You need Stephanie for your wedding

Was ecstatic to have Stephanie plan my wedding. She was highly recommended by my venue and its not hard to see why. She was on it from the start and kept me on track the entire way. She never hesitated to pick up my calls even when I was calling her during odd hours of the night. When I had issues with my vendors, she handled it almost immediately. On my wedding day, she was a life saver. My wedding would not have been the same without her. Highly recommended!

I work as an Event Planner/Fundraiser professionally for a university. Because of this, I thought that I didn’t need a Wedding Planner to help me with my August wedding. When I found out my venue required one, I choose Stephanie because I knew she’d had experience with wedding/event planning.

I’m so glad I did!

My wedding was smaller (90 people), but complicated. There were many different vendors coming in and out through the day and they would do certain things but not everything (i.e. bartenders came in to serve wine & beer but not set up and break everything down). My church venue also had many specific rules about what could be done and what couldn’t be done. This created a wedding with many “moving parts,” as they say, and because I was the bride, I couldn’t step out at any given moment to ensure people were doing what they are supposed to be doing. This is why I am so grateful to have had Stephanie coordinate my wedding.

We met several times before the wedding and she made some changes that made the guest experience seamless the day of the wedding. She was also very organized. Before the wedding we sat down and went through an entire spreadsheet of the components of the wedding day and who would be involved in each step. Even though I do event planning, I’d never planned a wedding, so I wasn’t aware of all of the logistics that were specific to a wedding.

I also felt that she communicated with each of my vendors more effectively than myself. They were very responsive to her requests—she knows the business and knows what to ask for and what is realistic. This saved time and headache.
My wedding day was just as I’d envisioned! It really was a beautiful day where many things came together to create one beautiful event. She is highly recommended.

Stephanie was amazing! She made wedding planning seem easy. On multiple occasions during the wedding planning process, my fiance and I commented on how she was the best investment we made. I didn't worry about a thing the day of because I knew she had everything under control!

Preppy Chic Events is a top notch company! My company, Beach Bridal Beauty, recently styled one of their brides and I was so impressed with their work. Stephanie with Preppy Chic Events was professional, friendly, organized and super helpful! Stephanie and I had to connect several times and discuss timing details for our bride's wedding and Stephanie was a pure delight to work with. I would highly recommend this company for any special event you may have!
