Revel & Wonder Weddings

You NEED Wendy and her Team

Leaving this review will never do justice to the incredible service that Wendy and her team provide. During the planning process Wendy assisted us with vendor selection, tracking payments, planning our budget, creating a timeline, and was a great resource for all the weird un-googleable questions we had (or never even thought of). Wendy is an expert in the market and her familiarity and experience with hundreds of vendors is a service you can’t put a price on. I would pay for Wendy’s service 100x over just for how helpful it was to have her help us plan everything, but her team SHINED on our wedding day. Hiring Wendy to coordinate our wedding day was the greatest gift we could have given ourselves and our families. Everyone had the privilege of feeling like guests of honor while Wendy’s team seamlessly ran the show. For us and our parents, it truly got to be a stress-free day focused on family while Wendy’s team handled all the vendor coordination, execution of the timeline, and logistics from setting up the decor at our venue, being the point of contact for vendors, and the best part - having my parents’ car fully loaded at the end of the night so no one was rushing around picking up or taking an early morning trip back to the venue. Make your wedding day about YOU and let Wendy and her team handle the logistics - it will be the greatest thing you do for yourself and your family.

I've known Wendy and Matt for at least 10 years. I've been a photographer for 16 years and I've worked so many weddings with Wendy I've forgotten how many. Wendy always delivers. She goes above and beyond. One wedding she setup an entire tent at the family home, there's a lot to coordinate including inclement weather/a plan for the ground etc... we've worked weddings in the city and weddings in the country together. Some weddings had a little family drama, and Wendy defused the situations. Wendy is so great at communication, she checks in before the wedding day and makes sure everyone is on the same page. She's savvy and makes people revel! ;) Thank you Wendy for everything you do! People sometimes don't realize they need a planner until day of or when it's too late, I always try to educate my clients about the value of a planner. Hire Wendy and Matt!

Wendy (and her team) were the perfect planning partners for our wedding. Wendy helped us stay organized, calm, and moving forward at each step in the process. She provided invaluable expertise – helping us identify decisions and options that we would have completely overlooked – and helped us prioritize our focus and tasks in ways that reduced our stress and kept us on track. Wendy is a complete pro and connected us with vendors who were professional, highly competent, and helped us achieve our vision. Her guidance on everything from quality to pricing was spot on. Our wedding vision was nontraditional, but Wendy rolled with every twist and turn we threw at her with grace, creativity, and skill. Importantly, she also brought a great sense of humor that was essential in bringing down the intensity of the planning process. We interviewed a number of planners. We could not have made a better choice. Wendy exceeded our expectations and we give her our highest recommendation.

We were so happy with our choice to work with Wendy & her team! Our wedding day was relaxed and enjoyable - she handled all the day-of coordination with vendors & cultivated a timeline that aligned with our priorities. The planning tools she provided us with were a great guide for our event and our meetings with her provided extra guidance and kept us on track. Thank you, Wendy!

The most well deserved five stars! Wendy was incredible from the initial phone call to our wedding day. We were looking for a planner who was incredibly organized, well-connected with local vendors, friendly, experienced, and a good balance between accommodating our needs while also guiding and pushing us away from things based on her experience. Additionally, a couple things made our wedding challenging: 1) Our venue was in an area an hour outside of St. Louis not regularly serviced by vendors 2) The venue had never held a wedding before 3) Our wedding was outdoors 4) We were planning from out of state 5) Our wedding was more like a multi-day vacation for our family and friends involving charter buses, multi-stop tours across several days. Wendy turned out to be a perfect fit for us. She helped us research vendors and went through multiple back and forths to figure out how they could come out to the venue. She helped us figure out our plan A, B, and C in the event of rain, she read through our contracts and let us know when anything looked overly expensive or uncommon. She listened carefully to our desires for the wedding and found vendors to fit our budget, aesthetic, and mood, all of who turned out to be incredible. On the day(s) of the wedding, we had to navigate the tornado, vendors' trucks stuck in the mud, and to be honest it all went off seamlessly with Wendy's guiding hand. There were tons of vendors coming to and from the site all day long and we as the bride and groom honestly didn't have to pay attention to a thing, which is saying a lot because truly everything had to be brought into this site (it was a glamping location). Wendy is extremely organized, detail oriented, and most of all I appreciated how deftly she both encouraged our choices and let us know if something seemed more trouble than it was worth. It was so nice to feel like you could really trust her guidance and she was always looking out for our best interests! Her timelines and communication with the vendors were amazing so we didn't have to think about a thing leading up the wedding. She turned what could have been a really chaotic day into one in which all we had to do was enjoy our time with friends and family. She was so thoughtful in every detail, offering to bring little bits that we had forgotten or didn't think about (an easel for display, a fan for me in case it got too hot, a megaphone so we could play games with our friends). She helped us figure out details as small as the length and number of extension cords to buy, and how many splitters to go along with it. She always gave us multiple options for things when I was feeling indecisive (sorry and thank you Wendy!! 😆) and patiently and easily swapped things around if we changed our mind from the tablecloths to start times to the entire tent. She checked in with us and made sure we knew she was always available for a call, text, or video chat if we needed it. Truly, 100% recommend Wendy to anyone planning their wedding. She was a beacon of calm, decisiveness, knowledge, and experience throughout the process and we are so grateful to her for realizing our vision! My husband and I can genuinely say it was the best few days of our lives -- thank you Wendy!
