Kind Words from the Newlyweds

"Valeria is AMAZING! I knew from the moment I was engaged there was no way I could plan my wedding alone. Starting a new job and going to school full time, I enlisted Valeria’s help. She listened to what I wanted and worked with multiple (opinionated) family members to ensure that my vision could come together. If you want the best of everything and flawless execution, this is your girl. She is detail oriented, prepared and has a solution to EVERYTHING. My wedding day was the best day of my life thanks to Weddings by V."

Kind Words from the Mother of the Bride

"My daughter selected an amazing venue for her fall wedding. But without Val, we could NEVER have executed the most beautiful DIY wedding and reception! It's one thing to say "I want it to look this way" and quite another to actually make it happen. Val made sure we thought of all those details we just assumed would take care of themselves. She handled the hard questions and difficult conversations with the vendors, and that allowed my daughter and I to enjoy the entire process together. Meetings, conference calls, detailed timelines, room layout drawings all put together with meticulous care and detail enabled us to really create a vision that could be executed flawlessly. Val managed and supervised everything on that beautiful day, so we didn't have to worry about anything. She is so smart, talented, strong and fearless in making sure every detail of the wedding plan is carried out to perfection."
