"When we first got engaged we were thinking that we may only need a day-of coordinator, but we got so overwhelmed with planning very quickly. Before hiring Aspen & Ivy we spent multiple hours reading reviews of different vendors but made no progress because we were so overwhelmed by the often conflicting opinions online. When we first met with Aspen & Ivy, she helped us allocate our budget, talk through our goals, and set a timeline. Then, at the right time, she would give us a few suggestions for each vendor that was in budget, provided the services that we were looking for, and she could recommend. They helped relieve so much of the mental load of wedding planning, so we were truly able to enjoy our wedding planning experience and didn't feel like we were constantly behind. The investment was so worth it!"
