Well after my explanation of what happened to a friend in my very first blog on here.... I was quite meticulous about how I chose to do my wedding. I had no where to turn... I had no options. And one day at church while investigating a persons profile, I found SeasonedRed Halfpint. Her name made me curious. It was then by looking through her profile that I found she had her hands in a few things, but most importantly she planned weddings.
So with my partner on my back with "we should have been married by now" I contacted her. She was very pleasant, professional, motivated. All the things I needed because I was terrified. Always in the back of my mind I remembered my friend and her "wedding planner from hell experience." But this was NOT Seasoned. She stayed on it. She wanted notecards of what we wanted to do. She stuck with me to make sure she got all the information correct and that she was providing what my partner and I wanted.
Without revealing the why of it... the wedding plans suddenly were canceled. Seasoned of course charged a cancellation fee (can you blame her she did put in a lot of work). And then after about a week or two the wedding was back on, but accelerated. It was now to happen that weekend and we were eloping. I don't need to tell you that I was frantic. I went back to Seasoned hoping she wouldn't have a conniption but she was very calm about it. She was genuinely thrilled that whatever was going on with my partner and I had worked out. She told me that she could set everything back up for me and get a minister and she told me not to worry.
On my wedding day she and my witness kept me calm. I was literally on the verge of being Julia Roberts. I wanted this marriage but I was nervous. Thoughts ran through my head. "What if I tripped down the aisle? What if the minister didn't show? What if my groom isn't there?" There were others but those were the most scary. And there was Seasoned being supportive telling me I was doing great and that everything would be okay. And my husband telling me how much he loved me how he can't wait to see me.
And then I walked into the most beautiful set up. I was shocked. She only had 2 days and yet it looked as if she'd had weeks to do it. I don't know how she did it on such short notice but she pulled it together effortlessly. I don't know how to thank her enough. In fact I think I tipped her because of everything she'd done.
So if you're ever in need of a wedding planner that will NOT rip you off and do the job right... Weddings for All should be the people you consider. As a former customer myself I can't thank them enough.
