DOC
All Dressed Up Event Planning (Neenah, WI) A+Alright Jami was a complete help and I do not doubt hiring her at all. I know at first my mom and the ILs were skeptical but I told them I would save money elsewhere in the budget to pay for her services. I did not want anyone to “work” at my wedding as far as set up and clean up if it wasn’t necessary. And honestly they still helped Jami clean up, but it was nice having the moms at the salon relaxing and not needing to worry about deliveries or setting up or anything else.
Jami sent me a full list of things she would be responsible for and some of the things I honestly would not have realized. It was a huge help with her getting all our personal items from the church to the reception hall….having the church and reception hall all decorated for us. I could sit back and enjoy the day.She also was very accessible in the planning process. I was a Type A DIY bride so every so often she would zip an email letting me know she was on vacation or to check up if I needed anything, and when I did need to pick her brain she was there with suggestions. I highly recommend Jami…and she does travel to cover weddings.

Leslie was fantastic. Can't say enough. Very responsive, wonderful to work with, affordable pricing. There were a few times the day edged on possibly taking a turn and she handled things brilliantly. (teconely)
Dreams & Designs (Danica) Danica was fantastic. I had some DIY elements to my wedding and wanted to have someone other than myself to set them up the day of the wedding, which is where Danica came in. She set out all of the details at our reception (excluding the centerpieces and cake) and everything looked exactly like I imagined it. She also got us down the aisle close to on time. (The only reason it wan't perfectly on time was because the aunt who was bringing my dad's mom to the wedding was - as usual - running late.) She made sure everything flowed smoothly, and alleviated so much of my stress. I honestly don't think my day would have gone as smoothly as it had without her. (SwwetCharade)
Planning By Manning, A++++++- Madison, WI I can not say enough good things about my DOC, he was amazing and made my day stress free. He took care of every detail and I did not have to worry about anything. After 2 years of planning it was nice to really get a chance to enjoy our day. For those of you not sure about having a DOC, I highly recommend it! PM me if you would like more information on Planning by Manning. (Beckster5551)

It gave us a lot of peace-of-mind to have Kristin and her colleague (can't remember her name) on our wedding day. We had things pretty well planned out already, but she helped a lot with lighting candles, tracking down flowers, and making sure things were going smoothly at the reception.
WEDDING PERFECT- F
Since we are out of town planning the wedding we thought that hiring a wedding planner was a great option. We booked Denise from Wedding Perfect (Kaukauna) after talking on the phone a couple times. We paid the full amount, not just the deposit. Denise and I made plans to meet. I scheduled everything around the date and time she picked - even traveling across the state! Well she never showed up. After I called her and left a voicemail asking where she was and if she was coming I got a phone call back with her yelling at me about how busy she was. She had chosen to meet on Saturday. Apparently, she already had a wedding booked that day. She was not shy about telling me that this was not my day and she had an actually bride to meet with that day! She was terrible. Then to top it all off, we never heard an appology from her and had to beg and wait weeks and weeks to get HALF of the money we paid her back. (ottecl)
