“She played a critical role in helping the day of our wedding run smoothly and exactly how we wanted. We met with her about a month out from our wedding, at which point she helped us feel SO much better about the timing and everything on our big day. She was able to be on some final calls with our vendors and connected with them all the week of our wedding to make sure everything was still running according to plan. Her organization on the day of our wedding was flawless. From set up to take down, schedule and flow, Hillary was the key to making our wedding be exactly the way we imagined it! We cannot thank or recommend her enough!”

“I could rave about her for hours. I knew I needed help planning my dream wedding and Hillary truly went above and beyond. I couldn't have created my vision without her help and guidance. She helped me each step of the way, helped me find vendors, came to vendor meetings, came to our tasting, and was with us the whole wedding day to ensure everything went smoothly. She was always available to answer my questions throughout the process and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She was amazing!!”

“She is a fantastic planner with an eye for detail. It was so much easier having Hillary by our side throughout the process. She helped us hone in on how we wanted our wedding day to feel for both us and for our guests. We were able to forward her communication from vendors to coordinate details on our behalf, and we could ask her questions whenever we were split on a decision or roadblock of some kind. We loved working with her and would absolutely recommend Hillary to any couple in need.”
