We worked with Lauren and did the "The Signature" package plus a Venue Hunt add-on. 10/10 would do it again. Super duper highly recommend. Lauren was instrumental in making our big day happen and go seamlessly. We are still so amazed, literally nothing went wrong. It was all perfect. The venue hunt was really really helpful too. We were having a lot of trouble narrowing down a venue, and they provided a huge amount of support showing us venues in our price range that met all of our criteria. We had been trying to do it ourselves for months to no success. This service alone was so so helpful! Trying to research ourselves using Google and the Knot and other wedding websites was no match compared to the wealth of knowledge and experience that YPB had to offer. The planning meetings we had with Lauren beforehand were also so super helpful and crucial. They helped us stay on track making sure we got everything done by when we needed to get it done as well as helping us not forget anything. YPB provided so many great resources for planning. And Lauren was able to answer all of my millions of questions that I had. The day of, Lauren and her assistant were amazing at their jobs. They were so calm and professional. There was a couple last-minute schedule changes we wanted to do and they totally crushed it in seamlessly making it happen. They kept us fed and hydrated and happy, gave me bandaids for where my shoes were hurting my feet and kept us all on schedule. I had so many anxieties about the big day because I've heard so many stories about things that go can wrong and I had just accepted that was something go wrong. But now I'm just convinced they just didn't have a good wedding planner!! If you're debating at all, I would say if you want to have a wedding of your dreams, then 100% higher YPB to help. read more

I had the most amazing experience working with Alicia from YPB, who went above and beyond in every way. From thinking of every logistical consideration I would never have thought of in a million years, to providing the most useful resources and high-quality vendor recommendations, to setting up the reception venue more beautifully than I could have dreamed of, to so much more. Alicia coordinated a very complex Ballard wedding during Ballard Seafood Festival, and made it all look effortless. Any change to the seating chart or last-minute thing I threw her way, she took in stride. I cannot thank Alicia and the YPB team enough for bringing my dream wedding to life!! read more

I had the best experience working with Alicia for our Seattle wedding! I had a design vision and she was so helpful in carrying out that vision with each planning meetings and site visit leading up to the wedding day. She helped us think ahead, coordinate and plan for all the details of the day of and helped reassure us that we were well prepared. On the wedding day, her and her team provided so much piece of mind and relief because I knew I could count on Alicia to make things run as smoothly as possible and that my guests and I could enjoy the day itself. Honestly feel like the best money spent for the whole wedding was on YPB wedding planning. Thanks for making the experience of wedding planning less daunting and more manageable and for giving me and my guest the gift of time to enjoy ourselves and the night. Highly recommend YPB. They're professional, thoughtful, and they probably have a package that works for your planning needs. read more

My husband and I had the best experience with Lauren at YPB and cannot recommend their services enough. After initially reaching out to the company, we spoke with the owner Kim, who was knowledgeable and even recommended her lowest package, the signature package, for us based on our expectations for our wedding and planning process. After the initial consultation and choosing YPB as our planner, Kim paired us with one of her planners. The original planner did not meet our expectations. We reached out to Kim, who immediately remedied the issue by pairing us with a new planner, Lauren, who was a god send. Lauren was with us through the planning process and figured out all aspects of our timeline, wedding day logistics, rental order, and more. Lauren was professional, organized, and extremely knowledgeable. We felt like we got to know her well during the 6+ months we worked with her and really enjoyed working with and getting to know her. We had several hiccups in the planning process with our bartender, who was refusing to provide services that were originally agreed upon. This was devastating to us, as the bar and signature drinks were one of the elements of our wedding we were most excited about. Lauren stepped in and helped us find a new bartender at the last minute that far exceeded our original bartender and our expectations. Because of Lauren, what could have been a very stressful experience 4 weeks out from our wedding, was not stressful. During the process and before making the decision, Lauren was patient with us and took extra time to help guide us through the pros and cons of each bartender, which we really appreciated. The next time we saw Lauren was during our rehearsal, which she ran expertly. We had a loud group with a lot of questions, and Lauren stayed calm, answered everyone's questions, and made sure each and every person knew their places during the ceremony. Despite all the help during the planning process, which we really couldn't have done without, the wedding was when we were most grateful for Lauren. We arrived to our ceremony and reception areas fully setup exactly how we had discussed during our walk through. It was absolutely gorgeous and flawlessly executed. We had a fair amount of decor that we brought and Lauren took time to make sure she understood where we wanted everything placed, both during the walk through and follow up meetings. The ceremony went smoothly, thanks in no small part, to the rehearsal Lauren ran the day before. We requested an unplugged ceremony and Lauren went out of her way to make sure our family adhered to this. I think she would have tackled grandma if we asked her to, that's how dedicated she was. When the ceremony was over, Lauren was waiting with food and drinks for us both. She made sure we got all the family photos we wanted and made sure we were comfortable with food, drinks, helping me remove my veil, and bustle my dress. Throughout the reception, Lauren and her associate made sure we were comfortable and taken care of. The flow was smooth and us and our guests had an amazing night. Thanks to Lauren, we were able to relax and enjoy our wedding without having to worry about a thing during our day. If you want to have a stress free and even fun wedding and planning process, book with YPB and ask for Lauren, you won't regret it one bit. read more

Words cannot describe how absolutely amazed my wife and I were at the professionalism, love, and care that YPB puts into their weddings. They are a true gem in the industry!! My wife and I worked with Natale from YPB to organize our wedding. We opted for the package where the planner works with you and is mostly hands-off until you are months before the wedding. This was great, because Natale was able to give us recommendations and suggestions whenever we would send ideas her way. She also provided us with a clear timeline and guide for how the day would work out early on, which we adjusted throughout the process. One of my favorite things about working with YPB was that we were able to actually enjoy planning for the most part because we knew exactly what we needed to focus on at the right time. Without Natale's guidance, it would have been really hard to prioritize our vendors, and know when we needed to have things done. What was also helpful during the process was the venue walk-through and rental sessions. We walked the venue together and talked about ideas, and worked with The Party Place in Portland to pick the tablescapes we liked. This was helpful because it meant we had access to rentals early on - which were fully booked up as we got closer to the event. When it got to the few weeks leading up to the wedding, Natale really stepped up in taking our calls and texts for the final push toward the event. We were able to know exactly what needed prioritizing and finalizing and went into the event knowing exactly what to expect. It was almost as if Natale could read our minds at times and know exactly what to suggest when we needed help. On the day of the wedding, Natale was fully present for the entire day to make sure everything ran smoothly. We just needed to show up! She was able to handle all the last-minute things or slight alternations that just happen during any event like a wedding. It was total peace of mind! Overall, I am thrilled with what Your Perfect Bridesmaid did for our wedding. Natale was such a joy to work with, and I'm so happy that not only did we have a great partnership in working together for the wedding, but we also have a new friend! read more

We worked with Jade for our wedding in our yard. She was unbelievably awesome. So many prep meetings, answering every little question we had, and then her team of 3 on-site that day put our mind at ease. She also introduced us to a lot of high-quality vendors... which was no easy task since we planned the wedding 90-days out! read more

We hired Your Perfect Bridesmaid to help us plan our June 2022 wedding and we were paired with Ashley Blazinski as our planner. If you are even slightly considering hiring a planner and YPB in particular, DO IT! I can't imagine our wedding without Ashley. Thanks to her we were able to completely relax and spend time with friends and family on the day, without worrying about any logistics at all. Our loved ones were able to relax and enjoy the day as well - Ashley and her wonderful assistants, Sienna and Danielle, took care of every aspect of setup and tear-down. And once we booked our vendors and worked with them on what we wanted, YPB handled all communication with them regarding logistics of the day itself. It was also amazing to have someone working with us who knows weddings inside and out, who we could go to with any questions, no matter how small. If you don't work in the wedding industry yourself, planning your own wedding is the first time you'll ever do it, and it was reassuring to have a professional guiding us through it. We were able to have our wedding exactly the way we wanted it - it was a magical, beautiful day - and Ashley/YPB were a HUGE part of that. One of the other reasons I'm so happy to have worked with Ashley was how easy it was to talk, laugh, and open up with her throughout the process. It really was like having a friend work with us on our wedding, and we felt respected and included in every part of the planning and decision-making. When you hire YPB, don't be alarmed if communications from them are a little delayed in the first few months - just keep following up. We noticed that the farther on in the process, the quicker we were responded to, and the more supported we felt - and this totally made sense to us; they have so many weddings to plan, and upcoming weddings rightfully take priority! We went through a brief period of time where we were asking ourselves if working with YPB was worth the money, but that completely shifted for us as time went on. Toward the end of planning our wedding we felt the exact opposite - we couldn't believe this amazing service ONLY cost us as much as it did. Thanks to YPB, the wedding planning process was low-stress, joyful, and fun. Our wedding was a dream, nothing major went wrong (they say something always goes wrong, but the couple things that did were so minor it's laughable) and the whole thing felt seamless, easy, and peaceful for us. I really think it was the best money we ever spent on our wedding. Thank you so much Ashley, Sienna, Danielle, Kim, and YPB! read more

Lauren M. made our wedding experience absolutely fantastic!! She could not have been more helpful in the planning process and making it so day-of, us and our families had nothing to worry about! Lauren is the BEST! And YPB is a great way to get connections with the best vendors! read more

Stay away- we hired this company. They refused to provide the services requested and would not refund for the time and services they refused to perform. The week of the wedding they confused the other vendors by sending an incorrect agenda/timeline. The vendors ended up coordinating directly with us because we could not trust them to coordinate correctly. read more

Wow, best decision ever! Having the peace of mind of someone handling every detail the day of my wedding was so nice and something I would do again and again. Knowing our coordinator, Lauren, and her team were the ones in our corner brought me so much confidence and reassurance to my day, as well. Everything went so seamlessly and looked and felt better than I could have imagined. My now husband and I left our meetings with Lauren feeling good about the progress being made and comforted by her knowledge and direction. Something really sweet that happened and is a moment I'll remember from my wedding is one of the team members offering to walk our dog around the block. She was feeling a little anxious and if was such a nice gesture and one that really touched my heart. Thank you for your expertise and the genuine care you have for your clients. If I could give a bride any advice it would be to hydrate and hire Your Perfect Bridesmaid! read more

YPB and specially Kim made our pandemic wedding perfect! With every twist of planning this year, including but not limited to a catering change, a venue change, and a 50+% reduction in headcount, far less stressful than it could have been. Her knowledge of the regulations in place and how to execute them was beyond amazing and her overall attitude of calm, cool, collectedness helped us tremendously. We couldn't be more thankful that we went with YPB and will recommend them to anyone who asks (or doesn't!). Thank you Kim!! Plus, they did an amazing job setting up all the details! read more

As an out-of-state bride who didn't really have a vision for what her wedding should be, my partner and I decided to get a wedding planner. YPB stayed true to their mission in providing an authentic one-of-a kind genuine experience--one that feels like you are planning your wedding along side your best friend (except that they are doing most of the grunt work). My YPB wedding planner/best friend was Dena Chapman. From the get-go, Dena was open, kind, and considerate of all my bridal needs. She always pointed me in the right direction or gently informed me of her concerns. We even had to change our venue in the middle of wedding planning, which caused me a lot of stress. But Dena acted quickly and was able to secure us a new venue within days!!! DAYS! In addition, I was a particularly indecisive bride and kept changing my vision for table-setting and colors. Dena was patient with me and receptive to all the changes every single time. She even made extra trips for us to the rental place to make sure our table-setting was exactly what we wanted. Dena handled so much that we only had to come to Portland for tastings, venue, and rental walk throughs - she took care of the rest! She even renegotiated our food vendors and got us an amazing quote - easily enough to cover the cost of her services. On the day of our wedding, I was completely stress free because I knew Dena had everything under control. I designated two people for Dena to contact and she coordinated with them throughout the day, allowing my husband and I to just enjoy ourselves. Our wedding went by so quickly that my husband and I didn't even get to have any of the desserts. Incredibly when we woke up the next day, Dena had packed some pie for us and left it in our hotel fridge for us to enjoy!!! For someone who never wanted to plan a wedding, YPB made the process enjoyable and seamless. Without a doubt we would choose YPB again in a heartbeat. My husband was skeptical of having a wedding planner but even he admits that "YPB was worth every penny!" Dena was the wedding planner I dreamed of AND gave me the wedding I never thought I could have. At the end of it all, I felt as if I had found a wonderful friend on my journey to my wedding day. read more

This is a way overdue review! I used YPB back in June 2017 for my wedding. The owner Kim was so wonderful to work with and very organized. She is very authentic and honest, which is so appreciated when planning a wedding! Our coordinator was Ashley Blazinski, and wow we were so lucky to work with her. She made the days leading up to and the day of my wedding entirely stress free. She was on top of everything!! Her attention to detail is impressive. She always has a smile on her face and calm demeanor. Truly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Ashley. I HIGHLY recommend working with YPB! They were such a life saver and I am so glad I found them. They are passionate about what they do and really take time to understand what you want. read more

Kim is the best! We had so much fun collaborating and making my wedding absolutely incredible. I never could have done it without her. Highly recommend! read more

Emily was a pure joy to work with. We were a challenging couple as went through several locations, plans, and number of guests given our wedding ceremony was postponed because of the pandemic. After almost 2 years from when we first met her, we settled on on an elopement with 3 guests. Throughout the process, Emily was so helpful, patient, and reassuring. She actively communicated and collaborated with us to create special ideas for the ceremony that we would have never thought of on our own. In the last couple of weeks before the wedding when most people are losing their mind, we were completely at ease because we knew Emily had everything covered. Her confidence and kindness allowed us to relax and enjoy the planning process. On the day of the ceremony, Emily ran with all our ideas and created the perfect set-up. Emily curated an ethereal environment filled with candle sticks in front of a tree log to a table with our wedding cake, hot apple cider, and beautiful table settings. It was incredibly special and unique, which is exactly what we wanted. We are so grateful we worked with her and would refer her to anyone we know read more

I am writing this review as the Father of the Groom, this is very difficult for me personally, I am also the General Manager of Premiere Catering and in that capacity, we do many Weddings. When my son David and his Fiancé Aleasha decided to host their Wedding Reception at The Foundry at Oswego Pointe last August, my first thought was that they needed a Professional Wedding Coordinator, my first call was to Kim the owner of Your Perfect Bridesmaids to assist them. She assisted them with all the necessary details through the entire time, helped keep them focused on what they needed to prepare for, it helped me out considerably knowing that they had someone else to go to with questions that I could answer. Kim was there at every step for both Aleasha and David, she was a saint! On the day of the wedding, as I would think that I needed to do this or that, or inform the staff about something Kim already had it taken care of. It was so nice to just relax and enjoy my son's wedding. Kimberly, Thank You! So much, you made this day so AMAZING for myself, my family and all of their guests. Michael Peters read more

There seemed to be a lot of confusion and miscommunication in the very early stages of planning. The owner, Kim, seemed inattentive and didn't inform us that we wouldn't be working with her and would be working with her other staff, Ashley. This took MONTHS to clarify and we didn't get any notification from Kim that Ashley was going to be our new coordinator. For reference, we intially seeked out the services on April, then gave our "wedding" to Ashley on October. Kim seemed very disinterested in our wedding, every time we met with her (prior to having Ashley as our main coordinator) she seemed bored and almost bothered by us. Maybe its because we didn't want traditional wedding nor had any experience in planning. We were almost considering dropping the services because we didn't feel that it was actually benefitting us to having a coordinator that wasn't really involved. That whole experience was very frustrating. We felt as if she only really cared the first time we had met her and once we had paid the deposit that she didn't really care to seek us out after that. She never really checked in on us either, she would only email us replies and never intiated conversations about our wedding. Ashley on the other hand was great. I'm glad that the switch was made because she was very interested in us as a couple. She is kind, friendly and has great ideas. She wasn't she most responsive to emails in the earlier months but as time got closer to the wedding, she was always there for us. The day of execution of the wedding was perfect and it felt like working with a friend. Frankly, that is why we are giving this review a 3/5. We believe that our initial encounter deserved 1-2 and Ashley was a 5. read more

If you are on the fence, HIRE THIS TEAM! Erika and the team were an essential for our wedding day and they made everything go perfectly smooth. Even after Covid hit, they were right there helping me to find ways to still make the day not only attainable, but special. Everyone in our wedding party raved about Erika and her get-er-done attitude. Whether it was my husband needing a last-minute mask to go inside our venue, or Erika and her assistant riding our tandem bike about a half a mile on gravel for our exit, they went above and beyond and I know the day wouldn't have been anywhere as great without them. Thank you so much YPB! read more

Review for Samantha Fong Wilson- When our son and daughter-in-law told us they set a wedding date for October, we thought they meant October of 2022. They had just gotten engaged on June 1, 2021, so we only had a few months to plan a destination wedding (Lake Oswego, Oregon). The first move was to involve a wedding planner to help with all the details. Our daughter-in-law contacted YPB (Your Perfect Bridesmaid) Weddings. She immediately received a response from Samantha Fong Wilson (Lead Planner). From day one of wedding planning until the very last minute of the reception, Sam was amazing. She was friendly, patient, responsible, organized, and such a joy to work with. Sam's assistants, Bruce and Emily were outstanding as well. They too were helpful and friendly throughout the entire celebration. We know there's no way the wedding ceremony and reception could have been as perfect without Sam, Bruce, and Emily. They kept us on track the entire day/night without a single problem. Having this wonderful team allowed us to enjoy our family and friends without stressing about every little detail, which could have been huge ones if missed. My husband, son, daughter-in-law, and I highly recommend YPB Weddings, Samantha Fong Wilson, Bruce, and Emily, if you're looking for a perfect team for a perfect wedding celebration. Sonia and Herb read more

My husband and I wanted a coordinator for our wedding and we found YPB and they were amazing! Had we known how much they could've helped us with, we would've booked them from the start. Shauna helped us so much and ended up saving the day on our wedding! She helped us ask questions to other vendors that we never would've thought of and took so much stress out of the day for my husband and I because we knew Shauna could and would handle anything that came her way. We were supposed to pick up some mini cheesecakes we had ordered the day before the wedding and we totally spaced them out!! It wasn't until we were getting ready during the wedding that Shauna realized and went and found the most lovely and delicious cheesecakes and I didn't even know about it until we went to eat them! Shauna was so lovely and wonderful and I am so thankful for her care and time that went into helping us plan our wedding and making sure things went off without a hitch! Your Perfect Bridesmaid really lives up to their name and we highly recommend them for your wedding! read more

We worked with Katelyn for our wedding and she was absolutely phenomenal in making sure our wedding day went smoothly. All the decorations, tables, candles, lighting was setup exactly how we wanted and the day flowed super smooth. Our officiant said she was the best coordinator he has ever worked with! We really appreciate all the hard work Katelyn and the rest of the staff at YPB did for making our wedding day so special. read more

Throughout our almost 2 years together in planning my husband and I's wedding (I would say the cliché "thanks Covid" but I really enjoyed working with my planner so in a way, thanks Covid! Because I got more time with her) Katelyn was consistently there. Willing and ready to help in any way possible. From finding a venue that I never knew existed, to recommending the best catering company (that many at our wedding could not stop thinking about, to handling the inevitable family situations that arise. Katelyn made me feel like I was one of her best friends which in turn made me feel like my wedding was one of the important things she had on her mind at any given time. I was comfortable enough to bring her my concerns and she was skilled enough to take them with grace and provide options. The ultimate question when discussing a past business relationship in order to get a referral is, would I use them again? In short, absolutely. read more

I really want to give a shout-out to my planner Cori-Lucy! She is super kind, thoughtful and responsible. Without her support, our wedding cannot be so smooth and sweet. I will always recommend her and I believe she is the best wedding planner! read more

We hired Mallory with Your Perfect Bridesmaid for our wedding in Portland, OR on 10/8/23! Mallory was so helpful in reviewing contracts, confirming details with vendors, and offering us encouragement and advice throughout our wedding planning process. We had considered not hiring any professional planning services at all, and then we ended up being so grateful to have a professional team supporting us on the big day. We chose the YPB Signature Package and found it to be a good balance of value compared to other local vendors while also providing us with the professionalism and experience we were looking for in a vendor. Having YPB (and Mallory in particular!) on our team allowed us to lean back and relax on our wedding day and know that everything was handled. Mallory did not come to us with any questions or issues on the big day and made it all look like a piece of cake! We can't thank her enough! read more

Wow--what can I say!? Talia was the planner of our dreams. From the first meeting to the big day, we always felt like we were in good hands. She was organized, punctual, responsive, and FUN! She had the perfect combination of caring and warmth with a get-down-to-business attitude. Each meeting we felt more relieved than the last that we had hired YPB for our planning. I truly couldn't imagine the planning process, and especially the wedding day without that expertise. THANK YOU for all your hard work and making our celebration go off without a hitch (literally!). I would recommend Talia and the YPB team a thousand times over. read more

I began planning my wedding in Portland only a year after moving there, and I was at a complete loss for where to begin. Your Perfect Bridesmaid, and specifically Katelyn Evans, helped make my day everything I could have imagined and more. Without Katelyn, I wouldn't have found the right venue, the right florist, the right makeup artist and have them all booked within budget. On our wedding night, she even drove my husband and I back to our hotel with all of our gifts, and ensured the leftovers made it to our room. Before I began my wedding planning process, I was convinced I did not need to spend the money on a planner, but I now believe that no matter how big or small the event, you need the YPB team by your side! read more

Katelyn was our Lead, and Kim was present along the way if needed. We could not have done this without them and the two additional planners the day of. They are not 'just wedding planners' They truly became part of our marriage. My husband is not the easiest to engage in wedding planning but he actually said this was the best investment, and felt Katelyn always went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect from months, to weeks, to hours, to minutes before the wedding. They truly have the best contacts, ideas, and suggestions. You can be honest when things are getting too expensive, or the vibe isn't fitting your idea. They remember things you said from your FIRST meeting. This day could have not been any more perfect, and they truly are YOUR PERFECT wedding planners. Worth every dollar.. Thanks again for such a magical day! read more

Erika & YPB were the best investment we made for our wedding. We contracted them for the "Day of" package, but really got so much more. Kim & Erika were always available to answer questions and were always happy to coordinate with any vendors we needed help with. They were an amazing source for vendor recommendations, which all turned out to be just as great as YPB. Erika, our lead planner, was an absolute pleasure to work with and made the wedding planning process so much smoother. Her experience and knowledge in the wedding field was unmatched and having her point of view was a must when coordinating with our venue and vendors. Leading up to our wedding day, Erika handled all the vendor communication regarding timeline and last-minute details, taking stress away from us and giving us the time to enjoy the excitement. Our day-of went perfectly thanks to Erika! She and her team handled everything, allowing us and our families to get to enjoy the celebrations without anyone having to worry or stress about any of the details. Erika totally made our vision come to life even better than we expected. After the ceremony she took care of all clean up and made sure all decorations & gifts were returned back to our hotel room. Cannot thank her enough for all she did and how happy we were with how everything turned out. Highly, highly recommend booking YPB & team. You won't regret it, they are seriously the best in the biz and joy to work with. I wish we could get married again so we can work with them again read more

It might seem weird that the husband is writing a review but, that's how much I appreciated Erika from YPB. Carisa and I got married on one of the most brutal days of the year, last summer during the heat wave. 108 degrees while walking down the aisle. We luckily had Erika Jacobson as our Wedding Planner who did more than just rise to the occasion, she took lead. Erika's communication cadence was probably the most satisfying and settling. She was on top of everything and had our backs whenever we stressed, nervous, you name it lead up into our day. Couldn't have had a better day without her. Thank you Erika! read more

YPB- Ashley was amazing! We had been planning our wedding for 1.5 and she would always check in with us. Communication was great! The day of the wedding everything was PERFECT!! I was nervous just like any bride would be but Ashely took care of eveething!! I definitely recommend YPB if you need help planning, and still want to be involved! Thank you again! read more

Having only had one wedding I've only experienced one planning service and I can tell you I would never choose anyone else. Erika, our planner, provided guidance from the begining to the end of our ceremony guiding everyone from myself to my grandmother throughout my ceremony. We often had no clue that a step even existed in this process and without @yourperfectbridesmaid I'm certain our ceremony would not have been the special night it certainly was. I recommend you call this company and find out what strong service from expert advisers can do to craft the ideal ceremony and wedding day for you to remember forever. read more

Kim, the owner of "Your Perfect Bridesmaid" was the wedding coordinator for my wedding at Timberline Lodge (Silcox Hut). From the first email she was quick to respond, professional, personable, and organized. She was in constant contact and willing to help with anything the year leading up to my wedding. My meetings with her were organized and efficient and her "little pink book" vendor recommendations were great! My wedding vision became reality when she decorated my venue. She took care of everything the day of so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Kim and her wonderful assistant cleaned and packed up everything after the reception and even dropped off the decor to my room before I arrived so that no one had to worry about it that evening! My experience with "Your Perfect Bridesmaid" was amazing! read more

YBP is an amazing team that made our big day stress free and fun. They effortlessly worked with our crazy schedules, making sure everything was in order before my fiance left town for the two months before the wedding (not returning until two days before the wedding). Ashley and Nicole took the time to really understand us and what we were looking for in terms of the overall feel for the day, design factors, and specific vendors. They advocated for us with trouble vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly day of. We are forever grateful to Ashley, Nicole, and Kim for making our big day so special. I'd recommend them to anyone who really wants a team that cares and wants the best value for wedding planners. read more

I recommend YPB to ANYONE planning a wedding. They were such a dream to work with. Kim is so passionate and it definitely shows. She has built an amazing company and helped us feel so ready for our day. We were paired with Ashley Blazinski for our day of lead. She was truly amazing, everything went better than I could have expected. It was like she was in 5 places at once, I am not sure how she did it. She even delivered our leftover food and cupcakes to our hotel after our wedding - who does that!? She is absolutely pleasant to work with, has such a positive presence, a constant smile on her face, and truly loves what she does. We feel so blessed and lucky to have been paired with her. THANK YOU KIM & ASHLEY - You are truly the best at what you do - you made our day and our planning experience absolutely perfect. read more

Nicole and Kim were amazing! SO helpful in planning our wedding at McMenamins Edgefield from a distance as we live in Boston. Minimized stress like crazy, particularly in the days leading up the wedding. Can't recommend them enough! read more

Erika was the main coordinator for our wedding and she was great! I am still in awe that we pulled off my dream wedding despite COVID and Washington state restrictions. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day! I felt so relaxed and the timeline went so smoothly! Having Erika and the YPB team there made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the day. Even during the planning stages of our wedding, Erika and Kim were very responsive and providing ideas and recommendations. We weren't able to have a formal reception due to COVID restrictions so instead we rented an AirBnB to have dinner and the way the YPB team set it up was just perfect with such attention to detail. I highly recommend them! read more

Having a wedding planner was the best decision that we made in the wedding planning process! We chose to hire a wedding planner because we were super overwhelmed by the wedding planning process and wanted to have someone to guide us through it. Our wedding planner was Katelyn and she was amazing! I really don't know what we would have done without her. We basically picked all of our vendors through her recommendation and she was always so responsive. Whenever I was stressed out, we'd have a meeting with her and I'd immediately feel better.

We were lucky enough to have Katelyn as my wedding planner through YPB. Katelyn was my saving grace through the wedding planning process- from planning our original wedding, postponing because of covid, starting planning over again, managing the constantly changing covid protocols, responding to my many emails and texts, handling any vendor issues, and so much more... Katelyn was amazing. Now that I've bragged about how awesome she was during the wedding planning process.... It's time to talk about the day of and the round of applause she deserves. Katelyn and her team showed up, got to work, and made all of my Pinterest wedding dreams come true. She also fixed numerous bridesmaids dresses that managed to break throughout the day. THEN our wedding cake and desserts didn't get delivered and she found a bakery and got us cupcakes and other desserts- all in a moments notice! While I'm sure many other things went wrong- I truly have no idea because she handled everything so perfectly!!! Katelyn, our wedding day was absolutely perfect because of all of your hard work and we are forever grateful to have had you as our wedding planner. We could not have had a better day or better experience working with you! I've said it a million times before and I'll say it again- hiring a wedding planner was the best thing we did. Thank you to everyone at your perfect bridesmaid- you are all outstanding!!! read more

Samantha helped our wedding plans come to life! From our first meeting to post-wedding follow-up, Samantha was professional, supportive, insightful and personable. I stlll think this was the best money I spent during the wedding planning process. She was easily available for a quick text or call. She even helped me find a venue for another event for wedding weekend, which was not a part of her contract. She wrapped up details with vendors after the wedding, too, and packed everything neatly for my family to haul away. We are so grateful for Samantha. We highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding! read more

There is not enough thank you's or praise in the world for Katelyn and YPB. Katelyn helped us plan our out of town wedding, she understood our goals and went above and beyond to help us create our esthetic in a town that wasn't used to it. We still hear that our wedding was "the best wedding we've ever been to" and it is all because of Katelyn. She has the ability to put anyone at ease, make planning fun, and makes the whole experience memorable. Katelyn handled vendors and family members with confidence, professionalism, and kindness. We are so lucky to have worked with Katelyn, she will always have a special place in our hearts! read more
