Arnold and Amanda are the friendliest and most understanding team to work with! We went with them as our month-of wedding coordinators but they really went above and beyond. We actually interviewed with a few different planning companies before them but it was hard to find someone who we were comfortable working with who could understand our vision for the marriage ceremony as a Christian couple until we found them. We appreciate that they were easy to reach, always looking out for us (Arnold even helped us look for good deals at Costco!), offered great advice and suggestions, and most importantly, willing to work within our budget.
Since we had 200 guests and many specific vendors choices (leaning on the DIY type of wedding), we were often on the edge of being overwhelmed by wedding planning. Arnold and Amanda met with us often in the months before to encourage us and affirm us through each step of our journey. Arnold was present with us in our vendor meetings and kept in good communication with them. Another bonus - decor planning ended up being a lower priority on our list so Arnold really helped us to walk through that process and took lead on it during the wedding day (choosing linens, table cloths, decor placement, etc).
To be honest, wedding planning can be a stressful process but completely manageable, enjoyable, and satisfying with the right team! My husband and I wanted to be very personally involved in our wedding (we truly handpicked each and every one of our vendors ourselves) but we could not have done that without Pins and Pearls. If you're looking to get married soon (congrats btw!), we highly recommend finding a team that is honest, one who genuinely cares, and is comfortable to communicate with to make sure you can be at ease and enjoy your big day. We hope that you will find that with Pins and Pearls just as we did! read more
