If you want 1st class service in a wedding planner, look no further than Monique Wisdom of Wise Events and Design! Monique was the 1st person we hired. My fiancé and I had a lot on our plate, so we opted for her full planning service (HIGHLY recommend this option if possible). We found her through a personal recommendation from a wedding she did in Louisiana, THEN come to find out, my best friends brother who was getting married 2 weeks before us, had just hired her as well! I knew we mush have had the best of the best! And I was right! Monique was there every step of the way, from dress appointments/ suit appointments, cake tastings, venue searches... EVERYTHING! She didn't demand to go anywhere and was cool if there was space limits and she couldn't come. Her online portal was SOOOO helpful with keeping me on task from day 1 and was key in helping me to remembering what I needed to do, purchase, or inquire about. She has an extensive preferred vendor list, but if we wanted to look elsewhere, she looked into other options for me as well. She was prompt, timely and followed up with ALL vendors on our behalf! I was able to trust her with RSVP's, timelines, and pretty much everything. We just worked well together in general. She was also conscious of our budget. She let us know where we were being unrealistic, and where we were probably over budgeting. She really helped us execute our vision perfectly! Day of, she was the calm to my chaos. lol! We didn't have to worry about anything. I didn't find out about things that went wrong until after the wedding because she handled them on our behalf. She was intent on making sure we got EVERYTHING we asked for. She has a great team of assistants that helped day of. They kept of 400-person wedding flowing smoothly. Last minute, I was looking for cold sparks and dancing on a cloud and she was able to find one of her past clients who offered the service, was able to help me negotiate some things and get the service for us near our budget! She is worth every penny we paid and soooo much more! She was our first wedding investment and we definitely got top tier services!! I heard horror stories about brides and their planners, but Monique is AMAZING, even-tempered, and truly a friend throughout the whole process!! If I could give 10 stars, I would! Dorjan and I are soooo proud to be a WED Couple! WE LOVE YOU, Mo!
