I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Bailey Experience and how beautifully my wedding was planned and decorated!

Avenue Design Studio - Wedding Planning 

5.0

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Athens, LA

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

Bee’s Balloon Artistry & Events

A little about myself, I started my business in early 2022 in events and balloon decor expanding my services to include wedding coordinator services. What sets me apart as a coordinator is empathy I always make an extra effort to do check-ins in the weeks prior to the big day. I approach each wedding with an open mind and emergency kit ready to make your big day as stress free as we can. Hiccups are a part of the process but my goal is to be there and have your back. I can’t wait to be your wedding day bestie!

Bridgette is the best day-of coordinator you'll ever find! She made the stressful process of getting last-minute things in order for my wedding such a breeze. She communicated with all of my vendors for the weeks leading up to the wedding, created a very detailed schedule, and was very communicative and helpful every step of the process. She even caught a mistake in one of my vendor's contracts and reached out to them to fix it! The day of the wedding she was doing everything from steaming dresses to setting up decor to helping me calm my nerves. I was hesitant about getting a day-of coordinator and looking back, I truly have no idea what I would have done without Bridgette's help. She's truly the best there is for such a reasonable price and I cannot recommend her enough!

I am a certified Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Specialist and work with clients all over the US.

If you are even thinking of a destination wedding, I highly recommend you work with Mindi Phillips! She is extremely knowledgeable and genuine and so easy to talk to! The whole time I felt like she was a good friend who understood me. She is quick to respond to emails and when my fiancé and I had an opening in our schedules and wanted to tour venues in Cancun literally the next week she was proactive in booking us a room and scheduling tours with multiple wedding coordinators and hotels that fit our criteria. She truly went above and beyond what we expected!!! Thank you Mindi, our wedding would not have been made possible if not for you. Allison

Ivory & Sage Weddings 

5.0

  • Offers 5 services
  • Serves Athens, LA

I graduated in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in business management, and throughout college I received certifications in marketing, event management and advertising. I absolutely love my job and all the challenges that come with it, and I feel I’ve been thoroughly prepared for anything that could be thrown my way. ​ I started this company in January of 2020, when I started planning a friend's wedding and realized my passion wasn't just event planning, it was wedding planning. I took the time to train and understand different types of weddings, so that I can make sure my job is done right the first time.

Ivory & Sage Weddings was an outstanding choice for our wedding planning. From the very first conversation, Maeghan and her team demonstrated quick, efficient, and knowledgeable communication. On the day of the wedding, they were on time, kept everything running smoothly, and didn't hesitate to jump in whenever we needed something done. Maeghan was absolutely wonderful - she anticipated our every need so that when I asked, it was already taken care of. Her team handled all the set up and breakdown, and we were able to use their beautiful decor so we didn't have to bring or set up anything ourselves. We are thrilled with the exceptional service and value Ivory & Sage Weddings provided, and we would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Team Yellow Rose truly brought our vision to life. From our initial consultation, I knew that Isabel and I were on the same page. Isabel was creative with different ways to maintain our budget. She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any. Though we did not meet in person often, she was always a quick text or call away which we really valued. I can't thank this team enough for making our dream wedding a reality.

Let's get to know each other 👋🏼 I'm Brittany! First of all, thank you for considering hiring me as your wedding planner 📖 . I have over ten years in wedding planning and design experience. I started my business in New Jersey but quickly fell in love with what Florida had to offer so we moved down in 2020. I’m a lover of coffee and sunshine. ☀️ my husband and I have been married for 7 years, we have 2 kiddos, Charley and Parker and 2 pups - Bear and Boone. I’m a huge animal lover- specially dogs 🐕 Fun fact- I rescued 5 Thailand meat market dogs by flying them to the US from Bangkok (on my honeymoon 😂 ) I can’t wait to meet you!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I was wedding planning I was hesitant to hire a day of coordinator, but I am so glad that I did. Brittany was absolutely the best investment that we made for our wedding. From the first phone call I had with Brittany, her demeanor put me at ease and was a big part of why I decided to hire her. Even though she was only my day of coordinator she helped me book my last couple vendors that I needed. The Sunday before our wedding we did a final walkthrough at the venue where Brittany got the lay of the land, got to ask questions to the venue, make suggestions to me for day of, and make the timeline. She did so much work behind the scenes communicating with vendors that really took the pressure off of me the last few weeks of the wedding. The day of, Brittany arrived to the venue hours before anyone else to set up. She did everything absolutely perfect and kept me updated the whole entire time. During the ceremony and reception she was running around helping the photographer, answering vendor questions, and keeping us on track of the timeline. When the wedding was over Brittany and her husband broke down all the tables and chairs, boxed up our desserts, and helped us get all the decor and gifts loaded in the car. Overall we wouldn't have had the amazing wedding we had without Brittany, she's the best and well worth the investment!

Blue Poppy Events 

5.0

  • Offers 5 services
  • Serves Athens, LA for additional fees

Blue Poppy Events was born out of a passion for helping our clients mold their dreams into reality. Since our inception, we’ve committed ourselves to creating impactful and creative experiences for our clients and their guests, no matter the size of the event. In serving as wedding planners and coordinators for events around the world, our team strives to meet and exceed the needs of everyone involved. This is because we understand the importance of working with (not just for) our clients in order to make their events unforgettable, forging memories that last long after the final guest leaves.

They hugged us like we we're their own children before the ceremony, danced with us on the dance floor, and didn't let us think about anything except being present for our day. Carrie & Rebekah were special from the moment we had our consult call, but for the 15 months we planned with them up to the wedding day, they exceeded every need and expectation. They made us feel safe, supported, and special throughout the entire planning process and most importantly they took over every little detail on the day of the wedding and I was able to walk away with being fully present, having the best memories and focus for my day. They asked our vendors the right questions, helped us make decisions (especially for a Type A overthinker bride like myself), and helped make sure our values/personal preferences for our day shined through. I was getting texts for days after from our wedding party and parents saying “your planners are amazing!” They made every person in the room feel comfortable and aware of expectations while also being funny, personable and kind. It was also a great feeling when vendors asked who our planners were and we said Blue Poppy they would sigh with relief because they also love working with them! If you’re looking for a duo that become your right hand people and can execute your vision seamlessly, these are your ladies! They are truly talented at what they do.

Every love story deserves a storyteller who gets it right. As your wedding planner, I don't just coordinate events – I translate the unique rhythm of your relationship into an unforgettable celebration. With 10+ years of turning wedding-day dreams into picture-perfect realities, I've mastered the art of bringing personal touches to life while keeping the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. At the end of the day, your wedding isn't just about the perfect timeline or the pristine place settings – it's about celebrating your love story exactly the way you imagined it.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but my wife and I actually looked forward to our planning meetings. She listened to our vision, offered creative solutions, and anticipated needs we didn't even know we had. When unexpected rain threatened to dampen our spirits, she stepped in with backup venues, alternative photo locations, and solutions that kept our celebration running smoothly. Our guests had an absolute blast, completely unaware of the behind-the-scenes magic she was working. To any couple planning their wedding, I cannot recommend Sanjam highly enough. She doesn't just plan weddings – she creates experiences, manages emotions, and turns potential stress into pure joy. Our wedding was perfect, and that's entirely because of her incredible skill and dedication.

Michelle was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. Coming from Georgia, we decided to elope in Miami on a whim, and Michelle made our dream a reality with ease. Despite the spontaneity of our decision, Michelle responded promptly and understood our desire for a private, relaxed, and fun beach wedding on Cinco de Mayo. She effortlessly handled every detail, allowing us to simply show up and enjoy the moment. Despite some last-minute travel hiccups causing stress, Michelle's warm welcome and impeccable ceremony turned our vibe around completely. Her attention to detail brought our vision to life, and we're immensely grateful for her hard work and dedication, which made it possible for us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment.

My name is Steph Stanglin and I am an experienced wedding and special event planner! My goal is to create lifelong memories for my couple through beautiful, customized bridal events. Some fun facts about me are: I have 2 cats (Milo and Kiro) and 1 dog (Rory), My goal is to visit every state and continent before I turn 40, I'm a certified Swiftie, and Reality TV and chocolate are my guilty pleasures. Most likely to be seen carrying a binder and crying at first looks and vows.

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on. I cannot recommend Steph enough. She is wonderful and sweet and kind and I cannot believe I found her! We could not have done it without her.

At Enchanted Weddings by B&K, our passion for event coordination is the heart and soul of our business. It is this love for creating memorable and flawlessly executed events that drives us to provide the highest level of service to our clients. We understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and we are committed to making it perfect in every way.

Brianna and Karin were absolute rockstars! They took on a super difficult task due to the nature of the venue -- an DIY outdoor center with no cell phone reception, and key sites separated by a 0.3 mile gravel path, plus literally 7 different locations for all the different events (rehearsal, his and hers getting ready, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, and food storage cabin). Oh, also the venue team has never hosted a wedding before!!! B&K handled it perfectly. I truly don't know what we would have done without them. Thank you for helping make it such a truly unique and special day.
