Best Charming Wedding Planners In Indianapolis Near Me

Sandy Dahlberg: Jean is the best! We sought her help for planning our daughters wedding from two different States outside of Indianapolis (I was in one State, my daughter in another State). She thought of everything and recognized concerns while planning therefor avoiding problems on the special day making it absolutely perfect. She is patient, calm, understanding, and will go above and beyond to make anything you desire happen. I am 100% positive we could not have managed without her. Thank you for caring for your clients. Your compassion shows in your work!

Taylor Loy: Jean (owner) and the Blue Llama Events team is exactly who you want to hire to plan and coordinate your wedding! I started planning my wedding by myself for an out of state venue that didn’t have many included amenities. When it came to putting it all together, I felt lost. This is where Jean came in and saved the day (literally)! We hired her 3 months out for her coordinating services and wish we would have hired her from the beginning! She is beyond professional, knowledgeable, and resourceful. She coordinated with our vendors before our wedding, sorted out finishing details with me, ran our rehearsal, set up the day of the event, and handled every detail of the wedding. Because of Blue Llama Events, me, my husband, friends, and family were able to enjoy the wedding day knowing everything was taken care of.

Priya Abhyankar: I had a unique experience with Jean in that our wedding was scheduled for March 28, 2020 — right at the time of the first lockdown. We had already been planning for a year, but Jean quickly took the initiative in rescheduling with all vendors. We ended up rescheduling twice due to the pandemic and finally had our amazing reception on Feb 19, 2022 Through all the cancellations, vendor changes, and small detail changes, Jean was there to make sure everything went smoothly. Planning and replanning this for 3 years would not have been possible without her. The reception was magical and everything I wanted. I cannot recommend her services enough!

Allie Boyd: I wish I could give Jean and Blue Llama Events more than 5 stars - highly recommend! I went with the month-of option and Jean and her team not only were there to help with random questions and give suggestions before that month-of takeover but executed every detail better than I could have ever imagined. Jean and her team are the main reason my now-husband and I were able to relax and actually enjoy our wedding day and we are so incredibly thankful for their skill and professionalism. If anyone is on the fence as to whether to hire a coordinator - it is an absolute MUST and worth every penny, and Jean and Blue Llama Events are the best of the best.

Lily Renner: After the incredibly tough decision to postpone our wedding, we knew we needed help to plan our wedding and Jean was there every step of the way to ensure our wedding ran smoothly and according to plan. Immediately after we started working with Jean it felt like a weight was lifted off our shoulders as she put together a great itinerary and worked with all our vendors. On our wedding day, Jean and her team went above and beyond to make our day special- we couldn’t have done it without them! Rain came into play and her team picked up umbrellas for the bridal party and guests as well as making adjustments to ensure the rain didn’t rain on our parade! Thank you for everything, Jean and team! We cannot recommend Jean & Blue Llama Events enough for your next event =)

Sophie Cooney: Where to begin.. Jean and her team are one of a kind. We hired Jean right from the beginning and were always in contact with her for the 1.5 yrs of planning! She was the point of contact for our venders, set up meetings with them, and handled EVERYTHING the day of the wedding. I didn’t have to worry about anything but enjoying my wedding day, which is something not a lot of people get to do. Her team helped set up the decorations, take them down, and pack them into my families car. We had our dogs in our wedding and her team even brought treats to help distract them when needed. Yes hiring a wedding planner is an investment, but you will not go wrong with Blue Llama Events. 100% recommend to a friend.Thanks so much Jean!(:

Hilary Smith: Booking Blue Llama Events and working with Jean was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. She was worth every penny. I do not live in Indy, and I had to plan my entire wedding remotely. She was very responsive, always had excellent recommendations for venders, and helped me keep every detail organized. I know she had many other events to work on, but she always made me feel like my small event was a priority. I highly recommend working with Jean and her team from Blue Llama.

Sara Stevens: This team is AMAZING! I was about six months into wedding planning and feeling completely overwhelmed. I reached out and spoke with Jean Rivers who instantly made me feel at ease. She took the reigns for the following six months and coordinated/handled everything from several vendors, picking up all rental items, handling everything day of (controlling the crowd, getting me where I need to be in time, etc). I am so thankful for her and her awesome team! Brides... you must get a wedding planner ASAP!

Mackenzie Ferguson: Critical:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueJean rivers is a very nasty women. Very inconsiderate and cancels last minute. Would not recommend her to anyone. I was shocked at how unprofessional and immature she is. Would recommend that If anyone is looking to do business with her that they look else where.

felicia patel: Jean and her team are AMAZING! When I started wedding planning I thought I had it together but Jean literally came in and saved me when I didn’t know where to go or who to turn to! Her team is amazing with same day coordination even with crazy Indian weddings! I can’t thank Jean and her team enough!! They go above and beyond!

Taylor Watkins: I can't say enough positive things about Jean, Maddie and the rest of the team. I wish I could keep them on for my day to day life lol Jean really took the weight of wedding planning off my shoulders and was just generally nice to talk to. The help on the wedding day was invaluable. They took care of everything so I didn't have to and stayed the entire night to help with any clearing up after the party was over. It was so nice to have someone calm and in control to lean on. 10/10 would reccomend

Andrea VonFeldt: During a pandemic and all the ups and downs of wedding planning, this team knows how to make your dream wedding happen! Jean and her team have been there with me months in advance. They have answered every question quickly and have helped every bump in the road. My main thing was to not stress during our wedding day and that was what they did! Every little detail months before to the end of the night was perfect and I have a lot to thank because of them! If you’re ever thinking about needing a wedding planner? You DO! And I 100% would recommend them to everyone!

Alysa Villelli: Positive:Professionalism,ResponsivenessJean was truly wonderful to work with in planning my event! She knew great vendors and I even enjoyed just chatting with her. Could not recommend Blue Llama enough!

Diana Moss: We definitely made the right decision by working with Jean and Blue Llama Events for our wedding! Jean is creative, responsive, level headed, and strategic. Her coordinator, Katie, helped us on the day-of, and she kept our unusual event from becoming stressful.We had originally planned a December 2020 wedding, and like so many couples, the pandemic created too much uncertainty to move forward. In June, my fiance and I decided to elope in our backyard - with 20 days notice. Jean and her team stepped up without hesitating. She kept us on track, helped us think through these strange scenarios, and made the whole day so special and stress-free. We look forward to working with her on our post-pandemic party plan!

Edith Groen: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,Value

Michelle Poteet: Blue Llama events is amazing to work with! She takes care of everything for you, so you have absolutely ZERO stress during your wedding or event OR during the planning process. She's very professional and so good at what she does. I HIGHLY recomend her!

Sarah Bonn: Jean is awesome! I hired Blue Llama to set up / tear down decorations on my wedding day (think: centerpieces, memorial table, etc.) and also used some of their decorations including table numbers, a cake stand, and floating candles for my centerpieces. Jean put all of my centerpieces together beautifully, and even cut flowers and eucalyptus for the bud vases! It saved me so much money as I didn't need to hire a florist, but more than that it saved me from so much stress! Worth every penny.

Mallory Layton: Two words of advice for anyone planning a wedding: HIRE EMILY. If you’re choosing between wedding planners or skeptical about hiring one, definitely hire Emily! She has done both my sister and I's weddings and we are so thankful we had her knowledge, support, and attention to detail.Emily and her team go above and beyond to help and take care of all the details. She has amazing ideas and great connections with other vendors, so she will create an excellent team for your wedding. She not only has a plan A but also a plan B. On my wedding day, she took care of all the questions and we did not have to worry about anything! She is a DREAM and truly cares about her clients!Emily, thanks for creating the wedding of our dreams. Brayden and I are so happy you could be a part of our big day!

A J: Amazing wedding planner!! Emily made the process for me and my husband very smooth and was there for us every step of the way. I don’t think we would’ve made it through the process without both her and Elena. She has knowledge, tips and ideas for so many things. Couldn’t have chosen a better planner.

Taylor Wedding: We hired Emily for the Full Service Planning and Design package to assist with our wedding in April 2022.Right out the gate she was exceedingly professional, and quickly helped us get organized and setup a game plan.For almost a full calendar year, Emily was there for every decision and to answer any question that we might throw at her.She attended every vendor meeting with us and was always prepared, knowledgeable, and supportive. It was a huge relief to have her along!Emily really took the time to get to know us and understand what our vision for the wedding would be.We struggled with making some hard decisions, and Emily wasn't ever afraid to offer her unbiased opinion to help support what our vision was.Although some of our visions were a little less traditional, Emily had absolutely no issue helping us to incorporate it into our wedding.Emily always had a few suggestions on hand for vendors that she works with frequently and felt would fit with our aesthetic.We are delighted to report that EVERY SINGLE ONE was phenomenal to work with.Not only that, it was clear that our entire vendor team worked well together which made everything run even smoother.For our actual wedding day, Emily was there and ready to take the lead.It was reassuring that someone was in charge, and we didn't have to burden a friend, family member, or ourselves with that responsibility.The day before and the day of we even had multiple curve balls thrown at us, which we passed along to Emily, and she handled them spectacularly.We truly didn't have to worry about a single thing as the entire team handled everything behind the scenes.Our wedding day went off without a hitch - we attribute that mostly to Emily's demeanor and preparation going into it.Emily is very personable, friendly, and wants to get to know you as a couple in order to make your wedding dream come true.We believe this personal touch is what makes the experience with Emily truly unique and worthwhile!We can't suggest her services more to help make your wedding vision come to life!- Isaac and Lauren

Elisha Cain: Emily is excellent at her job! She's friendly and professional, detail-oriented and organized, prompt at replying to calls/texts/emails, and has great taste! I had a very intimate wedding and initially thought I would not need a planner, but so glad I got one because it alleviated a lot of potential stress. I had a vision of what I wanted my wedding to look like and she delivered! I'm so glad I worked with her and would recommend her 100%!

Taylor Eaton: I'll admit I was skeptical on hiring a wedding planner, but am so glad we did! Emily took the stress out of the wedding planning process and made it fun. I really appreciated her responsiveness and attention to detail. She went out of her way to ensure we had a wonderful wedding and I can't recommend her enough! If you are thinking of getting a wedding planner, hire Emily.

Marlene Fisher: Emily was AWESOME! She handled everything professionally and in a very timely manner. We had complete confidence in her. She was wonderful to work with and I would absolutely recommend her!

Molly Burr: Emily was a blessing during our wedding planning. My husband and I live in western Kentucky (closer to Bowling Green) but chose to get married in Louisville as it was more convenient for out-of-town guests. Because we don't live in Louisville, I didn't know where to start. Emily and her assistant Alyssa went above and beyond to make our day beautiful. The few hiccups we had, which weren't due to her planning, were easily resolved.I honestly don't know how couples plan a wedding without a wedding planner. I sent my ideas to Emily and she put together beautiful vision board which we worked from. The ease of planning was so simple as she would send me options for decor and what not and I would say "yes" or "no". The whole process couldn't have gone smoother, everyone was beyond impressed. Many guests said it was the MOST BEAUTIFUL wedding they'd ever been to. Emily sets the bar high!If you live in the Indianapolis or Louisville area, give Emily a call! We couldn't have been happier. Thank you!!!

Kelsey Kaiser: Emily and Alyssa were amazing to work with! Alyssa was our day-of coordindator. She was so easy to work with, listened to what our vision was, what we wanted, and made the entire wedding process from several months out to the day of so easy and seamless. I went to Emily and Alyssa for help specifically so that myself and my family did not have to stress over the little details on our wedding day. It was such a relaxing day where Alyssa handled everything from communicating with vendors weeks prior, finalizing details, executing all the details day of, and so much more behind the scenes that I didn't even see! She was so nice and never made my husband and I feel "bossed around" by, but truly wanted us to enjoy our day. She also helped provide vendor recommendations throughout the planning process and led me to the best vendor team I could have asked for! I would 1000% recommend using Emily Ventura Designs. With Emily and Alyssa you are gauranteed to have a stress-free, easy, relaxing, and enjoyable experience on your wedding day - as it should be!

Ahndia Mansoori: We cannot recommend Emily enough! She is such a calming presence throughout the entire planning process and on the day of. She is extremely kind, organized and has the best insight to help make your day go by without a hitch!We had a few situations that were difficult to navigate and Emily was quick to find solutions and always had a plan A, B and C. She has so many strengths and qualities that set her apart from others and demonstrated that she will always do right by her clients.Our wedding day would not have been possible without Emily and her team. Do yourself a favor and have Emily Ventura Designs help you plan your dream day! Thank you for everything Emily!

Krista Crabb: Emily and Alyssa were one of the best parts of our wedding! Emily took care of all of the little details that are such a big deal so we didn’t have to worry about them. She was always ready to answer any questions and was happy to give opinions when I really needed one. Not only did she help so much before and on the day of our wedding, but she helped us through postponing our wedding during Covid as well. With such a difficult decision that we were faced with, it was overwhelming to think of having to replan an entire new date with our vendors. She went above and beyond and communicated with all of our vendors to find a new date and ensured it’d still be exactly what we wanted. It also helps that she has very good taste and is literally a veil wizard! I would 10/10 recommend hiring Emily for your big day.

Chelsea Powers: If you haven’t hired Emily.. go ahead and do so! I would have been lost throughout wedding planning without her! I have the hardest time making decisions and I trusted Emily to help me make those tough decisions. She helped me and my fiance bring our wedding vision to life ! She knows the best vendors to work with and has the best fresh ideas. We were originally supposed to have our wedding in 2020 and she made moving our entire wedding seem so simple. She turned into a great friend and I’m so stinking thankful for her! Love her.

Madison Rothberger: Emily was the perfect wedding planner for our special day. She thought of every little detail and was extremely organized for every meeting and her communication was impeccable. I don't know what we would have done without her! She was an absolute angel especially on our wedding day. I can't recommend her enough!

Kristen Munoz: We cannot give enough praise to Emily at Emily Ventura Designs. Emily is an absolute gem and is someone that, after this process, we consider to be a friend. PIVOT, PIVOT, PIVOT is the wedding planning phase of the year, and Emily has not missed a beat. We originally hired Emily as a month-of coordinator for our 250 person wedding in Indianapolis in June 2020. Then COVID hit, and our wedding planning was turned upside down. From the moment that we started to discuss the idea of postponing, not only was Emily there to support any planning decisions, but she was also our support system. Through daily phone calls and text messages, Emily was there to talk things out, brainstorm ideas, and act as an ear for our vent sessions.At the beginning of the pandemic, everything was unpredictable. Not only was our planning on a roller coaster ride, so were our emotions. From communicating with our venue, to helping us lock down a new florist in less than a week, Emily was there to help us through the process. We had settled on postponing to mid-October, as we were optimistic for what the future had in store. Then we decided to PIVOT again, and made the decision to plan an elopement with our parents and siblings in 10 days, postponing the larger wedding to September 2021. From the moment we made this decision, Emily was instrumental in pulling off the planning on such short notice. We were back to our daily phone calls and texts, as Emily wanted to ensure that she would make anything that we wanted for that day to happen. She was flexible, supportive, and even helped secure last-minute catering and tent rentals.Emily is an absolute gem, and is the planner that you need by your side throughout your wedding planning journey. Not only is Emily professional, organized, detail-oriented, and thoughtful, but she has all the ideas to help make your day special for you, your partner, and your guests.

Anthony Liszewski: Emily and her support staff were superb from start to finish and were exemplary in all possible categories. I was referred to Emily from a friend, and after reviewing the contract, I could tell she and her business was very professional and well-priced to start. I was very underprepared and was getting married within a year when I started working with Emily. She remained patient, knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process. She provided great recommendations for vendors, site locations, and catering options. She continued to go above and beyond with punctual communication, check-ins, and [more than] several plan changes due to COVID-19 concerns. She and her staff were friendly throughout the entire experience yet professional and firm when upcoming decisions needed to be made. Emily had well-organized itineraries, planning meetings, as well as flexibility with vendors I self-hired for our special day.Emily was very accommodating for our non-traditional wedding, and everything went off without a hitch.I HIGHLY recommend using Emily and her business for your upcoming wedding. She and her staff are trustworthy, reliable, friendly, professional, fairly priced, and experienced. I have no criticisms of note to share of any kind, and I would put my entire trust and faith in her services again for anyone's wedding. It was a wonderful day I will never forget. Thank you, Emily and staff!

Rick Rainho: After I had to cancel my daughter's wedding in Massachusetts due to Covid, I decided to move it to Indianapolis. With only 2 weeks before my daughter's new wedding date, I hired Emily without having any vendors. I consulted with her to have it at Laurel Hall and it was a great decision to go with them as the venue was beautiful. Emily had found great vendors for me including a videographer, caterer, DJ, officiant, bakery for the cake, florist, and 2 different salons to do makeup and hair. She was professional and had given great ideas and took care of everything on the day of the wedding with the help of her assistant Megan. An absolute great value to have 2 people on the day of the wedding. It was amazing what she did for us in just 2 weeks and I can only imagine what she could do given more time. Great job and I would highly recommend Emily Ventura Designs to anyone planning a wedding or function.

Katie Hicks: Emily was the MVP of our wedding. I am in graduate school so I knew I wasn't going to have much time/energy to plan a wedding. I gave Emily my general ideas and she created the most beautiful wedding ever. She was 10 steps ahead of any problem that ever arose and was extremely sweet and professional in every situation. I cannot recommend her enough! She even packed special snacks for me for the wedding day because I have some allergies. All our bridal party loved her so much and called her "mom" throughout the wedding weekend. They have already claimed her for their future weddings. 10/10 recommend her, you will not regret choosing her!

Emily Layne: As local Indianapolis wedding photographers, we are so thrilled to have Emily in the Indy wedding industry. We recently worked with her on a gorgeous wedding that took place in the midst of the global pandemic. Emily's professionalism, talent, and personality set her apart in the best way. She pulled off such an incredible wedding for our clients, despite all the challenges, and they were beyond thrilled. Emily and her team worked so hard for the couple, their families, and guests. They were wonderful to work with from a vendor standpoint, as well. Such caring, fun, easy-going, and lively people.-James and Emily Layne of Ivan & Louise

Prov Sommers: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueEmily was a joy to work with and made everything from day 1 to the big day easy and enjoyable form family and me. She took the stress out of wedding planning and remained professional, calm, and extra organized!

Kristin McEvilly: Emily was fantastic to work with! I only hired Emily for her "Day Of" services but she treated us with so much more attention than I could have ever dreamed of. I would highly recommend Emily for your upcoming wedding!

Elizabeth Gorman: We hired Emily Ventura Designs for our wedding on November 9, 2019 and it was one of the best decisions we made!We met with Emily and her associate, Elena, a few times before the wedding at a local coffee shop. She and Elena were completely professional but also made it a fun process! They both have so much invaluable knowledge about the wedding industry and how to keep everything running smoothly. They took care of so many little things beforehand, which was super helpful - who knew how detailed wedding planning was?? (Emily did - that's why she's amazing at her job!)The day-of ran smoothly and it was so nice to have someone making sure everyone was where they needed to be, and everything was in its place. We didn't have to have a parent or someone else trying to keep things organized, all of our guests were free to enjoy the event. It was so helpful to have someone who already knew and communicated with our other vendors, and Elena kept everyone on the same page. They also helped make sure all of our gifts were in the car at the end of the night. I cannot tell you how helpful it was to have them there, our parents were also VERY grateful to have them at the helm!If you're looking for a wedding coordinator, I cannot recommend Emily and her team highly enough. Not only are they all wonderful at their job, they are wonderful people to be around, which made everything more enjoyable!

d828: I worked with Dean Black (DAB) for over 2 years on 2 surprise parties for my wife. It went that long due to Covid. They were to occur over Memorial Weekend 2020 but was postponed a year due to Covid.Dean is such a great source of experience and knowledge for whatever kind of party you might want to have his help with. I didn’t always agree with his recommendations but I came to respect and ultimately follow his lead on the many details of these 2 parties that included over 100 people in attendance.One of the key “saves” that Dean did was to respond aggressively and assertively when 4 days before the 1st event our caterer of 2 years pulled out! What terrible timing. Dean wasn’t flustered and he got me 3 bids with similar pricing within 24 hours. And this was for the start of a 3-day holiday weekend. I really surprised at how quickly and appropriately he got them. And the food was EXCELLENT!Dean doesn’t just plan things with you thankfully. On the 2 days of the 2 evenings’ events, he personally worked all day preparing them as well as he was actively involved supporting both events that night. His pleasant, smiling, personable persona was so welcomed and helpful. Weeks before the weekend of these events I became increasingly stressed and anxious with all the various details and loose ends of such events that need to be addressed as the dates get closer. He did a great job of “holding my hand” an helping to assuage my anxiety. I really couldn’t have asked for a better partner for these events. And they both went very well.One thing I didn’t expect from an event planner but which was very helpful and which he has tremendous ability is his creativeness and artistic skills. He came up with designs for invitations and websites that were very colorful, inviting and beautiful. These skills were a huge additional bonus. And he updated them the 2nd year and made them even more colorful and inviting.Obviously, I am so very happy that I engaged Dean and I will ask him to do my next big event!

P 6-One: Words cannot express my extreme satisfaction with the efforts of the "a little DAB'll do ya" team led by Dean Black. These folks literally took the vision I had for this celebration and brought it to life. Not only are they creative, innovative, budget-friendly, detail focused and attentive, they did it all in a very professional manner. Because of this team our event was a huge success and I even got to enjoy every minute without worry! I would highly recommend "a little DAB'll do you" as the planner for your next event!!!

Brenda & Joe Rust: We held our rehearsal dinner at Dean's place of employment. I literally handed over all the decorations for the evening to Dean as we scurried to the church. When we returned, we were stunned by the way he turned the room into something magical. He was kind, confident, friendly and professional. He saw to every little detail, right down to a groomsman's Birthday! I highly recommend "a little DAB'll do ya" for your next special event.

Mama Jo: I have had the privilege of knowing Dean A. Black for nearly 15 years. We had a professional relationship from 2006-2016. During this time, I have witnessed the outcome of the majority of the events he planned as well as the relationships he established with clients, including myself. Dean Black is not your average event planner. He is very creative, quickly learns your style, actively listens, professional, has an agenda, sets goals/deadlines and meets them. He has excellent communication skills. He lives for making your event extra special and one that you will remember the rest of your life! I nicknamed him "Deanterest" many years ago because he comes up with his own creative ideas in his mind and does not rely on Pinterest to plan or decorate a party. A little DAB'll do ya is very reasonably priced event planning, especially with a genuine gentleman behind the scenes who will bend over backwards to ensure you are completely satisfied.

Indy Now: Dean and his staff recently put on my Mom's 70th Birthday party and it was a big success! We had almost 80 people there, food was great, decorations were classy, the service beyond my expectations and the costs were reasonable. I would highly recommend a little dab'll do ya !

Patrick & Kortni Faris: Robin made all of our wedding dreams come true!! We hired her for florals and decor and she executed our vision PERFECTLY!! Robin has amazing attention to detail and cares for your wedding just as you do for your own. It’s hard to find a vendor that cares for you like that and she does!! I couldn’t recommend her more!!

Jenna Sharkey: We hired The Wedding Lady for our non-traditional wedding in August and I CANNOT say enough about how incredible she made our day! She did SO MUCH work during the planning process, kept us extremely organized, was super responsive (both email and text), and took SO much stress out of the process. She provided us with recommendations of all vendors, had local contacts for everything we needed (with discounted pricing!), completely understood our non-traditional vision, and her staff kept me (the bride) calm, organized, and excited during the planning process and on our wedding day. The Wedding Lady & her staff were the MVP of our wedding! :)We also hired Robin to do our flowers and DANG did she deliver! We requested wildflowers & plum sunflowers from local vendors and she went above & beyond with florals and decor. It was BETTER than the photos we showed her for inspiration!We recommended her to ALL of our friends. Two of our friends are getting married next March and hired her after they saw how amazing our day was! Cannot say enough about how amazing The Wedding Lady is!

E C: There are so many incredible things I could say about The Wedding Lady, organized, detail oriented, creative, professional, inspiring, and the most significant is loving! Living in Texas and planning a wedding in my hometown of Indy was a daunting task, but I found her through a google review and after our first phone call I knew she would be the perfect person for our special event. Robin and her crew handled every major and minor detail you could think of, and were prepared to conquer any problem to come. She had little so many surprises that really made the whole day so much fun to walk around and enjoy not only the wedding but the exhibit. So many out of town guests complimented such a beautiful and FUN wedding experience, I've even been told by friends, my wedding was better than theirs... That says a lot!!She can handle all your needs... Planning, coordinating, decorating, and flowers! She has so many connections around town that she's able to bring your ideas to life. We chose the Ultimate Package, which saved my sanity, I was truly able to just enjoy our wedding... We had no stress at all!We love Robin and her family, we consider them a part of our family as well. She was there with love, support, guidance and a shoulder to cry on when my mother died during the planning process. Which Robin made such incredible efforts in honoring my mother throughout the day, making sure we all knew my mom was there in spirit.We highly recommend The Wedding Lady, you will get more than a wedding planner, you will get a friend, a mother, an artist and a true professional.

Angela Bowling: Robbin was the wedding planner for our daughter’s wedding. I cannot praise her and her services enough. Every detail was executed perfectly and she made sure everything was beautiful on the day of the wedding. We did not have to do anything but enjoy the day. Robbin is professional and makes sure your day is special. She is such a loving and caring person and treats you like family. She was a blessing to our family.

Aaron Phillips: I’m a wedding videographer and I’ve worked with Robin on several occasions. She is hands down the best wedding coordinator I’ve ever worked with, and any bride would be lucky to have her services on her special day.

Ali Stark: Robin went above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we wanted and so much more. No one had to lift a finger the entire day as she and her staff took care of everything! We kept encountering little surprises from her all day and that just added to the magic of it all. She’s a one-stop shop! Planning, coordinating, decorating, and flowers (as an extra cost)! Her price for the package we bought was very reasonable especially considering that it included access and use of her entire decor inventory plus the hundreds of other services she provided. We loved working with Robin and getting to know her over the course of 7 months. She recommended some amazing vendors, took care of contacting them, listened to our vision for decor, created an incredible timeline for the day and ensure every single person involved had one and knew what to do, plus SO much more. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Ryan & Sydney: The Wedding Lady was one of the best decisions my husband and I made regarding our wedding. Robin and her staff were amazing and went above and beyond, so we could have an absolutely perfect wedding! We hired Robin 5 months before our wedding because we were looking for someone to be a day of coordinator, but most importantly, we were looking for someone to do all of the decor for us. Robin's decor inventory had everything I had pinned on my wedding pinterest board. It worked out perfectly! Robin also does flowers, which was even more perfect because we had not hired a florist yet. Robin ended up creating a personalized package for us that included access to all of her decor inventory, a master timeline for the big day, day of coordination, and she and her staff did all of the decorating at the venue, plus tore everything down when the night was over. On top of that, Robin did all of our flowers and WOW were they beautiful. We received so many compliments on how amazing our flowers were. Robin and her staff helped make our night a dream come true. She even added in some extra surprises with the decor, which we loved :). Everything was so beautiful, and it wouldn't have been without her and her staff and the amount of effort and skill they put into our wedding. Not only is Robin extremely talented in the work she does, but Robin is very personable. She really listened to what we wanted and helped keep our stress levels down. She was great at communicating with us and never left us out of the loop when she communicated with other vendors. Robin is amazing. Her team is amazing. I recommend The Wedding Lady to anyone and everyone needing a planner, decorator, or florist! It will be one of the best decisions you make.

Dana Money: Great place, loved it

Annie Roberts: Our wedding day went smoothly from one event to the next, and we have JDWC to thank for that! We are so grateful we worked with JDWC for day of coordination services. Kendra was incredibly helpful throughout the process! From a comprehensive timeline to overseeing vendor arrival times, she ensured every detail was covered. She helped me think of details and items that I would've overlooked without her guidance. Kendra truly had us covered and allowed us to enjoy the day without worrying about vendor arrival times or staying on schedule. JDWC is experienced, organized and reliable!

Kendall Flynn: I was beyond impressed and so grateful to have worked with JDWC for my Day Of Coordination services. Through carefully planned check-ins, they helped me keep track of every detail from the thoroughly mapped out day-of timeline, to the list detailing each item that I needed to prepare or check off my to-do list for the big day.I was always able to reach out to Jessica and Natasha throughout the planning process to ask them advice and opinion questions or request reminders. They were timely and responsive each time! I was able to pack up everything I needed for the ceremony and reception using their checklists and pass it along to them a few days prior to the wedding. This way, I didn't have to worry about gathering all of it and bringing it to the venue myself.Natasha was excellent on the big day, setting up each detail of the reception and working with my other vendors to make sure they knew where to be and when. I knew that I wouldn't have to stress about a single detail and that was such a relief.JDWC is a day-of-coordination group, but their services went above and beyond the wedding day itself. They are accommodating, flexible, organized, and reliable. I would recommend JDWC to all brides!

Caroline Carter: I interviewed several wedding coordinators to see who I would get along with best and who offered the types of services I was looking for. Jessica focuses specifically on the day of coordination, which I knew would be a must for me because I wanted to enjoy the day stress free and focus on my friends, family, and husband on the day of the wedding. Jessica was by far the coordinator who was the friendliest and who I trusted to make sure my wedding was flawless. I was planning a wedding on a shorter (5 month) timeline, flying in a photography team from California, getting my wedding dress delivered from a boutique in D.C., shipping in fine China from Virginia to give you a sense of how intricate all of the details were. My husband and I also had friends and family coming in from 17 different states (all while juggling unknowing COVID logistics), so we wanted to give our guests the best experience possible. Jessica was extremely detail oriented and acted as a human checklist for me to make sure all areas of my wedding were executed perfectly. She even acted as a pseudo wedding therapist when wedding stress was high and I was trying to juggle overly opinionated family members (thanks Jess!). I can confidently say if you want to throw a stunning and stress free wedding in the Indianapolis area, Jessica is the wedding coordinator for you. I loved, loved, loved working with her and she was the most essential vendor I hired. Thank you again for all of your hard work and positive energy Jessica!

Morgan Dickason: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueJessica has the best team! We worked with Natasha for our Day-of coordination services and honestly this was the best decision we made of the whole wedding. These ladies are incredible.

Kristen Flack: Jessica was a huge asset in making sure our wedding day ran smoothly! She helped cover areas I wouldn't have thought of, gave suggestions on vendors, and created a well thought out timeline. Our venue had a unique layout and I can't imagine planning it without her help. She was always timely in her responses and supportive throughout the whole process. The day of I knew she had everything covered, so I could focus on enjoying the day. I highly recommend her coordination services!!

Taylor Banister: Kendra is amazing and truly went above and beyond on our wedding day. I cannot tell you how much our family appreciated her guidance and all of the hard work she did to ensure our day was seamless. I was so calm knowing we were in such good hands. I cannot recommend Kendra and the JDWC team enough. It was truly the wedding of our dreams, and we owe Kendra for bringing it all together.

Andrea Renzi-Burns: From the beginning, Jessica helped me think through all of the details that I was completely unaware of. One of her first projects with me was putting together a rough timeline and that was extremely helpful as we started working with other vendors and planning out more concrete details. She is patient, kind, very responsive, and a joy to work with. She also was key to our rehearsal and the perfect timing of the ceremony processional including organizing our three sweet flower girls. I would recommend her time and time again to anyone planning a wedding.

Jan Cohoat: BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE! Jessica is amazing. Her attention to detail starts at the very first meeting. She thinks of all the little things you hope you don't forget. Her checklists kept us on track. Her follow-up with all of our vendors assured me that nothing would be forgotten. No wedding is complete without Jessica's help! I highly recommend her and her services.

Emily Wilson: If there is one thing I would tell all future brides, it would be to hire a wedding coordinator... specifically Jessica Dum Wedding Coordination! Jessica is absolutely amazing! I simply can't say enough wonderful things about her! One thing I wanted as a bride was to be able to bounce ideas off of someone and also to have someone take all of the stress away from me! Jessica does this in every way possible! She was organized, incredibly helpful with her ideas, and most importantly so friendly and welcoming to myself and my husband. As a bride, you do not want to have to worry about every last detail and making sure things get done the way you envision it. Jessica took all of my stress away, was in contact with all of my vendors so I did not have to keep up with that, and was able to create the most amazing wedding I have always dreamed of! Hire Jessica as your coordinator! I promise you will not regret it! We loved her!

Anna Grace Sterry: Jessica came very highly recommended by several local friends and they were right- she truly made the day seamless and easy which allowed us to just enjoy it. She thought of things that would have never crossed my mind yet ended up being important details of the day. She was incredibly flexible throughout the madness of wedding planning during a pandemic and I was constantly impressed at how she managed to keep all the details organized amidst lots of pivoting and changing of plans. She was incredibly empathic throughout some of the harder decisions we had to make and knew when to offer advice vs. leave things up to us. She’s great at her job but also really fun to work with! I can’t imagine the day without her :)

Hailey Schultheis: As I reflect on my time as a bride, I cannot imagine going through this entire process without Jessica. With all the changes, questions, and uncertainty, there was never a time when Jessica did not have the answer.During the planning process, she was honest and reliable with all of her communication. Leading up the wedding day, she not only communicated with all of my vendors, developed a detailed timeline, came to my house to pick up materials, but she also did this with undeniable compassion and professionalism. On my wedding day, she was such a sounding board! At any given point, she was seamlessly running the event while also checking in on my husband and me personally.My wedding day was absolutely magical, and Jessica certainly played such a large role. For anyone looking for a wedding coordinator that is a bundle of joy and extremely organized - its Jessica!

Kate Corr Keller: I don’t even know where to begin - Brittany was truly the BEST decision and a total dream to work with. From our very first meeting in February 2020, my mom and I knew she was a perfect fit for us. She is so incredibly efficient, organized, upbeat and fun to be with.When COVID hit and quarantine started, we continued planning for our August wedding but also began discussing contingency plans as a family and consulting with Brittany. From every email, text, phone call and FaceTime call, Brittany empathized with our anxiety, frustrations, and feelings of uncertainty. She supported our desire to get married on 8/8, even if that meant something very different than we had planned. She helped us come up with contingency plans based on what was important to us and the state's ever-changing limitations, which offered more predictability for us while keeping our primary concern, our family and friend’s health and safety, top of mind. She was an absolute pro in communicating our changes with all of our vendors and making it so easy on us.After pivoting and pivoting and pivoting again, we had truly the most magical and dreamy wedding day I could have ever imagined with a small group of our closest friends and family. There were moving pieces all the way up to the day of and Brittany was a champ - she rolled with it and kept it fun and light-hearted for us.We are SO darn thankful we met Brittany and will refer everyone we know to her and JDWC. xx

Madelyn LaDow: Jessica Dum and her team are truly a godsend on your wedding day! They are prepared for any hiccups, will make you feel comfortable, and will keep the day flowing. The team is prompt to respond, extremely knowledgeable and always prepared. Highly recommend!

Kalie Noll: My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Kendra from the JDWC team on our wedding day! Kendra was absolutely amazing and helped us feel very at ease on the wedding day! We had a few appointments with Kendra leading up to our big day and she brought up wonderful ideas and brought up things we hadn’t even thought of! We had a lot of personal items we wanted to incorporate for the wedding and she picked them all up from us, transported them to the reception and made our vision come to life! I simply can’t imagine not having her as our day of coordinator! She went above and beyond for us, the day before the wedding I called her at 8 am with the timeline change and she immediately communicated it to all of our vendors and called me back once it was all confirmed! On the best day of our lives it was so nice knowing that Kendra would handleAny mishaps that came up or simply make sure the timeline went according to the plan we had made! I HIGHLY recommend working with the Jess Dum wedding group!

Jackie Noll: Having a Wedding Coordinator for our daughter's wedding was WONDERFUL! My husband and I were able to enjoy all of the details of the reception knowing that we were in great hands with Kendra. She was so abundantly accommodating to all of our needs. Our reception required some detailed set up and Kendra was so incredibly hard working to get it all taken care of and it looked amazing! Jessica was perfect to work with through the entire process as well. I would highly highly highly recommend a wedding coordinator and more specifically, Jessica and her amazing team!

Kelly O'Brien: Cannot say enough about Jessica's services!!! She is extremely detail oriented, organized, and responsive leading to a smooth wedding day. She is also extremely creative and had every little detail looking perfect. Having a day of coordinator removed a ton of stress and I'm so glad I did it early in the process because she provided great advice and vendor recommendations in our initial meetings!

Kaitlyn Hart: Jessica and her team were absolutely incredible! The day was wonderful, but even more so she was so helpful during all of the moments leading up to the big day. She helped with vendors and input which was great for someone planning from far away. She was extremely responsive and always provided thoughtful input. She was well organized and knew how to keep everything moving so we were ready for everything on the big day. She helped me out with a dress emergency which I was extremely thankful for. She has a great reputation within the industry as well. The day itself was a dream all thanks to her. Myself and family were able to enjoy the day without any worries. She was incredible!

Jamie Garlock: Jess is AMAZING!!!!! From the first meeting, and even after the wedding day, she makes the process smooth, seamless, stress-free and fun! Jess is worth every penny, and you are crazy not to use her! She does things behind the scenes I would never think to do. She is PERFECT at what she does and a life long friend!!! :)

Brooke Bender: Jessica's service was priceless. If you know me, i'm a very high anxiety person. The day of the wedding i had 0 stress or anxiety. That is only because i knew Jessica was in control. She helped me with our first initial meeting with things i needed to think about for the wedding that i never knew existed. She was always available for questions throughout the process. She never once persuaded me either way or made me feel pressure to do one thing over the other. She was so laid back and wanted this to be my wedding experience and was there as my backbone. The day of the wedding nothing went wrong, and if it did, i still to this day know nothing about it. I was hesitant to pay for a wedding planner, and at the end it was the best money spent. You will not regret Jessica's services.

Kelli Farrington: Choosing JDWC as our day of coordinator was easily one the easiest and best decisions we made. From the moment we met Brittany at our consultation meeting, we knew that she would be the absolute best person to manage our day. Brittany is extremely detailed, was always available for questions or bouncing ideas off of her, a total calming presence at the rehearsal and the day of, and just super fun to be around. We had our final meeting the Tuesday before our wedding and I truly felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and I could enjoy the special time that Drew and I were in from that point on. I could not recommend JDWC or Brittany more. I just wish we could do it over and over again so we can continue to work together!! THANK YOU!

Malorie Maloof: We hired Megan as our Day of Coordinator, and she was amazing throughout the entire process. Megan was very professional and served as the main point of contact for all of our vendors and services. Once the big day came, we didn’t have anything to worry about! I tell everyone I know that hiring a Day of Coordinator was well worth it…truly one of the best things we invested in. Don’t plan your wedding without Arbor and Bloom!

Maria Hill: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueMegan and her team made our wedding day and planning stress free! From the very beginning, Megan was so kind and helpful. She was so responsive and so helpful with any questions or concerns! We shared our plan with her and she executed it perfectly. Our day ran so smooth thanks to her! I can’t recommend Arbor & Bloom Events enough!

Anthony Quarles: Megan was a life saver! We added her as our wedding planner towards the end of our process due to some issues and she stepped right up and was able to ensure that everything would go perfectly on our big day! She was very insightful and responsive and listened to our feedback and ideas. Megan and her team allowed us to really enjoy our wedding day without any worries at all! Thank you again.
