Brenda and her team brought our whole wedding vision to life! She really pulled through on our big day, made everything look beautiful, and was a relief to work with. We received so many compliments on our decor and little details that our guests loved. We could not have pulled it off without their hard work and exceptional skills!

I highly recommend Brenda and Sarah for event planning. I hired them to decorate and coordinate our 1-year wedding anniversary in Rochester, and since I live on the West Coast, it was crucial that I had full support throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. They exceeded my expectations, making the entire day stress-free. They truly understood my vision and went above and beyond to bring it to life, ensuring everything ran smoothly for both me and my husband.

What stood out the most was their dedication on the day of the event. They stayed throughout and handled last-minute requests without hesitation, allowing me to relax and enjoy the celebration without any concerns. Both Brenda and Sarah were collaborative, great listeners, and fully committed to making our day special.

The only feedback I have is to begin the planning process a bit earlier. While everything came together beautifully (it was a smaller event with about 70 guests), some aspects of planning felt rushed, and it wasn’t until about a week before the event that I felt everything was fully in place.

That said, these two are lovely to work with, and I would definitely hire them again!

Details: Anniversary party • 51 - 100 guests • Partial planning (help in select areas) • Setup • Decor rental • Centerpiece(s) • 9 - 12 months • My home, venue, etc.

We hired Brenda, because she had great reviews and we felt like she understood our vision. She made me feel confident that she could handle the potential of issues with a family member, but unfortunately that’s where the positives stop. She failed to do several things that we had told her we wanted done during the rehearsal and wedding, which caused the day to be rushed and more stressful for me. We had high hopes for her, but we were disappointed.

Details: 1 - 4 months in advance (includes day-of coordination and vendor coordination) • 51 - 100 guests • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

Memories Made by Brenda's reply
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns, Tracy. I am truly sorry that you and Todd were disappointed with aspects of the coordination on your wedding day. I understand how important the day was to both of you and regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our recollections of the day are quite different. My team and I were present throughout the wedding, managing the details and addressing unexpected situations as they arose. Thankfully, the potential family issue we had discussed did not occur. We were not aware that you felt rushed or that there were additional concerns requiring our attention at the time. While I do not agree with your full characterization of the service provided, I do not want to dismiss how you felt. I take client feedback seriously and will use it to strengthen my communication and procedures going forward. I sincerely wish you and Todd a lifetime of happiness.

Brenda kept me informed every step of the way. She really listened to the type of party, the type of people attending, and what it was I was looking for. Her decor was excellent and she was quick in decorating on the day. I was very impressed with everything she made and how all was set up !!!!!
