If I were to have to pick one word to describe Patti it would be PHENOMENAL! She is an amazing person as well as wedding coordinator/life saver. We used Patti mostly for consultations and picking her brain for her vast knowledge of everything wedding! She went with us to some of our wedding meetings so we were sure we didn't miss anything, and nothing would be a surprise. She helped us with a lot of the detail side of the wedding which was awesome! She was THE GREATEST support system! Patti also did the alterations on my wedding dress. After dropping a significant amount of weight my dress needed a MAJOR overhaul. Patti didn't even flinch the first time I tried the dress on and it was literally falling off me. We had to have several fittings, and Patti put so many hours rebuilding my dress so it was absolutely perfect. No one could tell the dress was totally redone. Patti is nothing short of a miracle. I have mad love for this girl, forever and always! ;)

Patti was the WORST wedding planner I have ever encountered. My husband did a better job planning then she did. On the day of, there were so many mistakes that she made that were basic wedding planning 101. My favorite example: NOT putting my veil down over my face before I walked down the aisle. We had a dessert table and used outside vendors. She never communicated with the hotel about what was needed. She even blamed me and told me I over-ordered, when in reality she never told the hotel what to do and we were left with 7 bakers tray of left-overs. IF she had communicated what was required we would have very little left. She even told us that when she has her binder near her she is secretly looking at her phone and not working the wedding. She told us she kept her phone in her bra and that is how she is able to sneak other text messages. At the end of the evening I asked her for help upstairs (mind you we ended the evening a half hour early) and she refused. I would never ever ever EVER suggest working with her. She is extremely unprofessional. My biggest regret of this wedding was using her as a wedding planner!

Patti is a dream come true! We hired her as a "day of" coordinator, but that is such a misrepresentation for everything she did for us! She was absolutely wonderful, gave us wonderful tips/advice, resources, and just listened when we needed to talk things out. We were debating between two planners, and I am 100% confident we picked the right one. Our outdoor wedding was rained out at the last minute, and she and her assistant Melissa had everything transformed and ready to go in a half an hour - it was amazing! She also had a friend drive from an hour away last minute when my video for the father-daughter dance wouldn't work. I just can't say enough positive things about her - book her now!!

Patti is an amazing wedding planner...and person! She truly loves what she does and it comes easy to her. She was our LIFE SAVER during this process. She made everything so easy and it all turned out so wonderfully!!! She always remained calm and cool during the tough times (when I was driving her crazy). Not only was she the best, most organized planner ever, she was also a great friend. She turned wedding planning into a fun task!

It is hard to quite put into words the amazing happiness that I have for deciding to work with With Love Bridal, but I will try. With Love Bridal exceeded my expectations and more. Patti really envisions your wedding day down to the last detail and makes sure that everything gets done. We could not have had any more comments on how amazing everything was and how every little touch from Patti made the day one to remember. She really makes your wedding like her own and even got to know me so well that she knew what I would like and not like even before I knew! I feel Patti really became a friend to me more so than somebody I hired to help me with my wedding and I feel that it is important to have somebody there that truly cares and wants to be apart of your special day. I would hands down recommend With Love Bridal to anybody and everybody that was looking for a wedding planner and even to those who aren't looking, they should! I don't know what I would have done with Patti and the staff at With Love Bridal.

With Love provided everything and anything my wife and I asked. We did not have to worry about a thing at all that day. At first, I was hesitant about getting a wedding planner but I am so grateful that we did. With Love was worth every penny and more. With Love made are wedding day stress free and so very memorable. We would highly recommend them to anyone getting ready to plan a wedding. Thanks Patti and Mimi!!!

Not a bad thing to say about Patti. We did a good amount of non-traditional things, and not only was she up for it but she had great ideas/contributions as well. Patti became a friend as well as a planner. I'd work with her again for sure (although hopefully I won't have to!).

Patti was organized, knowledgeable, efficient, and so kind. She was the best wedding planner. I would recommend her to anyone. She had fantastic ideas and was so clever.

Now that it is all said and done we cannot put in words how grateful we were to have you be with us every step of the way during our engagement leading up to the big day! You have been a solid rock on a crazy road to the happiest day of our lives. Your attention to detail and how organized you keep everything really played a major role in keeping us on track. I stress easily and you were always there to take me from my highest levels all the way back down to earth! We both appreciated that aspect! The day of couldn't have been more perfect, the room was AMAZING, BREATHTAKING, FLOORED US, and was set up to a tee?our dreams and crazy ideas came true right before our eyes all thanks to your hard work. You brought out our Martini Theme so perfectly through out every piece beginning to end, it was flat out awesome! The church ran so smoothly, beginning with the rehearsal the night before, leading into us meeting eye to eye at the alter. And the coordination of the entire day was right on track you never missed a beat! It has been a little over a week now and people are still talking about our wedding and asking us who the person was that waved her magic wand to make it happen!Not only did you blow people out of the water with the reception and church, but we can?t forget all the stationary items you created for us as well. BIG compliments to you across the board on those! From the start with our save the dates, to our invitations which were one of a kind all of our guests loved them. Our programs for the church, place cards and table numbers all turned out fabulous! You truly craft your items from the heart and it shines through. You worked with us and our budget and we were still able to pull off the looks we were going for!Patti you are every bride?s dream come true and actually every groom?s savior from the bridezilla! With you there are no worries, no doubts, just absolute satisfaction and peace of mind!We love you and thank you so much for making our day so memorable, we will always carry that with us and plan to spread the word of your wonderful wedding coordination gift with friends and family for years to come! Love-Sara & Andrew Valko

At the risk of sounding completely cliche, if I could give Patti 100 stars, I would. She was by far the best money we spent on our wedding, and I would have spent a million more on her if necessary (and if I could afford it!). I was a busy bride-to-be, focused on a new job promotion and frankly not all that into planning my wedding. Patti helped narrow down choices, offer ideas, and coordinated our whole day, which consisted of renting space and bringing in multiple vendors to make it all happen. Patti is ALSO a multi-talented wedding planner! Not only did she take care of our planning, but she also provided my dress alterations, all of my flowers (no kidding, she really did) AND she made the Chuppah for our Jewish ceremony. I knew she had worked in the bridal industry for 14 years, but she really is a jack of all trades when it comes to this stuff. Patti will work harder than any vendor you hire and she truly invests herself in not just your wedding day, but your wedding experience. She's an amazing soul, and not only did I walk away with a wedding full of great memories, but she has truly become a great friend as well. Personally, I think that's the kind of planner you want, especially if you're going to spend 6 months - 1+ year of your life working closely with one person on one of the most emotionally vested days of your life.
