Above expectations

I am so glad I selected Leila to be my wedding planner.
She is super easy to work with and really on top of things. i had a lot of questions and relied on her for insights for the decisions to be made and she was very helpful talking through all of them.
she found many of my vendors including my photographer and my florist for me and both were perfect but the florist especially was a total gem. i am so grateful leila found and recommended her.
Leila also handled negotiating rates and fees on my behalf which was awesome and saved me some money.
i had this vision for a dark and moody wedding and it came out absolutely perfect. she created a vision board based on my desires and it truly came to life on my wedding day. it was actually even better than my vision.
i had my share of "ive changed my mind" situations and was worried Leila might get annoyed but she didn't appear to be in the least. She was super flexible and went with the flow to make the changes needed.
Leila also handled all the prep and set up which was such a stress relief and huge time saver for me. she was constantly checking in to see what else she could do for me.
i had no stress on my wedding day and everything went perfect!
it truly was my dream wedding.
thank you so much for all your help Leila.

There's so much to say about Leila that I don't even know where to begin. To start with, she is incredibly patient. I have emailed her more times than I probably needed to with questions for deadlines, vendors, DIYs, budgeting, you name it. Each time, she replied in detail and within only a couple of hours. She genuinely cares about what you are looking for in a wedding and will definitely make that happen with your budget in mind. Leila has always been open to my suggestions no matter how crazy I may have sounded. She also genuinely cares about how you as a person and takes the time to get to know you, your significant other, and where you're at in life, and that helps with the wedding planning process. On our wedding day, I did not have to worry about one thing at all except getting ready and having a magical day with friends and family.

I don't even know where to start; Leila is first of all just an amazing person! She went above and beyond for our wedding, from the great design ideas she had for making decorations that were both beautiful and budget friendly, to helping with layout, timeline and all the many little details. There were many times where she would ask me something or remind me of something, and I would think to myself, oh man without Leila I would have never thought of this little detail. She was always there to respond to all my questions very quickly, and she was just on top of everything. The day of the wedding she was there first thing in the morning, and packed up everything at the end of the night. I didn't have to worry about a thing! Later I found out that our tables were late and not the right number of tables/linens were delivered (not her fault), but Leila didn't let any of that get to me to worry me. She handled all of it, and by the time guests arrived everything just looked perfect! I mean better than I had even imagined it in my head. You know when everyone says that something will always go wrong on your wedding day and you should try not to stress about it, well not at my wedding! There was not a thing that went wrong, and everything was just awesome...and that was all thanks to Leila!
