If you can’t decide whether you need to hire a wedding planner – you do. Even if you are having a small wedding or have a small budget. It was by far the best money we spent. Christina and Courtney and their team were amazing.

Christina worked with me to design a custom package that fit my budget and my needs. She helped me save money with vendors by using her creative ideas (reusing some ceremony florals in the receptions) and vendor discounts. She really thought outside the box to make everything I wanted a reality within my budget.

She and Courtney were incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and on the day of they handled all my last minute needs (I forgot markers for the guest book) and made the entire wedding so calm and enjoyable for me. The entire wedding was flawless – if anything went wrong I had no idea. I also used them for some rentals, lighting and draping (so, so beautiful and so, so worth it), and day of stationary (menus, place cards, signage, seating chart). Everything was exactly what I dreamed of. Seriously, these ladies are amazing. Book them!!!!!

I honestly cannot say enough about Swanky Soiree – I don’t even know where to begin! Short version: hire them now! Longer version: continue reading!

I was hesitant about hiring a day-of coordinator. I work in PR and have planned a ton of events. I really thought I could handle everything on my own. But, after a lot of conversations, I realized I probably needed one, so I began my search. I found Swanky Soiree and it just felt like an instant connection! Christina was super communicative from the start and met with me in person to discuss what I needed for my day. My biggest thing was letting go of the planning and set-up the day-of since I am used to being so involved in event planning.

I tried to have all our decor and additional elements organized in advance for Swanky. I didn’t have an exact idea of where I wanted everything placed at the venue, but I figured I’d decide that day. Well, there was no need to decide ANYTHING. Christina and Kourtney took my decor and ran with it – and it was everything I wanted. I literally worried about NOTHING! They did not miss a thing!

Swanky also has rental options too if you don’t want to purchase a ton of votive candles or signage, which is a great option because at some point, there is only so much Etsy a girl can take!

They also helped manage the rehearsal and everything with our ceremony and vendors – it was a HUGE help during that last month when you have family asking a million questions and balancing work and wedding planning!

I hired Swanky for the “Month Of” coordination. If you are a planner and organized, this is probably the right path for you. But, if you want some additional guidance, then go for one of their other packages – either way, you won’t be disappointed.

After the wedding, my husband and I actually said “MVP for the wedding definitely goes to Christina and Kourtney!”
