Everything But The Ring

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, look no further, Chelsea is the best!

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 enough how much I enjoyed working with her and would absolutely suggest other brides hire her!!

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. Definitely hire a planner, and most importantly, hire Chelsea!

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 dont 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 that I could follow a wedding how to book to orchestrate this wedding by myself. I was quickly becoming overwhelmed with all the steps, deadlines, rules, and proper etiquette. Its so easy to get caught up in monitoring every single detail and I was struggling to enjoy the little moments. We needed help! I can honestly say, without a doubt, I was able to relax and let Chelsea take control. She is extremely professional, and patient, and organized. This is a big one for me organization! Every detail she handled to perfection. Every road bump along the way she managed to smooth, probably many without me even knowing about them. She made my job, as Mother of the Bride, so much easier. I was able to relax and enjoy my daughters wedding. Chelsea prides herself in making this her mission and reminded me several times that this was her job and I needed to let go. Best advice ever! I realized I was going to miss the special moments along the way because I was busy agonizing over the details. This was only one day in a lifetime of happiness, but its an important one, so make sure you love every minute of it. Let go and let Everything but the Ring be in control for you. Best wedding ever and we are so grateful and thankful to Chelsea for her hard work. Shes like Mary Poppins for weddings, practically perfect in every way.

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 so many tricky rules and event managers that were not always easy to communicate with. Chelsea was always patient and understanding with the venue, and was also able to ask the right questions and negotiate for our needs. She worked with the venue to find storage space and create a timeline for the load in and load out of all of our rented items - things about wedding planning that are not fun and no bride wants to do! To me, it seemed like she did the impossible and jumped through hoops in order to make our reception happen perfectly. Chelsea is probably the most organized person I've ever met and is great at returning emails or phone calls very quickly. I had a very specific look in mind for my wedding and she was really good at understanding me and helping everything look just like I pictured. Also, she's just such a nice person and my mom and I are both happy to have gotten to know her! Overall, she was better than we ever imagined, and we could not have done it without her!
