Chelsea is your absolute best friend from the first second of talking with her! She took my disaster of a situation & helped turn it around within minutes - she took time to listen to me and never stopped going the extra mile.

"Chelsea did an amazing job helping us plan our wedding. She’s so knowledgeable and had plenty of vendors to recommend. That was such a relief because everyone I found online seemed to be wayyyy overpriced or booked up. She also was very active and supportive. She did check up calls and texts to make sure we were on top of tasks and on schedule . Hire her! She’s awesome!"

"So many wonderful things to say about Chelsea!! I am so glad I chose her as our wedding coordinator! She was very easy to work with and so kind. She makes you feel super comfortable and confident through the process. She was thorough which helped us feel ready for the day. She was quick on her feet to handle anything that came her way. We could focus on the special day without worrying. Chelsea was a huge blessing to me and my family!"

"She was my go-to girl. She actually listened to me when the planning became too stressful and even treated my own family as they were hers too. I felt like she didn’t see me as just another client but also saw me as her friend and I could really tell how important our wedding was to her as it was to us. She’s genuine, professional, prompt & very sweet! Even during times of wedding unexpectedness, she took initiative in making last minute decisions when I was not available and I felt completely comfortable for her to make those decisions because she understood the vision of our wedding very well."

"Chelsea was AMAZING to work with. Our wedding was just yesterday, and I’m already hearing from my vendors, family, and guests about how amazing Chelsea and her team were to work with! As the bride, you don’t even know what’s going on behind the scenes, and that is what makes Chelsea so great! I knew I could trust her to make sure things were all in order so I could relax and enjoy every single moment of the day with literally no stress. It was so amazing. She wasn’t just amazing the day of either, she has been with me every step of the planning process! I can honestly say I was a pretty stress free bride and Chelsea definitely contributed to that! I highly recommend!"

"I found Chelsea through a local girls FB group, and from our very first phone call she put my anxieties at ease! I’ve only been to a handful of weddings, so I was kinda clueless to all the finer details, and Chelsea was there to guide me every step of the way - from her trusted vendors list, to helping with decor the day of - and everything in between. We had a smaller wedding - but Chelsea made me feel just as important as all of her other brides. I’m so glad I trusted her, and would recommend her to anyone needing planning/coordinating services!"

"Chelsea coordinated my wedding in TWO WEEKS!!!! This woman was amazing. She handled everything flawlessly and made sure we had everything, even things I didn’t even think about. She was fun to work with, professional, and handled everything and took all the stress off my *now* husband and I. I can not recommend her enough. If you need a wedding planner, she is the BEST!!"

" Hiring Chelsea was absolutely, hands-down probably the best decision we made at the beginning of our wedding planning journey. Even though my day job requires a high level of detail-oriented skills, wedding planning will really test your abilities in those areas and having another person (i.e., Chelsea) to ask questions, bounce ideas off of, and then of course handle the unexpected on the big day was a huge help in lightening the load of wedding planning and execution. I really cannot recommend Chelsea enough or more highly. Thank you SO much for helping to ensure our day went so smoothly! "

" We can not say enough good things about Chelsea McBrien Weddings! Ever since our first conversation, Chelsea was super professional and eager to make our wedding vision come to life! Chelsea made herself readily available to us at any time and was honestly a life saver helping us pull together the last bit of planning for our big day. All the vendors she recommended were equally amazing and she was in constant communication with all of them so we didn’t have to worry about finalizing all the details with them on our own. Chelsea and Kirsten were on top of everything the day of and made it so stress-free for us! These ladies are great at what they do and also super fun to work with. Would definitely recommend Chelsea McBrien Weddings to anyone needing any wedding planning or day of coordination! "
