    Wonderful Wedding Planner

    We spoke to more than one wedding planner. However, we both knew immediately by Mrs. Lydia's demeanor that she was the one to go with. She was professional, friendly, efficient and flexible. Mrs. Lydia pulled together a beautiful beach wedding experience with VERY little time and accommodated us on everything possible. Her connection to restaurant vendors in the community helped to make it happen, despite, cancellations with our original venue, hotel and issues due to the aftermath of hurricanes in the area. She even arranged for the officiant when ours cancelled last minute and a photographer. We wound up liking the venue she arranged better than where we were originally going to have it. Her help was well worth the money to take away the stress of coordinating everything ourselves, but still allowed us to add our own personal touches to the wedding. Our friends and family had nothing but positive things to say about how it turned out, even the ones that are very hard to impress. To top it off, this was during the middle of CoVid restrictions. So, I give her a 5 star rating.

    Videographer

    As a videographer, it's ideal to work with planners who nail all of the details perfectly and I will say that Lydia did a great job when we worked together. Can't say enough good things about her team! Their eye and expertise is off the charts. They will give you the wedding of your dreams.

    Month of Wedding Coordinator

    I hired 'Weddings by Lydia' about two months before my wedding date and I am so happy that I did! I personally love to plan and consider myself a very organized person, which is why I did not hire a wedding coordinator at the beginning of the planning process. That being said, once my date became closer, I knew I needed someone to help facilitate everything the day of the wedding. I am so happy that I had Lydia and her wonderful team for the last month of wedding planning. Lydia came up with a timeline, reached out to vendors, and made the final month of preparation a lot easier for me. It was especially nice that Lydia had previously worked with many of the vendors I hired and worked seamlessly with them. Lydia and her team went over and above to make sure my wedding day was especially special and stress free. I can honestly say that I was not worried about anything going wrong having such a reliable and professional coordinator- thank you, Lydia!

    Weddings by Lydia's reply:

    What a beautiful review, Gabrielle, and what a beautiful bride you were, both inside and out! You and Drew were very special, along with your wonderful family!
    Thank you also for complementing my team. I'm very blessed to have them!
    Best Wishes!
    Lydia, Tonya & Janice

    So helpful!

    Lydia was such a joy to work with. I am not from the area and she knew exactly what and where I needed to go. Her knowledge of the area was great, from the beach house, hotels, restaurants, cakes, photographers, renting chairs, the list just goes on. She handled so many things and I was able to enjoy being the mother of the bride. I would highly recommend Weddings by Lydia. She was a very professional planner but I left Pensacola feeling like I had a new friend. I would not change anything that Lydia did or recommended. Thanks for making my daughters dreams come true.

    Weddings by Lydia's reply:

    Dear Mary,
    You have been a pleasure to work with from the very first moment I spoke to you about your daughter's wedding!
    Whitney was such a beautiful bride and so blessed to have a mother as kind, generous and sweet as you are! I truly hope you and I will stay in touch, so we can continue our wonderful friendship!
    Thank you so much for your beautiful review!
    Warmest Regards,
    Lydia

    Simply Elegant

    We decided to elope and not tell anyone we were getting married. I was nervous about working with someone over the phone and email, but Lydia made everything absolutely perfect. She is very professional, informative and easily accessible. We wanted something simple but special. Lydia delivered, we both were blown away how she catered to our ideas, even down to the exact bouquet my wife described to her. She genuinely cares and listens to what you want. She picked out a perfect spot on a secluded beach and everything was in place when we showed up. 5 star treatment

    Weddings by Lydia's reply:

    Thank you so much, Philip! I know how busy you are and I appreciate that you took some time away just to say such kind things about the wonderful time we shared at your wedding!
    You and your beautiful wife made it really special for us, too!

    Great Communication

    As day-of wedding coordinators, Lydia and her team made sure things ran smoothly from start to finish. If there were any mishaps, I wasn't aware, which is exactly how it should be. I felt taken care of. There was a lot of repeating information, for clarification leading up to the wedding, but it ensured things were absolutely perfect. One coordinator, Lindsay, was so sweet and organized, they really have a great team and I'd recommended them to anyone looking for a day-of coordinator!

    Weddings by Lydia's reply:

    Monika!
    Thank you so much for your kind words.
    You, your family, and the bridal couple could not have been sweeter throughout the wedding. There was so much fun and excitement and the flowers and pictures were just gorgeous!

    Made day of so relaxing

    Working with Lydia was great. She was very thorough with all of our phone conversations and made sure not to miss any details. The day of was great I did not have to worry about anything, I just had to show up and everything was done and was able to leave the reception without having to take anything down or clean up. She was there to coordinate with all the vendors. It was nice having someone take over the logistics for our big day!

    Weddings by Lydia's reply:

    Thanks so much, Madison! You've made my day and I appreciate you taking the time to review us.
    It was wonderful working with you throughout the process and you were always so open to suggestions. You made our day very special, too!

    Lydia was great!

    My wife and I chose Lydia to be our day of coordinator for our wedding. We had worked so hard to plan everything and about a month and a half out we knew we couldn’t do it all by ourselves the day of. When I first called Lydia she was extremely friendly and caring and so genuine. Throughout the month and a half of planning with her she was very attentive and checked in with us. She met us whenever we wanted or needed and everything was perfect the day of. I would highly recommend lydia! She treated our special day as if it were her own and we couldn’t have been happier.

    Weddings by Lydia's reply:

    Stephanie,
    You were so wonderful and easy to work with the entire time we spent together! You both are a very dear couple and if I could clone you, I would. I had a lot of fun coordinating your beautiful wedding and your warmth and kindness to me and my team won't be forgotten!
    Thank you!

    Best Wedding Planner!

    Lydia was beyond extraordinary, she made my husband and I’s vow renewal something close to a magical fairytale. Lydia was only ever one phone call, email, or text away for all my questions and concerns, especially since we were from the heart of Texas, and me never having met her reassured my ever worry. Lydia went above and beyond for every absurd request I had, she always made sure every little detail was perfection down to the hard to find pink roses for my flower girls and the immaculate sunset and location where my husband and I said our “I do’s”. Thank you, Lydia, for the unforgettable memories and the joy you and your team brought to my family and I.

    Top notch wedding planning/coordinating

    Lydia and her team are amazing at what they do. They are extremely professional, which made the entire wedding run smoothly. There were zero flaws or hiccups, and everything was perfect. Planning and coordination is vital for a fun, successful wedding and this is the company that you can trust to make it happen.

    They are also some of the most friendly and personable people I have ever met, which created a calming, light-hearted environment for everyone involved. Lydia exhibits the type of dedication, expertise, and professionalism that one would usually only find in a large city with large competition. Truly top notch.

    Thank you!

    Wonderful 35 year anniversay/vow renewal

    Lydia is a great connecter. Her vender recommendations were all wonderful. It would have been impossible for me to pull together a 35 year anniversary/vow renewal when I live and work 4 hours away. Lydia also remained a positive influence for me in spite of a category 5 hurricane (Michael) hitting the gulf coast only days before my ceremony. Thankfully Santa Rosa Island was spared any damage from that storm. Lydia and her team arrived very early the morning of my ceremony and took charge of decisions and setup for the ceremony so that I could focus on getting ready. It all turned out to be a beautiful day and a wonderful celebration for my entire family.

    Awesome Coordinator

    Working with Lydia was a pleasure. Throughout the engagement period Lydia traveled several hours to the venue on multiple occasions to ensure everything was going smoothly. She was so kind to offer her expertise when asked. She has wonderful ideas and does everything in power to make sure your wedding day is one of the best days in your life!!! I highly recommend “Weddings by Lydia” to assist with making your wedding day a dream come true.

    Lydia was a fantastic and detailed wedding coordinator. We are from North Alabama and only visited Pensacola one time to plan my daughter's wedding. Lydia was always available to my daughter and me via phone, text or cell. She even helped make sure that the exterior of the house our reception was being held at was painted a mere three days before the wedding!!!! Lydia and her team were completed devoted to my daughter and her husband for the entire day of their wedding and did an amazing job with the vendors, decorations, and the timeline. Using Lydia was the single best decision we made for my daughter's wedding.

    There are no words to describe just how grateful we are, I can tell you right now that it’s not going to fit into a card! Lydia were hands down the best decision we made in this whole of this wedding process, we really did have the best day of our lives and we will treasure it forever. For two people who were very much out of their element you were patient, understanding and clear in your communications. Thank you for the late nights, the never ending emails, the laughter and the memories. From help picking out a beach house, photographer, florist, Baker and everyone involved we were blown away by the cohesion and beauty in every aspect of our day.

    Lydia is so much more than a wedding planner, she is an angel who goes above and beyond on all occasions. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and dedication are just amazing. She is a rarity and a diligent professional, from the little details to the overall picture she made our day absolutely perfect. People don’t believe us when we said we never felt stress, only joy, but it’s true.

    My wife and I are from Mississippi and I grew the best relationship with Lydia over the phone. Best wishes to Lydia and her team.

    A small THANK YOU for a BIG job.

    Much much love Debbie and Star

    Lydia went above and beyond for us! We really can’t explain how grateful we were to find Lydia. We live over in Orlando and the communication from Lydia was great. We met with her once in person and that was all we needed to get on the same page. As the big day approached she took her game to the next level for us. Then once the big day finally came her husband Greg and her other girls really helped with the whole set up and everything turned out even more beautiful than planned. Excellent excellent work! Weddings by Lydia is the way to go! Carlos & Natasha M

    Weddings by Lydia is wonderful! As mother of the groom, helping my son plan his wedding in three months, I hired Lydia as a full wedding planner because some things were hard for my son and his bride to plan from out of town and I was unable to fully be of help due to medical needs during the three months before the wedding. So we were in need of a wedding planner but all other planners, either their reviews were not good or they would not return my calls. I saw Lydia's website and contacted her that day. She answered immediately and met with me that afternoon. I hired Lydia and she handled all plans but consulted with me, my son and his bride, for our, mostly their decisions and kept us informed and updated of all plans. I was able to be involved with some of the planning but I couldn't have done so without the help of Lydia. She handled everything with great care and managed all plans well and coordinated a beautiful and just about perfect wedding. She was professional but was caring and concerned for all our needs. She took interest and care in our family and took time for us whenever we needed something. She arranged meetings with vendors and myself to go over plans and choices mostly made by my son and his bride. Lydia also kept in constant contact with all of us by phone, text or email. She met with my son and his bride also on Skype a couple of times. The wedding, ceremony and reception was just beautiful and grand! And the reception was loads of fun! Everyone, all family and guests, even the vendors thoroughly enjoyed the entire wedding. Lydia was on top of everything and made sure everything went smoothly and so that we wouldn't have to worry about anything and allowed us just to enjoy the wedding without any stress.

    Tracy, I'm speechless (that doesn't happen often) and very touched by your words!
    You wanted so much for your son and daughter-in-law to be happy and to have a wedding day filled with love and laughter.
    I and my wonderful team, (Shannon & Nichole) were honored to be part of it!
    Thank you so much!
    Lydia
