I understand that, along with the excitement of getting engaged and celebrating finding your person, planning a wedding can feel overwhelming. This special event involves all your family and close friends, and it comes with its own unique challenges.

With my experience and calm demeanor, I will remind you to take those deep breaths, stay hydrated, and assure you both that I'm here to help with everything that has been planned, and even the things that haven't.

    I had a great experience working with Chelsea for my wedding (of more than 300 people)! Even though I hadn’t initially planned to use an event coordinator, she was recommended by one of my friends and it was one of the best decisions I made. From the outset, she was very personable and empathetic to my needs and concerns. She came to meet me at the venue several days before the event to familiarize herself with the venue and staff. And then day-of, she did a great job at keeping everything moving smoothly from the bride and groom and family entrances to the food to the pictures and more. I would highly recommend Chelsea for your event needs.

  • Best wedding planning duo!

    Molly and Corrine were amazing! They answered any and all questions prior to the big day and then made sure everything was executed flawlessly on the wedding day. The meetings that they have with you leading up makes you feel so prepared that there won’t be any issues. They were the reason our day went off perfectly would not say enough good things about them. The best duo to work with who truly makes sure your wedding day is covered from beginning until the end!

  • MUST-HAVE for your day!

    Seriously, HIRE CHELSEA! She brought so much organization, joy, and peace for the days leading up to my wedding AND the day-of! My family, friends, and I could not get enough of her! She predicted everybody's needs before a word was said. She truly understands this industry, and her expertise shows every step of the way. She knows the best vendors, best timeline for your individual needs, and best ideas for whatever your heart desires! She goes above and beyond to make your day your own. Without her, my day would've blown up in flames, and that says something since I'm a huge planner in my own right. She brought things to my attention that I did not consider - her experience and expertise are evident! On the day of, she was SO on top of everything - coordinating the florist, hair/makeup, shuttle transportation, my first look, etc! I do not know how she does it all she looked out for me always - getting me water and food consistently! She is the multi-tasking queen, and her calm demeanor with any situation was much appreciated! Truly, you will not regret having Chelsea on your team. She will make your day your DREAM day! THANK YOU CHELSEA FOR MAKING OUR WEDDING DAY STRESS-FREE AND FUN! 3

    I reached out to so many planners/coordinators for my wedding and so many were either slow to respond or did not respond at all. Chelsea was prompt and excited to help, despite my wedding being quite the undertaking. I did my own (faux) flowers, which meant on top of regular day-of duties, she was putting up full floral arrangements, lighting hundreds of candles, and putting together tons of other small details and finishing touches. I can't emphasize this enough - our day would not have come together in the way that it did without her. She was on top of everything and truly made my vision come to life. She was helpful in dealing with other vendors as well, and did everything with a smile on her face. When I came to her days before my wedding with a crazy new surprise, she was down to help. My husband agrees that Chelsea was worth her weight in gold - I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Chelsea for everything you did to make our wedding day go so smoothly.
