I knew that I wanted to have a month of wedding coordinator before we were even engaged. I am a fairly organized and controlling personality, but I do not enjoy executing my plans. Chelsea was amazing to work with. She guided us, while always keeping OUR vision in mind, and provided support as needed. She was so helpful with recommending vendors within our budget, which took so much stress off of me. She made the wedding planning process fun and enjoyable!! When I began to feel stressed, I would reach out to her and she would immediately calm any concerns that I had. If you're looking for a planner

Chelsea was absolutely fantastic! (And this is coming from a Type A, project manager by trade so my standards are HIGH) She was very organized, timely and on top of everything. She met with us multiple times ahead of our day, was patient with all of our questions and worked with us diligently on any concerns. She made sure nothing fell through the cracks and most importantly she allowed us to really relax and enjoy our day; we had no worries on our wedding day knowing Chelsea was in charge. She made sure every detail was just as I'd wanted it to be and that everything ran smoothly. I can't say

Hands down best wedding planner ever! Our first meeting with Chelsea definitely showed her caring side and how much she loves helping her brides. During our planning process (like everyone else’s) there’s ups and downs. I will always remember when it was a few weeks before my wedding I had a bridesmaid drop out my party. Long story short with the wedding so close I am already stressed and with this incident I was even more stressed. Chelsea came to my work and grabbed coffee with me to make sure I knew IT WILL BE OKAY! Chelsea was not only great at calming down but through her experiences she

From the first moment I met Chelsea I knew - I knew she was the perfect match for us! I am, admittedly, over the top when it comes to control. I have to do it myself, because I just don’t trust anyone to do it as good as me. I think even at some point along the way Chelsea made a comment about how I was the most “hands on” Mother of the Bride she had ever worked with. During the final months of preparation my daughter graduated from college, moved to a new city, and was in a very serious car accident. I was full in on helping her plan her entire wedding and was completely fooled by the idea

Chelsea was a complete lifesaver and absolutely amazing to work with! I am an anxious, type-A person by nature, and in addition to her being so well organized and detail-oriented, I think one of her most valuable contributions was talking me off the ledge on numerous occasions. She was very accessible, and didn't blink an eye at my insomnia-induced 5:30 AM texts about flower arrangements. Planning can get absolutely crazy, and she was there to let me know that everything was going to be OK - and it was! We had a beautiful, romantic wedding that ran like clockwork, and I wouldn't change a thing

I first had the privilege of meeting Chelsea at David Tutera's Your Wedding Experience. She was wearing a beautiful black ball gown and was actively approaching people which gave me a great first impression of her. I could right away tell how passionate and hard-working she was so I definitely wanted to meet with her to see if I wanted her to be our wedding planner.
Originally, we did not feel we did not need a planner but our first meeting with Chelsea sold us to her services. At our first meeting, she presented us with a folder detailing her services as well as a binder of a wedding that

We hired Chelsea about 6 months before our wedding because my fiance and I were living in a different state while my mom was in Houston to help plan our Houston wedding. It was definitely the best decision we made. She is knowledgeable and has built a great network within the wedding industry in town, so she helped us switch caterers when our first choice became unresponsive and she easily worked with Aztec to rent our tables/chairs/linens/china.
Most impressively, she did an amazing job working with our tough reception venue. We had our reception at the Julia Ideson Library building which had

We decided to get married and have a Destination Caribbean Wedding in Cancun, Mexico.
We began to take on this venture by ourselves and let me tell you, that was our first mistake. With the excitement of everything, we found it overwhelming and we lacked so much knowledge with what would become involved.
After much frustration, we approached Everything But The Ring. We are from Alberta, Canada and would be dealing with a foreign Country and language for this adventure. Chelsea, the owner of EBTR was our wedding planner and what followed was incredible. It didn’t matter what, type, country or

My daughter got engaged this past spring, and, although she and I have done quite a bit of entertaining and hospitality, I knew that a wedding planner was not optional, if we were going to enjoy the wedding. The engagement was 4-1/2 months long, and we invited over 400 people to the wedding, so it was not a small wedding, and obviously there was lots to do in a fairly short amount of time. Additionally, my daughter lives in Seattle, and would only be home for a couple of very brief visits, so that was also a challenge. Although I knew that we needed help with the wedding, I was not hopeful
