CLIENT LOVE NOTES

"My partner and I worked with Anne Michelle and from the very beginning we were transparent about our budget, our ideas, and our desire to keep this as small and *nontraditional* as possible. She went along with us every step of the way. She provided great details, resources, and supported most of our decisions. In cases where we had our heads in the clouds with ideas, she brought us back down to Earth in the nicest way! Once we finally got to a cohesive vision for our special day, it really felt like *us* and that’s all thanks to Anne Michelle and her assistant! - Anne Michelle’s accessibility and communication were her other great attributes. I could text, email, or call her with random questions or just to share something I saw on *the* TikTok. She stayed in contact with our vendors as well. I say this to say though, definitely recommend respecting their days off. They are humans and need their off time, too!"

"I strongly recommend booking with The Hive Wedding Collective for all your wedding planning needs. My planner Ciera Pope was such a blessing to my husband and I. Ciera was organized, professional, and provided timely check-ins/updates throughout the entire process. We learned we could trust her to bring our vision to life and she executed every detail we discussed with flawless precision. Our guests are still talking about how smoothly everything ran months later. Every couple deserves a planner of her skill set."

The Hive/Heather was amazing! We had no clue where to start. Heather was able to take rough ideas and form them into a cohesive design for the day. She had great vendor recommendations and relationships, provided guidance on next steps, and answered ALL of our questions throughout the process. On the day she was the calm presence we needed and everything went perfectly. 10/10 would recommend.

We said it many many many times throughout the planning process, but booking with Melissa Vine at The Hive Wedding Co. was THE best decision we made. I know people tend to say that in reviews, but I truly mean it. She was the legitimate glue to our wedding day. I am extremely indecisive, and the planner was an area I was having a very hard time deciding on. In my mind, I could plan most of the wedding and I didn't think I needed someone to do any heavy lifting. My now husband also didn't want to adhere to a strict timeline or to feel like someone was calling all of the shots or herding us around at our own wedding. We wanted someone who would still let us feel like we were just living in the moment of the day. I don't even know how to describe it, but Melissa was literally the perfect fit for us. She was somehow there exactly when we needed her, but also felt like she gave us space to just enjoy our day. She had a super detailed timeline for all of the vendors, but during our wedding she always checked in with us to see if we were ready to move on to the next planned item. She is extremely organized and kind. She is also gentle and compassionate and knows how to approach and deal with every kind of guest. ... If we were planning our wedding all over again, we would book her sooner.

The Hive is the end all, be all of wedding planning. All of my life, I never imagined I would need a wedding planner. I thought I could take care of everything myself and I didn’t see the value. Well, once it was time to plan my wedding, all of that went out the window. I was very stressed and overwhelmed. I did not know where to begin and where to end. Luckily, The Hive was a gift from above.
