Where to even begin! Jill Hudgins was our wedding planner/saint for the 8 months leading up to our wedding. When I say I can't imagine how any of our big day would have been possible without her - I absolutely mean it. We knew from our first introductory call with Jill that she was going to be such a great partner and friend through the process. She was thoughtful, organized, and brought the best energy to every detail!

When it came time to find and vet vendors, she actually ended up saving us quite a bit of money by either finding identical less expensive vendors or by reviewing contracts and removing unnecessary charges. The real magic happened during the week of our wedding and we needed some emergency rentals - Jill came through with some contacts and got it immediately sorted for us. I got so many compliments on how relaxed I seemed on my wedding day and it was because I knew Jill had my back and everything was going to be perfect.

I cannot recommend Jill Hudgins enough. I already miss working with her and I know she will elevate any couple and wedding she works with in the future. Do not miss the chance to partner with such a great planner! Thank you, Jill!

It was a magical day and I wanted to post our sincere gratitude for Melissa and her team for our wedding this past Saturday. First of all we hired Melissa early on in the process and she was instrumental is referring us to some fantastic vendors. The Officiant was phenomenal. So many compliments on their heartfelt vows and the beautiful way he coordinated it all with his own words, he took the time to get to know the Bride and Groom which made it so very special.

Melissa was a calming voice the day of the wedding and it was comforting to have her able to handle it all without a hitch.

She organized everything and was making sure we were on schedule. We had a bit of a timing delay and Melissa wasted no time in getting things moved along so that we could finish up getting amazing photos and get to our guests at the cocktail reception. She was our guiding light and I want to say we were so happy to have her there on our daughter's special day.
