Connie was on top of everything for us. We had multiple of our vendors tells us that Connie went above and beyond and when they needed anything from her on the wedding day she responded promptly. Some vendors even said that they are usually the ones to make a schedule of timing for the wedding day but Connie already did that for them so it was something they did not have to worry about. One of the best things we did during this wedding planning journey was hiring Connie. Connie you truly took all the stress from us and we were able to relax and enjoy our day. Almost a month later and we are still receiving weekly texts about how this was on of the most beautiful weddings people have been to and how it ran so smoothly. We will be forever grateful for you.

We cannot recommend Connie enough! She was absolutely incredible throughout our entire wedding planning process and made what could have been a stressful experience feel like a breeze. From day one, Connie was extremely communicative, organized, and thoughtful. She was always quick to respond, took the time to address all of our questions and concerns, and provided us with an excellent list of vendors that helped make our wedding everything we hoped for. She was also incredibly accommodating of our busy schedules, making the entire process seamless and easy to manage. What truly sets Connie apart, though, is how exceptional she was on the wedding day itself. Even when things didn't go exactly as planned behind the scenes, she handled everything so smoothly and professionally that we didn't even realize anything had gone wrong until afterward! That level of composure, problem-solving, and attention to detail gave us the freedom to simply be present, enjoy every moment, and celebrate with our family and friends without worrying about a thing. Planning a wedding involves so many moving pieces, and having someone as reliable, proactive, and genuinely caring as Connie made all the difference. We are so grateful to her for helping bring our vision to life and making the entire experience so enjoyable from start to finish. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is organized, responsive, thoughtful, and truly has everything under control, look no further than Connie. She was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we would recommend her to absolutely anyone!
- Price assessment: Reasonable price
Had the opportunity to work with Connie and what a pleasant experience! Connie had amazing communication before, during, and even after the wedding! She was always present and could easily be found when questions and issues came up! Her experience was apparently through how professionally she communicated and how she presented herself throughout the 10+ hours of the event!
We’re so happy we worked with Connie! She kept everything organized and on track, while also making sure we were doing okay during the process. With everything going on in our lives at the time, that meant a lot. She made the experience feel calm and stress-free, even when it may have been hectic behind the scenes. Would absolutely recommend!
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Made By Connie Designs! From start to finish, Connie and her team were an incredible support system throughout our entire wedding journey. So many of our guests, including our family, told us how much fun they had at our wedding, which was our goal. Everything ran so smoothly (even despite some hiccups and timeline changes), and the details were all executed beautifully. Connie also provided our officiant with guidance and coaching to ensure he conducted a flawless ceremony, which many of our guests and family members complimented as well. We’re both so thankful (and a little sad!) to be at the end of this chapter, but we couldn’t imagine having gone through it with anyone else. We are so fortunate to have worked with Connie and her team. If you’re looking for a wedding planning team that is organized, supportive, thoughtful, and truly invested in your day - Made By Connie Designs is it. Highly, highly recommend!
Working with Connie was hands down the best decision we made during the entire wedding process. If you are looking for an experienced planner to help make your dream wedding day come to life, we cannot recommend Connie enough! After our first video call, we immediately knew Connie was the person we were looking for -- you only need to meet her once to see how personable, organized, and knowledgeable she is. She was indispensable in navigating the crazy world of wedding planning, and was so patient working with us despite our insane work schedules across multiple time zones. However, what really sets Connie apart is how much she truly cared about us and our well-being, and what a fierce advocate she was for us every step of the way. As a couple that felt very overwhelmed and lost with wedding planning, Connie made the process so much more clear and enjoyable. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Despite some inclement weather and the usual wedding day chaos, we were able to enjoy every minute of our day stress-free because we knew that Connie was prepared for everything and anything. We will truly miss working with Connie, we are so grateful to her and her team for everything!
Connie was the absolute BEST wedding planner we could’ve asked for. Her years of experience made the wedding planning process seamless and she made us feel like we were fully taken care of from start to finish. These were the important reasons why we knew we picked the right planner: Preparation & Diligence: Connie was ALWAYS organized and prepared for all of our meetings from the introduction call to our last wrap-up email. This made the planning process less intimidating and efficient. Wedding Vision & Recommendations: Connie's expertise was invaluable; she not only secured the highest-quality vendors but also leveraged her extensive experience to ask the right questions and propose creative ideas, truly bringing our vision to life. Fully Taken Care of: Connie made the entire process stress-free. Her confidence and can-do attitude ensured everything was handled, and she will always advocate for us Positive Vendor Feedback: ALL of the vendors that we hired spoke HIGHLY of Connie and made sure we knew that we were in great hands with her as our wedding planner. It says a lot that even vendors LOVE working with Connie because of how organized and diligent she is. We wish we can do it all over again to work with her one more time! Please please consider Connie as your planner - you will not regret it at all.
We hired Connie for her full planning and design package, which included a year of planning plus day-of coordination, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start, Connie made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. She provided clear, thoughtful recommendations for vendors, offered valuable advice for bringing our ideas to life, and ensured that every detail worked together seamlessly. On the wedding day itself, Connie was just as impressive. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly and on time, while also making sure we had everything we needed — from food and drinks to outfit changes. We barely saw her during the event, which is the ultimate sign that she was doing her job perfectly. Beyond her skills, Connie was simply a joy to work with. She is organized, compassionate, and honest. She broke our year-long planning journey into manageable phases, was flexible with our busy schedules, and was always available — day or night — to answer questions and offer reassurance. We truly had the best day of our lives, and we credit so much of that to Connie’s expertise and dedication. We recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who wants their wedding to be as joyful, beautiful, and effortless as ours felt.
Planning a wedding is no easy feat and we definitely didn’t know where to start except that we needed a wedding planner 😅 After our first meeting with Connie, we didn’t even bother interviewing other wedding planners. Connie's bubbly personality and her work ethic made it an immediate YES. And we are so thankful that we picked her as our wedding planner ☺️ Connie has a wealth of experience in event planning and has a curated portfolio of exceptional vendors who she has previously worked with and recommends. This was an enormous weight lifted off our shoulders!! Connie created a wedding portal for us and helped us organize related documents and files into a shared drive that we could easily reference back to. She took the time to personalize the wedding portal and provided helpful guides such as shopping for a wedding dress. After each meeting, Connie drafted up a summary of what was discussed and upcoming tasks with deadlines. This was incredibly helpful for someone who thrives off of to-do lists! There are so many moving parts in a wedding but we didn’t feel worried at any point because of Connie’s attention to detail. She covered every part of the wedding planning process and also included pointers to minimize challenges that other couples faced in the past. Connie’s sincerity, level-headedness, and patience is what made the wedding planning process a success. Her guidance and support were truly a blessing 🙏
Connie was an absolute joy to work with. The main reason we wanted a planner was to have someone who could handle all of the day-of logistics; our Big Day went extremely smoothly, with Connie checking in enough to make us comfortable without it feeling like too much. The day went off without a hitch, and we were able to be fully present in the moment; we truly could not have done it without Connie’s guidance. We had a custom planning package that included some vendor sourcing and design help as well. We really liked that we were able to pick and choose her services to get a custom package that perfectly fit our needs. We LOVED the vendors that Connie found for us, and having her handle most of the communications with them freed up so much of our time to focus on other aspects of wedding planning. It was also reassuring to know that Connie had worked with many of our vendors before. We did most of the planning with Connie virtually; we actually didn’t meet her in-person until our rehearsal. Yet Connie was such a strong communicator throughout the process that this wasn’t an issue at all. Connie’s design work was also invaluable. We obviously have never planned a wedding before! But Connie gave us somewhere to start and helped us hone our many ideas. We had a unique venue that presented quite a few design challenges, and Connie helped us find the right balance of celebrating what made our venue special while staying true to our relationship and creating an all-around beautiful event. We would definitely recommend Connie to future couples looking for a planner and/or day-of coordination!
