    The BEST wedding planner ever, shoutout Sheila for sliding into my DMs and telling me that Athena was a wedding planner because that was the best decision I could have made to make my wedding a complete dream come true. I had a vision and Athena did the best at making sure everything I wanted I could have without our budget. She took soooooo much stress off my plate, the day of the wedding all i had to focus on was having fun and didn't think of or even hear about any issues that might have occurred. I cannot recommend her enough truly.

    Athena was so much more than just our planner: she was our rock, our supporter, and our biggest cheerleader throughout the entire process. I honestly could not have asked for anyone better to be part of our wedding. She helped us create the timeline, designed our decor, created our floor plan, assisted in our rehearsal, kept me on track with my tasks, and even stepped in to meet with vendors when I was overwhelmed. The entire day was perfect - and she made sure I had a drink in my hand and food on my plate at all times!! Our entire wedding party, parents, and guests adored her and recognized all the hard work she was doing. We could not have done our wedding without her. If you are looking for someone who will not only execute your vision but will also feel like a beloved part of your family, look no further than Athena.

    Athena was great at keeping us on track, finding vendors and managing everything at the wedding! We could not have managed without her! I love her sense of humor and her positive attitude! As Mother of the Bride, I REALLY appreciated her as I was not located in the same state. Her communication was great.

  • Athena is wonderful!

    Athena is beyond amazing! From the very beginning, she was so attentive and caring, making sure that every detail was exactly how I had always imagined. She truly listened to what I wanted and turned all of my dreams into reality, making my special day feel like an absolute dream. Her professionalism, kindness, and talent are unmatched, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much, Athena, for everything — you are truly wonderful!
