My husband talked me into her Best Friend package, and we are so glad we made that choice. When we got engaged, I thought, “how hard could it be to plan a wedding?” I was SO wrong… I had obviously never been married before and had no idea how complicated it could get. She was there for us every step of the way, answering all my texts, emails and phone calls promptly and meeting with me at least once a month. No matter how picky and undecided I was, Misty was always there with a smile on her face and great ideas and solutions for every issue. She’s seen and dealt with it all! She gave me great advice and helped with everything from flowers to linens, seating, centerpieces, scheduling, and even those tricky etiquette questions. We got married on the beach at St. Andrews State Park, and she and her crew arrived early to set up and reserve our spot, and she handled all decorations and clean up for the ceremony and our outdoor reception at the St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club. They set up everything and strung beautiful lights above our tables and dance floor. Our wedding was literally the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Throughout the entire planning process, everyone kept telling me, “something WILL go wrong during your wedding… just know that ahead of time and be prepared.” Well, we had Misty, and nothing went wrong. Not a single thing. And if it did… she dealt with it and thankfully didn’t let me know about it! We thoroughly enjoyed every second of our big day and didn’t have to worry about anything. Thank you so much Misty! " "I don't even know where to begin!!!! I loved everything!!! 2 thumbs up, 5 star experience for me!!! Exceeded my expectations!! And Misty...Kudos!! Such a sweet and beautiful person! Misty handled everything and I couldn't be more pleased!! Thank you so much The Celebration Place and Misty!! I will give very high recommendations for this place." "Hiring Misty as a day-of coordinator was absolutely one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. It was a special blessing to be able to spend precious time with our families before our ceremony and know that Misty was setting up and making sure every detail was in place. She helped us with some last-minute fixes and even remembered some last minute stuff that we had completely forgot about! We were so glad to have her there to discreetly guide us through our reception when we were in a happy fog; we wouldn’t have known what to do without her there. Everything went perfectly. Everything happened at the time it was supposed to. Absolutely nothing was forgotten! Misty’s passion for weddings combined with her organization and attention to detail make her worth so much more! We would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding; with Misty’s help, our wedding was the smoothly-run success we dreamt it could be!" "Thank you so much for making my daughter’s big day so special. You took Carey’s nautical theme ideas and added the finishing touches that brought it all together. The decorations for the wedding ceremony in the gazebo turned out beautiful and show up so pretty in the pictures. The reception decorations were just breath taking. I was so amazed with the detail you had put into every little thing. Everyone is still raving about Carey’s wedding. Working with you was such a joy because you were always so pleasant and cheerful. Thank you for guiding me through the wedding planning process and being there every step of the way. You were always like a best friend only a phone call or text away. We told you what we wanted and then you took care of ALL of the details to make it happen. You worked so hard on the wedding day and what you created was beyond our expectations. Thank you for allowing the mother of the bride to enjoy her daughter’s wedding day without any worries. I could go on and on about how pleased we were with everything you did for us. But I think Carey said it best when I asked her what she thought about her wedding day. She said “It was perfect.” It would not have been perfect without you, Misty, and all of your hard work."
