We are so happy with our decision to work with Bweddings for our wedding! Barbara is an absolute gem! She was able to handle so many tasks for us and always kept a positive attitude. She frequently checked-in and offered to help with other tasks as well. This is so important for someone like me because I have a hard time asking for help and hate burdening people. She is able to deliver her opinion in a professional and polite manner without ever being pushy. She is organized and was always guiding us along. She is amazing at what she does! We felt very well taken care of the day of our wedding by the Bweddings team.
We absolutely loved working with Barbara and will miss her!!
Barbara was on top of everything from the moment she arrived - she helped me (the groom) with any last minute expected problems or even just my lack of preparedness, and most importantly kept the bride totally relaxed and totally unexposed to any stress or issues at all.
Our day came together perfectly and it absolutely would not have without Barbara - thank you!!!
My wife and I agree -- working with Barbara and the Bweddings team was the best decision we made for our wedding.
Barbara was communicative in the weeks leading up to the wedding to understand exactly what our vision was, provided helpful suggestions for tweaking things, and then on the day of took care of the operations so we could focus elsewhere. She went above and beyond to accommodate all of our asks, even some that I imagine aren't standard but whose little details made our wedding uniquely ours. We particularly appreciated that due to some special circumstances (including us living in a different state than where Barbara and the wedding were) there were some things we couldn't plan for and would have to make calls on the day of. Barbara made decisions about the details on the day of, incorporating our vision without needing to ask us for guidance (we were busy with lots of other things!) and it's this sort of initiative that sets Bweddings apart from the rest.
Thank you again -- we're very grateful!
Barbara did a phenomenal job planning our wedding and was extremely valuable to me on the day.
I don't know what I would have done without her. First and foremost, Barbara found us our perfect wedding venue Armour House in Lake Forest, IL. She did extensive research and found us the perfect place that suited both of our British backgrounds; it was the perfect stately home setting with picturesque gardens. Barbara came with us to view the venue and helped negotiate a great price that was well within our budget. Leading up the wedding, Barbara helped me pick out my color theme, florist, invitations and was extremely helpful in putting our wedding website together. On the wedding day itself, Barbara was amazing. She was on top of everything and made sure the day went to plan. In addition to her main duties, Barbara helped with the table planning, reception room decor, photos (taking quite a few good photos earlier in the day as our photographer was late) and many many other elements. Barbara was a life saver on many occasions even performing a quick fix to my dress before the 1st dance (thanks Barbara!).
Overall we were extremely satisfied with the planning service and professionalism that Barbara provided and would not hesitate to recommend her to any couple getting married.
Barbara was amazing.
She was patient, kind, helpful, friendly and professional. She had a keen eye for the decor and as well as all other details. She has excellent taste. She was able to quickly readjust things the day of when anything went wrong all with great success and a calm pleasant manner. She was the calm in the storm of everyone’s little panics and anxieties. She saw to it that things ran smoothly from the background leaving us free to enjoy the day.
I would highly recommend her for any event planning or day off services.
My partner and I met with several planners during the wedding planning process. Hands down, Barbara was our top choice among them.
She came highly recommended from another vendor, and she has had vast experience in the field. In 2019, we hired her as our day-of-coordinator. Since then, she has been such an asset in working with our wedding vendors. Our vendors ranged in their experience working in the wedding industry. Some of our vendors required more hands-on support, which she provided. We had our original wedding scheduled for April 2020. As you can imagine with the pandemic, our plans were upended 4 weeks before the wedding date. Our wedding has been rescheduled 3 times now, and Barbara has been a phenomenal lifeline for my partner and me. She's been an advocate working with our venue, which hasn't been the most flexible in rescheduling. She has ensured that our vendors have our contracts rewritten for each postponement. She is a detail-orientated, communicative, and flexible planner.
We are so excited to continue working with her for our final rescheduled wedding in January 2022.
Words can't explain how amazing the day went with the help of Barbara.
She made sure that everything went smoothly and was even willing to go the extra mile for our needs. I highly recommend Barbara and her team for any services anyone would need for their wedding. Thanks Barbara!
We love you!
I used Barbara for my past October Wedding and upon meeting her I was taken away by her professionalism, she was nothing like all the other planners I had met prior.
Barbara was paramount in putting together the event. I would not hesitate to recommend Barbara and Bweddings for your Wedding. She is very professional, but also extremely personable. She made the last few weeks leading up to the wedding as stress free as it could have been.
Do yourself a favour and book Barbara for your event planning!
Barbara was a joy to work with.
During a pandemic, in the dead of winter in Wisconsin, she created an event filled with warmth and style. The day went off without a hitch and Barbara was never without a smile for anyone that needed anything. We are so excited for this couple. They had quite a journey to get to their wedding, and now they have amazing memories to look back on.
Barbara's artistry and hard work will be appreciated for years to come.
Barbara is amazing!! She is very organized, always available when needed, and flexible/supportive to make every couple's vision real!
She is so friendly and really a pleasure to work with. She always keeps us on our projected planning timeline. We never lose track of payment plans or have trouble with contracts because Barbara is always there to offer advice and has organized this for us. She wears many hats as she is even creating and providing our backdrop for us to meet our wedding vision.
Highly highly highly recommend Bweddings for all your planning needs!
