Chatfield/Shadday Wedding - December 27, 2008
"Ryan - I want to thank you for your excellent service as a planner for Ashley and Chris's wedding.  I really got the opportunity to enjoy the event, which I guess I wasn't anticipating.  I felt like you handled our event with such professionalism and efficiency that I was assured that all was in "good hands".  I have already recommended you to a couple of my friends who have children getting married this year and I hope that will equate to new business for you.  We also received many positive comments on the wedding itself including how well the event flowed which I give you the credit for.  When asked by one friend if anything went wrong, I couldn't think of anything, which speaks to your efficiency as the planner.  You might hear from us again as I feel we will be doing this again before too long!" - Rhonda Chatfield (Mother of the Bride)

"Hi Ryan, I couldn't agree more, you are a wedding life-saver!  Everything was perfect, I can't imagine how everything would have pulled together without your orchestration!  I honestly didn't worry about a single detail and enjoyed (and remembered!) my wedding beyond my wildest expectations.  Thank you so much!" - Ashley Chatfield

Dougherty/Gilbank Wedding - November 16, 2008


"Hi Ryan - Just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the wedding!  Everything just came together beautifully!  Dave is mailing you the check for the programs today - but I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed working with you, your Mom and Alex!  We certainly recommend you to everyone we know!  Thanks again!  Blaire" - Mother of the Bride

"Ryan made our wedding day everything and more than I could have imagined.  I knew I would be overwhelmed with all the details and it was my husband who recommended I hire a wedding coordinator to help me through the process.  She took care of every detail helping me navigate through all the contracts and kept me on schedule and within my budget.  Ryan had so many wonderful, creative ideas on how to make the day beautiful.  She was always there to answer any questions I had and went the extra mile offering to help assemble invitations and took care of getting everything to the ceremony.  I enjoyed every step of the wedding planning thanks to Ryan's help.  On the wedding day, I didn't have to worry about anything.  Ryan is really one of the most positive people I've ever met and did a great job of keeping me calm and alleviated any stress I had.  We had so many compliments on how smooth the day went and how much fun all our guests had.  Ryan is so organized and her attention to detail is amazing.  I believe she can make any wedding day perfect, no matter the budget or timeline.  And, I believe that somehow it was Ryan's magic that gave us the most perfect weather for our outdoor wedding!  Ryan, thank you so much for making our wedidng day the happiest day of my life!"
Chad and Shelly Litherland - June 7, 2008
"Ryan made the wedding planning process enjoyable every step of the way and most importantly our wedding day went off without a hitch!  There were no last minute surprises, thanks to her detailed budget spreadsheets.  Every detail was accounted for and well planned out.

Ryan loves sharing ideas, has an impeccable taste level and a great vision for what will or won't work.  Her suggestions and knowledge were a tremendous help in what can be an overwhelming time.  She accompanied me on vendor meetings, helped decipher the pros and cons and was great at pointing out what was worth spending extra money on and what wasn't!

We faced torrential rains the day of our outside wedding.  Ryan worked feverishly with all vendors from the moment she awoke to determine alternate plans, dry out the garden area and keep me and my family calm.  She worked miracles!  The rain stopped  and we had a magical wedding!  So many people commented on how calm and relaxed I looked.  There was only one person to thank - Ryan!  I was able to enjoy my  husband, family, friends while all the wedding day details were safe in Ryan's hands.

I highly recommend Ryan to anyone!"

"Ryan, I simply cannot thank you enough for making our wedding more special than we could have ever imagined.  It was absolutely perfect, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing – all I had to do was enjoy the day!  Everyone commented on what a wonderful job you did, and I couldn’t agree more!  You had wonderful, creative ideas and you truly went above and beyond in making sure that I didn’t have to stress out about planning the wedding.  I had pictured what I wanted our wedding day to be.   You are truly amazing – I don’t know how you do it!  Even our vendors were extremely impressed by your organizational skills and several commented on how easy you were to work with.  Throughout the entire planning process, you remained supportive and no matter how stressed I would get, you were always positive.  There is no way the wedding would have been half as wonderful and organized as it was had it not been for you and all of your hard work.  You were truly a joy to work with and I give you ALL the credit for making our wedding day absolutely amazing!  As you know, I have very high expectations, and you exceeded every expectation I had.    You helped to keep me on track and you thought of every detail.  To top it off, you helped me with things that I didn’t even expect just so I wouldn’t have to worry.  You are truly gifted.  I tell everyone that the best decision I made (besides marrying Kevin!) was to hire you as a wedding planner.    You are more wonderful than I could have ever imagined.  Thank you so very much Ryan!!!"



Brian and Melissa Marlar - September 22, 2007

"As being a first time bride, there are a lot of fears that go through your head if everything is going to go right. Ryan was there every day making sure things are where they need to be. I couldn't ask for a better wedding planner.  Her ideas and dedication toward the job were amazing and unbelievable. I would recommend Ryan to anyone."

"Ryan made sure our day was perfect.  Planning the wedding of our dreams seemed impossible until I found Ryan!  She took care of every detail and when the wedding day came I didn't have to worry about a thing.  It was more perfect than my fiance and I could have ever imagined. I am so happy I had Ryan to help me with all of the details!"

"I can't imagine having survived the wedding planning process without Ryan's help!  She truly made the process seem so much more manageable and enjoyable than trying to do everything on my own.  After sharing some ideas that I had envisioned, she helped me find the perfect place for my wedding day knowing that everything would turn out just as I had hoped!"
