Seamless, meticulous & everything you would hope a coordinator would be!! Brenda was so well organized, thought of many things that I did not & was extremely resourceful with a wealth of knowledge! Honestly don’t know what I would have done without her!!

- ​Danielle + Andrew

Our wedding day went flawlessly! From rehearsal with our  bridal party to the chaos of meeting vendors and making sure everyone was on time. I can't imagine pulling off our day without her!
She has also been active on social media and sharing photos of our event even over a month later which definitely makes a gal feel special. Thank you Brenda :)

-Susan + Frankie

Brenda was the absolute best!!! Shane and I were so very thankful to have her throughout our whole wedding process. Not only did she get to know us, she truly wanted to get to know Shane and I as well as our love story. That was so incredible to Shane and I. It made us feel so much more seen and loved.
