As an event planner, I understand the importance of honest reviews. Here's our experience with…read moreCarla for my September 2024 wedding. We initially met Carla at Château du Feÿ, where she was employed. After a disappointing experience with another planner, we hired Carla 5 months before our wedding, hoping her 3+ years of specialized venue expertise would be invaluable. To our surprise, Carla had not worked with half of our vendors before - even though they were part of the short list of recommended vendors provided by the venue. Despite her website's claims, Carla's design suggestions felt generic and lacked the personalized touch we were looking for. Carla's lack of attention to detail became increasingly apparent as we worked with her. Our wedding had many unique and custom details. Lots of information that a seasoned wedding planner would be able to keep an attentive handle on. The mounting oversights caused significant stress in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. We were genuinely anxious that our vision wouldn't be realized. Luckily, we had multiple vendors and family friends that helped Carla execute the event. As the bride, I distanced myself as much as possible from Carla to allow myself to enjoy the day without frustration. This is not the typical experience. While we appreciate Carla's willingness to take us on with short notice, and she did have some helpful insights regarding sourcing a local florist and unique videographers, her lack of attention to detail ultimately overshadowed those positives. Feel free to message me if you have questions about our experience.

How often do you hear couples joke about eloping?

There are so many decisions that couples need to make as they plan a wedding, and Daulton was with us every step of the way. She made us feel comfortable... ranging from challenging financial negotiations that most couples wouldn't be prepared for, to even providing her opinion when we needed an unbiased third party. Daulton was thorough, honest, thoughtful, and will make you feel secure as you go into planning your big day or special event. Plus, she's a breath of fresh air in a cluttered wedding industry where it can be difficult to find a trustworthy person to help you. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat, and recommend her to anyone that needs planning advice or support.

Her taste is so elegant and simple, and her suggestions for decor and ambiance were always exactly what we were looking for! We hosted two weddings - one in New Orleans and the other in Cleveland. It was not easy planning in two locations (especially because we don't live in either location) for two completely different style of weddings, but Daulton made the whole process a breeze and so enjoyable! All of our vendors spoke so highly about Daulton and how organized everything was. Her day of coordination was flawless, even through a few hiccups, we never stressed as Daulton had everything taken care of so we could enjoy our big days with our family and friends and help our wedding dreams become a reality. She was everything and more in a wedding planner and we were so lucky to be able to work with her!!

While planning a wedding has a lot of surprises, one of the biggest for me was how quickly I fell…read morein love with stationery. At first I thought, "Well, I want beautiful invites but they don't need to be amazing. It's just paper." Wrong. After my first time looking at a Martha Stewart bridal magazine I whipped out my calculator and wondered where in my budget I'd find that extra GRAND for custom, letterpress, heavyweight paper invites. With ribbons. Calligraphy. Maybe even a BUTTERFLY would fly out like in Bridesmaids. That was Bride Brain taking over. A few clicks of the keypad and I realized I would not have butterflies or letterpress (certainly no puppy favors either). I took to the web and started searching, but nothing was really that great. Then comes some of my bride friends on Twitter posting about their amazing, custom invites that were crafted by a LOCAL biz. That was certainly something I could get into. I peeked at their goods at a bridal show I went to, then after seeing my Twitter-friends invites I got in touch with Rust Belt Love. Alyson is such a sweetheart, she's just someone cool that I'm glad to say was a vendor part of my big day. Our initial meeting was casual, we talked a bit about what I wanted my wedding to be like. We talked wedding "rules" and whatnot. I knew I had to have Alyson help me out with my invites! The process is simple, I threw out some vague words and ideas "English garden", "lavender", "pretty"... then she came up with three lovely designs. I again responded simply and then Alyson created an amazing design. So perfect. Then the proofs- awesome paper, she used somewhat sparkly paper for the under layer. Lovely. The colors were spot on and the paper looked and felt great. Mailing out my invites was painless... (besides being a bit behind schedule on my end... oops!) since they printed my return address on the back flap and I opted for calligraphy. So many friends and family gushed about how beautiful they were after receiving them, which was fantastic. The invites are a guests first impression of the big day, so I was so pleased that they got an awesome invite to introduce them. Our RSVP cards also had a bit of a "non traditional" RSVP option which so many people found to be adorable. I am so happy I was able to get the gorgeous invites I really wanted for my big day. Even more, I'm glad I got to support a cool lady and her local biz! I will continue to recommend them to all future brides I run in to!

Syrie was a lot of things- a life saver, kind, punctual, excellent communicator. Honestly, although Covid was unexpected- there is no way we would have been able to have our wedding without her.

Syrie is responsive to emails and texts, has an unwavering sense of professionalism (even when faced with difficult family members), builds off of any and all creative ideas, and delivers a final product that will make your heart stop. She had the perfect balance of listening to and acting on all of our ideas, but also knowing when to tell us that something may not work, and that is so needed in wedding planning. She is also very well respected in Buffalo by all of the vendors - every time a vendor knew we were working with Syrie they all responded with a similar "oh, your wedding will be great because you have Syrie on your side." On top of it all, she is just an absolute pleasure to work with - she is funny, witty, and so personable. Our pandemic wedding was only possible because of her. If you have the good fortune of being able to work with Syrie, you'd be crazy not to.

From contacting her a year before my event, up until the day of delivery, she was responsive, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. She came up with a great collection of flowers with so much character, I cannot stop thinking about them! It was everything I wanted and so much more. I loved the idea of having something unique, made just for me, without knowing 'exactly' how it would look until I held it. I am sure that she would be able to send you examples of what yours would look like beforehand, that's just not my style :) I even got fresh eucalyptus branches for my center pieces--all at a reasonable price and such friendly service! I recommend working with Chicory Kin for your event.
