The best decision I made after saying "yes" to marrying my husband was hiring Irene to plan the…read morewedding. I went into wedding planning knowing that I would need a capable planner, as we were seeking an elopement abroad. I was overwhelmed with finding a planner when I stumbled upon High Emotion Weddings. On their website were dreamy pictures of elegant weddings around Europe. Their portfolio closely resembled my Pinterest board, a timeless look with unique, modern elements. Irene responded to my inquiry quickly and, right away, provided her availability to have a call. On that first call, Irene wanted to learn about us as a couple and our dreams for our wedding day down to how we wanted it to look and feel. This began the incredible journey of planning our wedding with High Emotion Weddings.
Despite the time difference between Irene in Vienna and us in Wisconsin, Irene's schedule was flexible, making it easy for us to schedule calls with her. She always responded quickly to emails with thoughtful responses to our many questions. It's hard to describe the relief we felt when we realized that for every problem, Irene had a solution, and for every wish, Irene had a plan to make it a reality. Irene has a great system that makes the planning process feel much less daunting, taking it one step at a time. She made sure that we were always on track and told us what to begin considering for upcoming steps so we never felt rushed in making a decision. It was also reassuring that she had previously worked with many of the vendors we hoped to book. Irene's ability to make our vision work for our budget was truly invaluable and something that we could not have done alone. Irene's assistance greatly exceeded our expectations. She helped to arrange our documents for our marriage certificate, booked us transportation for our stay before and after the wedding, and provided insight ranging from wedding dress shopping to our honeymoon. With Irene, planning our elopement in a country that we had never been to was surprisingly seamless.
On the wedding day, Irene was truly amazing. She was available if my husband or I needed anything, coordinated with all of the vendors, artistically arranged gorgeous detail shots for our photographers, and set up our beautiful cake and dinner tables in the most elegant way. Her husband, Mihai, was also invaluable on the wedding day. He was available to help my husband get ready and relax before the ceremony while also coordinating with the rest of the team. Irene and Mihai are the kind of people you wish to have around you on your wedding day as they are both extremely considerate, patient, and professional. My husband and I were able to be present in each moment of our day, from getting ready in the morning to having our romantic dinner together at the end of the night. The day was much more beautiful than I had imagined, and truly everything, from how it looked to how it felt, was us. In the beginning, Irene had helped me fine-tune my vision and she miraculously brought it to life. No matter how you choose to get married, a large wedding, or an intimate elopement, it's one day that you'll remember for the rest of your life. If you hire Hire Emotion Weddings, your day is in the most capable hands and will be a beautiful representation of you and your love.
