A Mountainside Ceremony for Megan & Johnny
“Where to begin! Having Haley from the Flourish Team be our wedding day coordinator made the wedding planning experience incredibly less stressful and the day so perfect. We had the chance to meet with Haley in person over coffee to discuss our wedding day vision and plan out next steps with her. She is the sweetest, most comforting, warm, and positive person. The advice she was able to give, the resources she provides, and support she gave made the tough parts of planning easier and more enjoyable. She was so communicative throughout the entire process and was honestly someone I leaned on whenever it started to feel overwhelming! The amount of relief and confidence she provided us (mainly me) was, and still is, so appreciated.
Haley was so helpful during our rehearsal the day before our wedding. She has a way of tending towards the bride and groom through all the chaos and made us constantly feel heard. Our wedding party thought she was great and complimented how well the rehearsal went - and I undoubtedly agreed! She was so patient with everyone (way more patient than me) and made sure we covered everything we wanted to that day so we felt great when it came to the real day!
On our wedding day, rainy weather rolled in shortly before the ceremony was supposed to start and when guests were arriving. With the ceremony being outside without cover, I think I speak for all brides when I say it's our worst nightmare...but it was all perfect. Not because the rain stopped magically right before our ceremony, because it didn't...but because Haley, our venue manager, and the vendor managers made it perfect. When we were waiting out the rain and cutting into the ceremony time, Haley came to us calmly and empathetically and laid out plan B, C, D, and E for us. Her calmness made me feel better instantly. We were so set on Plan A because the view at the ceremony site was the main reason we chose the venue, so we didn't want to go with another plan, however, there was no telling when the rain would stop. Haley so sweetly supported our decision and with the help of the wedding party and family members, the idea of switching cocktail hour and the ceremony around came to light - so that's what we did. Haley immediately rolled with it, got all the vendors on the same page, asked us what we needed from her, and MADE. IT. HAPPEN. Haley didn't bat an eye and got to work changing the plans and making sure it still worked out perfectly - and that's why it did. Everyone was so happy and because of the good energy everyone had, the rain cleared up at the end of cocktail hour and the clouds broke up to expose the sun right when I started to walk down the aisle. I think Haley may have planned that! ;) It couldn't have been more perfect, more fun, and more special. Haley was there through it all - and from the bottom of my heart I don't know what I would have done without her by my side through it all! My parents and bridesmaids couldn't have thought more highly of her either - they were so impressed - and I was proud. I was proud that we chose such an incredible team to work with at Flourish, and that we got blessed with Haley to witness the best day of our lives!
Thank you Flourish Team. And thank you forever, Haley!!”
