    Blissful Wedding Day

    Weddings are expensive these days and often stressful to plan. Hiring Brenda was absolutely the best decision we made! She was on top of everything from the beginning and always quick to respond when things cropped up, as they always do!
    We thoroughly enjoyed the day of the wedding because we knew she had everything under control! I could not recommend her more highly!

    Above and Beyond

    I had the best experience working with Brenda. We discovered her through friends who were using her for their wedding. After the wedding we got her business card and the rest was history. Brenda is so thorough and organized. She hooked us up with some amazing vendors per her recommendation and we could not have been happier. As our day of coordinator, she hit the ground running 30 days out and by the wedding, everything was taken care of. She gave us the freedom to really enjoy our wedding day and even checked in after to make sure deposits were returned and we were taken care of. The best use of our budget was Brenda. She is so cool and thoughtful. She is experienced and knows what she’s doing. I am forever grateful for her energy and support. My day was perfect because of her and her team.

    Awesome wedding planner

    Brenda is sharp! As soon as I met her, I knew I could relax and she would make everything happen. She thought of everything, reminded us of things we forgot and filled in gaps that we hadn’t even thought of. I would highly recommend her to plan your wedding. She is fantastic!

    Fantastic Day! Brenda is awesome!

    Brenda was my wedding coordinator and my wedding designer. I couldn’t have been more thrilled at how beautifully she transformed our space into a romantic and magical space. Brenda is a professional, she worked and coordinated with all of our vendor and handled them with exacting detail. I could not have imagined a more perfect day. I got to experience and enjoy my day because I knew she had it all covered. Our day was perfection thanks to Brenda and her team!

    Our day would not have been so special without her. She handled everything and managed all the details. This woman is the best! She saw and made my vision a reality and the best day ever!

    McKenna and Davis Wedding

    Our wedding was an amazing, fun, and most of all a memorable night for everyone involved and we seriously couldn't have done any of that without Brenda. Throughout our entire planning process, a month out, rehearsal day, and the wedding day Brenda was there to help ease our concerns and ensure all questions were answered. She went out of her way multiple times to help us in the months before and was always available for a quick text or call. She tied everything together brilliantly and made our special day the best it could have ever been. We had a rough vision for our reception and ceremony and Brenda took it to the next level with all of the special attention to details and made sure that everything was perfect.

    McKenna and I both highly, highly recommend Brenda to help plan and ensure that your special day goes just as perfect as ours!

    Brenda is AMAZING!!!

    Brenda and her team went above and beyond to ensure that our day was perfect and special in every single way! Also, throughout the process she took extra steps to keep us on track and help us find vendors to prepare for the day! We LOVED working with Brenda!

    Amazing wedding coordinator!

    Brenda was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and would be able to answer any questions we had. She was very flexible with are schedules to discuss anything we needed for the wedding. The day of the wedding everything went very smoothly, her and her partner were on top of everything and took care of everything for the wedding. She made it a priority to make sure our wedding day was about me and my husband. Highly recommend for your wedding coordinator!

    Amazing!

    Brenda was without a doubt, the best investment into our wedding! She was recommended to us by one of our other vendors and her and her team were an essential piece in making sure that our big day went smoothly. Our wedding was on the smaller side with about 70 guests total in attendance and our venue had two main locations, one for the ceremony and the other for the reception. Brenda was truly able to relieve all of the stress and worrying from my husband and I on our wedding day and that alone is worth every penny. Her and her team were a delight to work with, we would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

    Amazing!

    My husband and I don’t have enough words to describe the gratitude we feel toward Brenda for helping us create the vision we had for our wedding. Brenda listens, gives ideas, meets you where you are at and helps support what we desired for our wedding day. Brenda is enthusiastic about her work and takes pride in her organizational skills and ability to put the pieces together. We couldn’t have asked for a better day-of coordinator!

    We clicked immediately

    I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help guide me and give me ideas of how to plan the most important day of my adult life. She went above and beyond to give me the freedom to contact her when ever I needed to, she was easy to talk and brainstorm with. She was so smart and strategic with every inch of the planning process. Every vendor she suggested to me I used and they were fantastic! She was on top of a lot of the emailing and fine details I felt overwhelmed with. All the boxes got checked and nothing went overlooked. She lifted weight off my shoulders and I trusted her completely to take the wheel and drive on my wedding day. The day went effortlessly and Brenda’s assistant, who I met the day of, was amazing and her attention to detail was top notch! I will recommend Brenda and her team over and over again! I’ve made a life long friend!

    She puts her heart and soul into her work

    Not only is Brenda an incredible human being, but she's also so attentive, detail oriented, and passionate about what she does.

    She was a gem to have at our micro-wedding at Anderson House. She took care of all of the vendors and everything flowed so seamlessly. She had a way of making my fiance and I feel so special and attended to at ALL times. She personalizes her client experience so well because she wants to get to know YOU so she can deliver you custom-tailored results. And she did just that. The design was everything I could have imagined, and more. I'm so incredibly happy with the results that I wish I could relive it.

    I'm a wedding photographer myself and I have worked with MANY of planners. Very few can compare to my experience with Brenda. She takes care of her vendors and her clients equally. We are so so grateful. I HIGHLY recommend her.

    Thank you Brenda

    couldn't have done it without her!!

    About 4 months prior to my wedding my original "day of coordinator" flaked out on me. I was absolutely panicked with it being so close to our wedding and didn't know what to do. My photographer referred Brenda and she did an absolutely amazing job stepping in and taking control of everything we needed to get done in a short amount of time. I think it was fate that it happened because I couldn't imagine anyone doing a better job than Brenda! She is 100% the person you want and NEED to help with your wedding. Being in the business for so long, she is one step ahead of you with things you wouldn't even think about! We had a little mishap with the power being out at the venue for a little bit after our ceremony and Brenda did an amazing job handling it. So good that I (the bride) didn't have any idea for the longest time LOL. If you want someone that you can count on to get things done and keep everyone in check, Brenda is your girl! I can't thank her enough for making our day as perfect as it could be

    Brenda is the best

    I did day-of planning with Brenda and let me tell you she did way more than day-of work. I can't give Brenda enough credit. She took someone who knew nothing about weddings and guided me to make my wedding exactly what I wanted and did it gracefully. The day ran smoothly, she had every detail down to the minute and was always genuinely happy to be there. Not only is she great at her job, she is a joy to be around, especially when planning such an important day!

    How to have a beautiful, fun wedding of your dreams (in a pandemic no less!): Step 1. Hire Brenda!

    Brenda was a literal angel as our month of wedding coordinator. She was easy to communicate with, made everything stress free, and fun. As a former event professional myself, I knew we were in great hands and had no problem handing over the reins to Brenda. Walking into our reception was a literal dream come true. I can’t thank Brenda enough for making our day so special!

    Amazing and great decision!

    Brenda is such a fun and helpful person. She truly cares about making your day perfect. She is very professional, fun, and helpful. On the wedding day Brenda helped ensure that everything was set up correctly and made sure it was stress free. She has an eye when set up decorations and loves to make everything look perfect. Not only was Brenda an amazing help but I truly feel like I have made a friend through the whole process. I would recommend using Brenda for any event. Thanks again Brenda for all your hard work and helping make the best wedding day for my husband and I.

    From Another Point of View

    I worked with Brenda as another vendor, being the wedding photographer. Brenda was always quick to respond to any questions I had, never minded tackling any situation that arose and was very personable and accommodating. She truly was a team player and I really enjoyed working with her. She made everything less stressful, more manageable, and fun. Her work is top notch and I don't see why you would want anyone else with you for your big day.

    If you are ever looking for a wedding coordinator/planner, please look no further. You will not regret your decision.

    LOVE her! Best wedding decision I made

    Brenda was nothing short of AMAZING. She helped make my wedding day absolutely perfect. It went so smoothly thanks to her and I had NO stress throughout the entire day. I was actually able to enjoy my day with friends and family and my husband!! I don’t know what I would’ve done if I didn’t have Brenda as my coordinator. She’s very professional and personable, and now I consider her a friend!! I HIGHLY recommend to have her as your wedding coordinator. You won’t regret it!!

    Fantastic!

    Brenda was absolutely fantastic to work with! My husband and I have a large blended family with both parents being divorced and at odds. She was able to not only run the show, keep us on track, keep the parents happy, maintain professionalism but was there constantly. When I would realized I needed her for something she would pop up. Our day was so busy I did not have time to help with set up like I had wished, we had to trust Brenda would pull our vision together. She did! We saw the reception room right before guest were to enter and were floored. She captured exactly what we were looking for. She thought of things we had no clue to think of. Could not have asked for a better day and a better wedding planner. We still continue to get compliments on her team and how wonderful the wedding was!

    she was an absolute amazing

    Brenda was there for every step of the way and day-of wedding coordination. Having her there on the day of the wedding was one of the best decisions we made; she was an absolute amazing and a pleasure to have around and she made sure that every detail was handled. We didn't have to worry about a thing... if a problem occurred, I didn't know about it!
    I'd recommend Brenda- to any couple looking to make their future wedding run perfectly! Thank you, Brenda!

    so glad I decided to go with a planner!

    Brenda was so awesome to work with. I wasnt even sure about using a wedding planner, but i am soooo very happy I chose creationsbyBrenda! I was so nervous about everything and especially about making sure both sets of parents would be happy. Afterwards, even my mother-in-law (who is very picky) told me she was impressed. Brenda did a wonderful job with decorating - it looked like we spent way more than we did. She was patient and upbeat. I felt like my best friend was my wedding planner!
