Let me preface this by saying that I, myself, am an event planner. My husband and I are capable of…read moreplanning events, and even enjoy doing it. So, "Why??", you ask, did we get a wedding planner? Well, let me ask you: do you want to enjoy your wedding? Or do you want to be running around making sure the DJ cues your dad to the dance floor in between mingling with the most special people in your life? Your wedding will already go SO quickly - don't waste it by attending to the small details. Jessica was AWESOME. I'm a laid-back bride and I appreciated her relaxation, yet incredible attention to detail, during the planning process. We met for coffee twice and communicated via email in between. She brought up questions I hadn't even thought of, created the agendas, communicated with vendors, chimed in when we needed advice and made our wedding perfect. She's the kind of wedding planner that will make sure you eat at your own wedding (so you don't pass out), will snag you for that perfect sunset shot, and keep the event running smoothly while you enjoy the best night ever. She's amazing, kind, efficient, professional, and fun. Definitely recommend!

I got married a week ago today in Muncie. We had the ceremony in a church and the reception for 150…read morepeople at my parents' home. So, when we began planning, we knew we'd need some extra hands on deck as our venue didn't come with a built in events coordinator. Plus, I was planning a wedding in Indiana from my home in San Francisco, which can be very stressful. I got Jessica's name from two girlfriends, and after my initial email to her about a year ago, we got on the phone to talk through my wedding vision. Now, as a publicist, I have planned my share of large scale events, so I really wanted Jessica to sell me (and especially my parents) on her services and why we would need her help. And that's exactly what she did! Jessica has so much experience planning all kinds of weddings, she asked really smart and detail-oriented questions, but I think what sold me is that Jessica also had an outdoor, at home reception in September a few years ago, so I knew she'd take great care of us. Jessica's support throughout the process was so critical to helping us pull off a fabulous wedding. What I love most about Jessica is that she wants to work with brides who love to plan - that's me! In the months leading up to the wedding, Jessica's makes sure you've thought of absolutely everything and nothing falls through the cracks. We had one or two calls last Fall to talk through wedding details and decide on the right planning package for us (more on that below). When I was back in Indiana in the Spring, Jessica came to my parents' home in Muncie to walk through the yard and help us make some decisions on placing the tent, band, bar, etc. She has so much experience and really great ideas, so she helped us take lots of things into consideration. Then, we had two more meetings to run through every single detail before the big day. She's very flexible on timing for meetings and what works best with your schedule. We selected JDWC's Wedding Day package, which consists of 12 hours on-site on the wedding day, plus planning meetings leading up to the big day. My parents were a little hesitant when they saw the price tag, but I can't tell you how many times throughout the planning process I heard them say "I don't know what we would do without Jessica - she's worth every penny!" and I couldn't agree more. I would highly recommend Jessica Dum Wedding Coordination to any bride who is thinking she might need some help on her big day!

Lilly Lane was wonderful and precisely who we needed for our wedding floral arrangements! So…read moregrateful that a colleague recommended them after they did her wedding! Becky was absolutely wonderful to work with and so much fun to brainstorm ideas with. She was able to capture so much of what I love into each arrangement and I received compliments all night! Becky even helped track down our dog's bowtie from a back room to make sure he was "ready for his closeup" in photos. Each meeting with Becky was collaborative and fun to outline what we wanted the day to be! My mother and I both enjoyed working closely with her and the beautiful arrangements of the day were everything we discussed and more! I highly recommend working with Lilly Lane and Becky in particular!

LOOK NO FURTHER- truly the best florist you can find in Indianapolis, hands down. I cannot rave…read moreenough about Lilly Lane. They are a true local Indianapolis shop... engaged in the community and full of wonderful people. They were a delight from start to finish. We were clueless about the whole process of wedding planning, and they were SO informative and helpful, while not being pushy at all. Prices are so reasonable for the quality of what they deliver, and they worked with our budget and vision. It was such a stress relief to know they were on our team, and would do an incredible job without a lot of input from us (especially the day of). If you are planning any event, especially a wedding, look no further. As the bride, I was just so stressed with all of the planning, and they just made me SO comfortable and at ease from the first meeting. It made the floral aspect something I didn't have to worry about in the slightest. Sharing a photo of my bridal bouquet because...WOW. Stunning, cascading white orchids that were just beyond my high expectations. You can tell they are passionate about florals and also their clients. We could not have been happier.

We planned our wedding in Indianapolis from our home in Seattle and Christine made the process exceptionally easy.

We had a very clear timeline created for the weekend by Christine and she and her team made sure our day went smoothly and stuck with the timeline. Our guests all raved about how amazing and beautiful our library wedding was and the credit all goes to Christine and her team from Boldy Chic Events!

My husband and I are "go with the flow" type people, which can be great, but isn't always the best when planning a wedding. We tend to procrastinate and put things off. Megan was our saving grace with keeping us on track with the tasks we needed to accomplish, as well as taking stuff off of our plate and handling it herself. Through the entire year of planning our wedding, she went ABOVE and BEYOND what was asked of her. She made the planning process much easier and my husband and I did not have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day. She handled every detail, while we were able to relax and enjoy our special day. We can't thank Megan enough for making our wedding so perfect!

The latest one being the Breakfast with the Grinch. This is a very nice venue that has tons of parking available. The themes that they do are awesome.

The Hall has many separate rooms of different sizes to suit your needs and they have catering, bar tenders and MCs/DJs. If you need a photographer, face painter of ballon artist they got you covered. The staff there is very personable and friendly. They throw some first class events like a Daddy/Daughter Dance, Mommy/Son Dance, and the Grinch Breakfast. The facility is awesome and I am impressed as to how they decorate the rooms. They are creative and innovative. My littles had a blast and cant wait until the next event. It would have been a five star rating, if they events would have went just a bit smoother. Some of the activities lines were way long and no one knew exactly what to do about it at some of the events. A bit more organization and this place is easily a five star joint. In addition to their signature events, you can rent the facility for special events such as birthdays, anniversaries, Holiday parties, Office parties and weddings. If you are looking for a facility to host your next event, this place should be at the top of you list. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.
