“Best wedding planner in the universe!”
Best wedding planner EVER!!!!! If I could give Michelle more than 5 stars she would get an unlimited amount. As a destination bride from Chicago, I knew trying to plan a wedding on my own was going to be a challenge. My wedding venue, Mote required at minimum a day of coordinator. After speaking on the phone with Michelle at the beginning of last year asking her about the different options she provides, I knew that she was the planner for us. Being from Chicago, I love that Michelle shares the same philosophy with me of wanting to get ahead of things and get things planned and done as soon as possible.
Within, 2 months of hiring Michelle we had all of our big vendors booked. Not only that but she knew I wanted a nautical themed wedding and took my vision and elevated it to a level that neither my husband or I could have imagined. Also, her husband Nelson was amazing and willing to do whatever was needed to make sure my brother who is physically disabled was able to participate in our beach ceremony wedding. She helped us work within our budget and recommended the best vendors we could have asked for. Michelle always made me feel at ease and heard with what we were looking for on our special day. I feel like after this I did not only get a phenomenal wedding planner who I would recommend to any and everyone, but a friend in the process.
When it came to talking about flowers, I knew I wanted tropical as we had a beach wedding and Michelle communicated to Eva exactly what I wanted, but little did I know that I was going to be speechless when I saw the beauty Eva created for me with my cascading bouquet, not to mention the amazing arrangements she did for the chuppah. Eva did such an amazing job with the florals, I decided to preserve them in resin to have a constant reminder of the amazing work both of these ladies did to make our wedding as amazing and unforgettable as it was.
While I could keep writing on and on about how easy and amazing it was working with Michelle, I will end with this…..don’t think about it, just do it. You will definitely not regret for one moment choosing Michelle and Precious Moments. It will be the second best decision you make, outside of saying yes to your forever person.
