Desiree and the team at Something Blue Planning Coordinating were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. I am an event planner and very organized by nature, and I realized, just a couple of weeks into planning the wedding, that I needed someone else to be in charge of the day, or I would not enjoy my wedding if I had to be in charge of it. Our reception location and church had day of coordinators on hand to help but not someone to keep things moving, help create the schedule, deal with ALL the communication that goes on between vendors and all the little details you don't think about. Enter Desiree! Desiree was excellent from our first meeting a year out through follow-up a couple of days after the wedding. My husband, who had been along the line that "we could do it ourselves", walked away from our first meeting, saying he was so grateful to have Desiree and didn't realize everything that went into a wedding. Desiree’s communication was quick, easy, supportive, and to the point. The quality of her work and the value she provided was truly top-notch - professional, creative, helpful, patient, and loving. She took the stress off the day and made it possible for me to enjoy the wedding with my husband, TRULY. She was the point of communication for everything that day and she helped me think through all the different processes and how to do things, was incredibly patient and supportive, and was there for us night and day. She ensured we all were doing well throughout the day and kept everyone aware of where they needed to be. I am so glad we hired them and would absolutely suggest you do the same!

We hired Rachel as our Day of Coordinator for our September 2024 wedding and it was the best decision we made. Our wedding simply would not have been the same without her. One of the first recommendations I make to someone getting married is to hire a coordinator for their wedding - and this is entirely because of our experience with Rachel. She prompted us on the right questions for things we never would have considered, and was a huge help in guiding us on the timeline of events. She executed everything with a cool confidence, and we received so many compliments on how fun the wedding was and how smooth the event went. Rachel made herself reachable to our close friends and family, and made sure that we got to enjoy our day and not be tied up in all the logistics. She was flexible, prompt, and wasn’t afraid to take charge of the situation. Highly recommend for your needs - big or small!

My name is Shauna, In 2019, I transitioned from my career in special education to manage a wedding venue, allowing me the flexibility to participate in mission trips and spend more quality time with my children. I have a passion for planning weddings and organizing various events. In 2021, I founded my own business, aRay of Events, to provide my clients with memorable experiences that are free of stress! Since then, I have become a Wedding MBA Elite Level Certified Wedding Planner and assembled a fantastic team of wedding professionals who assist me in turning our couples' dreams into reality!

Booking the full Planner Collection was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. I constantly joked throughout the process that if I had to choose between my fiancé and Shauna, I’d choose her! As someone who’s normally very anxious, I was amazed by how calm and present I felt all weekend because Shauna had every single detail taken care of. From coordinating all of the vendors and decor to literally holding the crying ring bearer so his parents could enjoy the ceremony, she handled everything. My parents were originally against the idea of a wedding planner, but by the end of planning, they were raving about how we would not have had the same wedding without her and recommending her to all their friends. Shauna is organized, thoughtful, kind, and truly gifted at what she does. I am so so thankful that she helped bring my dream wedding to life.

When you think of your wedding, all you can hope for is nothing will go wrong, and if it does, it will be small. When you hire Brooklyn from Brooklyn Rain brides, you can rest assured that your day will be utter perfection. throughout the wedding planning process, Brooklyn was always there for me to reach out to and ask questions and give her professional suggestions. She is beyond wise for her years and knows everything a bride could ask in hand already. Even with me being in the industry Brooklyn would ask me questions leading up to the big day I didn't even know I had, she made sure I knew when and how to get my marriage license and took care of sending it back to the clerk for us. She handled getting the rings to the correct bridal party members and made sure to grab our vow books before the ceremony so we didn't have to remember them. My guests came to me after the ceremony and said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and I couldnt agree more it had so much emotion, romance and pure magic sprinkled in and brooklyn was incredibly calm collected and well spoken capturing my husband and Is love story perfectly. I cannot recommend her services enough, not only can she officiate the most romantic ceremony ever She is also an incredible wedding coordinator and will make sure your wedding runs smoothly allowing you to have a stress free wedding day! I literally didn't have to handle a single thing on my wedding day because she was there to handle it all. She made all the difference plus she continued to come and check in in me to see how I was doing throughout the getting ready process and has the calmest nature helping me to feel ready before I walked down the aisle. not only did she handle coordination and officiating the wedding she sprinkled in some extra magic by taking some gorgeous photos throughout the day and sent them to me the morning after the wedding so I would have a little something until my professional photos arrived! I am so utterly grateful to Brooklyn for making the best day of my life utterly perfect. She may be based in Ohio, however, my wedding was in Michigan-she has traveled all over the United States to work weddings and is so worth it, so feel free to inquire about out of state travel. Anyone who is engaged, I can't say it enough, you need a Brooklyn to help guide you in your wedding planning!

We worked with Katie for our wedding and we could not recommend her enough. We were unsure about incorporating a coordinator in our budget and I’m so glad we did. My partner and I both said it was the best decision we made. Katie was always timely and reliable with communication. During our planning calls, she brought up things that I never would have thought of which helped our day run smoothly. She always had patience with my many questions. She helped us personalize our day to be representative of us as a couple, highlighting what was important to us. She helped with communication and follow up with vendors which alleviated some of the stress and “to do” items leading up to the wedding. Katie was incredibly helpful with running our rehearsal, ensuring that our family and friends knew what to do and had their questions answered as well. Our day ran so smoothly and I’m sure there was much Katie helped with behind the scenes that made that happen. She helped with set up and take down of decorations, always made sure we had a drink if we wanted one, and was the go-to person for everyone’s questions which took a lot of stress of off me and allowed us to enjoy our day. We highly recommend you adding Katie to your team and I know you’d be in great hands.

I am struggling to find the words to describe how wonderful Brianna and Karin were for our wedding. They literally did it all. From our bouquets(!!!), to decorating, to handling logistics and making sure everything ran smoothly, they were above and beyond my expectations. I can 100% say our wedding day wouldn't have been what it was without them. HIGHLY recommend Enchanted Weddings!!

Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more! The beach vibe was executed perfectly—from the stunning driftwood bridal arch to the custom driftwood tea light holders that lit up the evening with a romantic glow. The balloon arch photo booth was a huge hit with our guests! We loved when the little ones played with giant balloons on the dancefloor all night, what great videos we have! Every detail was handled with care and creativity, and we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment. It was magical. Thank you for making our 60-guest celebration feel so full of heart and beauty!

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

We could not have asked for a better day-of coordinator! From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing. She was so kind, helpful, and professional, and truly made our vision for our wedding day come to life. Thanks to Audrei, the entire day ran seamlessly—I didn’t have to worry about a single thing or answer one question because she took care of everything with such grace and ease. Her organization, attention to detail, and calm presence allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of our day. We are beyond grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator who goes above and beyond to make your day perfect!
