As a bride, I didn't need a lot of help on the creative side, but Mandy's help was crucial to getting everything executed. Without her organization and recommendations for vendors, I guarantee we would have arrived at our wedding day with a lot of enthusiasm and very little actual wedding Also, I appreciated throughout the process that when I wanted to go with my own vendor or DIY, Mandy was very open to those ideas- I never felt pushed to choose someone she prefers to work with or anything like that. As a fellow wedding vendor, we have collaborated since and it has been a joy to watch her creative design and styling process as well. Mandy has extremely chic taste, and yet she is a chameleon when it comes to creating events and inspiration shoots that are unique, creative, and show incredible variety. It is always a pleasure to work with her and see what she comes up with. I highly recommend bringing Mandy in to make your planning process as smooth as possible, resulting in the wedding you wanted, elevated.

The materials and tips that Missy gave were extremely helpful. I have been referencing my notes constantly as I have been planning my wedding. She was able to cover every detail of a wedding and mentioned things that I would have never thought of on my own. I went in to the workshop nervous and intimidated by the amount of information she told us we would be covering and left with the motivation and confidence to plan a wedding that I know will be amazing. My fiance went as well and we were extremely impressed with Missy's ability to get the groom as excited about planning a wedding as the rest of the brides in the room! She was also able to offer personalized tips for everyone's unique wedding. This is without a doubt a must for anyone planning a wedding! Missy is amazing and I cannot imagine planning my wedding without taking this workshop.

I am…read moreplanning a very large DIY wedding for next summer, and the process has been (unsurprisingly) a very difficult and stressful one. Mostly, my family had no idea where to begin. That's where Missy and iDo Wedding Workshops came in. In one Saturday, my mother and I heard more pertinent and helpful information than I've found in all my months of careful research. Missy organized the day perfectly: she addressed so many nuances of weddings, from budgeting to negotiating gratuities to handling busybody family members to recent trends in lighting and wedding music. The day flowed so smoothly and presented the information in a very clear and organized structure. Mostly, after the iDo Wedding Workshop, I felt completely confident that I could plan my own wedding and it would be a success. Missy is a complete wealth of knowledge, incredibly friendly and engaging, and provided hilarious and informative stories about her ample experience in the wedding industry. This workshop is a MUST-HAVE for all brides. Whether it's a destination wedding for 20 immediate family members or a giant wedding of 300, iDo Wedding Workshops covers it all. I could not have been more impressed!

Megan Whithed from Tangorra Wedding Planning was our day-of coordinator for our May 30th wedding…read more Hiring a day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process, and Tangorra Wedding Planning offers that service at a really great price. I first met with Megan months before our wedding and we had a couple of two-hour-long meetings before the week of our wedding, besides many emails and phone calls (she would even pick up her cell phone on her way to another client's reception to help me). We had already hired almost all our vendors, but Megan also helped me with DJ recommendations. The week before our wedding Megan did an amazing amount of behind-the-scenes work, coordinating a schedule with all our vendors, checking that no detail had been overlooked, and coordinating the drop-off of place cards and cake servers/toppers with me the day before the wedding. The big day came and....my husband and I enjoyed every minute of it! Most importantly, we didn't have to worry about anything, because Megan and her assistant made sure everything flowed smoothly and everyone was where they needed to be. All we had to think about was having fun and enjoying the beginning of our marriage. Tangorra Wedding Planning has a studio in the North End, in addition to Newburyport. I highly recommend hiring them, and the day-of package was budget-friendly, especially given how much it reduces wedding day stress!

Things get hectic and something unexpected comes up ... no worries Carly has you covered in her calm and composed demeanor which was certainly appreciated when it was necessary. And let me say this, how many event coordinators help you go on an all out search from several states away and help score a hard to find pattern for place settings with no hesitation? Carly and Pave the Way did. Oh and she toted it all the way to the venue. Heartfelt gratitude.

She quickly took the reigns and established contact with our vendors to set up a comprehensive timeline, ensuring that everything on the big day would go according to plan. A week and a half before the wedding, she met us at the venue and did a walk through with management, figuring out how the different parts of the day would flow, asking questions we hadn't even thought to ask. On the day of, Carly set up all of our DIY decorations and flowers BEAUTIFULLY and, in concert with the venue, she managed the flow of the entire day, making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be at all times. She handled all the payments for our vendors so we didn't have to worry - we could just sit back and enjoy our day. She seemed to be everywhere, and she was always right where we needed her, checking in on us, but never obtrusive in any way. She was easy to reach and very responsive, and she accommodated all of our last minute requests without batting an eye. I honestly couldn't have been happier with Carly's services and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a day-of coordinator!!!

I am a super type A person and a project manager for work so I didn't know if I needed a wedding planner. I am SO glad I did. Courtney's communication, organization and DIY skills are unmatched. The money we spent hiring her we saved tenfold by all her amazing skills and tips. Also Courtney had unlimited calls/texts through out the process. Thank you so much to Courtney and her entire team we are so thankful. Not to forget Courtney is also amazing at florals. To help keep us in budget she did ALL our florals and they were stunning.

This is the worst woman I have ever met in my life. She robbed me of my deposit despite the fact…read moreshe didn't do anything besides google things. I had to hire another planner who did the job in 3 weeks. I hired Veronica in May for my baby's birthday and 7 months later still nothing was done and she refused to give me back my money. She then texted me extremely threatening texts almost 3 months after my event to remove my one star review or she will sue me. She would then block me and then unblock me and continue to send threatening messages. This woman wants to keep her shady business practice behind wraps. She also threatened me about someone else leaving her a bad review. Her google reviews are mainly all one star reviews. She is the worst thing to ever happen to me. I wish I contacted the other party planning business before I came into contact with this evil person. I have included screen shots of her harassment. I have informed the police department and will take all legal measures should she continue to threaten and harass me. Her number is listed to show you she is the evil person behind these texts. Oh and she kept my money and did no work for what I paid her for. Keep that in mind. Google her. There is nothing but bad things written about her all over the internet let alone her google reviews. I should have read about all her unhappy customers and negative articles written To Veronica's comment: YOU are an absolute liar. I don't need to speak on whatever crap you're saying because a simple search of your google reviews will show all of the horrible reviews you have. If you google "blue ivy and Beyoncé" you can see articles of Beyoncé asking for a restraining order against this awful woman. Poor excuse for a human being! Literally everything she wrote in her response to my comment is a lie and don't entertain her BS! One simple google search will SHOW all her unhappy customers dating back YEARS!

Being in the wedding industry myself, I am extremely picky about who to entrust on our big day. Having a wealth of contacts to plan our own wedding, we undoubtedly knew Veronica was THE ONE for us! From our first interview with her she was on point, meticulous and had a back up plan for our "back up plan". She listened to our needs and wedding vision, kept me motivated and on time with my checklists and truly "got it". From day one I conveyed to her that we were looking for a "bulldog" day of coordinator/Superwoman that could handle a large wedding party (11 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen), large family, out of towner guests and whatever drama might enfold. I wanted someone as detailed as I am, if not more but who truly cares and understands the entire process. We found all that in Veronica, and then some! Her attention to detail is above and beyond. She has her templates, checklists and timelines down to a science. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch (at least that I am aware of). That's what I call a GREAT day of coordinator. I was never concerned or bothered by things that came up because it was fixed before I even knew about it. She was there for us until the very end which was 1:00 AM and was so attentive and checked in on us often!! LOVE that! By the way, she's so much fun and had a blast singing/dancing along with her and our FAB DJ. Our family and friends fell in love with her as well, that I almost forgot she was my planner. :) In a good way that is. She was extremely professional but was so down to earth, she was like family. She's a friend for life!! I highly recommend her and her team. In conclusion: Do yourself a favor, stop looking and call Veronica for your big day!

I was really impressed with the number of hors d'oeuvres on offer, as well as the variety! We noshed on mini hamburgers, chicken on biscuits, baby cubans, some cheesy thing (I thought it was a quiche but my roommate said it was a quesadilla), and some kind of rice ball with dipping sauce. And the desserts! Whoa. Chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick, anyone? How about chocolate mousse cups? Chocolate chip cookies? Yes, please. I'm pretty sure they also brought the bartender, who served up some stiff drinks. These guys were professional, efficient, and made some seriously tasty food. Word.

Cuisine Chez Vous catered my wedding on 6/5/10 and the experience was just fabulous!…read more Walter, Michelle, Fiona, and gang were all amazing! From our initial meeting to the final event, everything was perfect! The food was amazing and not at all like some of the wedding fare I've had in the past. The food during our tasting was delicious and it was replicated exactly on our big day for about 200 guests. Definitely what a starving bride ordered :) Between the mini burgers Stilton jam, Parmesan crusted artichokes, prosciutto wrapped mozzarella, Carolina BBQ on a cornmeal cracker and ALL of our wonderful entrees (including a Gorgonzola stuffed chicken that was out of this world) I was definitely testing the limits of the strength of my corset! Walter was great to deal with throughout the process and I can't begin to describe how impressed I was at how Michelle and Walter paid attention to every detail I described for the big day. I had spent nearly 16 months preparing every detail and to leave it in someone else's hands for my wedding day was a difficult task. The reception hall, tables, candy bar etc. looked exactly like how I envisioned and I couldn't have been happier. They did an absolutely fantastic job. They also did a great job in dealing with a couple of wedding related hiccups, including our earlier than expected arrival to the wedding reception and the thunderstorms during our outdoor cocktail hour. The transition and how they dealt with everything was smooth and professional. EVERYTHING was taken care of. Fiona did a great job with the cake design and from going off just a few internet pictures of what I desired she hit the spot! The cake flavors were delicious and the design beautiful. In terms of cost, I met with 3 other caterers in the Boston and metro-west area and all were very similar in pricing, rental costs, etc. There wasn't anything that seemed out of line and they were very willing to work with me on the budget and food items were requested. Of course no good caterer is cheap and Chez Vous was a hit to the pocketbook, but it was expected and a very worthwhile expense. All in all just a fabulous experience with great, friendly, professional employees, fantastic food, an eye for detail, and genuine care towards your event. The day couldn't have turned out better
