Candice is the absolute best! She truly took all stress out of my special day, letting me relax and take it all in. I booked her for full service planning, and that was the best decision I made during wedding planning. She also set up my rehearsal dinner and made all of my wedding day signage (menus, welcome sign, table numbers, bar signs, etc). I truly don’t know how she is so good at her job, but I couldn’t ask for a better planner.

Candice made sure our day went off without a hitch! From the pre-day planning, to ensuring all the vendors were on time, even down to the flat-wear, every last detail was set in place so I did not have to worry about a thing. Her attention to detail, organization, and just true talent with design led to a beautiful day of pure joy enjoyed by all. Candice took on the hefty task of my plans for florals, our arch was absolutely stunning and every table setting and bar setting was so delicately designed. She is so talented and so kind, a great moral support to have on your big day. She is always in your corner and is there to make your dreams come true. I could not recommend her enough and will continue to try and bring her everyone I know that is getting married! She’s a must have on your wedding day!

Candice helped tremendously in the planning of my daughters destination wedding. The support she provided was incredible and relieved so much stress. Her familiarity with the venue we had chosen and her recommendation for some of the vendors made the long distance planning manageable. I highly recommend her services for a planning a beautiful wedding.

We found Candice six months before our wedding after having to fire our first wedding planner. Choosing Candice as our wedding planner was the best decision we could have made for our special day. From the very first meeting, she exuded professionalism, creativity, and a genuine passion for making our dream wedding a reality.

Candice handled every detail with such care and precision. She was very knowledgeable about vendors and was able to make amazing recommendations as well as handle correspondence with them. What truly set her apart was her ability to understand our vision and turn it into an event that was even more beautiful than we had imagined.

Communication was seamless; Candice was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns promptly. On the day of the wedding, she ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment with our loved ones. Her calm demeanor and problem-solving skills were a huge relief during the inevitable last-minute changes and surprises.

Our guests are still raving about how beautiful and well-organized the wedding was, and we owe it all to Candice. She made us feel like our wedding was her top priority, and that personal touch made all the difference.

We are forever grateful for Candice's dedication, patience and expertise. If you're looking for someone who will truly go above and beyond to make your wedding day unforgettable, look no further. Candice is simply the best!

Thank you, Candice, for making our dream wedding come true!

This is going to be a long review- but here’s what you need to know. There’s a lot of wedding planners out there, Candice is the best. If you want someone to take care of as little or as much as you want- hire her. You will not worry about a thing.

I originally hired a wedding planner- we put our deposit down (she is fairly well known on social media so I felt comfortable doing so), she cancelled multiple meetings and refused to help me plan.

In a panic, my date was 6 months away, I cut ties with the first after finding Candice.
I had a very specific vision in mind, she worked with me to find everything.
She has vendors she works with, some of these vendors we had estimates from prior, but they offered her better pricing, that was more affordable for us.
At the time, I worked 70-80 hours a week- it came to a point where I told her what I wanted she gave me a few options and I’d sign a check and she’d handle the details.

She planned my bridal shower, and wedding.

Bridal shower she had fun games, hired a florist for everyone to put a bouquet together, had different flavors of mimosas, Cracker Barrel breakfast, cake and cupcakes. The setting was beautiful. It was a feminine brunch, and completely perfect, she worked with my bridesmaids to plan something that was true to them, but fit my vision.

Our wedding was perfect, I woke up and just got to be a bride. We got married August of 2020, we had 40 people (that’s including ourselves), at the time our venue required plated dinners. If anything went wrong, I still have no clue. She handled all of the decorations, setting everything up, and coordinating with all of our vendors.

Spend the money, don’t let your family do it, have them enjoy your special day with you.

She deserves more than 5 stars because now even 3 years later, she is by far our favorite vendor. If you hire someone else, it is genuinely your loss.

Candice saved us money, listened to me when I was stressed about my wedding or family, and I cannot recommend her enough.

Where to start! We interviewed a few wedding planners, but Candice’s maturity, professionalism, and experience stood out against the rest.

First, if you’re on the fence about partial or full planning, invest in FULL planning. It’s 100% worth it. You actually save money by getting full access to her inventory of items you’ll never use again (signage, gold mirrors, easels, flower girl baskets, ring bearer pillows, koozie baskets, candles, vases, etc) AND she’ll also do all your paper goods (table numbers, place cards, seating chart, etc) for you.

Candice was such a dream and so professional from the start. She kept us organized and on track, handled all the details and vendor meetings, and was in constant communication. But here’s what I appreciated the most: I’m sure she has many brides to tend to at once, but she makes you feel like you’re the only one. I reached out to her constantly and she always responded quickly.

The day of the wedding went by perfectly all because of Candice. She showed up first thing in the morning to set everything up and made sure the day went by smoothly (even sent an assistant to pick up more vodka when we ran out!). After the wedding, Candice cleaned up everything and took all of our left over belongings to our house at 1AM while we continued to celebrate at the hotel. I was able to relax and fully enjoy the wedding day because she handled everything.

My parents were so impressed by Candice they want to book her again for when my little sister gets married!

If you need a wedding planner look no further. Hire Candice now. She assisted my daughter through the process and was beyond wonderful.
