Monica was a planner for a wedding I photographed, and everything could not have been more perfect and organized. The day was on time and stress free. She's very easy to work with and I highly recommend her to any couples who are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner. DO IT! You'll be so glad you did!

Monica went above and beyond for our wedding. We can't recommend her enough. From doing all the set up and take down. Dealing with all our vendors on the day of the wedding. Monica made the day go by so easily. She is always professional and well prepared in all our meetings leading up to the wedding.

Monica is wonderful at what she does! On our wedding day, everything went unbelievably smooth. She and Hannah (her assistant) were running around all day to make sure things were in order and no one even noticed, and that's the beauty of it! She makes sure that you and your guests have a great time, all the while staying low key and in the… background. She aligned all the vendors and made great decisions. If I had to do it again, I would hire her full time instead of just as day of coordinator. She is so amazing to work with and I honestly can't imagine getting married without her!
