Wedding Planning, Event Planning & Floral Design

In short, Lina Wallace is awesome. I am a cynic when it comes to almost everything, and I am extremely busy, but I have to take time to let everyone know how professional and effective she was. We used the 'unlimited access' service from her - and I don't know how to convince this reader that is was worth every penny and more. I'll admit I am a do it yourselfer and a tightwad, and I normally would plan my own stuff, but for this, we were time constrained, and just ask her, we brought her so many a scheduling and worry issues, even to the last minute. But after getting to know her and her ability to problem solve, I felt so much safer that the event would be pulled off without a hitch. Poor thing she had to mediate and solve all the problems, and she was so professional, and adept at handling any little snag, and dealt with various personality problems, vendors, clergy, everybody amazingly. We got so many kudos even from guests ON THE WEDDING PLANNER!!!?!!! and how great she and her staff were! During the planning any trivial question texted or emailed to her had a response within an hour or two. Always returned calls within MINUTES. Always smiling. Don't know how she does it. You can be as involved in detail or not involved at all and pretty much let her suggest everything. We both liked her taste. She made everything so easy for us, kept us informed, and made us feel in complete control the whole time. A true professional, I am sure she can easily handle true divas and high profile people. (No offense to anyone)

Thanks Lina for making our day as perfect as it was!!! I know my wife feels the same....(and BTW I was against the idea of a wedding planner and gave my wife grief at first about it....I already apologized.)

Dear Lina,

Where do we start? Thank you so much for all your hard work and for helping us put together a day that was more wonderful than we ever could have imagined.

As you know, we had planned an outdoor wedding and the morning of, it rained (for the first time in months!). At first, I panicked but then realized you had already handled everything and had moved our entire ceremony indoors. The signs you had made gave our guests direction on where to go and added a nice touch in the lobby.

I found out after the wedding that there had been a mix up with an extra table and that you had handled it before anyone even knew what was going on.

We are still receiving compliments on the flower arrangements and tables and I can't even tell you how many times we were asked for your information.

The entire day was so much better than we ever could have imagined and no one would ever believe what our budget was. We were very impressed by the way you worked within our budget and came up with beautiful alternatives for the decorations. The fruit display was a great idea.

Please feel free to have anyone call us for a reference because you were the smartest choice we made in planning our wedding. You are the only wedding planner we would ever refer!

Again, thank you so much for making our day truly exceptional."

We had the pleasure of working a wedding with Lina and her girls and it was awesome! A lot of times we shoot weddings and the coordinator isn't available, isn't present and can't help out. She was on top of every last detail down to bustling the bride's dress! The reception was absolutely gorgeous and it was a flawless day!

Hi Lina,

Thanks for everything. The 1920's party turned out wonderful. It was nice being able to enjoy myself and not worry about the details.

Thanks again,

Dear Lina,

Thank you so much for keeping our big day running so smoothly and my nerves calm. Because of you, I was able to fully enjoy every moment of the wedding from preparation to the trip back to the hotel. Our wedding was that of a fairytale. I doubt that it could have run more perfectly. Please feel free to give out my number to use as a reference.

Deepest thanks,
Trisha and Gerald Nester

Lina,

For our grand opening I wanted fun, entertaining and not to have to do a thing as the hostess....thats just what I found by hiring you, A Stunning Affair. You helped design the theme, create the invites, found and followed up with all of the vendors and executed the day perfectly. I could not have been happier.

Dear Lina,

The words "thank you" can't begin to convey my sincere gratitude for all that you did to make our wedding day so special and memorable. Your keen attention to detail, creative touch, vast knowledge and extreme professionalism made the entire process from day one go so smoothly. There is absolutely no way we could have done it without you - especially on the wedding day! You thought of EVERYTHING, including all the details for the day after! We will be forever grateful. Please know that we would welcome every opportunity to be a reference for you!

Hi Lina,

It was so nice to meet you yesterday at Ruta's wedding. You did a great job coordinating everything- it was all so beautiful! You are very sweet, I can see why Ruta wanted you to be her coordinator. You have a tough job and do it so well! Thanks for being so helpful and answering my questions about the timeline, etc. and taking care of us! ?

Thanks again,
Sloan

You are so sweet Lina! We could NOT have done it without YOU!!!!! It's amazing how smoothly everything went that day, and please know that we know that you had a TON to do with it. : ) We had the most amazing weekend celebrating with family and friends. I wish we could do it all again. Also, thank you so much for getting everything to our house Saturday. What a huge help.
I hope to hear from you soon.

Much Thanks,

Lina was excellent! I got married this past October and both my husband and I agree that our wedding came off without a hitch because of Lina. She was always available for me to run ideas by her. Line kept in touch with all my vendors and kept me on top of things. Because of Lina, I was able to have a many restful nights and enjoy my wedding reception to the max.
Lina is just perfect!

Lina,

I just want to tell you how much we enjoyed the wedding, thanks to you!
I would highly recommend anyone use you as you are as anal if not more than Brienne and really handle questions well. I know Brienne had the wedding she always wanted and so did I in that I didn't need to worry about anything. I will also say for your future clients that both the photographer that Brienne used and the caterers were great. We heard about the great food from many of our friends. I was personally floored by the photographers having a sampling of the photos from the shoot in the afternoon at the cocktail hour.

Thank you for making Brienne's memorable day, truly memorable and hassle free for us. All Frank and I did was show up and then ask you if we had any questions.

If you want your wedding to be as carefree and perfect as humanly possible, its simple hire Lina and her staff at A Stunning Affair. Ill be honest. I am a very detail-oriented woman that works constantly on deadlines and being more efficient. In short, Im a wedding planners nightmare. I had met with or spoken to several wedding planners as soon as I became engaged. What stood out about Lina before I even met her was her quick response, friendliness and professionalism. When she met me in a person just a few days after I first contacted her, I knew it right away, this was the woman that could make my dream wedding come true. The worse part for her was, there were only a few things I was actually sure that I wanted. Lina helped me figure out every little detail. And really, most of the details I didnt even need to worry about because she took care of them. She always really listened to my ideas and suggestions, but gave awesome suggestions and ideas from her years of professional experience. She even gracefully and quickly responded to my random freak out emails at 3am. She was always one step ahead of me. Which honestly, Ive never met a person that could even keep up with me, much less already have thought about and taken care of any concern I might have had. I am one of the few brides that could spend that last few weeks before her wedding relaxing and focusing on my upcoming marriage with excitement not worry or concern. The day itself was the most impressive. Linas team was absolutely exceptional, they were ready for anything! All the while making sure that their #1 priority was that my husband, myself and my family were happy and carefree. Honestly all any of us had to do was show up, any question we had, Lina and her team were on it. Im SO honored and lucky to have had Lina and A Stunning Affair help me plan my wedding. I can honestly say it was PERFECT- and for me to say that, it really was!

Thank You Lina!!!

Lina and her team from A Stunning Affair, did a fantastic job of keeping things moving smoothly, creating a beautiful event, and making sure there was no stress to be found. Lina was the epitome of what couples hire coordinators for!

I had the pleasure of working with Lina and her staff at A Stunning Affair. At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to hire a wedding planner/coordinator because I thought I could handle it on my own. I am so glad that I called Lina. During the initial consultation, she gave me many ideas and really got me excited about the big day even though it was over a year away. Lina is very detailed oriented like myself so she made sure that everything was perfect. She is very quick to respond to questions and concerns through phone calls and emails and made me feel at ease about everything. I felt no stress the day of the wedding because I trusted her to take care of everything. I knew that all of the details would be exactly as we had discussed during our meetings and they were. While looking at pictures of the wedding, I was able to see all of her hard work and dedication to our event. The pictures came out beautiful because of all of her great ideas that I never would have thought of on my own. I received many compliments from my guests on the decorations and flowers. They took everything home with them including the escort cards, table numbers, and menus. I had my dream wedding come true and I could not have done it without Lina and her staff.

Hi Lina,

Thank you so much for all of your hard work. You were perfect. Everything went so well and looked amazing. It was such a special day for us, and you were a huge part of that. I can't even tell you how many compliments we got on the event, as well as our day of coordinator.

I can't believe how composed and on top of it you were, even though you got in a car accident that morning! I hope everything is okay with that, and that you and your car are ok.

We were so happy that we were able to work with you, and we appreciate your hard work, your patience and your sense of humor and composure. It was truly a sincere pleasure both getting to know you and having you work with us.

We will definitely send you pictures when we get back!

Love,
