Oh my gosh... you have NO idea how much of a mess my wedding planning was before I booked with Bellissimo! Can we say disaster!? I couldn't tell the difference between rose pink, light pink, or blush. I was having nightmares about high-boys, sweetheart tables, and buffet tables! Not good! I was definitely in over my head and was on the verge of drowning. My Mom tried to help but they can only do so much before you have to start ignoring their calls!
Literally the day before I was going to tell my fiance that we should just elope, I found Colleen! I stalked her all the next couple of days and let me tell you.. she was AMAZING! Not once did I feel like I was rushed, or being ignored. It was as if I found my wedding fairy godmother! I told her everything I wanted, gave her my budget, colors, guest count, my "vision!" After that I was much more than relieved!! I could breathe again! Everything was finally falling into place and I was glad I got to take my engagement photos without looking like a zombie!
Colleen & I were constantly in communication, anytime I had a new idea or found something I liked I would send it over to her for her thoughts. Her knowledge and recommendations are the best, I never knew a person could know so much! On the day of my wedding everything turned out much more than perfect... I was so amazed and in awe! I was nervous all day just for everything (mainly i didn't want to fall walking down the aisle) and I wanted my guests to like everything that I thought they would..
Right before it was time to walk down the aisle, Colleen tossed a mint in my mouth, gave me a tissue, fluffed my dress, and i knew it was my turn to walk! She thought of everything!! Luckily, I didn't fall! The flowers were gorgeous, I still get compliments! It really was everything I dreamed of and then some. I do have to say my favorite part of my wedding day was when I walked into my reception, and the DJ announced us as "Mr. & Mrs. De Luca," and everyone was there clapping and looked so happy! Definitely a memory I will forever have in my mind!
I couldn't believe everything turned out how I wanted it. I couldn't have done any of it without Colleen! Words cannot express my gratitude! Definitely one of the BEST decisions I have ever made! She is more than a professional! She really takes everything into consideration, and wants to help you make your wedding dreams come alive. Trust me, I asked her some of the most random stuff, and she always had the answers! If you are iffy about hiring a wedding planner, just do it! Colleen will become your best friend, and you will be overly happy with your big day. I for sure was and still am! :) Thank you Colleen! I already told all my friends when they're engaged i'm setting them up with you! You are the BEST wedding fairy godmother! XOXO Kendall De Luca
p.s. you were right, my name still does flow nicely :)
I got married last December and I dont think I could have made it through all the chaos without my wedding planner Colleen!! My mother in law told me not to hire a wedding planner because she said "they are so over priced and the dont do much for you". I can not begin to tell you how wrong she was. I herd about Bellissimo Weddings from a co-worker of mine and received rave reviews. I called them and spoke to Colleen, the wedding planner. She was the Best! She really had the same vision for my wedding as I did. This was extreamly helpful because I didn't feel like I was being forced into anything that I didnt want. Colleen was so helpful and understanding and she was also very accomidating with me when I changed my mind about something. I could not have done it without her help. I am so thankful that I did not listen to my mother in law:). I was so happy with everything and I know you will be too!!! Thank you Colleen for making my special day one I will never ever forget. I appreciate all that you have done for me and my family and thanks for putting up with me. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
Bellisssimo Weddings was a dream come true to work with. From the minute I met with my planner I knew James and I were going to have the most amazing wedding day!
Being from New York planning to move to Vegas after the wedding was tough. I had to find a house and a planner within a week of our scouting trip. When I contacted Bellissimo I had to make no more phone calls. Colleen my planner, had it all for me. From venues to vendors I was covered after my first visit. ( highly recomened having them help you pick your vendors especially if you are from out of town.)
Every detail was taken care of with so much ease and presision that it seemed like things were too good to be true. Coming from another state and planning from far away required for us to place alot of trust on Bellissimo and their team of proffesionals and from the floral to the photography everything was perfect on our big day!
I highly recommend this to any bride looking for a stress free and flawless wedding planning experience, thank you Bellissimo for making my dream wedding a reality!
