    Ronny's Flowers are incredible!

    This review is strictly for floral design, however looking back I wish I hired Ronny has my planner (I went at it alone). Ronny was a pleasure to work with from the beginning. We had several calls to discuss what I was looking for as well as several emails to discuss inspiration photos. She worked with our budget and really provided an incredible floral and ceremony design. Unfortunately, we had rain on our wedding day, after she set up the beautiful ceremony outside. We had to move the ceremony inside at the last minute, and all it took was a couple groomsmen to bring everything inside and Ronny was able to pull it off! My bouquet was gorgeous and our sweetheart table was the perfect mix of elegance and glam. My only regret was not hiring Ronny has my wedding planner!

    Veronica from Utterly Elegant quite simply made our wedding perfect. She is the perfect combination of professionalism and charisma and was involved at every step. She genuinely cares about the outcome of your special day and was great to work with. She assists with every detail of the wedding and has plenty of venues and vendors to help you select exactly what you're looking for. Not exaggerating, but the wedding day itself was absolutely flawless, with no scrambling around or worrying about vendors or guests. Our wedding will be one of the most memorable days in our lives, and my husband and I loved every minute of it. I highly recommend Utterly Elegant for your wedding!

    My wedding was on 2/23/2013 and I had no regrets having Veronica as my wedding planner. Her service was impeccable from day 1. I got engaged in August 2012 and by October my fiancés got a notice from his job that he was being transferred to the philippines for work in March 2013. Thank god we met with Veronica. At consultation my fiancé and I were panicking because we only had 4 months to plan a wedding; we saw 2 other planners and we were turned away because the time was too close. Veronica was very calm and and assured us that everything would be ok. By the end of our consultation we felt like we had known her for a long time and that was the end of our stress. Utterly Elegant took care of the entire planning from head to toe till the last minute when we drove away. The hall decorations was perfect and I can't complain about any of the vendors from music to video. They were able to take all of my ideas and make it a reality on my special day. Veronica is very professional, she worked with our budget, great listener. Highly recommended!!!

    Thanks for such an awesome day!!
    Off to the philippines :)...

    I found out about Utterly Elegant through one of my friends that were married the prior year that Veronica had helped plan. When I actually got engaged, I immediately knew that I needed a wedding planner. I called Utterly Elegant the week after I was engaged because we were looking for a Christmas Eve wedding, and we only had 6 months to plan. I knew how much work would go into planning a wedding myself, and I knew with work and school, I did not have the time to plan the wedding of my dreams in such a short amount of time. That is why I chose to do the platinum package. I specifically asked to work with Veronica from all the great reviews my friend had given about her and her company. She helped me look at the several different venues that I was interested in and was able to negotiate such a great deal for us! From there on, Veronica took care of every detail of the wedding. She was truly able to capture my vision for my dream wedding and did everything possible to make sure my special day went according to plan. She also has a great list of vendors that her and her company work with that were also able to give us wonderful deals. Most brides are very nervous about their actual wedding day because there are a lot of things to do, vendors to pay, places to be. I can honestly say that I knew my wedding day was in the right hands, and that I was able to focus on how excited I was to be marrying my husband. It was so great to have Veronica there for most of the day to help make sure everything was going according to plan, relieving the pressure for my husband and I was able to really relax and focus on the importance of that day and what it would mean to us. It was such a pleasure working with her because she is a great person and really cares about making someone’s dream wedding come true. My wedding would not have been as fabulous and memorable and stress free as it was if it weren't for Veronica and her team.

    Veronica is AMAZING! I had a destination wedding 12/09/12 and was mostly trying to plan on my own but needed help especially since I didn't have a ceremony site yet. A good friend of mine recommended Veronica and I am so happy she did. Veronica pretty much picked up all the pieces I had scattered around and placed them together! She always answered my emails quickly and was helpful with suggestions. I remember one email I was having a bridal moment and freaking out and she said "breath it will work out, it always does" She was right! Wedding day was so beautiful, things that I was worried about even up to the wedding day she took care of and there were no issues. Ceremony site that she put together left me speechless and the venue looked beautiful with touches that she added. She made sure I was doing ok through out the night and packed everything up for us at the end of the night. She is so sweet and knows her business very well. I would highly recommend her for any event. Thank you Veronica for making our day so beautiful and special :-)

    Probably one of the best decisions I have made with absolutely no regret is hiring a wedding planner. More specifically, Utterly Elegant and working with Veronica. She is such an expert and I was reassured from day one of meeting her that I would have no worries about the wedding, and I was right for trusting and believing in her. She helped me with every last piece of the wedding. Her professionalism, her kindness, her business contacts, and her ability to see my vision for the wedding day were just some of the things I admired most about her. She was very flexible with her time throughout the entire planning. There were some days I could only meet her in the afternoons, and some days only in the evenings. No matter the time, she was always reliable. Her and her company are so wonderful to work with, I would recommend them to everyone or at the VERY LEAST, check out their website and see what they have to offer!! I promise you, it is worth the look and there are probably some packages that brides do not even know exist that would be EXTREMELY HELPFUL!! A++ company to work with!!!

    Utterly Elegant provided wedding day coordination services for my fiance and I. We knew from day 1 that we wanted to plan pur own wedding, especially considering our long 2 year engagement. We had enough time to find vendors and my job was flexible enough for me to do so.
    But as we approached about a month to our wedding day. We needed help and sought to find a wedding planner/coordinator. Utterly Elegant came to our rescue.
    We thorougly enjoyed our wedding day because we had Utterly Elegant coordinate everything from assisting me with the wedding day timeline, confirming and scheduling set up times for all the vendors, greet the vendors on site, assisting the bridal party with their flowers, boutonieres, corsages. They were pretty much our eyes and ears on the wedding day. The investment for this services was even less than the amount we paid majority of our vendors but was one of the most needed services to pull the entire day together. By the end of the reception, all our wedding gifts had been stowed away safely. We couldn't be any happier.
    Thanks Utterly Elegant for making our wedding do so special.

    Utterly Elegant provides the best buck for your money. The level of customer service is next to none. The owner Veronica Chukwu definitely knows how to make a customer feel at ease especially during the planning of a stressful event like a wedding.

    My wife and I couldn't have hoped for a better wedding planner. Veronica and her team were very responsive, and they will research for alternatives until the client is absolutely happy because I know my wife and I put her team through a lot but they were always re-assuring and accommodating.

    Thanks for making our occasion a memorable one. It was perfect. Thanks

    We hired Veronica as a day-of coordinator and glad that I did!! I had a big South Asian wedding and had a lot of details to coordinate. I wanted to take stress off of my parents and sister and therefore decided to get a day of coordinator. Veronica was quite professional from day one and extremely pleasant to work with! She was really organized and very meticulous. We had a one meeting before the wedding where she took notes rigorously and asked many questions to make sure she had all the details down!! It really put us at ease ! During the event Veronica was there and I really loved that she was able to make sure my decorator, Dj, and other vendors had done their part on time. Her team did a great job also helping with setting up our entrance tables, little decor items, and gift table etc. Only one thing was that I wish we had met or spoken more before the event rather than just one meeting,...or that she had gone over the details more. Maybe it was because we were her first south Asian wedding or maybe because a lot was going on, but at times she was asking my parents questions about what is next or what to do (they later told me this). They were not fully stress free and were running around a lot coordinating which I wish 100% was taken care of or that the communication would have been better. well most of the manual help was nicely taken care of .... Her team helped with the MAJOR stuff I needed - passing out favors on tables, ushering people to dinner, etc. which I am grateful for. I am confident Veronica will do amazing at all her future south Asian/ ethnic weddings! Now that she has experience with our traditions and "timeline." Im overall happy with the professionalism and pleasant attitude.
