"I was looking for someone who was flexible and easy going to help with the stress that comes with making sure your wedding turns out perfect. I never knew how much stuff I would actually forget, or things I would need to have the day of that I did not think about before! Amy was awesome! She was on top of everything from start to finish the day of the wedding. She helped with the timeline for the day of, running all the way back to town because I forgot my husbands gift, to getting our hungry bridal party gondolas to make it through the ceremony; they even stayed late to help us tear down the reception! You cannot beat the price for the amazing service Amy and her spouse provide! I would absolutely recommend these two for your wedding day!!"

"Amy was fabulous to work with leading up to the wedding. We hired her for a day of coordinator. We met on several occasions to go over the timeline for the day and discuss what I needed for her to do. She came to the rehearsal to be sure she knew the flow of the ceremony and what I needed for her to do for decorating the church the morning of our ceremony. Her and her spouse were constantly checking in with us throughout our wedding day and at the reception to see if we needed anything. They were a fantastic help and I knew I didn't need to worry about anything because they were there."

"Amy is so great to work with! She is very personable, professional, and knowledgeable! We live out of state and really didn't know what we would have done without Amy's help! She made the wedding planning experience go so smooth. Also, Amy and Hallie both made the wedding day run so smooth, which helped keep the stress level low! I appreciate them both so much and I highly recommend!"

"Hiring Amy as our day-of coordinator was honestly the best decision we could have made for our wedding! I first contacted her about four months before the wedding and she was so accommodating and easy-going from the very start. In the months and weeks leading up to the big day, she kept in touch and was quick to respond to any questions we had. She provided invaluable help, reminders, and suggestions to bring our vision to life, and the timeline she created was seamless. I didn't have a single worry the day-of thanks to Amy and Nicola. They were both so accommodating and on top of everything the entire day - from stopping by the hotel that morning, to setting up the sweetheart and photo tables, to generously staying late to help with cleanup. Amy is a true, experienced professional and can roll with whatever hiccups the day has in store for her. We could not have done it without her!"

"We hired Amy and Hallie as our day-of coordinators to run the errands and do the things we couldn't do that day. They were reliable, easy to work with, and very organized! They even came to our ceremony rehearsal the night before to make sure they were clued in so everything would run smoothly the next day, which I hadn't expected when I booked but was very helpful! I am a very type-A planner person and I knew giving up control and trusting other people to make sure everything ran smoothly that day would be the hardest part for me, but I definitely felt better knowing I had them taking care of the little details."

"We booked Amy almost two years ago for our wedding in May of 2020. We decided on an in-between of plan everything and just day of which was perfect for us because we knew what to do for a lot but needed a lot of help with the small stuff and booking some vendors. She is super knowledgeable of the wedding planning process and getting organized for the big day. On the day of, we saw her and her wife Hallie, who helped with the planning and set up, a few times but they did a ton of background work that made our day run perfectly. If there were issues, we didn't know about them at all, which is how it should be. She was super friendly, caring, and fun to work with, especially since she stuck with us through a pandemic and 3 different dates which she did not sign up for. We absolutely appreciate all her help."

"We just wanted to reach out to thank you both again for your fantastic work this past weekend. It ended up being such a stress-free weekend thanks to y'all. Emily and I were able to really enjoy our wedding day, which was the most important goal of ours. We will definitely be recommending your services to anyone we know who is planning a Central Illinois wedding in the future."

"We were in a unique situation because we didn't know the Peoria area very well, so we purchased the partial wedding package. Amy was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and helped us find exactly what we were looking for! She really listened to our vision (we didn't want a traditional wedding, more of a backyard bbq vibe) and gave us lots of options for all aspects of the wedding. She went above and beyond, helping us think through all aspects of the wedding and stay on track with planning. She even helped us find a photographer that was within our budget! We were thrilled with the outcome, our wedding turned out exactly how we wanted it! And on the day of the wedding, Heather did a great job making sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn't have made the day as special as it was without Amy and her team."

"We had such an amazing wedding experience from planning to "day of" with Blue Orchid Event Planning! Amy helped us out so much with keeping myself and everything on track with planning for our wedding and during our wedding day! She has such a wealth of knowledge, from what needs to be decided on when to having lists of so many vendors and companies to use for any aspect we may have wanted/needed for our Big Day! She made the whole process of planning for our wedding so smooth, she saved me mentally! She also has a couple of wonderful Women that helped with set up and day of coordination of everything keeping us on track for our timeline of the day! You CANNOT beat what you get from Blue Orchid Event Planning for what they charge! Thank you again for making Our Day just such an amazing one!"

"We truly cannot say enough good things about Blue Orchid Event Planning—especially Heather. From start to finish, she did everything we needed her to do and then some. Heather kept our wedding day running smoothly, handled every detail with professionalism and calm, and anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had. Because of her, we were able to fully relax and truly enjoy our day without worrying about timelines, vendors, or last-minute issues. Her organization, kindness, and dedication made such a difference in our wedding day, and we are so grateful to
have had her by our side. If you’re considering a day-of coordinator, book Blue Orchid Event Planning—you won’t regret it."
