This historic home is absolutely lovely with so many picturesque spots! We chose to do a weekday elopement in May 2024 with a few additional guests for a total of 10 people, and it was everything we were looking for. Ashley and Crystal were pleasant and easy to work with -- they coordinated the music, cake, and toasts per our requests; made some accommodations for changes like bringing in our own pastor; and even boxed everything up nicely for us at the end to make packing up a breeze. I highly recommend this location for an elopement, staylope, or intimate wedding.

The wedding was great and venue was beautiful…read more The staff could be better. Our day of coordinator arrived almost two hours late past the time she told us the day prior and seemed completely unaware of things going on. While we took on most decor ourselves, it felt unorganized from the LG side. Bride & bridesmaids felt rushed and not assisted nor "coordinated" as promised. In the end, a guest who arrived early to drop off the cake ended up folding napkins that we had been promised would be done hours ago. Our photographer also arrived 30 minutes late, due to being told the incorrect time. This resulted in the bride & bridesmaids having to take photos AFTER the ceremony, cutting into reception time. They did not take any accountability for any of these slip ups and we did not appreciate that. It's unfortunate for such a nice venue.

We are incredibly lucky to have worked with Ashley Baber. We began planning our wedding mid-2019…read moreand chose to postpone due to COVID the following year. Not only did she fully support our decision to do so, she went above and beyond in helping us plan a last minute elopement for 2020. We adored every vendor she suggested, and both weddings went off without a hitch. She had all emergencies covered. Forgot the flower girl baskets at the hotel with the ceremony 5 minutes out? No problem! She had extras in her car. My dog getting muddy paw prints all over my dress? Ashley had special wipes that made everything look good as new. She even had a sewing kit on hand for dress malfunctions. I can't say enough wonderful things about her services, and Ashley as a person. I would recommend her to anyone.

Ashley Baber was the best money we spent throughout our entire wedding planning process…read more Planning a wedding for 200 people is one of the most stressful things we have ever done, but Ashley kept us sane and focused on the joy of the day. We could only afford to hire her as a day of coordinator, but she went above and beyond to help us through every phase. She quickly understood what our vision was for the event was and did everything in her power to make it a reality. She is decisive (when you can't be), ready with a trusted vendor recommendation (when you need it), extremely professional and has a good eye for what's hot (and what's not). She also has a wickedly good sense of humor. She is also fabulous at negotiating prices with vendors so I suggest you get that package if you can swing the cost. We couldn't, but Ashley still helped us get a good price with certain vendors and even came to my dress fitting although I'd already used up the consultations included in my package. In response to the other reviewer: it may take her a little while to respond to emails because she has other clients with weddings taking place before yours. But she always got back to us in less than 48 hours with very detailed responses and her response time was even faster--mere hours--during the last month of the planning. I cannot imagine what the planning would have been without such wealth of information just an email away. Unlike some other planners I've heard stories about, Ashley worked behind the scenes on our wedding day to make everything ran smoothly and only came to us with questions when it was absolutely necessary. You have no idea how important this is. We got to spend time with our family, friends and each other instead of worrying about the small stuff. As a result, the entire event was a success and everyone is still raving that it was the most fun and beautiful wedding they have ever been to. We had a blast too! We would absolutely hire her again without any hesitation and enthusiastically recommend her. She is the best of the best!

Words cannot express how my wife and I feel about our wedding planner, Jordan Xu, of Emily Jordan…read moreEvents (formerly Jordan Flowers of Wedding Belles). She is the best. We were truly lucky to have found her. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, we were very appreciative and grateful to have Jordan by our side. We relied on her heavily. Her guidance and support made everything about our wedding so much easier. We trusted her fully. We can't recommend Jordan and her team enough. Our wedding was April 15, 2022 at the Atlanta History Center. We first started working with Jordan in July 2018. Yes, we had been planning our wedding for about 3 years 9 months. No, we did not plan it that way. Our original wedding date was May 30, 2020. My wife and I had planned for a roughly two-year engagement and wedding planning period. Then of course, COVID happened. Our wedding was postponed twice: First, to May 7, 2021. Then, to April 15, 2022. Jordan was with us and supported us every step of the way. We went from planning a pre-COVID wedding to a post-COVID wedding. We went from in-person planning sessions to virtual planning sessions. We went from "normal" tastings to masked and socially-distant tastings. (BTW, the tastings - both for the food at the reception and for our wedding cake - were some of my favorite parts of the planning process.) We found Jordan after doing internet searches for Atlanta wedding planners. Jordan was one of multiple planners we contacted. One of the planners we spoke to wasn't a good fit. She recommended Jordan to us. Also, an Atlanta wedding photographer I know put in a good word about Jordan. After meeting with Jordan, my wife and I agreed, Jordan was an excellent fit. We immediately felt comfortable and jived with her. Coincidentally, Jordan and my wife went to the same college for undergrad (Emory) and Jordan and I are from the same part of North Carolina (Piedmont Triad). We've gotten along with Jordan so well that we consider her and her husband our friends. They are just really good people. Jordan is very professional and organized. With her years of experience in the wedding industry, particularly in Atlanta and with our venue and vendors, I knew we were in great hands. In general, my wife was more involved in the planning process with Jordan - she was more particular about certain details than I was. However, I think I was involved at an "above-average" level for a groom. I attended every meeting, but admittedly, tried to stay as hands-off as possible. Jordan was invaluable at securing appointments with the vendors that made the most sense to us based on our budget and preferences. Here were our vendors: * Venue: Swan House, Atlanta History Center * Florist: Unique Floral Expressions * Caterer: Affairs to Remember * Cake: Confection Perfection * DJ and MC: Andy of EuroAndy Events * Ceremony Music: Piedmont Strings * Furniture: EventWorks * Wedding Car: Ramblin' Reck from the Ramblin' Reck Club * Photographer: Leigh Wolfe Photography * Videographer: WedFlix * Bride's Wedding Dress: Sweet Elegance and Gizzelle James Couturiere * Bride and Bridesmaids Hair and Makeup: Scoobie West & Company * Bridesmaids Dresses: Bella Bridesmaids * Groom's Tux: TRIO Custom Clothiers * Groomsmen and Bridesman Tuxes: The Black Tux * Hotel: InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta * Trolley: Georgia Trolley Services * Dance Lessons: Fred Astaire Dance Studio (Durham, NC) * Planning Platform: Aisle Planner * Website, Registry, RSVPs: Zola * Paper Save the Dates and Invitations: Minted * Digital Save the Dates and Address Collection: Paperless Post Going through two years of postponements, we did have a couple vendors change due to life circumstances: (1) Our cake vendor changed from Lush Cakery to Confection Perfection. (2) Our dance studio changed from Daza Dance to Fred Astaire. A few of the vendors, we found ourselves. For example, I already had an existing relationship with TRIO, so I got them to do my custom tux. My wife and I already had our minds set on a Swan House wedding. Jordan made it happen. She and her team, along with many of the vendors we chose, have a lot of experience working together *and* working at the Atlanta History Center. So, for the most part, everything was quite easy. I think the hard part, at least for me as the groom, was decision-making on certain details (e.g. menu) and getting our guest list in order. In addition to securing the vendors that fit us best, Jordan and her team (including Sydney Woods and Gerard Wright) took care of so many details, I can't even begin to tell you; from reviewing and coordinating contracts and payments to little things on our wedding day, such as getting lip balm for my lips that were chapped from so much kissing. Jordan is a consummate professional. Simply put, Jordan exceeded our expectations and executed the wedding of our dreams. Check out our wedding trailer to see exactly what I mean: https://bit.ly/3laAY1h. Thank you, Jordan!

I cannot say enough good things about Wedding Belles. During wedding planning, I had asked my…read moregirlfriends who had recently gotten married themselves for tips and advice on what services they thought were helpful. The unanimous response was "hire a day-of coordinator." My husband and I had already done a lot of the planning so we didn't need a wedding planner but the idea of someone else handling all of the details in the days leading up to and on the day of the wedding sounded like a great idea. Hiring Jordan and Kristen was one of the best decisions we made and some of the best money we spent on the wedding. They were with me all day as I was getting ready, ran interference on the couple of inevitable hiccups that happened with guests and wedding participants, ironed my dress one more time, made sure we ate, and even played chauffeur since the church and reception venue were so close that we hadn't hired outside transportation. Above all, these ladies were calm and professional throughout the entire event. I can't imagine a better team to hire to help with your wedding.

It's kind of a misleading name because Wendy and Amber met with us a couple times before the wedding weekend, and were always available via phone or text for questions. They scheduled out everything and made sure we had everything we needed. Wendy ran the rehearsal the day before and gave very clear directions and assured everyone knew where they were supposed to be, at what time. On the day of the wedding, Amber and Alyssa were the backbone of it all!! Instead of me running around, dealing with vendors, directing the wedding party, helping the guys with their boutonnières and bustling my daughter's wedding dress.. they did it all!! They were amazing! Always easy to find and no hesitation to help us solve any problems. The wedding was held at our house, so there were multiple locations on our property where things were happening, but they were like ninjas and always seemed to be exactly where they were needed! They even helped clean up at the end of the night and made sure all of the vendors were taken care of!! I can't recommend this service enough!! Thank you Wendy, Amber, and Alyssa!!

One of the biggest things was my oldest's high school graduation party. All I knew is that I wanted to have this at our house and a 150+ people were coming. I called Wendy to come in and help me put my ideas together and get the ball rolling. After our first meeting, I had a huge weight off my shoulders knowing we had a plan and things were already set in place. The setting up of the graduation party was very easy and not stressful at all. Because of Wendy and Wendy's Wedding & Events we were able to sit back, relax and enjoy the graduation party ourselves. Wendy was there the whole time to make sure everything went smoothly. Thank you Wendy for making it where Richard and I could relax, enjoy and most of all, this was a day Victoria will never forget. I will be using Wendy and Wendy's Wedding & Events for all our future events.
