If you’re planning a wedding right now, you probably feel like you are juggling a million things at once, while also trying to make sure you haven't forgotten anything. Vendors and their expertise can be helpful with details you might not have even thought of, but maybe you are using a non-traditional vendor, like restaurant catering (instead of full-service catering) or doing a backyard or park wedding instead of at a professional venue. Things can fall through the cracks at any wedding; that's why it's so nice to have a wedding coordinator. When I take over wedding coordination for nearlyweds, these are the three most common gaps I catch in details they forget when planning their weddings.

Thanks for the kind words, Lindsey!! It was an honor to support you!

Text reads: Perfect for any wedding, big or small. We had a very small, inexpensive wedding. Even with fewer than 20 guests, there is no way we would have pulled it all off without Andy’s help. She was there to handle the mundane, the major, and the unexpected, allowing us to focus on each other and our important day. No wedding day goes exactly as planned, but with help, it can be perfect. I highly recommend Andy for your event! -Lindsey M

Thank you so much, Kat! I absolutely loved working with you both and getting to be part of your day!

Text reads: “I WISH I COULD GIVE 10 STARS!! Andy did the absolute MOST to make sure our wedding day was perfect and that we didn't have to stress or worry or think about anything. She is an absolute joy and rockstar to work with, so knowledgeable and on top of everything. People in our lives kept telling us to expect something to go wrong on our wedding day (meant kindly, so it wouldn't be a shock when it happened) but with Andy, that didn't happen at all. She made our vision come to life, and I'm so thankful we have such incredible memories to look back on. PLEASE HIRE ANDY! It will make you so happy.” -Kat W

It was the best decision to have Andy as our wedding coordinator, and we appreciate all the care she put into making sure our day ran smooth and effortlessly. It was a pleasure working with her, and we know you’ll have the same experience. Thank you Andy!!” -Sydney

Thank you for the kind words, Jenn! It was amazing to get to work for you two!

Text reads: Our wedding was such a beautiful and magical day and much of that fact had to do with our wonderful wedding planner. We booked Andy for partial wedding services and she did so much more than we could have expected. She went above and beyond to make sure that the planning and day of was all as low stress as possible. It always felt like we were her most important client. Throughout the process she was professional and prompt but also helped us have fun throughout the planning. The day of the wedding, either it went 100% perfect or she dealt with all of the problems that came up without us knowing, both of which would be a testament to her skills. She helped with decor decisions, setup, tear down, dealing with vendors and making sure the entire day went perfectly on schedule. We would 100% recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.
