had served. Since I was on a budget, I purchased all of the decorations and set up the sample guest tables and welcome table on my dining room table at home, took pictures, and emailed them to her the week before the wedding. The morning of the reception, she arrived at the restaurant, received my decorations and floral arrangements from the messenger service and styled the room to perfection! It was amazing how calm I felt that morning because I knew Ara had the decorating covered. Ara is extremely talented, professional, and warm. She was there to greet me when I arrived at the restaurant and even put the boutonniere on my husband's suit jacket. She is definitely a great person to work with and I recommend her to anyone that needs any kind of event styling. She offers different event styling packages to suit different budgets. My wedding was a success thanks to Ara! Can't wait to work with her again!! Maybe for my anniversary party!

I thought I knew that planning a wedding was a huge undertaking...I had NO idea exactly how huge until we started. Raquel has been a reputable person in the profession for a long time, and she has a plethora of vendors and venues that are completely thrilled to work with her. She listens deeply to your vision and hopes for your wedding, and she starts pulling ideas from all her wisdom. Raquel has done countless versions of weddings - ours was much less "traditional" and she was totally on board and our steadfast advocate. Raquel is extremely organized and utilizes all her experience to make spot on suggestions that serve as an incredibly helpful guide when it comes to the MANY considerations of the event. Raquel truly respects and appreciates how important this moment is in her clients lives, and is caring, invested, and honoring of that. In the midst of all the chaos of decisions, Raquel helped ground us, get excited and have a good laugh. Weddings bring up a lot for people, and Raquel is well versed in effectively and compassionately managing the complex dynamics of families. And she and her team were checking in with us throughout the entirety of the day. If I had to say it in a sentence: Raquel goes absolutely ABOVE AND BEYOND to facilitate a smooth and joyful process and full heartedly supports her clients in realizing a wedding that is authentically and beautifully them. Thank you so much, Raquel. You are a special person and business owner. I kept editing this review to add more, because it feels really hard to encapsulate our appreciation.

We wanted some who was: Organized, task orientated, managed events in various settings, someone who took charge. We also wanted someone who understood how important it was to incorporate our cultures together, who will get how to blend tradition with modern and keep our integrity. What we got was this and so much more: Raquel met every single thing and more!! After a month of searching and several failed interviews I was recommended Raquel. I had no background info on her or her company but I was willing to give it try. Within hours of emailing her we set a time for a call and we hit it off! Raquel was straight forward, she explained that she has been in the wedding business for many many years but 2021 she was going to start out on her own. She provided me with info of her employer knowing well that I could have gone to them instead, but she was extremely transparent and we really appreciate that. She then led with her background in management and event planning. We spoke about being BIPOC and how important that is to her and the clients she serves. We hit it off within 5 minutes on the phone, I gave her my vision of mixing Mexican/Ecuadorian cultures with a modern twist and she was on it. She was coming with ideas that I also had and I knew then that she was the one to make our wedding a reality. We started planning in Nov 2020 and married in Oct 2021. Raquel was always communicating with us, searched vendors for us, handled the contracts and communication, had deadlines set up, kept us in budget. We were on a shared google drive that had every detail of our wedding. She was readily available leading to the month before, she was a text, call away. She kept it real, she knew when to say "hey maybe we can try something else out" I loved it, she had a back up plan for everything! She also kept in mind our families and how important it was to show our families how a 1st generation couple can still keep our roots but also embrace our cultural backgrounds. Raquel was a true blessing. On the big day she and her team were amazing, always made sure I was happy and taken cared of. Things probably went wrong but I had no idea, that's how smooth the day went for us. We spent many months planning this wedding Raquel has become much more than our planner but a true friend, she had our backs and we wish her all the best in her company. We are truly honored to have had Just Say Yes conduct our wedding!!!!
