Review from the Bride
“Where do I even start? There is not a single detail about our wedding that wasn’t made better thanks to Katie and her team at Blue Ribbon Weddings. Katie’s passion for weddings, attention to detail, and incredible tact when working with a wide range of vendors made our day and the months that led up to it an absolute joy. She elevated every idea I brought to the table and contributed helpful suggestions that ultimately curated the most beautiful aesthetic and ambiance. From our initial meeting to the day of, she accounted for every detail you could imagine — the sentimental, the logistical, and the many “I would’ve never even thought of that!” issues — and tackled it all with the most infectious, positive, can-do attitude. When I first got engaged, I was on the fence about whether I needed a wedding coordinator, and I can legitimately say that hiring Blue Ribbon was the best decision I made. Not only are the packages fairly priced, but I was able to save on several other line items because Katie’s experience helped me know when it was worth it to splurge and when it was smarter to save. There are so many difficult decisions to make all at once when planning starts; hiring Blue Ribbon should be your first and easiest one! Katie is such a pleasure to work with and was so on top of details, I don’t think I could have been a bridezilla even if I wanted to. ;) That said, I can be particular and usually have very specific ideas of how I want something to look and feel. Katie took the time to ensure she understood what my vision was and went to bat for me several times with different vendors to make it happen. A few days before my wedding, a contract dispute with my most major vendor arose. What could have been a huge headache and taken up the limited time I had with out-of-town guests was a complete non-issue thanks to Katie. This is just one of the many examples I could share that illustrate how she offers couples so much more than event styling and timeline planning. The peace of mind she provided us was invaluable and when I think back on the days leading up, I am so grateful that all we had to think about was getting married. :) I’m not exaggerating when I say that everyone who interacted with the Blue Ribbon team the day of the wedding — bridal party, family members, vendors, and even a few wedding guests — had only positive things to say about Katie and that they went out of their way to do so! The seamlessness of the event spoke to her expertise and her subtle but effective management style is legitimately impressive. I still don’t understand how she managed to be everywhere at all times and didn’t photobomb a single picture. haha I could go on forever about how much I appreciate the work Katie and the Blue Ribbon team did for my wedding, so I’ll just say that I cannot recommend this wonderful company enough!”
