Start Your Forever With Confidence
"I met Valerie and quickly realized a coordinator and wedding designer is what we needed! Before the big day we had a few meeting where Valerie presented me with very detailed information and asked all the right questions to make sure she had every ounce of detail she needed. Along with coordinating she helped with decor and created a beautiful vision.
"Best Wedding Decision We Could Have Made!"
The night before she was hard at work helping decorate our barn from table settings to hanging drapes, and doing an aisle walk through for our wedding party.
Day of, Valerie coordinated with all of our vendors so we didn't have to worry about a single thing. Our day would not have been what it was without all of her help both decorating and coordinating and is the BEST wedding decision we could have made. I would 100% recommend Valerie to anyone planning a wedding or any party!"
