Angela,

Thank you, you're the best. We can't thank you enough for helping out and taking over the wedding. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our day and not worry about who was going to do what. You were amazing. We don't know what we'd have done without you. You really are the best. No bride should plan a wedding without YOU!

Jacklyn and Benjamin - Bride and Groom

Angela was immensely helpful and made invisible all the small details that would've added up to be quite overwhelming-especially when we'd just moved and had two large family emergencies the week of the wedding. Everything leading up to the weekend was timely and professionally taken car of;even when some folks wouldn't work with us, she turned them around and surprised us more than once, including saving us money.

Angela even led us to an incredible caterer right when we were ready to settle. The reception set up was exactly what we wanted, very elegant and welcoming, and the glass of cold water when we entered from 100 degree heat was almost as good as the chocolate ganache icing on the cake. In some ways it was more like working with a friend than a business, so thank you!

Jennifer is her business, as in "In The Details." And she's a cool customer. Whatever snags or goofs may have occurred (and you probably know they always do on wedding days), Adam and I didn't know about them. And our guests were never the wiser. And that's part of what Jennifer provided for us: peace of mind.

We knew from the moment we hired her that we were going to have a wonderful day. As it turns out, we had the lovely, elegant, intimate, and spectacular day that we'd imagined.

Jessica and Adam.

Dear Jennifer,

I am writing this note to say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for helping us achieve the wedding of our dreams.  As a father of the bride, I know it's unusual to be so involved.  I just happen to like order and organizing things and my sweet wife lets me take over.  The wedding was spectacular in every way.  The venue of Broken Sound Country Club, the flowers, the food, the ceremony, the party ... thre isn't one single thing we would have changed or done differently.

The help and guidance you provided us was phenomenal.  You are a true professional; always available, always confident, and always full of meaningful suggestions.  You organized the timeline so everyone knew how the day would progress.  You were flawless ... a pleasure to work with, unflappable, totally in charge with out being overbearing.  We are so thankful that we found you. 

Again, our heartfelt thanks for making Lonni and Andrew's wedding so amazing

Stephen Bittman.

To say that Jennifer was pivotal to the perfection that was our wedding would be a tremendous understatement. The creativity, seamless transitions, perfect orchestration, and total professionalism were second to none. It was her assistance that took the overwhelming weight of getting married off of our shoulders and freed us up to have the time of our lives. Our wedding would never have been what it was without her. She is the best investment any couple could make in ensuring the perfect day.

Mark Paterson - Vendor/Client

Ode to Angela Brant,

I had the pleasure of working with Angela for two consecutive years during the Indy Car weekend in Richmond, Virginia. The first year I worked with Angela, our mutual client hired Angela to assist him in finalizing the details for his client / vendor incentive event. She was brought in mid-stream and once on board, she hit the water full steam ahead. I do not think our client realized just how much he needed her until he had her. Her contributions that first year, in terms of my connection with the program, ensured a successful and enjoyable experience for the client and his guests.

In the second season I worked with Angela, she was involved with the process from beginning-to-end and it showed. Her attention to detail, dedication to her client and interaction with the other vendors, myself especially, truly showed her level of professionalism. As the Conference Service Manager of a five-star, five-diamond hotel, my clients have very high expectations for their programs. Angela was a true asset in helping me to meet and exceed this client’s needs regarding the on-property experience of his guests. I have no doubt that Angela’s contributions to our clients overall incentive program extended far beyond my property.

Angela was a professional, personable and dedicated event planner who I would gladly work with again and certainly hope to do so.

I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for Rob and I. You made my day so special and stress free!!! You have an amazing gift and you make everything look so easy. I can't thank you enough. Our wedding suite was absolutely beautiful!!!

What I would like to say.....

Angela is the craziest coolest person I know. Did you ever see "Father of the Bride?" She is likely a crazy nutzo gay wedding planner. Except for she's a straight woman with an adorable little boy. Once Angela enters your life or in this case, your party, you will never be the same!

What I will say
(and have been meaning to say for over a year now).....

Angela,

Thanks again for another wonderful wedding. Once again it was so much fun to work with you and your staff. I know, by definition, event planners should be organized and on top of everything. Sadly, it isn't always the case. When I know I am going to be working with you, I know my job will be a lot easier on so many levels! I know ALL the details that may possibly pertain to me well in advance of the event. Sometimes I don't even talk to an event planner until the day of the event. Secondly, I know that if I have any questions for the client or another vendor, I can call you and get an answer promptly. Finally, your fun personality and thorough orchestration of the event makes me look forward to working with you. All of this adds up to a wonderful day for our client and allows me to concentrate on my craft and produce the best production I can.

I look forward to working with you again soon!

Alexis and Michael Peterka - Click for full size imageHi Jennifer,
 
Thanks again for the wonderful job you did at our wedding. Peace of mind on your wedding day is priceless, and you provided it. You thought of all the things I didn't and made sure they were taken care of so I didn't have to. We had a great time and were really able to enjoy ourselves, thanks to you.

The best money I spent on the entire wedding was spent on hiring you!

I don't think I could have done it without you.

Thanks for everything Jennifer! Don't think we could have handled ANY of that without you.

I hope I never have to use you for another one of MY weddings, but I will recommend you in a heartbeat.

Deana Blanford - Mother of the Bride

Jennifer,  I wanted to share this picture with you. Deana Blanford and Daughter - Click for full size imageI would have not been in this picture if not for you. I would have been running around trying to make sure everything was taken care of for our daughter's wedding day.

I had no idea how I was going to take care of all that needed to be done on the wedding day. And I knew I did not want to miss a moment of that day.

Thank you for all you did to make the wedding day perfect. I was able to relax and enjoy. And the best part. My daughter thinks I did it all myself.

Truly Grateful,
Deana Blanford - 7/30/05

Stacy Pope and Matthew Salerno - Bride and Groom 

Stacy and Matt Salerno, Photo by - Click for full size imageJennifer is a Goddess! And without her, my experience as a bride would be filled with stress and craziness. I highly recommend her as she really listens to what we have to say and every time we throw another crazy idea at her, not only does she encourage us to get exactly what we want, but she seems to have the right contacts for everything!

She is always there for me, at any hour it seems. She has never imposed in any way and also has great advice for saving a few dollars here and there!
WE LOVE HER!!!!!

Jamie Johnson and Karl Liebman  - Bride and Groom 

To Whom It May Concern:

Jennifer truly came through on my wedding day and also on pre-wedding planning. She reduced stress significantly for me and my husband.

During meetings with the florist and band members, she was confident and tactful. I have found that many party planners are highly strung themselves, as they are responsible for an overwhelming amount of orchestrating. However, Jennifer always kept a positive, calm attitude. In fact, we ran into a few problems a few days before
Jamie and Karl, Photo by I Shot the Bride - Click for full size imagethe wedding, and she handled them efficiently, thus relieving us of anxiety.

She also has an invaluable knack for listening to a couple’s vision of the wedding and accommodating that vision, not her own. I recommend her by all means! I am convinced that my wedding would not have been nearly as beautiful and detail-oriented without her.

Barry and Justyna Austin - Photo by Susan Hornyak Photography - Click for full size photoAngela is our hero! Because of outside circumstances we had only three months to plan our wedding, and we wanted it done right. It wouldn't have been possible without her! She listened to our plans/ suggestions/dreams and made them come true. When we asked for vendor ideas Angela introduced us to some of the best people in the business, and when we imposed our choice of caterer (brilliant but difficult) she worked miracles to make it all come together.

She also negotiated lower prices whenever she could. Together we planned a wonderful celebration. Always cheerful and supportive, she made it seem like coordinating such a complex event is a piece of cake. She took care of everything behind the scenes so we could enjoy the beautiful day of our wedding!

How Angela and her staff managed to get a 40’x 40’ tent up in the middle of the night in the rain blew us away. Every detail was taken care of.  All we had to do was enjoy the day!

Cory Clements - Mother of the Bride 

I was nervous about hiring a wedding planner. After the fact, I do not know how we would have done it without you.  What I paid you to coordinate my daughters wedding was nothing.  You should charge at least $200.00 an hour for your service.  

It is truly worth every penny for the piece of mind you gave me, my daughter and the entire bridal party and our family.  You handled everything we made one call, you were our one contact, and my daughters’ wedding was one extra special event

Cory Clements - Mother of the Bride - 4/23/05

Mike Short - Vendor/Client

After working with the folks at In the Details Events Orchestration on several occasions I would recommend them to anyone putting together a professional, recreational, or personal event.  Not only have I had the pleasure of working personally with Angela Brant I have also been an attendee at several functions ITD coordinated.

Without exception the events ITD coordinated were among the best organized events I have had the pleasure of being apart of.

Susan Hornyak - Photographer 

Susan Hornyak Photography - Click to go to web siteI have had the pleasure of working with Angela Brant on two different weddings. In both cases she made my job so much easier by being extremely detail-oriented and specific about the photographic needs of the couple. I knew exactly when and where all photos would be taken, how much time was to be allotted for such photos, and what photos were to be taken at specific times.

She worked with both the bride and me to determine the photo requests of the bride and the time needed to take such photos. Before both events, I received an incredibly detailed timeline of the wedding day events and from this knew everything I needed to get my job done.

Angela is a joy to work with. She is extremely personable, very hard working and makes us all realize that we are a team whose job it is to make the day perfect for our clients. I hope I have the pleasure of working with her again.

Angela has opened my eyes to a whole new side of event planning! I have never worked with anyone more professional and thorough. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, as she always returned all of my calls and emails promptly, it was like she was always ten steps ahead! It is with my highest regard that I would recommend her to anyone interested in planning a stress-free event.
