Greatest wedding planner ever!!!
Where do I begin?! Monique was the person who made my wedding seamless. About a month before my wedding, I was starting to get overwhelmed with coordinating and planning and within days of reaching out to Monique, we had a game plan. On the day of the wedding, she was my right hand woman and did everything she could to make the day seamless. Looking back, I wish I reached out to her sooner because she is the best of the best. Thank you Monique for everything! Monique's communication style was quick, efficient, and timely. The quality of her work and the value she provided was top-tier and above and beyond. I didn't have to think or worry about anything on my wedding day. I felt like a guest at my own wedding and it was truly the greatest day of my life!
The x-factor wedding planner :)
Monique was such an important piece to our big day, it’s hard to put all of the crucial things she did for us into one review. She is a wedding planner that just had the X-factor, she does it all! From day one of working with her, we could tell she wanted the best for us and wanted to make our lives easier by keeping wedding planning fun. One of the greatest things about having Monique was her responsiveness and ability to answer ANY questions we had. There are so many questions that pop up and before we worked with Monique we didn’t know where to go to get them answered, but after working with her it was such a relief to know she would help answer all of them. On our wedding day, she truly made our wedding dream come to life. We still don’t really know how she did it all, especially with our wedding or 250 people. We even added in an extra photo shoot to the timeline and some fun little things, and she helped the day flow so smoothly. All we had to do was get married and enjoy our company! It was so much fun, and a large reason we felt that way was because Monique was there to take care of all the stressors behind the scenes. (She even steamed my dress the morning of!!) If you didn’t know, she also does content creation packages and I think it is one of my favorite things that we decided to do for our wedding. She captured so many special moments and we got to relive our day right away! She sent over all the video and pictures and we are still rewatching and going through all the content she captured to this day.
Response from vendor•Oct 18, 2025From our very first call, I knew your day was going to be something special & it truly was. Thank you for trusting me to jump in, answer every question & help bring your 250-guest celebration to life so you could simply soak it all in and enjoy every moment! I’ll never forget your photoshoot we squeezed in with Grandpa’s vintage car under the street sign with your freshly minted last name, your personal ice cream flavors & that surprise dress change that had Parker's jaw on the floor! ALSO the dance floor was one of the most packed I’ve ever seen! I still remember sneaking away for a late night slice of pizza in the kitchen & making a reel during peak dance floor vibes... 100/10 would do again! truly the perfect ending to an unforgettable day. 🍕♡ You two were such a dream to work with. Thank you for letting me be part of such a meaningful, joy-filled celebration — it’s one I’ll never forget!The Coordinator Every Bride Needs!
I don’t even know where to start with how amazing Monique was as our wedding coordinator. From the very beginning, she was so kind, detail-oriented, calming, and effortlessly cool - the kind of person who instantly makes you feel like everything is under control. Throughout the planning process, she kept me on track without ever stressing me out, and on the wedding day, she truly went above and beyond. She managed to keep our timeline perfectly on schedule without rushing us, handled every little hiccup with grace (including sewing a bridesmaid’s strap back together in minutes), and somehow anticipated every need before I even knew it existed. It was a hot August day, and she constantly had water bottles in hand for the entire wedding party to make sure we stayed hydrated - something so thoughtful that really showed how much she cares about her couples! She answered every question from guests and vendors, took care of packing up gifts, cards, and décor before she left, and made sure I never had to worry about a thing. I got to be fully present, soaking in every single moment of our day, because I knew Monique had absolutely everything handled. She went far beyond the role of a coordinator. She was like a big sister watching out for us, making sure we had everything we needed, and keeping the day running seamlessly. I can’t stress enough how thankful I am for her easy-going yet completely on-top-of-it personality. Monique was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and I will be recommending her to every engaged couple I know!
Response from vendor•Sep 11, 2025Sam, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review! From the very first call, I knew your day with Taylor at The Fields Reserve was going to be so special & I feel so honored that we got to be a part of it. You thought of every detail, even down to bringing not one, but two dresses for your outfit change (& of course, my assistant, Rachel happily steamed both since you still hadn’t decided which one you wanted to wear yet👗). Between that and my bridal boutique background, I’ll always consider it one of my superpowers to get brides in and out of those elaborate gowns with all the zippers & buttons! And converting Taylor was one of the biggest highlights of my day! I know he wasn’t fully on board with the idea of hiring a coordinator at first, but by the end of the night, he was all in. That kind of feedback means everything to me! I’m so grateful you trusted us to be by your side. It truly felt like celebrating with family & we’re so excited to see what this next chapter brings for you & Taylor! ♡The Secret To Our Seemless Wedding
We had the pleasure of working with Monique as our day-of coordinator, and she was absolutely incredible. Everyone told us that something always goes wrong on the wedding day, but I can honestly say our day was seamless—and we fully credit Monique for that. Our wedding involved multiple locations (ceremony, dinner, and reception), and Monique was one step ahead at each one. She brought the organization and attention to detail that my fiancé(e) and I, both being more laid-back, truly needed. She anticipated needs before they came up, like having small fans and ice water ready on a hot day and quietly working with venues to adjust the temperature—things I didn’t even realize were happening behind the scenes. She also went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect—like creating short videos throughout the day that we absolutely love and repurposing decorations creatively across each site. Monique was present whenever we needed her, yet gave us the space to enjoy our day without interruption. I highly recommend Monique to anyone planning a wedding. Her professionalism, preparedness, and care made all the difference.
