Misti is the best wedding planner I've seen. She stayed so calm against the odds the first time we worked one of her weddings, and seeing her keeping her cool helped everyone involved. She puts the success of the wedding above all for the day and does so in a manner that makes everyone involved happy to be a part of it. She is pleasant to all of the other vendors and makes sure they all work together for the best possible outcome. I would work every one of her events if I could!
I cannot begin to express how amazing Misti Sims and her team are at making dream weddings come true! If you want to have a stress free wedding day make sure to book with Little Black Dress Events!
Little Black Dress Events is nothing short of amazing. I personally used Misti as my wedding planner & she went over an beyond to make sure every single detail was perfect. I highly recommend her to every bride whether you need full service planning or just day of....she is a miracle worker.
