Weddings By Michele

I could never fully explain how grateful I am to Michele. She was a fountain of information and eased my nerves the second I talked to her. I had a tall order for her when it came to planning my wedding and she (and my wedding) exceeded my expectations. My wedding was outside in a place that had never hosted a wedding and my mother-in-law had a LOT of guests and I had a very limited budget. I did not think my budget could include a wedding planner, but Michele saved me at least three times (probably five times, honestly) as much as she cost me. Michele was personable and confident through every aspect of the planning and the nerves associated with the planning. She is in contact with a huge crowd of wedding related vendors - from the portable toilets to the photographer. She can answer any question and deal with any problem and I cannot imagine what we would have done without her. Have I said enough? I could go on and on and still not feel like I did her justice. I would recommend her services to absolutely anyone and will forever be thankful that she was part of my special day!

Weddings by Michele is the best! I am a stickler for perfection and knew that no one ...no one would EVER be able to live up to my expectations. I was wrong! Michele and her staff surpassed them all. Not just once, but twice. She planned and coordinated my daughter's fairytale wedding ten years ago and then recently planned and coordinated my 35th Wedding/Reaffirmation. She was always personable yet highly professional. She managed to accomplish things that I thought were impossible. I just sat back and enjoyed our ceremony and celebration because I knew that Michele would make sure EVERYTHING was perfect. I can not express how beautiful and perfect both occasions were. I may have had the initial ideas, I took them to Michele, some she loved and knew exactly how to accomplish them. Others, she gave me options I didn't even know I had. I love her to pieces!!!!!!! She single-handedly made our dreams come true!

Michele’s services were exceptional! She was flexible, knowledgeable, and creative. She went above and beyond my expectations. Michele gave me great insight and was always there to answer all my “many” questions. I had a blast working with her through every step of the planning process. My big day was unforgettable! I would recommend Michele to anyone who wants their wedding to be ‘a dream come true!’

I am so happy that I met Michele at the Bridal Show in Lexington. We had a small wedding with family out of town. Michele designed our announcements for all of our friends and clients, and they were perfect. I was so short on time that Michele even went a step further and stamped and mailed them for us. Then we used one of our wedding photos (with our children) for Christmas cards. She once again assisted us with the text and did a beautiful job printing the pictures. We are very happy with Michele's expertise and assistance.

Hiring Michele was one of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding. I knew right away she was a perfect match for me. She was on top of every detail and made our day stress free and memorable. When someone can pull off a June wedding in 100 degree weather OUTSIDE perfectly, you know you got the best! Now I'm training along with her to become a wedding planner myself in hopes to be as organized, knowledgeable, and detail oriented as she is with her business. Thanks again Michele.....

They are great. They are very professional and helpful. I took my own invitations and they printed them for me. THis means that they are very willing to help you and work in anyway you need them too. They have lots of stationary to chose from for every budget. I highly recommend them.

I was very happy with the service! She was very creative and that's a big part for a wedding planner. The price was fair. I would choose this wonderful service again if I had another wedding.

Can I give more than 5 stars for value for cost?? Investing in Michele was THE BEST decision I made when planning my wedding. My day was completely stress free and every detail was catered to. I truly can't imagine a bride deciding to take on all of those details themselves. Michele and Tammy really are a budget must have!!

She did a beautiful job of planning our wedding. We had a great time.

Very professional and friendly staff. The announcement looked very nice and were moderately affordable. Note: I do not necessarily recall the cost of the invitations, so I estimated the amount below.

Michele was a tremendous asset in planning our special day, especially in assisting with selecting vendors that best suited our tastes and in providing suggestions and details that made the day's events run smoothly. Pleasure to work with!

She did a really nice job planning my wedding.

I hired Michele to help plan, coordinate, organize and overall tie up the loose ends for our wedding starting the month prior. The months leading up to my wedding, I didn't expect her to be terribly involved due to the fact that we only signed a contract for the month of the wedding. Leading up to the big day, Michele was great to work with considering our expectations, which weren't very high. If we had questions, she responded within 24 hours with great suggestions/advice regarding using specific vendors and handling specific situations. She created our timeline for the rehearsal as well as the entire day of the wedding. She made our programs and table numbers which looked great! She also made our signature drink signs which, after looking into everything further, were named incorrectly. They were supposed to be called "Mint to Be," but for some reason they were called "Wedding Blitz" on the signs. No idea where that came from. This is only the beginning of the mistakes. We visited the ceremony and reception site together as well as discussed specific details with event managers. Everything "seemed" to be running smoothly until the most important days arrived...the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. For some reason, everything we discussed on the timeline, the order of the wedding party, how the ceremony was to take place/look, etc. all went out the window. She completely forgot practically everything we discussed. She forgot to tell the wedding party how they were supposed to stand the day of the wedding, she forgot where the wedding party was supposed to come in from, she forgot the order of the wedding party, and, since we were having an outdoor wedding, she forgot to make sure cars were lined up so the attendants couldn't see me walk out in my wedding dress before I walked down the aisle. Not to mention she did not coordinate with the photographer when the wedding party was supposed to be ready, so the groomsmen and ring bearers (who are 3 & 5) were waiting in the lobby for nearly TWO AND A HALF hours prior to the wedding. The groomsmen were pulled off the golf course early because she was screaming that they weren't going to be ready in time. Later, my mother and mother-in-law overheard her make a snide comment about my husband getting drunk at the bar all day before the wedding. Completely unneccessary...it's his wedding day too and if he wants to stay and the bar and get drunk (which he wasn't, by the way) then let him to do it. Then, to top it all off, after the ceremony when my husband and I were taking pictures, our wedding party had no idea where to go. Should they go take pictures? Should they stay at the ceremony site? Can they enjoy cocktail hour at the reception with the other guests? They had no idea and Michele was no where to be found. Finally my sister-in-laws found Michele hoping to get answers, and where was she? Having a cocktail by the reception tent by herself (we have photo evidence)! When my sister-in-laws asked her where everyone should be, she proceeded to blame it on me! The bride!! She said, "Oh, I'm sorry... The bride should have told you what to do." I didn't realize it was my responsibility to plan the ceremony/reception for the wedding planner on my wedding day. I felt like this was completely unprofessional. Who knows...maybe she was having a bad day, but we paid a lot of money for her to have a bad day. I found all of this out after returning from my honeymoon. No one wanted to say anything to me that day because they didn't want me to worry, but, unfortunately it stressed everyone else out which was what I was trying to avoid by hiring her. Overall, everyone told us that the wedding was perfect except for our wedding planner, the one person who should be responsible for ensuring everything does go smoothly, is organized, and stress free. Thank goodness for amazing, creative family and friends! If we didn't have them, I don't know how our wedding would have turned out.
