Payton went above and beyond!
Working with Payton at This Will Be was for day of coordination was one of the best decision we made in the planning process. She ensured our wedding day to run smoothly, allowing us to enjoy! Payton was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and stayed on top of every detail, from small logistics that I had not thought of to the final execution on our wedding day. She arrived early to meet vendors, advocated for us when vendors tried to change delivery details, and worked collaboratively with the rest of our team. On the day itself, she handled it all- she managed playlists, made announcements, help set tables, and ensured things were running on our rough timeline without making it feel stressful for like we had to be doing something at a specific time (which we didn't want!). She kept us informed without making us feel stressed during the wedding. She was a pro at handling the behind-the-scenes work, allowing us to stay present with each other and our guests. We would absolutely recommend working with Payton!

This Will Be wedding planning was fantastic! Payton made the planning process simple and stress free. She was there every step to help us make our dream wedding come true. She was very knowledgeable in helping us find creative ways to stay within our tight budget. Not having to worry about a single thing the day of our wedding was the biggest blessing. As a particular bride, she made sure everything was executed the way I wanted so we could spend the time together and with our loved ones. Highly recommend This Will Be for your wedding planning!

Payton is a wedding guardian angel!
I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with the wedding planners at This Will Be. From our very first interaction, Paytons communication style was open, calming, and enthusiastic. She was incredibly patient in answering all of my questions and providing honest, detailed guidance throughout the planning process. The quality of her work was truly outstanding - she was dedicated, determined, and meticulous in ensuring every aspect of our special day went smoothly. When I didn't have a hair stylist, Payton stepped in and did my hair perfectly. She also constantly checked on my husband and I throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed. Payton kept me calm and focused in the hectic moments before the ceremony when other vendors fell through, and she executed all the last-minute changes flawlessly. I cannot recommend This Will Be highly enough for couples planning their wedding.

Their communication was always responsive, clear, reliable and informative, which made the planning process seamless. The quality of their work and the value they provided was exceptional - they were efficient, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly invaluable in helping to bring our wedding vision to life. They took my inspiration board and found creative ways to make each detail work perfectly within our budget. I felt heard and supported with every request, and they went above and beyond to ensure our special day was everything we dreamed of and more. I can't recommend This Will Be highly enough to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding planning team.

A Type A Bride’s Dream Coordinator Exceptional!!
Payton was our Day-Of Coordinator with This Will Be, and I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without her. She helped with every level of setup, time management, and—most importantly—made the day something I could fully experience instead of manage. One moment that stands out was during cocktail hour when our group photos ran long, and we started falling behind on time for couple portraits. Since we didn’t do a first look, those photos together were incredibly important to me. The photographer asked what I wanted to do, and between worrying about delaying dinner, keeping guests happy, and how it might impact the caterers, I completely froze. Without skipping a beat, Payton stepped in and confidently said we were going to take more photos—that guests were happy and enjoying cocktails, and that the caterer could easily adjust. Because of her calm decisiveness, we took our photos completely guilt-free, and I’m so thankful we did. Payton also went far above and beyond in ways I never expected. She steamed my dress and veil ahead of time so the photographer could capture photos of them hanging before I arrived—something she absolutely did not have to do, but meant so much to me. Our son was only five months old at the time, and I knew getting ready would be challenging while also wanting to relax and enjoy the morning. Not only did Payton take care of my dress and veil, but she also set up his playpen in the bridal suite so he had a safe, comfortable space. That level of thoughtfulness meant everything. From start to finish, Payton’s communication was quick, easy, and incredibly detailed. She coordinated the rehearsal seamlessly and took over immediately, allowing me to let go and trust the process. Her work and value are pristine—completely worth it. She is detailed yet easygoing, natural, and incredibly capable. As a very Type A bride, Payton absolutely excelled at taking over the day and made it possible for me to enjoy every moment of our wedding.
