Dylie- I've been to and also worked my share of weddings as staff...and you are the best I've ever worked with. Thank you for your care, your professionalism, and love for the couple and their special day. I'll remeber you always! Thank you for being you and all that you do!"

"Hosting our wedding in Twentynine Palms, CA, was a leap of faith, and we were filled with nerves about the logistics of a destination wedding. The moment we met our coordinators, Dylie and Lauryn, our worries began to melt away. They approached the day with an incredible blend of quiet confidence and calming energy. As prepared as we thought we were, we were no match for the unexpected challenges that arose. Yet, Dylie and Lauryn proved to be prompt, flexible, and brilliant problem solvers. Because of their unwavering support, we were free to stop worrying and start living in the moment, making our wedding truly unforgettable. We have no regrets, and we attribute so much of that to their wonderful guidance."

"When we began planning our wedding, we knew that dragging 140 guests to the middle of the desert (literally to Nxwhere, California) would be a logistical challenge so choosing a wedding planner who we could trust was incredibly important. We met Dylie about 5 months before our wedding, and by that point, we were feeling quite lost. However, after the first call with her, we immediately felt better. Dylie and Lauryn, who joined the team a few weeks later, show an impressive level of professionalism and dedication to their craft that allows wedding planning to be fun, rather than stressful. Throughout the next several months, both maintained constant contact with us, responding to our needs in a timely manner and always with enthusiasm. During our meetings, they often reminded us of logistics that we had not yet considered (e.g. how guests would be seated for ceremony, where trashes would be set up), gently pushed us away from some of our worse ideas (e.g. having a couple guests serve hors d'oeuvres), allowed for flexibility on some of our unorthodox ideas (e.g. placing mother-son dances before the first dance), and provided insight that led to some of our favorite wedding moments (e.g. using an audio guest book, having a late night ramen bar).

Most importantly, both approached the whole process with love and reassurance. We left every interaction more excited for our wedding than before.

On the day of the wedding, Dylie and Lauryn were organized, composed, and in charge. Our location in the middle of the desert caused several of our vendors to be late. Though I'm sure this caused stress, neither showed a bit of worry. From a guest's perspective, everything went smoothly. No one could have known that behind the scenes, Dylie and Lauryn were tweaking schedules and making snap decisions to keep it that way. Additionally, both took on extra roles beyond wedding planners. Lauryn designed all of our stationary, while Dylie served as a second professional photographer. Lauryn even prepared hours d'oeuvres and both became chauffeurs for our guests at the end of the night.

We could not be more thankful for the effort and care Dylie and Lauryn put into our wedding. We will cherish the weekend forever and it all came together because of them."

"DYLIE SAVED MY WEDDING DAY! Dylie and I actually crossed paths ONE WEEK before my wedding! I had originally hired a different wedding planner to work with and I had a subpar experience to say the least. One week before my wedding, my original wedding planner told me that she was NOT going to coordinate my wedding day. Dylie then stepped in and immediately took charge, which was the BEST thing that could’ve ever happened! After our first meeting together, I felt so much relief and I knew we were in good hands! Dylie is a great listener, is attentive to detail, & is a GREAT communicator! She went straight to work with reviewing our timeline, communicating with our vendors, and ensuring that all of the little details were finalized before wedding day. Not to mention that she kept me in the loop as tasks were getting done, which was my preferred style of communication. She definitely put my nerves at ease and my husband and I felt so much relief knowing that Dylie took charge with coordinating our wedding. Day of, Dylie came on time and prepared! Broken bustle? Safety pins on deck. Unexpected rain sprinkles? Dylie and her team had cute aesthetic umbrellas for us to use and it was SUCH a life saver! Plus the rain photos came out incredible! Dylie and her team pivoted so quickly with the rain to ensure that all of our decor was protected and dry, which we greatly appreciated! Our wedding day was everything that we imagined and more and we are so thankful that we had Dylie to assist with making it all happen. Dylie is truly a gem in the wedding industry and I wish that I booked directly through her to begin with! Overall, we give Dylie a 10/10 and we would definitely recommend her services!"

To you Thomas and Anstine. Thank you! You turned my long-awaited wedding into a beautiful story I'll treasure forever."

"I'll start by saying, this wonderful team made our wedding! The most incredible amazing day of our life, not only were they attentive to everyone in need during the process of creating such a beautiful event, I truly couldn't have asked for a better team. They were both in eyesight the entire start to finish and words can't describe how much I would recommend to everybody else. Since day one of contact, Dylie was the most uplifting professional, punctual, incredible human beings I have ever met. Definitely reccomend Thomas and Anstine for your coming event!"
