Booking Natalie for our wedding was hands down the best wedding decision that my husband and I made. I was able to plan my wedding without the assistance of a full wedding coordinator. However, I definately knew that I needed help with the actual day of the wedding. My husband and I wanted to stick to a low budget for our wedding and he did not think we needed a day of coordinator. I went ahead and booked Natalie based upon her experience with my particular wedding venue coupled with a glowing reccommendation that another bride had given to me. At the pre-wedding meeting my husband and I had with Natalie, my husband was easily convinced that we could not enjoy our wedding day without Natalie's assistance. The wedding day turned out absolutely perfect. I enjoyed every second of it and that definately has to do with Natalie handling all of the details and hard stuff. Natalie kept us fed throughout the day - bringing me and my husband food and drinks as we were busy taking pictures and visiting with family before the reception. Natalie intercepted some family drama that was ocurring. I honestly had no idea that there was drama on the wedding day until two days after the wedding! Natalie kept everything under control. My dress had an issue during the picture taking and Natalie fixed it. My photographer decided that he wanted to use a 10 foot ladder for some pictures and Natalie had one for him within minutes. My bracelet broke before the reception and I threw it down somewhere in frustration and Natalie had my bracelet for me at the end of the night. Natalie worked seamlessly with the difficult church coordinators during my wedding ceremony rehearsal. Natalie was so fun and fantastic throughout the wedding that even my some of my husband's groomsmen said that they will definatley use Natalie as their coordinator for their wedding. These guys are definately not marriage-minded at this point so the fact that they appreciated Natalie and all that she did really speaks volumes about Natalie's services. I would aboslutely reccommend Natalie to any bride. Brides should aboslutely have a day-of coordinator if they want to enjoy their wedding day. Natalie is the best for the job.

Natalie was amazing, and as she puts it, the best money we spent! She takes care of everything and completely put my mind at ease so my family, my husband and I could enjoy our special day. Thanks for everything, Natalie!!

JUST HIRE NATALIE. Don't waste time shopping around for a different coordinator. I have been a bridesmaid 17 times and have attended 149 weddings. Trust me, she's good and she knows what she's doing. I take Type A personality to another level. And I was satisfied with her timeliness, attention to detail, honest suggestion and feedback. Many of my long time friends commented on how oddly relaxed and not type A I seemed on my wedding day. It truly was a result of my observation of Natalie buzzing around and fretting all the details as if it were her own wedding that made me feel like I had to be calm and relaxed because she was doing all the worrying for me! People often say that they regret not having had more fun at their wedding or that they should have stopped to enjoy their wedding more-you can't do that if you are stressing about the details, which you will not do if you hire Natalie. It made me sad to have married friends tell me in the middle of my wedding, "geez, I wish I had Natalie as my planner for my wedding." So as Nike so simply says as their tag line...Just do it.

Natalie is an amazing woman to work with! She put together a wonderful and professional team of vendors that I could trust to not do me wrong. She is super detail oriented and for those brides who do not know all the nooks and crannies of what a wedding consists of, she is a valuable asset. My wedding day is my fondest memory and I am so glad I picked Natalie to help me make it one.

Natalie, you and your selected team mates are the best. No details were left out from A to Z. As a father of the bride, I personnally appreciated your professionalism and kindnest, you make my family feel so troubles free all the way; looks like everything regarding this wedding is "Natalie will take care of it". Too bad that we have no more kids but rest assured that we will recommend your services whenever we have a chance with family and friends. Thank you very much once more.

Natalie Vishny is amazing at what she does. She is so organized, meticulous and energetic. My husband and I agree whole-heartedly that our wedding would not have been as wonderful without Natalie in charge of the day's events. The day was perfect and went off without a single problem (not at least that my husband and I were ever aware of.) Natalie and her team are patient and willing to create the perfect wedding of your dreams and then beautifully execute it the day of. I would highly recommend Natalie for anyone who wants to just enjoy their wedding day and watch it all come together and have Natalie and her team coordinating the perfect day.

Natalie was the best! As MOB and having planned our other daughter's wedding over ten years ago, it was a delight to work with Natalie. She was so organized and on top of things that the FOB and I were able to enjoy our daughter's wedding day without a care. She offered suggestions, but let us decide on how we would "spend" our money. The week before the wedding, we were able to visit with our out-of-state guests, knowing Natalie had everything well in hand. She interacted with all the vendors to make sure everything went smoothly and always checked with us to be sure things were done the way we invisioned. She even knew the best places for great pictures at our venue. We have received so many compliments on the wedding. It was a fairy tale day filled with wonderful memories that we will treasure forever! We would recommend Natalie to anyone planning an event as special as a daughter's wedding;)

Our wedding at the Nixon library was a success, and it was because Natalie knew that venue like the back of her hand. She kept vendors to their timeline, and was responsive to every mishap. My brother's button to his tux kept falling apart, Natalie had her sewing kit ready. The bridal party picture was late because of missing family members, she gathered the kids first, tucked their shirts in, and amazingly, they listened to her and the bridal party picture came together. Natalie's good, she's professional, she's the organizer. Her assistants are so kind though. It feels like they exist to make me happy. I needed to get a second hairstyle done, and they walked me and my hooooj dress to the bridal room, while bringing my salad. Natalie's maternal too, asking me why I didn't eat everything (honestly, the corset dress wouldn't let me.) And my now husband got this picture that sums up everything.. At 10:30 the flower girl felt tired. The best man, father of my flower girl, had to take stuff to the car. The flower girl asked her dad to hold her. Natalie said.. I'll take her. And she fell asleep in her arms. Whatever gets the job done, she's there. It's a high adrenaline job, with shots coming from left to right, up and down. You want someone to know the court. Nixon is Natalie's home court. You may have a wonderful wedding planner in mind, or is reading reviews for other wonderful wedding coordinators, but do they know the security guards at Nixon by name? Will the Nixon give them flexibility as they do Natalie (because they trust her after having her there every weekend)? I don't think so. I think you want Natalie, who can show you the romantic path of walking down the aisle thru the processional. You want Natalie, who the Nixon staff confide in. She's lovely. A true professional. She doesn't ever show me that she's annoyed, though I like annoying ppl sometimes. She was the master director of my successful wedding at the Nixon, and for that I just can't thank her enough.

We met Natalie Vishny when we went for a tasting at Jason's Catering in Santa Ana. After our tasting we were in love with the Jason's and Natalie! She has such a warm welcoming spirit and instantly felt like a guiding light on our wedding planning journey! Natalie was full or wonderful advice and creative ideas. She was excellent to collaborate with. Her vendor recommendations were a fit to us as a couple. Through out all of our meetings and conversations she was on top of tasks and always a few steps ahead of everyone else! The day of our wedding, Natalie and her team were on the ball! They were fun to work with! Always smiling! She knew where everyone needed to be and when and how to get them there. She made friends with everyone! We received nothing but compliments about her from our family and friends at our wedding! Even after our big day, Natalie was there with quick responses to any questions I had about gown preservation and returning vendor items. She was a blessing from start to finish!

I highly recommend to any bride thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator to do it. My husband and I couldn’t have done it all without Natalie Vishny. She is such a nice and sweet person and honestly cares about all her couples she works with. There was never a time where we didn’t think we couldn’t contact her on any questions or concerns that we may have had. She is just awesome, awesome, awesome!! That is just the best way to describe her. Hands down that was the best investment towards our wedding we made. My parents and whole party including my in laws loved her. She made you full #1 at all times. She honestly made the whole wedding day run completely smoothly to where we were able to enjoy every moment of our day. She is there for you 110 percent of the time threw out your whole planning of your wedding. All of my vendors loved her professionalism and attention to details. All I can say is “Thank you Natalie for everything you did for us” !!! Love Jerry & Mandy

Natalie was a life-saver. I not sure what we would have done without her help. She handled all of the detail work so that by the time it was wedding day, all we had to do was show up. She's incredibly easy to work with and one of the genuinely nice (as opposed to fake nice) people we encountered in putting our wedding together. And the value we received for hiring her was more than worth the price. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Natalie was fantastic. At first I didn't want to pay for a wedding planner. I wanted to do it all by myself. I am a controlling person. I believe, "If you want something done right, then you better do it yourself." My daughter insisted that I meet Natalie. Let me tell you, my daughter and I met with Natalie and reviewed the services she would provide. I was impressed with her outgoing and friendly personality. We had so much fun planning Maureen's Wedding. She is very experienced in what she does. She is organized and very resourceful. When I saw an example of the timeline for the wedding day, I was sold. I realized right then and there that what I wanted most was to not worry about a thing on my daughter's wedding day but instead deligate that responsibility to someone I could trust. That someone was Natalie. Natalie was in contact with us throughout the whole year. She was there at the churchrehearsal and the whole wedding day. We had the best wedding for our daughter and all of the family and guest enjoyed it. I have no reservation in recommending her to any bride and mother of the bride, if you want your wedding event to come off smoothly without a hitch. Priscilla

Natalie and her team were absolutely amazing at helping me plan my wedding! Natalie is so personable and professional that she is a joy to work with. From the very beginning, Natalie was on top of everything. Any questions I had, she promptly answered via email or telephone. She provided me with several of the best vendors in the business, whom I may never have met otherwise. We had several sit down meetings before the wedding, where she reassured me everything would go marvelously. The timeline she put together was simply incredible. Every little detail (even some that hadn't occurred to me) was planned for and thought of. My mother and I are both control freaks and Natalie was able to let us both enjoy the day. I have no idea how people plan and execute a wedding without Natalie. She was with me, helping orchestrate the wedding rehearsal, where she introduced herself to all of the bridal party and family. She gave my maid-of-honor a ride to the church for the rehearsal and even drove back a half hour to the rehearsal dinner to bring something my maid-of-honor had forgotten!! I can't say enough good things about Natalie. My wedding day was the best day ever and we have Natalie to thank for that. My family and I didn't have to worry about a thing the week and day of the wedding because Natalie thought of everything. My guests still talk about how amazing the wedding was and how everything came together so well. Natalie and her team do amazing work and our wedding was everything we could have ever hoped for. She truly is fantastic!!

Natalie helped us create a picture perfect wedding. All her vendors were amazing - creative, accommodating and offered excellent value. She took care of ALL the details so that we could really enjoy.

Natalie is fabulous. She really listened to what we wanted for our wedding and helped us put together a beautiful event.

Natalie is unbelievable! Hiring her service was the best idea we had for our daughters wedding. Once she was on board, the stress level all around was greatly decreased. Natalie is a true professional. She reviewed all of our contracts, made suggestions and came up with ideas we never would have thought of. She contacted our vendors along with providing timelines (down to the minute) for everyone. On the wedding day, Natalie and her assistants were everywhere, setting up, calming nerves and making sure everyone was where they should be. For an event that seemed so overwhelming to us, Natalie made it all look effortless! Even our photographer (who is booked until 2013) mentioned how wonderful our coordinator was, and they have dealt with many. Natalie is just so positive and energetic and simply fun to have around! When it's time for daughter #2's wedding, Natalie will be the first we call.

I felt so lucky to have Natalie as our wedding coordinator! She was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process, from initial meetings, to running through checklists, to calling and coordinating with all of our vendors, and then to executing the perfect day with such ease and professionalism. She is very talented and has exceptional ability to handle all situations and work with all types of people. Very personable and very nice, and knows how to get things done! I would highly recommend Natalie for any event planning or weddings. She made our day!!!

I am SO thankful for Natalie Visny's services at my sister's wedding! She is incredibly organized and genuinely invested in her brides. She made it possible for me (the Maid of Honor) to sit back and enjoy my sister's wedding. If not for her, I know that not only myself, but also my parents and the bridesmaids would have been concerned with the set up and execution of the ceremony and reception. She was able to wrangle the bridal party and my entire family and clearly communicate what was to come. Her professional suggestions resulted in a smooth, flawless day. Not only that, she kept us on time and made sure that every detail was in place. All night long I heard compliments about her from our guests. Wedding coordinators are often overlooked during the wedding process. Not having a coordinator would have been like having a play without a director. It is obvious that Natalie loves what she does and is very good at it. She was amazing and I strongly recommend her to any bride!

There is not a more knowledgeable, friendly, professional, organized, and upbeat event planner on this planet than Natalie Vishny. Our family knew next to nothing about planning our oldest daughter’s wedding. Natalie took us though every step, showed us all the options, and always had our desires and best interests as her priority. She set-up and negotiated contracts with the best vendors for our event, and along with her many great ideas saved us money in the long run. Truly the most important thing for me in this process was how easy she made it for us, and what a pleasurable, fun and memorable year we had putting this event together. She provided our daughter (and us!) with the wedding of our dreams. Natalie is a joy to work with.

Natalie was wonderful! My husband and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and got married in Orange County. We really needed someone who was an expert on the different venues and vendors in the area - and Natalie knew her stuff! After speaking with us just a few times, she understood exactly what we were looking for and was able to recommend the best vendors for us. Just as an example, our band was absolutely amazing, they brought the house down - and we would never had found them without Natalie. Natalie also made the wedding day a joy. My mother and I (both the anxious type) were extremely calm as we knew everything was planned perfectly - and if anything were to go wrong, Natalie would handle it. She has quite the fan club in our bridal party - everyone loved her! They all wished they had a Natalie in their life.
