Stephanie Lairson makes miracles happen. From creating a setting that is personal and completely "you" to managing hard-to-handle relatives (even when they don't speak English), Stephanie is a dream.

When I began planning my wedding, I didn't have a clear picture in my head of what I wanted things to look like. I had some pictures from wedding magazines, favorite colors and a general idea of the atmosphere I wanted to create, but Stephanie took all of these little pieces and created my dream wedding. I am still not sure how she did it, but every little detail was perfect. The guests at my wedding still cannot stop talking about what an amazing event our wedding was.

Stephanie takes a great interest in each and every one of her clients. She takes the time to get to know each person involved in the planning of a wedding. This allows her to create an event that is completely tailored to each couple she works with.

I absolutely LOVED all of the vendors she referred me to. They all matched my personality, tastes and expectations. In fact, I still stay in touch with some of these people!

I truly believe that Stephanie was worth far more than what she charged to plan our wedding! Although we were particularly concerned with the budget for our wedding, hiring Stephanie actually SAVED us money in the long run.
She worked with us to stay within our budget AND create the dream wedding we wanted. Further, she managed to please not only me and my husband, but my mom, dad and mother-in-law!

The day of the wedding should have been chaotic. Stephanie was incredible about making sure I had space to get ready and time to revel in the experience. She was expert in handling difficult relatives without making them feel like they were being "handled" :) This made the day so much easier for me, my husband and my parents.

Once the wedding began, I realized that there was not one thing out of place. Stephanie had thought of everything! The ceremony and dinner were smooth sailing. Everything happened on schedule and all of the guests were happy. More importantly, my husband and I were happy and actually enjoyed the wedding!

I cannot speak highly enough about Stephanie. Without her, my dream wedding would not have come to life. She MADE my wedding. Stephanie is a brilliant coordinator! On top of that, she has a beautiful personality which makes her incredibly easy to work with. I feel very fortunate to have worked with her and look forward to working with her again when my little brother gets married :)
