    Michaela was so helpful as our day of coordinator for our wedding. We hired her after realizing we would need someone to organize our reception decor while we were enjoying our morning. We hired her the day before Thanksgiving and she still coordinated with us over the holiday weekend to finalize the contract. Michaela was responsive to emails and her pricing policy was very clear. I’m pretty type A and organized on my end, so I wanted someone who would follow my directions and execute my vision well. Michaela gave me tasks to complete and offered her suggestions and input on my ideas when she had them. Her advice and guidance was very helpful, but also if it didn’t work for us, she didn’t pressure me or make me feel bad for going in a different direction. She made really great decisions in my absence and handled the very, very windy day that we were all caught off guard by. I was so busy focusing on and preparing for rain, that I didn’t even prepare for it. When my bustle got ripped out of my dress at the reception, my sister was ready to drive back to our rental house on the other side of the property… but I knew that Michaela would have us covered. Sure enough- she did! An entire case of safety pins were available and saved the day. Another thing about Michaela was that I felt truly that she was attempting to be respectful of our money and economical. When I felt like I would need more time, she offered to send the invoice, but suggested that we wait until our final call a month before the event to determine the timeline and make that determination. We did end up adding a little bit of additional time, but not too much. I also wanted to have 2 walkthroughs ahead of the wedding, which Michaela accommodated well. Michaela always responded to my emails and texts, and was great at everything leading up to the wedding, as well as the day of. The morning of the wedding, she was early and texted ahead of time to ask if I wanted space or if I wanted her to come see me when she arrived. It was nice to be able to choose based on what I was feeling in the moment. During the reception, she was great about doing ANY job… picking up slack from the caterer who made some big fumbles, adjusting the timeline on the fly, coordinating with the DJ for announcements, giving me some directions of what to do when food wasn’t ready on time (a great suggestion of going table to table to greet our guests and socialize with them). My friends and family all said that she was the backbone of the reception and I loved the way I could point people over to her if they had or needed something. Overall, I think Michaela was a great hire for a type A bride who needed someone to kick ideas around with and wanted someone who could execute the vision they had very well. If this is what you’re looking for, Michaela is your girl! If you’re searching for someone who can give some more planning support or even full planning, I can’t imagine Michaela couldn’t do that as well. I would trust her ideas and the things she has to offer. Also- a great shout out to her for having free decor!! That was an awesome service to have and really helped us out

    Michaela made sure our wedding went perfectly. She listened to what I wanted, and everything I envisioned was a reality. She worked extremely hard, and I truly appreciate all she and her assistants did for us. Thank you so much.

    We regret hiring Michaela, the owner of Enchanted Garden Event Planning, as our wedding coordinator. Her performance was nothing short of disastrous. From start to finish, she exhibited a shocking lack of organization, professionalism, and respect for the event and the people involved. She arrived late, was visibly irritated and impatient throughout the day, and failed to execute even basic responsibilities. Instead of ensuring a smooth experience for the bride and groom, she argued multiple times with the bride, the mother of the bride, the maid of honor, and other members of both wedding partners’ families and wedding party. At one point, the bride was even forced to set up for her own wedding, standing in front of guests before walking down the aisle—all because Michaela and her team failed to prepare in time. Beyond the sheer disorganization, her lack of professionalism was appalling. Guests were put to work, one staff member smoked near the bride, and the seating arrangement was completely mismanaged, causing unnecessary chaos. With how unhelpful and unaware Michaela was, you would have thought this was the first wedding she had ever encountered. Her poor planning and behavior led to so many avoidable issues that, ultimately, she was fired midway through the wedding—a decision we did not take lightly but felt was absolutely necessary. A wedding should be a joyful, seamless experience for the couple, their families, and their guests. Instead, our day was filled with stress due to Michaela’s actions. And even the day after, instead of reminiscing about the beautiful moments of our wedding, we were left feeling embarrassed and regretful about how it all unfolded. While Michaela was undoubtedly responsible for this disaster, we recognize that she cannot take all the blame. Both my bride and I saw many red flags throughout the planning process and still chose to go forward with her. As much as we are disappointed in Michaela, we are also disappointed in ourselves for hiring her. If you want a coordinator who will respect your wishes, treat your wedding with care, and bring professionalism to your most important day, do not hire Enchanted Garden Event Planning. Learn from our mistake—we ignored the warning signs, and it cost us one of the most important days of our lives.

    Response from vendor•May 13, 2025
    We are genuinely heartbroken that your wedding day did not live up to your expectations, and we are deeply sorry for the stress & disappointment you experienced. Our mission at Enchanted Garden is to create joyful, seamless celebrations for our couples, and it is incredibly painful to know that we fell short of that promise for you. Immediately after being asked to step away, we issued a full refund because we believed it was the most ethical and responsible decision. We understand that no refund can replace the memories you hoped for, and we are genuinely sorry for that. We want to share a bit of context, not as an excuse, but to help you and future couples understand our experience. Despite our efforts to prepare, we faced several unforeseen challenges, including decor that was unlabeled or missing from the provided list, a seating chart that was out of order and required reorganization on-site, and unexpected adjustments at the reception venue. Our team worked tirelessly to address these issues, but the constant changes and additional requests impacted our ability to complete setup on time. However, this does not change the fact that you deserved a beautiful, stress-free wedding day. We are actively reviewing this experience to strengthen our preparation and communication process, ensuring we are even more prepared for future events. Above all, please know that we cared deeply about making your day special, and it is a sincere regret that we were unable to deliver the experience you envisioned. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together and hope that, in time, you can reflect on the beautiful moments shared with your loved ones.

    I had a wonderful experience working with Enchanted Garden, the wedding planners. Michaela's communication style was calm, kind, and effective throughout the entire event. The quality of her work was truly professional, thorough, and collaborative - she went above and beyond to ensure every detail was executed perfectly. I would highly recommend Enchanted Garden to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will make the planning experience stress-free and enjoyable.
