"Paula was our guardian angel during the craziness of planning a pandemic wedding,
and she delivered a wedding that went beyond our wildest dreams. She was so professional and organized, and she guided us every step of the way.
From the moment we signed her, she helped us navigate the realities of planning during an incredibly busy wedding season. She helped us book all key vendors in just two weeks after our first conversation, which was so crucial since we were just 6 months from the wedding date and everything was getting booked quickly. She handled key vendor communications and got everyone to show up on time and do their part. She nudged us to get a contingency rain tent, which came in handy when it started raining during our ceremony! Most importantly, she kept everyone calm on day of and reminded us to take in
​the key moments, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Paula's design services were also stunning -- we got lots of compliments about the wedding invitation calligraphy, the signage around the wedding, and place cards. Paula was just such a joy to work with, and I'd highly recommend her for any event.
—Arib Patel [Groom]

"As venue owners, working with Paula is a dream.
Paula is incredibly organized, has beautiful taste and instincts, and puts an incredible amount of care and attention into providing the most special experience for her couples. We have seen her pull off true miracles due to her relationship with vendors (i.e. a tent delivery and setup within hours of the ceremony…not sure how she got that done!). She has a stellar team working with her and is a calm and decisive problem-solver. She thinks of details that can really make a difference in the experience for the bride and groom on their special day. We love working with Paula and highly recommend her for couples who are looking for really buttoned up planning."
—Pamela Carden [Venue Owner]
