I sit here writing this just the day after the most amazing, beautiful, perfect day of our lives – a day that was made possible by our wonderful wedding planner, Donna Kim.

It was nine months prior to our wedding – a time when I was feeling overwhelmed by trying to plan our wedding while working full-time. I felt like I had so many ideas, saved links, and magazine clippings but didn’t know how to put it all together. Also, I had already spent countless hours online, poring through endless websites, to try to
find recommendations and reviews for the vendors I had yet to choose.
I found this process extremely frustrating and I was afraid that I was leading myself down the wrong path by only going with vendors that I could find online or in wedding magazines. In addition, I found myself feeling completely overwhelmed by the thought of all the details to coordinate and all the things that could go wrong on our wedding day.

It was around that time that I decided that to save my sanity and find a wedding planner, and luckily for me I found Donna. From our first phone call, I found myself feeling so reassured and just amazed that she so quickly got on the same page as me and understood just what I was trying to convey. By the next day, Donna had become part of my wedding team and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Donna was the best – always there for me, always ready to email me back promptly to answer my many questions, and as a type A details type of bride, I always had a LOT of questions! I felt so relieved to finally have answers to all of my questions, and Donna has so many contacts in the wedding industry and could always make recommendations. She took care of the hard stuff – the initial contact, negotiations, and pushing back on the vendors when someone wasn’t giving her bride what she felt she should have. Donna could always be the “tough guy” and would go all out to protect our interests. She was the one to remember all the details and give me lists of things to remember, fill out, and hand back to her to take care of. She knew my budget and didn’t try to push anything but instead, was so instrumental in helping us to spend our money in just the right places where it would make the most impact. Even the places where we “cut back” – the end result was quality and impressed everyone.

Our wedding was amazing – every single person we spoke to was in awe over the beauty of the location, the décor, the smoothness of the event, all the little details. Donna was everywhere she needed to be – she made sure everyone knew what they were supposed to do, where
they were supposed to be, and I never had to worry about anything.
When buttons came loose and stains appeared, Donna was ready to save the day. All of the time that Donna spent with me to help design and plan the wedding was so worth it – many people stated that our wedding was the most breathtaking and perfect that they had ever attended. I feel very strongly that my wedding day would not have been close to as amazing if I hadn’t had Donna, and in fact, would probably have ended up costing me more money without Donna’s cost-saving strategies and relationships with vendors.

I really can’t say enough – I could keep going on and on with all of the things Donna did for us. I always felt like she cared about us personally, and that we weren’t just “clients” where every minute was being counted – it was like she was a friend. I am grateful beyond words to have had Donna as part of my wedding and hope that now after the wedding is over, that we will continue to stay in touch. Donna is a true rockstar and it is with genuine fondness and sincerity that I thank her for the best day of our lives and wish her all the best.
