My parents, my husband and I hired Weddings by Nancy for our wedding in Sept of 2012. At first, I wasnt even sure we needed a wedding planner, but after picking an outdoor site for both the ceremony and the reception we decided that a planner might indeed be necessary. Most of our planning was done with Jill, and though their name is Weddings by Nancy, I want to make sure to point out that if you end up working with Jill you will in no way feel that you are not getting top notch service. I loved working with Jill. One of the things I love about both Nancy and Jill is how calm they are, they will greet you with a smile and a hug and I never saw either of them ruffled, even by my frequent changes or indecisiveness. I was nervous that by working with a wedding planner that somehow I would feel like all my inspiration that I found and wanted to implement would be changed or somehow feel less "mine", but Jill really helped me feel like we were planning this together and allowed my ideas to shine through. That being said, if you are completely lost on what you would like for your wedding they would be a blessing too. One of the things they do really well is providing you a few ideas at a time as to not overwhelm or confuse you. Weddings by Nancy also designed our wedding invites and escort cards. We received countless compliments on them. They were fantastic. Outside of the execution of decor, I found the assistance of a wedding planner to be particularly helpful during the catering meetings. Making a custom menu was much easier with a planner helping guide the conversations. It was also helpful to have a planner along at the florist meeting to make sure we covered each arrangement needed. Having a wedding planner was essential for our outdoor location because I wasnt aware of the little extras we might need, for example, a generator, a tent for the caterer, or insurance for the bar. Weddings by Nancy also helped us organize shuttles for our guests which would not have been possible without their help. The knowledge and expertise of Jill and Nancy in these areas was invaluable. If you are a detailed budget person you will appreciate the budget that is given to you right away and updated regularly by Weddings by Nancy. I have often heard people complain they went way over budget, in the end, we did go over budget, but it wasnt because of Weddings by Nancy, they always offered solutions to keep us on budget, we just chose to keep all the flowers, or serve champagne, etc. On the day of the wedding was when it became 100% obvious that there was no way that the wedding of my dreams could have been executed without Weddings By Nancy. I was beyond pleased with all of the decor. As I mentioned earlier, I was nervous that somehow I would feel that it wasnt my ideas, but that wasnt the case at all. In the end, I felt like it was my ideas, their suggestions and expertise, and a whole lot of Jill and Nancys sweat and hard work that made the day perfect. The wedding of our dreams was put to life. On the day of the wedding I was able to wake up and just worry about getting ready, there was no setting of the room, or decorating to be done on my part, all I had to do was show up. Weddings by Nancy on the other hand was there from 6 am until well after the last bus left. All in all, I think anyone would be lucky to have Jill or Nancy assisting them with their wedding.

Weddings By Nancy was the BEST investment I made in my wedding! If you are thinking of hiring a wedding planner, do it and hire Weddings By Nancy. I am a busy business owner and was feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of the detail that goes into planning a wedding. It was also important to me that my friends and family did not have to work on my special day. Nancy is a very warm person and made me feel like my event was her only event. My wedding was very small and intimate but she took care that everything was just as special as any large wedding. Sadly, my parent were unable to attend my wedding. Nancy made the disappointment of this so much better. She did everything that a mother would do with her daughter during the planning process and on my wedding day. I felt as though I was her family. She was very accommodating to my availability for meetings, sometimes working late nights and weekends just to work with my schedule. She was also quick to answer my email and phone calls. She was professional in every way! Even under last minute changes that threatened to damper my wedding day, Nancy remained calm and offered satisfying solutions to any problems - truly going out of her way! Nancy and her service is absolutely priceless! I cant put a price tag on it! Truly, the BEST investment I made in my wedding! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
