    Paige at Piney River Ranch

    April went over and beyond in every possible way. I got married at Piney River Ranch and this was April’s first time at this venue. She was so amazing that they put her on their preferred vendor list after one event with her! Our venue is not an easy venue, it’s treacherous to get to and if you didn’t bring it with you then you are out of luck. April was prepared for everything, she was amazing! Our wedding went perfectly thanks to her!

    Rachel at Vista View Events

    The first time I spoke with April, I instantly knew she was the perfect match. She immediately took all of my stress away by how detailed and thorough she was. She knew what she was doing and what I needed before I even knew what I needed. She made a detailed timeline, contacted/directed vendors for me, was there for the rehearsal, took care of everything the day of and much more. She is very personable but also down to business. She should get an award (or a well deserved vacation) for directing that many people. She makes your day about you all the while making sure things get done behind the scenes. I never knew if there was a problem because if anything did arise she would handle it. This allowed me to enjoy the day and live in the moment. Our day truly would not have been as special or the same without her (it would have been a disaster without her, honestly). April, thank you so much for everything you did for us, I cannot thank you enough. When we look back on this day we will remember how perfect everything was thanks to you. With love, A very satisfied bride.

    Kate at Whispering Oaks Ranch

    My husband and I both agree that hiring April was, hands-down, the smartest decision we made in planning our wedding. Our wedding was very unconventional, and April was a huge help in making sure that it reflected our personalities as a couple. As a bride, I was worried that a wedding planner might pressure us to include more of the traditional trappings, but I never felt that way with April. I only wish I had an excuse to hire her again!

    Hannah at Two Rivers Winery

    We decided to have April plan our wedding a month beforehand. I can honestly say the only regret I have is not hiring her on sooner. She did absolutely amazing through the whole process. She handled absolutely everything so I didn’t have to have to worry. She was available 24/7 for me to text or call with any questions or just to chat about details. She had our whole wedding planned down to the minute. I know wedding planners are a chunk of change but believe me when I say April is worth 10x more than she charges. My wedding day would NOT have went on without her.

    Stevie at T Lazy 7 Ranch

    Besides choosing my now-husband as my husband, April was the second best decision I made on my wedding day. April went above and beyond what was required of her, and never showed a hint of stress. Early in the week of my wedding, the linens didn’t fit the table, and my rental company didn’t have enough linens. April FIGURED IT OUT. I’m sure I don’t even know half of the issues April fixed, because she fixed them without telling me, so as not to stress me out. On reflecting about the day, my mom said that April was like a magic fairy-- she would sense that something needed to be done, and she would do it before anyone said it out loud. It was truly magic. I seriously cannot say enough good things about April. I just know she’s worth triple what I paid her. She’s gold, people. Go ahead and book her. And if you’re deciding between getting a planner vs. not getting a planner-- just spend the money. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re enjoying your wedding.

    Kasmira & Eddie at Antler Ridge Wedding

    April is top notch. We were planning our wedding in Colorado but lived out of state. This made it so we could only come back a few times to visit vendors and plan. April was integral in making sure things got done and our visits back were efficient and fun. She is enthusiastic about her job and you get the sense she really cares about your big day. She was very responsive when we weren't there and always professional. With her help we were able to plan our dream wedding while she made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. On the day of she made sure everything was set up in a tight time constraint without any stress on us. She made sure everything ran smoothly while seeming invisible. We could not have done it without her. April was worth every penny.

    Cassy at Collbran Private Ranch

    Hiring April & her team was the best decision we made for our wedding. They are truly the only reason why our wedding was everything we wanted and ran so smoothly. She made sure our vision was the most important and kept everyone on track to make sure it came to life. You seriously will not regret working with this amazing team of quite possibly, the most organized women on the planet. She is fairly priced and should probably charge her weight in gold for all the stress and day of decisions she will save you from! Love her and love her team. Hire them- you won’t regret it.

    Brittany at Vista View Events

    April and Nikki were so helpful! I acquired their guidance and expertise for the final month before the wedding. They helped me build a timeline, followed up with all my vendors, and shared lots of helpful tips. Nikki was our go-to lady on the big day, and she did amazing! Even though it rained and we had to switch up the ceremony plan, she was able to pull it all together and make our day perfect. I can’t say thank you enough to the ladies at April Marie Events!

    Dana at Top of the Pines

    April was nothing short of incredible to work with! Being the Type A planner that I am, I thought I would be able to handle the execution of my wedding without help... that is until a friend suggested hiring a wedding coordinator to lend a hand. I am sure glad I took her advice! April was in communication throughout the week confirming details and offering any other support we needed. Throughout the evening, April was two steps ahead of everything, anticipating needs, troubleshooting issues, all without my husband or I even being the wiser. April made our special day just perfect and I would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for event coordination needs.
