Coordinated

Summer did an amazing job handling all aspects of our wedding day. She was in contact our other vendors and made sure that everyone was on the same page on wedding day. Summer was also personable and I felt very comfortable and at ease with her. The day of our wedding was amazing and we did not have to worry about thing! Thanks Summer!

Coordinated did an excellent job helping with my daughter's wedding. On the wedding day Susan Marie and Summer were worth their weight in gold. The day would not have gone as smoothly or successfully without their help. We had a problem with one of the vendors that had to be resolved after the wedding. They went me to the meeting and helped to bring closure to the problem. I would highly recommend Coordinated for any event you are doing. Their expertise cannot be surpassed!

Coordinated helped me through the best day of my life. Even though I myself am a wedding coordinator, Susan Marie really helped me pull out all the stops and made sure that everything went just the way that I wanted it to go. If you need someone who is detail oriented and will get things done just the way that you want them to, then Coordinated is one of the ways to go.

Susan Marie and Summer are an absolute pleasure to work with. Within hours of hiring them, I felt my stress levels lowering and felt that all of my goals for wedding planning were suddenly achievable. They took a majority of the planning off of my hands and handled everything I needed so I could focus on finishing Graduate School. I always had prompt communication from them (usually within an hour of contacting them)and could always rely on Summer to bring her cheerful perspective and Susan Marie to have the latest up to date information on all of my vendors and budget. Anything I needed ( calling wayward relatives, sorting out rental issues, attending vendor appointments with me), they handled, and with the up most professionalism. They were everything I needed: a shoulder to cry on, a second opinion, a sounding board, and more often than not, the "voice" of reality. But more importantly, they became the champions of my wedding -- assuring that I was getting the best services, treatment, and was as stress free as possible. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes not only leading up to the wedding but the day of the wedding (they were setting up flowers, the tent, anything and everything - literally).They did everything they could to make sure my wedding was literally picture perfect, and did a wonderful job transforming my off beat vision into a reality. My only regret is that I didn't hire them sooner -- but I am glad that I found them when I did, as I truly believe they are the reason my wedding was such a show stopper. They are, hands down, the best vendor I hired, and who I couldn't have lived without. I would highly recommend them for any event and will use them again should I ever have to plan an event again.

Coordinated is a truly appropriate name for these exceptional women. My daughter's wedding involved a venue that was placed into "protective custody" by federal marshalls 2 weeks before the wedding, a photographer from NYC, videographers from California, i-pod wedding music Susan Marie managed while hiding in bushes, a photo booth, and a bride who had a bit of OCD when it came to her plans. Due to creative differences, our original planners parted ways with us half-way through the planning. Shell-shocked, we looked around for others who could possibly step in and bring my daughter's wedding vision to fruition. After viewing Coordinated's website, my daughter set up a meeting with Coordinated--hoping the creativity displayed on the website was truly indicative of their work. We were blown away at the first meeting! Susan Marie, a pint-sized dynamo, quickly put us at ease. I know we all looked like deer in the headlights, fearful of rejection of Sarah's ideas. Susan Marie came to the table without preconceived ideas on what things "should be." Never once did she look askance at the ideas presented. The quote presented for what we needed was very reasonable, and in retrospective was down-right cheap based on the work they did! Susan Marie and Summer were with us every step of the way; from make-up trials to selecting tablecloths and flowers. They even sacrificed and accompanied us to a martini and wine tasting, where the signature martinis were created! Most importantly, they were point for all the vendors, keeping everything flowing smoothly. When difficulties arose, they promptly and efficiently fought and won our battles. When, at the rehearsal, we realized that the tent and flooring were not as described by the rental company, they problem solved the dilemma and personally worked with the caterer to achieve a setup we could use. When it came to the budget we had set for the wedding, they worked very closely with us, helping us find alternatives as needed, negotiating deals with vendors, suggesting cuts we could make, all the while keeping my daughter's vision--and my pocketbook--in mind. Never did they pooh-pooh and idea because of cost, or because it would involve more effort on their part. Thanks to Susan Marie and Summer, the wedding was magnificent. Sure, things got a bit bumpy at times, but they leveled the playing field so that my bride and groom were happy, the guests were blown away, and we had a wedding that will be remember by all involved for a long time.

When my mom suggested we look into wedding coordinators, my reaction was...we'll be fine, we can do it ourselves. Luckily she convinced me that using Coordinated would be a good idea because we could not have pulled off my wedding without Susan Marie, Summer, and their team!! We decided to utilize them with a few brief sessions during planning but mostly to help with logistics on the wedding day. Susan Marie and Summer were so organized, resourceful, and flexible during our meetings. They kept us on track, provided excellent local vendor recommendations, and gave us great advice. They could answer or would find the answer to ANY question we had during the process. I stayed very calm, especially on my wedding day, knowing that Susan Marie and Summer had everything under control (including making sure the boys were ready on time!) They were amazing, and I recommend them to anybody planning a wedding. Thank you Susan Marie and Summer!!

Susan Marie and Summer were an invaluable asset to planning and executing a wonderful destination wedding weekend for my daughter. I first met with them 6 months before the wedding to go over the wedding weekend "events" and the vendors that we had already hired for the wedding day. I was instantly impressed with their professionalism, resourcefulness, and efficiency. We met with them several more times of the course of the next 4 months. They were organized, detail-oriented (which I love), and willing to meet with us at the venue site, 2 hours away. There were many logisitcs, including alot of transportation issues, that they fully comprehended. They were always cheerful and positive and we were reassured that everything would go smoothly on wedding day! I appreciated their foresight in knowing that we would need more than 2 coordinators on the day of the wedding and we were so glad that we had a "team" of capable and prepared women. The printed timeline and the printed ceremony rehearsal guidelines made it easier for everyone to stay on track. Susan Marie and Summer's skills and personalities complement each other and we are delighted to have the opportunity to highly recommend them to future brides.

A wedding has the potential to be overwhelming on a scale too grand for anyone to contemplate and feel at ease. For my bride and me, the thoughts of keeping up with details seemed trivial in the big picture. But we both wanted to have a great wedding with our families and friends that we would remember as a celebration of our covenant together. How could we have the wedding we desired to signify the celebration and launch of our lifetime together with numerous details at the forefront of our mind? We couldn't afford distractions for this unforgettable occasion. Susan Marie and Summer provided excellent service, care, and comfort, covering details that never crossed my mind. Without them, I would have remembered a different day... An untimely, uncoordinated, and uncomfortable day filled with flubs, confusion, and a lack of assurance of our next step. I recommend them with all that's within me. With Coordinated Events, our wedding was a pleasure - not a burden, fun - not exhausting, and unforgettable - not regrettable. I wouldn't change a thing! Thanks Susan Marie and Summer for lifting the burden that a bride and groom have little time for!

I am originally from Greensboro, NC, however I currently live in Georgia and at the time my husband lived in Ohio. Susan and Summer did an excellent job by helping me to coordinate a wedding from another state. They are extremely organized, and well versed on proper wedding protocol. Susan and Summer are unparalleled in their service, enthusiasm, and organization. I would not only recommend making a coordinator an invaluable part of your wedding budget, but to also make sure that it's Susan and Summer. You will save yourself from many headaches in the long run.

I can't imagaine how my wedding would have come together without coordinated! Their services and personal commitment to excellence are amazing. Don't even think about trying to do it all by yourself to get everything planned and organzied for your wedding without these awesome ladies.
