She never disappoints, she’s always professional, kind, always willing to listen, very understanding, and she listens to every detail this is the place where you want to have all your events

Amy Griffith: Our family cannot recommend Angie and her team enough if you're thinking about hiring a wedding planner! From start to finish, everything went smoothly and was 100% stress-free. Angie is so professional and her kind and calm demeanor throughout the whole process was extremely appreciated. The day of the wedding could not have been more perfect and we were able to enjoy the whole experience without ever having to worry about one detail -- and I know this is because of all the hard work, time, and positive energy that Angie and her team put into it.

Katie: We found Angie based on an internet search and we are so happy we did! Hiring her for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made as she helped guide us through all the decisions, managed all the nitty-gritty details and record-keeping, and made sure our day was as beautiful as possible. She reduced a lot of the stress and reassured us throughout the way. Angie also knew the best vendors to work with and our wedding day went off without any problems! We couldn't be happier!

Hannah Worns: Hiring Angie for full service planning was the best wedding planning decision we made! We were planning from out of town but Angie’s knowledge of the area and attention to deal helped ensure everything went smoothly. She knows all the best vendors in the area and helped us secure an amazing team for our day. She made sure it was all about us and never imposed her own preferences, but when we were unsure about something she always had great suggestions. She did a great job answering our questions promptly throughout the process. On the day of, she kept the timeline running smoothly but made sure not to rush us and also made sure we had plenty of snacks and water! We had an absolutely wonderful day in huge part thanks to her. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job - if you need wedding planning services, we highly recommend Angie!

Cyndy Paliga: I would highly recommend Angie and her team. They were absolutely amazing and flawless for my daughters wedding. I had very high expectations as I am in the events industry. She was very responsive to all of my ideas and went above her duties to assist with decor and transforming the venue into our luxury wedding. She was always calm and supportive while keeping us on schedule but allowing special needs to be met.

Adrienne Bookhamer: Angie and Belle Behind the Ball was great to work with. She was professional, easy-going, calm and everything I wasn't in trying to get ready for my wedding. I highly recommend her. She made my wedding go off without an issue and I am so grateful for her.

Jacqueline Michuda: I cannot recommend Angie enough for any and all of your wedding planning needs! She was so attentive to detail and made communicating with other vendors an absolute breeze. Any plans or ideas you mentioned you might want in passing, she would get done immediately! Not only did she take the stress away from planning, but Angie and her team made my wedding day absolutely seamless. They were there to direct and guide vendors, guests, and my wedding party so that everything was in order and I did not have to worry about a thing. Angie's bubbly personality and determination to make your day perfect is everything you could ask for in a wedding planner and more!

Anne Linus: We initially questioned the purpose and value of a day of coordinator.... and now post wedding we get it. Thank you! It would not have been what it was without your help, especially during the challenging time of August 2020 with Covid restrictions. Angie kept everything on track and took the work off us so that we could really be present for our daughter’s special day. I think of all the small details that I would have been responsible for that she and her assistant took care of. She was easy to work with and coordinated communication with all the vendors. Highly recommend!

Jay and Greta Lewis: One of the first decisions we made a year before our daughter got married was to hire Angie. And it was the best decision we made! The team of vendors that Angie pulled together was fantastic and the way they all worked together was a marvel. Through the planning process, Angie made all of us (the bride, the groom, the parents) feel listened to and understood and we ended up with a wedding that was just what all of us wanted (even though we didn't all see eye to eye at the beginning!). The pandemic changed our plans greatly and Angie worked closely with us (by Zoom!) to adjust schedules and numbers and plans. The day of the wedding went so smoothly; Angie had us well prepared for what would happen and she handled the inevitable curve balls that came up. We had a beautiful day celebrating our daughter and her husband, and spending time with our family and friends. We highly recommend Angie!

Susan McGarrigle: Where do I even begin? Our daughter’s wedding was just so lovely, despite the crazy roads we went down to get to it! Angie and Belle Behind the Ball helped us navigate it all, and for that my husband and I will be forever grateful. Hiring Angie was the best first step we took to plan our daughter’s wedding. Let's forget the pandemic for just a second...even if things went exactly as we originally planned, working with Belle Behind the Ball would still be our first best decision. Angie’s experience, vendor partners, and mostly her calm demeanor and positive attitude made it all fun. Angie gave us many options and price points for hiring vendors - and held our hands throughout the process. Her laughter is contagious, which came in very handy as things started to go nuts. I so appreciated Angie’s outreach when the shutdown started happening - her honesty, and her commitment to helping us sort through our options meant so much to me. Angie took so many of my panicky calls, even when they came at her in rapid succession :). She is a great listener and always had options for us. I also want to acknowledge how incredible this now seems to me, as Angie too, was reeling with a huge impact to her business. Belle Behind the Ball held us up, and that meant the world to us, as we so wanted to give our daughter and her husband the best day ever. And it happened! While I always understood the role Belle Behind the Ball played in all of the planning and re-navigating (their Aisle Planner tool was so helpful), I do want to say that Angie and Becca were AMAZING the day of! Just their presence was a huge comfort – this team in action is something else. We wanted for nothing - everything we needed, they anticipated. And they did it all with a joy and enthusiasm that told us all that this was truly a special day. I highly recommend Belle Behind the Ball!

Rosemary Demet: Angie was absolutely incredible! She was always very professional, respectful, and punctual. Especially considering the conditions in which we planned our wedding (early 2020), her knowledge of the industry and of the South Bend vendors was invaluable! We also had a Bridal assistant, Becca, the day of who was absolutely phenomenal! I would highly recommend a wedding planner to anyone about to get married and, more specifically, I would recommend hiring Belle Behind the Ball!

Sarah Sage: Having Angie by your side on a wedding day is priceless! She's been planning weddings and events for so many years that she knows the ins and outs of the industry and how to create a couple's dream wedding! She's a recommended planner for the University of Notre Dame. This is a huge honor and shows how professional and hard working she is. If you're getting married on campus, Angie will know who exactly to talk to so that you can have your dream Notre Dame wedding. She will also find the perfect vendors for you. She works with an extensive network of quality vendors to match your high standards. You won't be disappointed, call her now!

Amelia Laureys: Belle Behind the Ball is AWESOME! Angie and her team made sure my wedding went smoothly. I didn't feel well for part of my wedding so Angie changed the schedule and no one even knew, our night went on and I did not stress at all because Angie and her team made sure all of the other vendors knew about the schedule change. Having a bridal assistant was also very helpful throughout the day/night. I cannot express how CRUCIAL having a coordinator is! If you are questioning if a coordinator is necessary let me tell you it 100% is worth it!

Christine Karsten: I just got married in October and I am BEYOND grateful that Angie and her team were a part of it. When I started planning my wedding I knew I NEEDED someone to help me with all the details, especially the day of.The more I talk to people, the more this name kept being brought up. Angie, you need Angie, Angie Anderson with Belle behind the Ball is who you need on your big day. Do not trust anyone but Angie. Thank you to everyone who recommended her because I don’t know what I would have done without her.Angie has this cool, don’t worry I will take care of it attitude and that is exactly what you need during this stressful process. She works with so many different vendors, knows everyone and can get you exactly what you want.We had to change our venue MONTHS before the big day. With Angie, it wasn’t a problem. She had a backup list ready to go in case something like this happened. We had to set up our own tables. With Angie, it wasn’t a problem. Her team brought my dreams to life. Everything was beyond perfect. My family is divorced and I knew there could be drama when the two families came together. I told Angie in advance and she was there, putting out fires, having my back, making sure MY DAY was exactly that, stress free and perfect.I also can’t say enough about her assistants. They treated me like a princess. They were holding my flowers, train, anything I needed while making sure I was hydrated, laughing, every hair was in place, make up was flawless, the list goes on.Long story short, if you want a stress free wedding, someone constantly in your corner, someone who really cares about your and bringing your dreams to life, Angie Anderson is your gal. She is worth every penny and I adore her so much! THANKS ANGIE!!!

Margaret B: I was beyond, beyond impressed with Angie and her team. I was a very laid back bride (probably too much so!) and she really helped me with small details I would have never otherwise considered. She provided so many suggestions and helped me with all the finishing touches for my wedding day, and I believe that helped it take my wedding from average to above and beyond. She also managed to meet all the needs of my very detail oriented mother in law (who is in the wedding business). Overall I was so impressed with Angie and would highly recommend them! Plus the price was very reasonable for the services provided (day of coordinator). My day went smoothly and I practically had zero stress because of Angie and her team. I was beyond thrilled!

Devin Jones: Angie truly made our wedding a dream come true! Even with my anxiety and indecisiveness at times, she managed to pull together a day straight out of a fairytale, and kept me sane the whole time. We were so lucky to have her for our special day!

Jennifer Unrein: I couldn’t imagine planning my daughters wedding without Angie and being that amazing!!!! She (and her wonderful staff) were such a blessing and made the day absolutely perfect!! She made the whole experience so special and beautiful!! ❤️❤️

Caroline Holenstein: Hiring Angie to be our month of wedding coordinator was hands down the greatest decision my husband and I made for our wedding! Angie is not only one of the kindest people we have ever met, but she truly is passionate about wedding planning. Angie was my right-hand gal throughout the entire month leading up to our wedding. Any question I had throughout the entire wedding planning process was answered immediately, and she was available to chat with me at all times during the day! She has incredible taste, and was able to help me make crucial wedding decisions with total ease. She completely made wedding planning less stressful for me as an anxious bride. Besides helping us plan our dream wedding, Angie also planned the honeymoon of our dreams! We had always wanted to go to Tahiti, and completely blew it out of the water! She planned us the most magical honeymoon that we are still pinching ourselves over. My husband and I look back on our wedding and honeymoon, and are just so thankful we met and hired Angie. I would highly recommend hiring Angie, and would do it all again if I could! We love you Angie!!! Xoxo!

Karen Camarata: I was the MOB at a wedding in July, 2017 in South Bend at Notre Dame. If you want someone who knows vendors and venues, guides you through boutonnières and bouquets, coordinates timelines and toasts, then Angie is your gal. She is organized and makes wedding planning fun. She met with us several times as we were long distance and saved us several more trips to South Bend. That right there translates to money saved! She knows all the vendors and can recommend the best in your price range. Angie or her assistant was with us every minute of the wedding day taking care of multiple details that never even made it to the bride or to me. As one othe MOB advised me, Angie is a little powerhouse of a gift that you give yourself so that you and your family can have a well plannned and well executed event!

Abby Fredrickson: Angie is an absolute pleasure to work with! We planned the wedding from out of town, so having someone in the area was incredibly helpful. During the planning, Angie had great recommendations, and was open to finding vendors in the right price range. The day of the wedding was when it really paid off to have Angie and her team. I loved knowing that my family didn't have to worry about any aspect of the day, but could just enjoy themselves. Our wedding truly felt stress-free, and I would attribute that to Belle Behind the Ball's hard work! I would definitely reccommend them to others, especially for the day-of!

James Renner: Being in the wedding industry for over 27 years, it is always a good sign when the bride books Angie @ Belle Behind The Ball as we know the event will be organized and stress free for the bride. Less stress for the bride means less stress for everyone involved: family, guests and other professionals!

oscar azevedo: Amazing

Buck Quigley: My "go to" for any size event. They always find a way to one up themselves every time I use them. Great design team, and you actually end up getting more than you expect with their imagination. Highly recommend! Thanks MichaelAngelos for another flawless event.

Kiernan Cressy Anzelc: MichaelAngelos provided the most fabulous decor and event coordination for a first-time event for us. They exceeded every expectation and consistently went above and beyond. They demonstrated impeccable style and unwavering professionalism. Every single employee was a pleasure to work with, from the team who unloaded the trucks to the assistants who set up the space to Laura Magliozzi who guided us in all the planning details. I trust them completely and was so grateful for their wonderful work!

Britney Przygoda: Lauren is amazing!!! She has been the best resource for me trying to plan my wedding. She's very knowledgeable in every wedding need and I can't say enough good things about her!

Fayth Verburg: Where do I start!Molly was the most incredible sales person to work with. I live in NYC and I was planning my dream rustic/whimsical farm wedding and she was exactly what I needed.She was extremely responsive and helped me with each and every question. Her hospitality was phenomenal and I have worked in hospitality for over 10 years 😍!I had the opportunity to also speak with the owner and she listened to everything I had to say which was greatly appreciated.My wedding day was PERFECT and I owe so much to Molly and the Burns team. They were right on time for pick up and delivery and it made for a seamless set up and tear down.I can’t THANK them all enough. I have photos of my rented items below, they all came out just stunning 🤩.Thank you so much Molly and Team💓Fayth

Michelle Lawrence: We used Lauren/Burns Rent-Alls for our September wedding. Lauren not only helped with the design, decor and prep of our venue but also coordinated with ALL the vendors and staff to ensure a seamless and stress free day! Lauren and her team are true professionals and I highly recommend using them for you wedding day too!

Shannon Jacks: Burns Rent-Alls were amazing!! Our daughters wedding venue canceled because of the pandemic so we had to scramble to throw a backyard wedding. I called several places but Lauren @ Burns was by far the most helpful! She answered all our questions and was so patient! When we decided we needed a different dance floor after one was delivered, they came out and swapped it right away and then we added another wall to the tent, again, no issue!! Every time we called they were great!! Amazing customer service and the guys who came out were super friendly and helpful as well!!! I highly recommend them and will use them again!!

Rachel Bland: Great company

Melissa Crook: I work for a very large known company in the Elkhart area. We were having a Board meeting and needed some cocktail tables and linens for food and drinks. I called Burns to rent these items. A few days after they came and picked the items up they call me and say that we owe them $37 for a large rip in one of the linens and some brown spots! Well their people were the ones who disassembled the tables and took the linens off so how do you know they didn’t do it! They told me that their people didn’t do it and as for the brown spots they were probably coffee spots! I guess I didn’t know that I had to have the linens professionally cleaned before they come to get them! I can assure them WE did not rip their linens, it was a Board meeting of 10 people, not some wild party where linens would have been ripped! My question is why would you ruin that relationship with such a large business that could potentially give you so much more business for $37! Do you need $$ that bad that that’s how you run business! Wow....well you’ve definitely lost our business and unfortunate for Burns we obviously have a lot of connections and will let others know how they do business as well!

Angela Miller: I recently rented tables, chairs, linens and decor from Burns for my Bridal Shower and Wedding. The staff was extremely helpful to make everything perfect! Burns also did the floral our wedding party and it looked absolutely amazing! I definitely recommend Burns!!

Jessa McIntyre: First rented a carpet cleaner from their tool rental and then found out they have a second location that does wedding and event stuff. Went in and started getting stuff booked for my wedding. They have a huge selection of stuff and are helpful to brides planning their weddings.... and they're even going to do my wedding flowers & centerpieces.

Emily Crawford: Friendly service, good pricing, and great communication for pick-up/drop-off! Thank you!

grace brumbill: we had a horrible experience with burns rental. we wanted to rent dishes and linens for our wedding and just had a hard time from the start. very expensive and every time we wanted to take an item off our order they would try to charge us some fee for something else. just one example is the delivery fee was 150 and we asked to take off the desert spoons and suddenly the delivery fee was 800 dollars. save yourself the headache and go somewhere else.

Morgan Myers: We used Burns for all of our wedding and bridal shower rentals, and we were extremely happy with the quality of the rentals, the service they provided and the overall outcome. Their staff are personable and are always there when you have a question or need anything and once we picked out our items, they truly did the rest. We had fun designing different table layouts in their showroom and felt like that really brought our whole design concept together, rather than just picking some things out of a catalog somewhere else. I would highly recommend Burns for any event rental needs, but especially wedding rentals. Thank you, Burns!

Bob Sonneborn: Nice people!

Chris Priebe: We have used Burns for years and have always been 100% satisfied. This June we used them for our daughters wedding and they went above and beyond to make everything absolutely perfect! Three months after the wedding we still have people telling us it was the most beautiful wedding they have attended. Burns is simply THE best!

Sarah Cira: Burns Rental has been fabulous in providing the Barron Lake Triathlon with tents, tables, porta potties and other quality equipment for 4 years now! Very reliable, on time, dependable, amazingly clean, beautiful and quality tents. I can always depend on them to deliver on time and trust that everything will run smoothly. Every single person I have worked with has been very helpful, friendly and polite from the staff at the warehouse to the team installing our rentals! Thank you Burns for being such a great company with quality service in our community!!

Kayzie Priebe: I worked with burns for all of my wedding rental needs. They did an AMAZING job and brought my ideas to life. My wedding has been featured in many magazines because of the hard work put in by burns. They went above and beyond to make my day everything I dreamed of. I would highly recommend Burns for your wedding needs.

Elizabeth Brenneman: Rented a tent, tables, and some other miscellaneous items for my wedding. Everyone I dealt with, from the office personnel to the guys who set up the tent, was friendly and polite.

Tyson Kritzman: The equipment is always in good working condition and the service is great!

Alley Bentley: Called to rent the 15x15 tent package for my sons birthday party but come to find out you have to give them 5 days ahead of time do to the stakes on the rent, understandable, but the woman I spoke to had no interest in talking to me about more of their products I was planning on renting along with tables and chairs, she was rude from the minute she picked up the phone. Would not recommend coming here do to how awful costumer service is.

McIntire Studio: They will go above and beyond to accomplish your vision for your event! They have a huge showroom were you can see the products beforehand and do mock set-ups!

Libby Stout: Average products, with low prices. Some chairs were rusty when dropped off. They were rather difficult to work with - conflicting email information and not flexible at all. Tried to coordinate pick up and they gave a 5 hour timeframe. That's poor customer service in this day and age.
