Working with Wendy leading up to and on our wedding day was a wonderful experience. We hired the Savvy Bride for their "premier" wedding coordination services and floral services. To say Wendy exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. At the end of our wedding night, my husband and I realized that nothing had gone wrong that day. People warned us that there's always something, but somehow there wasn't for us (but really I know a lot of it was because of Wendy). From the time we first spoke, I could tell how detail-oriented Wendy is. Leading up to our big day, she asked us tons of questions to make sure she knew what would be happening and when, and even helped us realize there were things we weren't even thinking about that we needed to iron out. She helped us create our timeline for the day, down to the minute and differentiated by vendor, making it easy to know what needed to happen and when. She even sent out a packet to the wedding party with their schedules, responsibilities, and tips for the big day, which my maid of honor loved and used to help keep me on time that morning. My parents and in laws were extremely impressed with Wendy as well. She got along with all the vendors, those she had worked with before as well as new ones, and carefully navigated the dynamics at our ceremony venue which had its own on-site coordinator. And not to be forgotten is her amazing talent with floral design. She helped translate my disconnected thoughts on the vision for the floral arrangements, even adjusting course when I completely changed color scheme. She also helped us to stay on budget, and talking through types of flowers and pricing as we came up with our final decisions. Ultimately, she designed and arranged the bouquets, bouttoniers, altar arrangements, sweetheart table arrangement, and reception table florals (a mix of bud vases and small vases, mixed with votives and floating candles along 8 foot tables). The results were beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Wendy is so knowledgeable, organized, and on top of things that I had no concerns going into our big day. Plus she was so friendly and easily approachable that if she was stressed, you wouldn't know it! I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner, and also recommend her for florals as well. Ps. If you're deciding between "basic" and "premier" coordination services like I was at first, the premier is so worth it!
