Naticia is a NEED not a want
Ask no more questions.....BOOK HER! Naticia is professional, organized, creative, and so knowledgable about her field. My husband and I used her for pretty much every service she had to offer including designing, planning, and day of coordinating.
After a meeting with Naticia for her to find out what our vision was, she made an incredible design board that brought our exact vision to life including colors, flowers, decorations, etc. Naticia recommended the most amazing vendors, many of which I probably wouldn't have found in my google searches. She sends frequent emails to keep you informed on what she is working on and what needs to be accomplished which is super helpful for a Type A bride that finds all the small details of planning overwhelming. Naticia is always easily available to contact via email or phone. The number of wedding guests that commented about our wedding being one of the most smoothly run they had been to, is a true testament to Naticia's hard work. Even vendors comment on how great it is to work with Naticia. She will make anything happen!
Naticia is way more than a planner and became a sounding board for me and my husband. She was respectful and mindful of the many quirky family dynamics that come up during wedding planning and on the day. Naticia made my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable throughout the whole planning process and especially on the wedding day. Naticia understands that this is all about you and your soon to be life partner. She created time for us to step away from the chaos on the wedding day and be present with one another to soak in all the memories. I could go on and on! I truly don't know how people plan weddings without her! Hiring Naticia was the best decision we made and I would recommend her to anyone.The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:
Caitlin, you have me in tears! I absolutely loved working with you and Dan on your wedding! You two were an absolute joy! I appreciate your kind words more than you know and am so thankful that you chose me to be a part of the journey with you both! -

Hiring Naticia as our wedding planner was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our big day! She is an absolute pro – organized, knowledgeable, and has an incredible network of connections in the wedding industry. I would recommend The Calla Lily Event Planning to anyone planning a wedding, regardless of their organizational skills or preferences. Naticia is incredibly adaptable to different styles and tastes, and was always there to guide us through the planning process, from creating a stunning design board to keeping track of all the little details that make a wedding day truly special. She was an absolute godsend throughout the planning process – no matter how busy our lives got, we knew we could always count on her to keep everything on track.
But what really blew us away was how Naticia went above and beyond to make our day truly unforgettable. Not only did she work with us every step of the way, but she also collaborated with our siblings to surprise us with a live painting on our wedding day! It was such a special and unexpected touch, and it truly added to the magic of the day.
On the day of the wedding, Naticia was a dream come true. She was calm, collected, and worked seamlessly with our venue and vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. It was such a relief to know that we could simply relax and enjoy our day, knowing that everything was in her capable hands. Working with Naticia was truly a joy – her professionalism, experience, and dedication to her craft really shone through at every step of the way. We honestly cannot recommend her highly enough – if you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable, look no further than The Calla Lily Event Planning and Naticia!The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:
You are making me cry so very happy but ugly tears! -

Impeccable Planner!
I HIGHLY recommend Naticia at Calla Lily Event Planning. She is an impeccable planner, highly detail oriented in working with schedules, vendors, budgeting, decor and managing family dynamics while quelling drama. We could NOT have done this without her.
She planned our Philly wedding while I was deployed in the Middle East and my husband was living in Nashville. Naticia took on this big project only 3 months prior to the big day.
She reviewed all of our vendor contracts, sent payment reminders, kept us on task, made virtual appointments with all vendors, toured our venue, and put together an impeccable timeline.
She dealt with last minute schedule changes and challenges, never once giving us a hard time. On the day of the event she had everything ready and worked with all of vendors seamlessly. She did all the decorations with care, she managed my family who was running all over there hotel and made last minute changes to toasts without blinking an eye.
She also offered advice throughout this experience that we consistently appreciated.
We certainly did not make things easy for Naticia, but she made sure to get my input for all changes, maintained a consistently optimistic attitude and ensured we had a beautiful wedding day that we actually enjoyed!The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:
I appreciate your kind words so so much! Thank you both for choosing to work with The Calla Lily Event Planning! That really means everything to me! -

If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further and book Naticia ASAP! I will never stop singing her praises for the absolutely fantastic job she did with planning our wedding. From the very first phone consultation, Naticia made us feel special and important. She heard out our vision and validated our thoughts. Choosing to move forward was a no-brainer and the best decision we made because without her, the wedding of our dreams never would have came to life. Naticia went above and beyond with everything you could ever need a wedding planner to do. She comes full of wisdom, advice, and knowledge regarding the wedding industry which comes in handy at every turn of your wedding planning journey. My husband is military so planning our wedding while being stationed across the country posed a challenge; Naticia took on that challenge and exceeded our expectations. Our wedding day was 10/10 and perfect down to the last detail because of her and her teams effort. I was able to enjoy the entire day without a single worry because Naticia handled every single detail and executed all things including set up, breakdown, and everything in between. Naticia is more like family now and we could never be more grateful for the incredible work she has done. She is second to none and the best wedding planner you will find if you're lucky enough to book with her.The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:
Oh Shannon, thank you so much for your kind words and review! You got me all teared up over here! You guys are like family to me now too! I love you both and your families and I appreciate you choosing me to help bring your wedding day to life! It was such an honor and privilege to work with you two amazing humans! -

Our wedding last weekend was a real dream come true. It was the perfect day and that was in huge part due to Naticia and her team at Calla Lily Event Planning. After our engagement, we questioned whether we really needed a wedding planner and if it was worth the expense. I can now definitively say that we absolutely did need a planner and Naticia was worth every single penny! She was our coach through the planning process. She helped keep us on track with all the tasks and gave us so much great advice. She had vendor recommendations, creative ideas, and tons of experience. On the day of the wedding several people commented on how relaxed I seemed (those who know me will know that “relaxed” is not a word that usually applies to me). Naticia and her team were with us through the whole day to make everything run smoothly. All I had to do was show up and enjoy my special day. She handled all the behind the scenes communications with the vendors to hammer out details and had so many wonderful ideas that never would have occurred to us. When we had to postpone our wedding, she was so supportive. We expected the process of postponing to be a nightmare but it ended up being shockingly simple thanks to her help. Any other issues that came up in the planning process she handled swiftly and professionally. She is also just the sweetest person and her calls and emails were always so cheerful. You can tell that Naticia genuinely cares about the couples she works with and giving them the perfect wedding of their dreams. Choosing Calla Lily Event Planning was one of the best choices we made for the wedding and we can’t imagine trying to plan a wedding without Naticia!The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:
Thank you guys so much!!! I’m so glad that I got to be a part of this process and your special day! Thank you so much for choosing me and The Calla Lily Event Planning! Your kind words mean so much to me! ♥️♥️♥️ -

Best decision ever!
Naticia is the absolute best and was truly a GIFT to us throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. As our day-of coordinator, she went so above and beyond what we ever could have expected. There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful she was to work with. I am usually pretty type A and have trouble relinquishing control, but Naticia's expertise and knowledge made me feel so comfortable letting go a bit and her team perfectly executed every vision I had for the day. Her incredibly uplifting and positive spirit brought us so much joy, and working with her was truly such a FUN experience. If there was anything that went wrong on our wedding day, I have no idea what it was because she took care of everything and did it with a smile on her face. Second only to marrying my husband, hiring Naticia was the BEST decision I ever made!The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:
Thank you both so much for letting me be a part of your day! I loved working with you guys and your wedding was so beautiful! Helping you pull your beautiful vision together and keep you calm and happy was truly my pleasure! ♥️ -

It goes without saying that planning a wedding in 2020 was a unique challenge. And planning two events--a small ceremony in 2020 and a "full" wedding in 2021--was something we never could have pulled off without Naticia's help.
From the very beginning, she helped us plan our backyard wedding so that it felt like us. She helped us select the right vendors, got us great deals on the things we needed, and offered guidance when we weren't sure what to do next.
When the world shut down and we needed to make a ton of dramatic shifts in plans, Naticia knew exactly what needed to be done. She rescheduled the necessary vendors and helped us navigate the entire re-planning process. She made us feel like she'd done this all before, despite this being a once-in-a-century event. In the midst of some of the most chaotic months of our lives, Naticia always made us feel confident that the wedding we'd hoped for would still become reality.
Day of, she and her team were rock stars. Whether it was big stuff like coordinating all of our incredible vendors, or even just helping us fasten our boutineers, I didn't spend any of the wedding worrying about logistics. She checked in throughout the day, and was super flexible and on top of everything.
We can't recommend Naticia enough!The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:
Your words mean so much to me Patrick & Emma! It was truly an honor and a privilege to take this journey with you both! I am so grateful to have met you both and your wonderful families that helped us navigate the craziness of planning a wedding in a global pandemic! You two were made for each other and I absolutely love the love that I have seen between you! Here's to a wonderful life and future for you two! -

Katie T. Sent on 01/04/2022Hiring Naticia was the best decision we made (other than to get married!)
NATICIA IS THE BEST! Seriously. She was
We hired Naticia for event design, to assist with wedding planning and to be our day-of-coordinator. Her presence and expertise flipped our whole wedding planning experience from stressful and overwhelming to an absolute delight. When the world shut down shortly after we got engaged in February 2020, everything I'd expected would happen during this "exciting" wedding planning period was flipped upside down. My anxiety was through the roof, and that thought that we would not get to have a wedding at all lurked at all times. My amazing husband helped hire our main vendors and kept our planning in motion, but by the time we met Naticia, we were both at our wit's end.
Everything changed when we hired Naticia. Within weeks, she had taken our out of the box retro/vintage/tropical wedding theme idea, and turned it into a flawless vision board. She went through each idea on the board with us to see what we liked/disliked, LISTENED to everything we said, and then went above and beyond by reaching out to her contacts and vendors to put everything in motion. When I realized I'd forgotten to book some main vendors, Naticia was to the rescue - before I knew it, we had an amazing florist and hair & makeup team at the ready. When I struggled with some issues at our venue, Naticia ran interference. She made sure we met every deadline, were fully prepared for our big day, and that we had FUN during the process.
The day of coordination was just as flawless. Naticia was the point person for everyone in the bridal party that day, and we were all so grateful she was there. If something went wrong at my wedding, I never knew - Naticia was there to handle everything. When someone ran to me to tell me our card box was full, all I had to say was "tell Naticia," and I knew it would be handled. She created and faciliated the best day of our lives, and for that we will always be so grateful.
I know this is getting long, but one more thing - in addition to being an expert at her job, Naticia is just one of the all-around coolest people I've ever met. She is funny, brilliant, kind and sweet. I went through some difficult person times during the wedding planning process, and Naticia showed tremendous kindness and compassion. She is someone who will truly care about you as her client. For me, she took a process I was dreading and turned it into some of the fondest memories of my life. We could not have done it without her, and I couldn't recommend her more!The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:
Thank you so much Kate! You and Scott were a dream to work with! I loved every minute of our time planning, designing and coordinating together! Your kind words mean everything to me and I am so grateful that you chose me to be your Wedding Planner! -

I cannot say enough amazing things about Naticia and her planning services! She was the perfect planner for our wedding day. We had to change our venue about two months prior to our wedding due to COVID precautions - she handled everything and made it a seamless process with all of our vendors. I truly cannot imagine pulling off the day without her. She's such a calming presence too and just made the whole wedding process such a breeze. She handled all the logistics of our day and allowed me to enjoy being a bride/getting married to the max. I seriously cannot recommend her enough!The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:
Thank you so much Chelsea! I really appreciate your kind words so much! -

I couldn't have pulled off my 2020 microwedding without the expertise, assistance and support of Naticia from The Calla Lily Event Planning. In addition to being an incredibly skilled event planner, Naticia is a wonderful person and truly (I mean, truly) cares about her couples.
From the moment we began working together on a partial wedding planning package (pre-pandemic) to pivoting to a November 2020 microwedding, Naticia proved herself to be a no-brainer investment and irreplaceable part of our wedding dream team. Prior to March 2020, Naticia had recommended and connected me with several amazing vendors for our wedding, assembling a group of professionals who not only brought my vision to life, but were also personally invested in the success of our wedding. When things shut down in March, Naticia kept in touch with me almost weekly, checking in to see how I was doing, informing me of the latest event restrictions and guidelines and assuring me and my husband that she'd be by our sides every step of the way. This extra touch meant so much to me -- Naticia often served as a sounding board and friend, in addition to a wedding planner.
When we made the decision to postpone our big wedding to 2021, Naticia jumped into action and scaled down our wedding plan to accommodate a much smaller group for a microwedding. Leading up to the wedding, Naticia took so much stress and worry off of my plate by coordinating and communicating directly with our vendors and crafting a detailed event timeline that kept the day on track. Two days before our wedding, our videographer (someone I had contracted with prior to working with Naticia) unexpectedly needed to cancel, and Naticia found us a new videographer in the span of three hours. Truly impressive!
On the day of the wedding, Naticia was a real superwoman -- I didn't have to worry about a thing and could truly enjoy the day because I knew Naticia had everything under control. From coordinating with the vendors to decorating the event space and even helping me to carry my heavy veil down a set of stairs right before I walked down the aisle, Naticia truly did it all.
Naticia is extremely organized, detail-oriented, communicative and kind -- everything you could hope for in a wedding planner.
While planning two weddings in the span of a year isn't something I'd ever pictured for myself (and I'm sure many fellow 2020 brides can relate), I am grateful to have Naticia by my side. We can't wait to work with her on our 2021 vow renewal and reception! I can't say enough good things about Naticia (could this review get any longer?!) and want to shout from the rooftops about how amazing working with Naticia is. I would absolutely, one hundred times over, recommend her to any couple looking to hire a wedding planner.The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:
Jessica and Tim, what an honor it has been working with you both! Your kind words mean everything to me! I am so glad that we were able to put together such a beautiful day for you both dispute the hurdles you had to climb. I wish you so much happiness and I can't wait to work with you both again for your 2021 celebrations! -

Naticia was amazing to work with. She really does go above and beyond. She stuck by us despite a lengthy Covid postponement. She makes everything very easy and helps ease any wedding nerves. On the day of the wedding she takes care of almost everything so that you are stress-free. We really couldn’t have done our November 2021 wedding without her. Everything turned out beautifully! I would definitely recommend hiring her.

Oh my gosh Alex, you are the sweetest! You and Frank were an absolute joy to work with!

As a wedding vendor, I highly recommend hiring Naticia to be your wedding vendor. I have had the absolute pleasure of working alongside of her since the early stages of my business, and many years, weddings and events since! She not only is truly one of the most organized planners I have ever worked with, she is the kindest person with the biggest heart. She truly cares deeply for her couples, and it shows through her work. Naticia is your ultimate wedding day hype girl! I can speak to this personally, as I first started my business she believed in me and brought me on for some of my very first weddings. I'll never forget the confidence she had in me, and believe me when I say, she will be your hype girl, too! You need her for your wedding day, you will not be disappointed. And just remember, if you ever forget something for your day - she has you COVERED with the most epic, emergency kit EVER. You wouldn't believe how much is packed in there... and has saved me countless times. HIRE HER NOW!The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:

I don’t even know when to begin with this review because Naticia was so amazing. From the beginning she made us feel like we were the only couple she was working with and immediately eased our stress levels. Our wedding was rescheduled due to Covid and Naticia stepped in like there was no issue at all. She coordinated with the vendors and our venue for us and was incredible. She took care of EVERYTHING. She was a blessing to us as we were moving during the pandemic as well and did not have to stress about our wedding during that.
The day of our wedding was perfect. Naticia and her husband, Daniel, were incredible the entire event. Our wedding party loved them and we could not have gotten through the day without them both.
We cannot thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us-you are a selfless, kind, and amazing person and we could not have pictured our wedding planning process and day without you.The Calla Lily Event Planning's reply:
Kara you are so sweet! I loved working with you and Nick so much! I am so glad you were finally able to enjoy your beautiful wedding day! You two deserve so much happiness and I love you both! 💕
