Michelle is more than a planner.

There quite literally aren't enough words to describe how wonderful Michelle is. After our engagement, we knew we needed a planner. We looked around, and saw that one of my friends had used Michelle's services for her own wedding years ago. From the start, we were hooked on her work.

Over the last two years, Michelle gone from "wedding planner" to "family friend." Look, I'm sure a lot of people feel that way about their planner. I'm sure a lot of planners form bonds with their clients. We truly feel that the roots of our bond with Michelle extend far beyond simple "business partners." She went above and beyond to make us feel at ease with wedding planning. Organized, efficient, communicative, loving...the list goes on and on and on.

So when I looked to Michelle on our wedding day, and even up until the very last second of our celebration as we drove away from her, I felt choked up. We didn't want this to be "it."

The fact of the matter is that we love Michelle, and we can't put into words how much we appreciate her friendship and guidance over the last two years. She made our day possible, and she'll go to the ends of the earth to do the same for you.

Couldn't have done it without Michelle

I don’t know how many good things about Michelle I can fit into one review but I’ll try! Michelle helped us plan our March wedding and it is not an exaggeration to say that our day wouldn’t have been as wonderful as it was if it weren’t for Michelle! She’s extremely organized, kind and professional! She connected us to our amazing vendor team. We had a dozen little fires to put out the week of the wedding and she handled them with so much grace! I think most importantly, she understood our vision for how we wanted the day to look. I think what attracted me to working with Michelle is that all the aesthetics of the weddings she works on are all very unique! She truly went above and beyond for my husband and I and I am so grateful for her hard work, patience, resolve, and kindness!

Maep is amazing. Best decision

I could talk for hours about Michelle and her team! This past October my now husband and I had the opportunity to work with her for our Chrysler Museum Wedding. We all know how stressful wedding planning can be and throw in moving across country not once but 3 times, Michelle was a life savior. She has an amazing list of vendors and was so easy to get in touch with whenever I had a question or just needed someone to remind me to slow things down and get off pinterest. Planning felt like breeze with her professionalism and organization. Day-of Michelle was AMAZING! As a couple we genuinely felt taken care. Michelle and I were able to share a sweet moment as she was ushering me over to my parents to walk down the aisle, it's honestly a moment I'll remember because I could feel how genuinely happy she was for me and with all the planning her and I did together. It really speaks volumes for how much Michelle cares about her clients. During our reception she never let any stress come our way, constantly checking up on us, making sure we were fed and really helping everything move smoothly making sure we kept with our timeline. We were able to have the dreamiest day because of Michelle and her team and I cannot even begin to thank them enough for all they did.

If we were treated like that as fellow vendors, just imagine how she treats her couples!
