Bristol was a joy to work with. We hired her when we were only 5 months out from our wedding and she jumped into action as our day-of-coordinator. As we started handing things off to her and the date got closer, we realized this was the best investment we made for our wedding day. Bristol was able to reassure us, coordinate with our families, and stay calm when things were hectic. She is very well organized and communicative, the documents she provides will help make your wedding day run smoothly. My husband and I have been in weddings with other coordinators and none of them have compared to how well prepared Bristol was for our wedding. Her and her team ran our almost 200 person wedding smoothly and when we arrived to our venue after the ceremony, we were so pleased at how everything had been handled and set up. Could not recommend her enough!!!
HIGHLY recommend Sustainable Soirées and Bristol for any event planning! Bristol is so organized and experienced with weddings. She truly made the whole process seamless for us and thought of every little details so we wouldn't have to. Everyone told me I was the most relaxed bride they've ever seen and that was all because of Bristol. During the planning process, I could text/email Bristol with my questions and she would always respond so quickly. She helped us with our ceremony rehearsal and most importantly made sure everything ran smoothly the day of. Her team always let me know that they were there if I ever needed support. I had the whole team bustling my dress at one point! Most importantly, Bristol is such a sweet and kind person, which is what you need for your wedding. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone I know!
Bristol and the whole Sustainable Soirees team were incredible!!! Truly the best decision we made was hiring Bristol. We were able to plan our wedding as much as we wanted, but still having a "safety net" of having a professional make sure there wasn't anything we were missing. Leading up to the wedding, we appreciated the monthly check-in calls and emails, Bristol made sure we were on track for getting everything done in time. She promptly responded to all emails, texts, and answered all of our questions! The week leading up to the wedding, everyone said I was such a chill bride, but truly it's because Bristol and her team handled all of the details the month-of. Having her be the contact point person for all of our vendors made wedding planning a MUCH more enjoyable experience. On the day of our wedding, we got to be FULLY present! All of our guests remarked how smooth, efficient, and flawless the day was, and I know it was no accident, but rather a testament to Bristol's hard work and incredible abilities. I loved not having to micromanage the details of making sure everything was set up correctly, or that the DJ got the right cues, or when dinner was served, etc. Also Bristol's extensive planning suite complete with checklists, guest lists, budget trackers, and more was so helpful in the planning process! I cannot say enough good things about Bristol and her team - our day was absolutely flawless thanks to them!
We couldn’t be more thrilled with how Bristol helped us plan and execute the wedding of our dreams turning our vague inspiration into a cohesive and gorgeous vision. Bristol was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had and also helped resolve any vendor issues that arose, all while remaining professional and pleasant. Planning a wedding is stressful and Bristol was a calming presence every step of the way. Working with Bristol gave us so much confidence that we were making the right decisions and we couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. She helped connect us to other sustainably-minded vendors. We would highly recommend Bristol and the team at Sustainable Soirees!
One of the first questions Bristol asked us was what we didn't like about the wedding planning process and the day of activities/schedule. That question revealed so much about Bristol's professionalism, thoughtfulness, genuine curiosity, attentiveness and detailed approach to event planning. We knew we wanted to hire her as our day-of coordinator. Beyond that, when we explained our needs and vision to Bristol, she was up for the challenge. It required communication and coordination across multiple locations and multi-faceted logistics, which were all executed beautifully. Secondly, the team knew several of our sustainability-minded vendors, which was a huge plus for us, as it made coordination and communication easier. Even without those connections, the detailed documents provided helped us stay organized while giving the team the info they needed to ensure everything ran smoothly. We appreciated Bristol's professionalism, creativity, flexibility and support throughout our wedding planning process. Her company's values aligned with ours, which we wanted to display through the various elements of our wedding. She brought it all to fruition and understood exactly where we were coming from. Bristol helped us solidify the vision and execution of our "playful elegance" theme, gave her honest and expert opinion when solicited, ran on schedule, and picked up, set up, and packed up all of the decor items we had. The team even sent us some of the photos they took of our venue and wedding day details, which was a sweet and memorable touch. We felt completely free to enjoy our wedding reception and are so glad we selected Sustainable Soirees. We would absolutely hire Bristol for future events and couldn't recommend Sustainable Soirees enough -- especially for those who care about the sustainability of their event.
