    I hired Barbara for more than just day-of wedding coordinating, but not quite full service. She helped me choose my top vendors and organize some of the pertinent wedding details. Planning a wedding is incredibly stressful so having someone like Barbara to guide you through it...

    Barbara came in and saved my dream day! Where as my other planner did not take pictures, ask for details or manage my vendors... Barbara stepped in and took the reigns! Yes! Couldn't have asked for more.

    Starting from Barbara's amazing vendor recommendations to organizing last minute details at the reception, I could not have made a better decision working with Barbara during the wedding planning. She is always available and extremely helpful with my endless questions and had a way to make me feel better every time, especially during the week of the wedding with the threat of rain. She always had an answer and I knew that I was in good hands. The wedding day came together just what I had envisioned and it was only possible with the help from Barbara and her team and her preferred vendors. I recommend her to every bride out there!
