Wedding Planner

My future daughter in-law was in tears when her wedding planner quit the company 2 weeks before the wedding! Along came Michelle from Distinctively Made Event Planning to the rescue!! She truly is everything you would hope a wedding planner would be. Her attention to details and management made it a truly magical wedding! Thank you!!

Best decision I have ever made (aside from deciding to marry my husband)

To try and express just how grateful I am to Michele from Distinctively Made Event Planning and Design is a daunting task. I do not think there are enough words to do it justice. My husband and I planned our wedding in a little under 6 months and agreed that we needed help. From the get-go, Michele was one text message or phone call away from answering any question. And trust me, we had a loooot! The best part was that each question would be met with questions of her own to help her (and in the end, us) narrow down exactly what we were looking for. Once that was figured out, boom! We would receive an email with links of people or companies she recommended and had worked with in the past. She was hands on, understanding, personable, and a gift of a person to work with. My husband and I would not have survived without her help. That is not a joke. The day of the wedding, Michele was there from the start to the finish. She handled everything from the timing of us walking down the aisle to the packing up of the gifts and wedding cake. She was everyone’s main point of contact and, because of that, I got to enjoy my wedding and take everything in. I am beyond grateful to Michele. From Wes and I, thank you a thousand times over. Whether you are looking for wedding coordinator or a day of coordinator, Michele and her team are your people. You will not regret it.

Couldn't be happier!

I would have been lost without Michele and her team from Distinctively Made Events. She walked me through every step of the way. Offered great advice and suggestions when needed. I always felt at ease after our phone calls. And on the day of the wedding, she took care of every last detail. She truly allows you the chance to enjoy your own wedding because she's on top of things. It's a sigh of relief knowing that someone has your back and will make sure everything turns out the way you envisioned.
