"Paula truly saved the day!
We had a small wedding (35 people) in September, at a small, luxury hotel (Troutbeck) upstate. Given the size, and that the hotel had in-house food and service, and its own event planners on staff, we thought didn't need a planner of our own. We could not have been more wrong! By 2 weeks before the date, we were beyond stressed at realizing how many little things still needed to be decided, and getting really frustrated at how the venue was communicating. We reached out to Paula, and she graciously agreed to swoop in at the last minute and figure things out. Within a few days she had already visited the venue and gently clarified things there, and been in touch with all the vendors and started working things through. We were in total decision fatigue and she helped us make all the choices, plus troubleshooted and foolproofed things we hadn't known to think of, and suggested alternatives that hadn't occurred to us for, for instance, finding a far nicer location for the cocktail hour on property. She was a huge stress reliever on day of wedding as well, making sure everyone was on time for the ceremony and getting family members wrangled and dealing with logistical hiccups. Just one example: as soon as the hair and makeup team arrived and started running hair dryers and such...a fuse blew. Paula—rather than the bride or groom!—was the one who hunted down hotel staff and handyman and had it taken care of. And after the ceremony, she made sure we were relaxing for a few minutes in our suite (with drinks and plate full of appetizers), while she was making sure cocktail hour got up and running. By far the best money we spent on our wedding and totally worth the modest extra cost , because ultimately, we were truly able to actually enjoy the day thanks to her!"
