“She was the BEST decision we made throughout all of our wedding planning.”
Honestly, I don’t have enough words to write about how amazing Pamela is. Our wedding would absolutely not have happened without her guidance! She was the BEST decision we made throughout all of our wedding planning. From the beginning, Pamela helped us design everything from the programs and table layout to the floral arrangements and was SPOT ON for every single decision. We were able to lean on her years of her experience and make sure every detail of our wedding would go on without a hitch from adjusting the timing of our transportation, connecting with every single vendor ahead of wedding day to make sure they had all the information, and providing us with a clear game plan to take the stress out of every step. She was always so quick to respond and we never encountered a single question that she didn’t have the answer to.
I felt at peace the whole weekend because I knew that Pamela was on anything that came at us. I want to get married again just so that I can continue to work with Pamela and keep her around!!
— Kendall and Myles
"Pamela is extremely experienced, detailed oriented and organized!"
Pamela is an AMAZING planner! She helped us create such a memorable day from start to finish. She is extremely experienced, detailed oriented and organized. Our wedding happened to be the same day as the the car show in Newport which is always a major event. Pamela made sure timeline was designed to accommodate any potential delays that the car show could cause. Our day ran so smoothly thanks to her!
Pamela knows the vendors in the area very well which was so helpful while planning. She assisted in conveying our dream wedding to the vendors and making sure we had the best options. The day of the wedding Pamela and her team made sure our day ran seamlessly. She helped organize 250 guests, a large bridal party, multiple vendor and changes due to weather. We would absolutely recommend Pamela and her team to anyone planning a wedding. Thank you for everything Pamela!! Our day would not have been the same without you!
— Jacqueline and Timothy
"We would have been lost without her and her charm, expertise, and industry connections"
My wife and I just got married yesterday, and Pamela was so unbelievably helpful that we are writing this review as soon as we had a chance to sit down and breathe. Pamela is exceptional. As soon as we hired her, it was like Pamela instantly understood our vision and knew exactly what to do to make it come to life. She was never hard to get a hold of, she did not push things that were not a priority to us, she coached us on what we needed and how to request it from our vendors, and she went above and beyond the day of the wedding making sure that everything was perfect. We cannot recommend Pamela highly enough.
Our wedding was perfect and exactly what we wanted it to be, and it’s entirely thanks to Pamela. We would have been lost without her and her charm, expertise, and industry connections. We almost want to go through the hell of wedding planning again just so we can hire her sooner in the process!!
