The wedding business is a WHOLE world that I wasn’t familiar with before I got engaged. Lucky for me, I found a DREAM planner in Summer who knows this world better than anyone! It really was a true pleasure to have her by my side during this process — and, surprise, it was FUN! Very little stress. Any good planner will keep you on track with budget and timing, but a great planner like Summer will constantly bring forward solutions and alternative options to make sure your day is the happiest one ever. Vendors love her, trust her, and bend over backwards for her, which is also a testament how wonderful she is (but also a great benefit for Summer’s clients as well!) She knows how to reign you in (if you need it, like I did) while always making you feel like there’s an even better solution around the corner. I mean, we can’t all have hand painted Moroccan style dance floors but a sleek black worked just as well! My wedding day was ABSOLUTE perfection and that’s largely in part to Summer. From start to finish, I felt supported, heard and like I had a partner in crime. If you got this far in the review and you’re still intrigued, please reach out and have a conversation with her. You wont be sorry! And you may walk away with a new friend :) Thanks for everything, Summer!!

“Summer is absolutely the BEST! She went way above and beyond to make everything more perfect than I could ever imagine! Summer was always there for me and she made the entire wedding planning and the wedding stress free!!! After the wedding, our guests and my mother in law couldn't stop talking about what an organized and gorgeous wedding that Summer planned and they were really impressed by her professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the planning process, I was really impressed by her knowledge, reputation and connection with a wide variety of vendors! Most importantly everyone has worked with her just loves her. I don't think I can ever say enough about what a great planner Summer is! We were so lucky to have Summer plan our wedding. She made our day perfect!!!”

What can we say? From the moment we spoke with Summer, we felt instantly good with her. She is very calm, extremely organized, and had a way of understanding our vision to the point that she knew our style more than even we did. Every idea she passed our way based on our discussion was an instant hit. Summer also kept within resources and helped us think outside the box to achieve what we wanted. She has relationships with other vendors that we would have never found on our own (or it would have taken a long time to find them) and everyone in her camp was great to work with. Summer has a way of making people comfortable and in the end we feel like we gained a friend. Weddings can be stressful with all the ideas you see on Pinterest, blogs, etc. and one could quickly feel like they won’t have a nice wedding. I never felt that way though..we were able to have everything we envisioned! Summer is very professional and our wedding day went off without issue. She even sent us to our hotel room with items from our dessert bar which was so much fun to enjoy the next day! Also, she kept us on our timeline, and helped us think of things we normally wouldn’t on our own (tips to the vendors, signage needed, timeline norms, budget estimates - which were very accurate!). We are so pleased with Summer’s work AND the value, combined with her humility and kindness, outweighed anyone else we could have hired. So grateful!
