Bonnie made our wedding day look like it came from the pages of Brides magazine! We first met with Bonnie in her immaculate, store, where she made us feel like honored guests. From the very beginning, her graciousness and professionalism made us feel like we were in very capable hands. To be honest, I felt like an imposter at first. I was sure that someone like Bonnie would be WAY out of our price range, so I was thrilled when it came time to talk about our budget and she was more than happy to work with us! In fact, when we started to get some grandiose ideas during the "planning stages", Bonnie gently brought us back to earth and gave us some ideas on how we could stretch our wedding day dollars to accommodate our new dreams! A wedding vendor who wants to save YOU money? Unheard of and above and beyond what we could have asked for. The first thing that truly made me feel like a bride was when Bonnie arrived before our wedding to deliver our flowers. Im not the kind of bride who had her heart set on specific flowers, so I had given Bonnie and her florist some general color ideas and let them go to town. Actually, I dont know the difference between a Calla Lily and an Orchid, but when Bonnie showed up with her hands full of radiant pink bouquets; I immediately started jumping up and down like a first grader. Bonnie took care of details that we hadnt even thought of! Bonnie and her team are professional, energetic, and brimming with creative (and money-saving!) ideas. She made us feel like we could have a celebrity-style wedding, on a regular-people budget. She is one of those very rare wedding professionals who seems to read a brides mind perfectly....thank goodness we had Bonnie to make our dream wedding a reality! Jessica – West Des Moines, IA

Huge thank you to Bonnie and her team for making it all happen for us. Not only is Bonnie incredibly organized, but she really took the time to get to know us and our style. She made fantastic suggestions when she felt they were welcome or especially important, but never tried to force anything on us or talk us into something we weren’t comfortable with. I can’t begin to explain how great it felt to trust her 100% and know that everything was under control on our wedding day. Every aspect was taken care of, down to the smallest detail, and my husband and I never once worried about a single thing. She glued my sister/maid of honor’s eyelashes back on when they started to peel off after the ceremony, she brought me an assortment of granola bars when she overheard me whisper to my husband-to-be that I was hungry during family photos, she brought all of our gorgeous flowers and candles up to the hotel room after the reception so that we’d have a beautiful room to come back to…and I know that as soon as we get all the photographs back, we’ll see detail after detail that we missed that day and be so grateful for! Because of her, we were able to truly relax and enjoy a beautiful day with the people we love most. Thank you again, Bonnie ---we’ll let you know when it’s time to throw a wow renewal party!

I cannot say enough great things about this fabulous company. Bonnie and her team were truly exceptional. They truly helped us create our dream wedding. I remember walking into our reception on the big day and my eyes filled with tears. I was blown away by all of the little deatils and touches that Perfect Events brought to life. It was better than I could possibly have imagined. Throughout the planning process the Perfect Events team was on top of everything. They are open-minded, creative, organized, highly knowledgeable in their field, and one-hundred percent reliable. They have the remarkable ability of guiding you every step of the way, offering suggestions and ideas, while always leaving the final decisions up to you. Their only agenda is to help you create the wedding of your dreams. The actual weekend of the wedding went by as smooth as silk, with not one bump in the road. My husband and I were able to relax and soak up all of the love. All of my friends and family have told me repeatedly that it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and that the little details were truly what made it so unique and special. I will be forever grateful to Bonnie and her team for all their excellent services.

I can tell you that I planned my first wedding and cried the entire day! I had no idea how I was going to get the food together, the decorations up in the church, the reception hall decorated and tables set and covers done and me have time to get ready.... and oh my god! Luckily my path crossed with Bonnie just a few years ago...so when I went looking for a wedding planner and came across her name...I was like YEAH! I can tell you from moment one she was on my side. I told her I didnt want to do anything the day of my wedding but enjoy it...and that is exactly what I did. I had no worries, no issues, no nothing the day of my wedding. If something came up, Bonnie picked up her phone and took care of it. She has so many contacts from her years of networking its crazy! She listened to me when we talked about my ideas for my wedding what I wanted and didnt want and she made it work.. My husband and I were absolutely astounded by the work that she put in to make our day the best it could be. People think using a planner is crazy and expensive, let me tell you, she was worth much more than she charged and allowed me to enjoy my day with no worries. I love you Bonnie!

We used Bonnie of Perfect Events for my sons wedding, which we were completely responsible for planning. We only had 4 months notice and by the time we found Bonnie, we were only 2 months before the wedding date. To her enormous credit, she didnt seem fazed by that at all. We had already hired a caterer and a photographer, but were having trouble with some of the other details for our backyard outdoor wedding and plan for a reception to be held in a tent in our yard. The tent people wouldnt call us back, but after Bonnie got involved, I got a call within 10 minutes. She arranged for the podium, wireless mice, risers, thought of all the little details. If I emailed or called with a question, she was immediately receptive. Having her there on the day of the wedding was invaluable. Most importantly, she let our wedding be our wedding and supported that, and we went off the conventional path quite a bit. We had many comments from our family and guests that this was the nicest wedding theyve ever been to. Thank you, Bonnie:)

Courtney - Apr 8, 2011 Our wedding planner really stepped up to the plate to help plan every detail of the wedding in March, my husband ditched out and it was so comforting that I could leverage such a wonderful person to help with every detail. All of our guests commented that our wedding really outshined others they had been to recently and I couldnt have been more proud. The planner from Perfect Events was in constant contact with me making sure my expectations were being met and was a savior at the last minute when the DJ I hired (because they were a family friend) ended up getting sick. Perfect Events had a fill-in person we were able to leverage and having that network of connections was so key to avoiding a disaster. I didnt know what to expect from a wedding planner after seeing J. Lo in action in the movie but our person was like J. Lo without the headset! Im referring all my friends to our specific planner Bonnie from this company. Courtney S
