The best decision we made in our team of wedding vendors! Highly recommend

Aprill was by far the best decision we made in our teams of vendors. From the moment we had our initial meeting her expertise in wedding design and coordination shined through. She expertly managed every vendor, provided beautiful design expertise, created flawless timelines, and guided us through the venue walkthrough. Her planning meetings were not only thorough but also incredibly enjoyable, ensuring we felt supported and informed every step of the way. We had a few weather related challenges on our wedding day and she handled them with calmness and was able to pivot quickly numerous times. Her assistant Dolly was also amazing, she truly made me feel like she cared about my wedding day and was by my side throughout the whole day. I didn't feel like just another client, Aprill truly is passionate about what she does and it shows.

I highly recommend a top notch external planner/coordinator. I trusted her to bring my Bridgerton vision to life and she did just that! Thanks to Aprill and despite all of the challenges, our wedding was a stunning success, exceeding all our expectations. On my wedding day she made me feel like my happiness was her number one priority. She efficiently communicated with my bridal party to let them know what to expect and to ensure that they were also comfortable. I received compliments throughout the night about how stellar she was. If looking for a wedding planner who is both professional and passionate, look no further and hire Tulle and Tinsel events. Working with Aprill was an absolute dream come true! She is the best of the best.

The most organized, professional, and calm coordinator you could imagine

Aprill and her team were the most incredible people to work with and literally saved the day during my wedding. A very last minute and unexpected rain shower minutes before our ceremony was sure to cause chaos as the ceremony and most of the reception were planned to be outside, but Aprill kicked it into high-gear and coordinated with all of the vendors to swiftly transition to Plan C and pull off the most incredible ceremony and reception. Without Aprill the wedding would have been extremely delayed and would not be the same experience. Although Aprill was my day-of coordinator, she met with me and my fiance multiple times months ahead of the wedding, answered numerous questions via email, and kept us organized and on track. I am naturally a Type A person but Aprill truly thought of every single logistic and rule of the venue making sure the wedding went off without a hitch. In addition to how on top of Aprill was with everything, she brought a calming presence the day of my wedding which was gratefully appreciated with my day of jitters and when emotions ran high with the unanticipated weather. I am forever grateful for everything Aprill and her team did to ensure I had the most magical wedding with only the best memories. Thank you so much Aprill! Extremely professional and someone you can rely on with the most important day of your life!

Stress-free Wedding

Aprill is an exceptional planner and true delight to be around! We were so fortunate to have her as our wedding planner. She was referred to us by our wedding photographer, and our initial impressions were overwhelmingly positive. She was welcoming and genuinely excited to work with us, which made us feel at ease from the start. Neither of us had many ideas about how we wanted the wedding to unfold. We had some general thoughts and two colors, but that was about it. Aprill transformed those tidbits into a full color palette and aesthetic, including beautiful tablescapes, and worked with our florist to create stunning floral arrangements and greenery. She always had multiple vendor recommendations and took charge of coordinating all the specific details between vendors and our venue, especially in the final weeks leading up to the wedding.

Throughout the process, she was always easily accessible. We always knew exactly what she was working on, and she was incredibly responsive to our needs. She understood when we had busy weeks and gave us the space we needed, but as the wedding date approached she kept us on track with gentle reminders and "homework". Her professionalism was evident in every interaction, and her organizational skills were outstanding. Wedding planning can be stressful, but she left us feeling more at ease after each meeting.

On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly, thanks to her meticulous preparation. The timeline left us with plenty of breathing room, and no stress beyond normal nerves. We felt confident everything had been thought of and handled. Aprill and her assistant made sure that every detail was accounted for, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our special day. We honestly cannot think of anything that could have gone better and can genuinely say what every couple hopes for--the entire day was perfect.

April exceeded our expectations in every way from her airtight organization skills to her contagious warmth and energy. She made us feel like we were her only clients and personalized the wedding to reflect our personalities. We highly recommend Aprill to any couple who wants every detail of their wedding addressed with precision, care, and fun.
