“As someone who had an unfortunate experience with a wedding planner scamming me (aka I paid her a hefty deposit and she ghosted me), believe me when I say Breanna is the real deal. I signed her for partial planning services and she did not disappoint. For context, I had no idea what I was doing. I had never attended a wedding, and my parents are immigrants who didn’t have the whole American wedding experience, so they had even less of a clue about how it works. I knew I’d miss crucial details and needed someone along the way as I was planning all by myself. Breanna came up with timelines, emailed vendors for me, checked in frequently, and gave me solid guidance whenever I needed advice. Also, I noticed early on she was extremely courteous and respectful to my dad, referring to him as sir and Mr. [last name] and the nun from my church, which says a lot about a person, in my opinion.
I think where she really shined was the day of. So, if you’re considering it, at the very least, sign her up to be your day-of coordinator. I’m an extremely organized and responsible person, but on the wedding day, I didn’t want to be running around. She was very professional and responsible throughout the whole day.
Breanna is always one step ahead.
I arrived at the church, she was already there lining up the wedding party. Bus pulled up at the venue, Breanna was already there clipboard in hand. Reception started, Breanna was already at my side asking me my thoughts on the food.
Before I said it, she already did it.
For example, I was worried my welcome sign didn’t get set up, so I asked her. She pointed at the sign. She had already set it up.
I was worried about vendors knowing about a change of location. Breanna had already updated every single one of them via email days ago.
I was worried about whether I signed the right vendors. Breanna vetted every single one. And they all nailed it on the day of. I cried tears of joy over my photographer and florist and how phenomenal they were.
Hear me out. I’ll be the first to admit I have trust issues and am Type A, and I am the person who is very much like, “I’d rather do it myself because I know it will get done and get done well. So I’ll just do it.” But girly pop, you can’t do it all. And you shouldn’t have to. Enjoy this moment. Breanna is the planner you can count on.
Believe her when she says she’ll do it. Trust she will do well.
For the first time, I could close my eyes, take a deep breath, and know I had nothing to worry about.”
