Working with Malorie and her team was seamless--from hiring and talking flowers to day of coordination, she thought of everything and integrated perfectly with our vendor team and our coordinator. Malorie took my half baked ideas and preferences and turned them into a cohesive vision, and then executed in a way where I didn't worry or think about anything: beautiful arrangements just showed up at the exact perfect moment! Talk about stress relief on a stressful day! She provided extra decor too and made our tables absolutely magical. I continue to enjoy my bouquet long after the flowers faded with the photos hanging in our hallway. Take flowers off the to do list already and book Collected with Love!

Horrible experience, stay away!…read more This is a review for Eliza at BEL Events for her wedding planning services. We met Eliza at our venue 8 month before our wedding date. During the first session she presented herself well, and she talked and bragged a lot about her 18 yrs of experience in event planning and stories about how she handles wedding situations. So, we thought she is the right event planner for us and signed a contract. After signing the contract and making the payment, she was very hard to find and we did not see the expected action from her side, and every time we followed up, her response was: "don't worry I will manage everything before the wedding day". We were asking for the basics of planning such as timeline, vendor recommendations (a few to choose from) and communications (which was part of the contract) but not no action except a quote of her own rental service. We were getting closer to the wedding date and her lack of action made us so worried and very frustrated. Eventually we had to get involved and did almost 90% of the work ourselves. She was very hard to find but even when we could talk to her, she would create more unnecessary problems to an extant that my wife had panic attacks after a few meetings we had with her. 2 month before our wedding she caused so much anxiety and frustration that we decided to end our contract with her and find another planner. Thankfully, our new planner was amazing and our Wedding planning went very smooth after that, and the event was as wonderful as we could imagine! With way lower cost than what Eliza had proposed! After I requested to cancel the contract she disappeared and never responded to our emails, which is very unprofessional. Here is a list of a few issues from our experience of working with here: 1- Accessibility: every time we had a question or needed to talk to her, it was taking several days until she gets back to us. With irrelevant excuses, like she would show me her busy google calendar! 2- Push to use her own services as vendors: Per her contract she had to suggest different vendors so we can choose. But since she has rental and flower services, she was arguing so much to stop us from even looking at other options! She charges unnecessarily expensive! By doing a little research, we found our vendors and saved at least 50% with same or better quality! 3- Nonsense arguments and rude attitude: In many occasions she was just insisting on holding the event the way SHE wants, without paying attention to our request or desire. Every time we requested something, her answer was: "I don't want MY event to be that way or I don't want MY guests to be that way"!!! With a condescending attitude emphasizing that "I have 18 yrs of experience and I know what to do"!!! Any simple request would become a long story and unnecessary argument. In one occasion my wife requested that guests throw flower petals while walking out of aisle, and she immediately said: "No!, you can't do that, I don't want my cleaning crew spend time on cleaning the petals"!!!! In another occasion Eliza was insisting on only using her recommended valet service (which was quoting more than double the price of the service we eventually used) and on top of it she was forcing us to rent extra parking lot out of venue and pay extra for shuttle service!!!! While the venue had enough capacity! And when I respectfully said: I am confident that the venue has enough capacity for parking, she got very angry and said: "in that case tell all your guests to use UBER and they can't drive their own car"!!! It was a nightmare working with BEL Events and I don't recommend her service due to lack of professionalism and decency in her business.

She is exceptionally professional, organized, responsive, and deeply committed to her clients. Throughout the entire process, she consistently went above and beyond, stepping in wherever needed and making what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and enjoyable. When it came to our wedding weekend, everything went off completely without a hitch--and that is entirely thanks to Lindsay and her amazing team, including Vi and Tessa. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, timelines were handled flawlessly, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy each moment with our family and friends knowing we were in the best possible hands. Beyond her expertise, Lindsay is also just a genuinely wonderful person. She made the entire experience feel personal and meaningful, and it was such a joy getting to know her throughout the process.

Everywhere you look, you could find something from modern, farmhouse, Bohemian, vintage, any style and any color you could imagine, you can find it here.

Unfortunately, they were not able to do that, but they did gift me the plate on my wedding day! That is now a very special memory and plate that I will treasure for years to come!

Her willingness to help and ability to problem-solve made a stressful situation much easier. The quality of both the furniture and the service was excellent. We would have loved to source our flatware through them as well if we had been able to. Overall, Sundrop Vintage was absolutely worth the long-haul fees, and we highly recommend them.

They gave me multiple options on how we could proceed, and in the end I chose to do the ceremony solo with my husband and this was played for the wedding guests at the reception which we attended virtually over a projector. The team worked non-stop to coordinate all these last minute changes, and to carry out an absolutely beautiful, albeit unusual wedding. I truly don't know what I would have done without them! They have the experience to carry out an incredible wedding, they know all the ins and outs of the industry and plan ahead for what could go wrong, so that nothing does! Not only do you get a wedding planner but you get a huge team of them, each with distinct roles! The packages are very affordable (a great deal for what you get especially) and the venues are GORGEOUS! I truly grew to love the V&E family, and I say family because they really treated me like they cared. Cheryl, Carly, Dani, Cicely, Elise, Hannah, Ryann, we love you guys, thank you for everything, and hope to work with you again, maybe on vow renewals after this whole COVID thing has settled down!

We got married on 3/26/21 and from the day we hired her 1 year prior she was nothing but awesome. For starters, she is truly a kind person who knows literally all things wedding. My now husband and I are both resident physicians and looking back it's so hilarious to think how lost we would have been if it weren't for her knowledge. She made my life 1000x easier and addresses and fixes problems that you didn't even know or think you would have in a wedding. She always responded to us quickly and I know she saved us hours and hours of time by how helpful she was coordinating things for us. I must have changed my mind a hundred times regarding the decor or design of our wedding, and she immediately rolled with the punches and did everything possible to make all of that happen. We had multiple vendor meetings together in person despite being in a pandemic and she always brought her a-game to those. We never knew what questions to ask the vendors, but honestly, we didn't have to! Cortney literally runs the show and gets all the hard talking done so you don't have to. My parents, my bridesmaids, and even guests of the wedding kept commenting on how efficient she was at addressing and fixing all the little things that naturally happen during the day of the wedding. For example, the evening before our wedding rehearsal she asked me if I had a coat for the next day since it was going to be chilly. I told her I hadn't and literally right after the rehearsal, I received text messages from her at the mall with pictures of coats that she thought would look good with my dress. She really went above and beyond for us because at her core you can tell she really cares. She and her team will always hold a special place in our heart and we can't thank her enough for helping make our wedding as beautiful as it was seamless. Seriously a perfect day.
