We are beyond grateful for the incredible experience we had with Bretta as both our wedding planner and officiant. From the very beginning, her professionalism and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that our day was in the best hands. She thought of things that never even crossed our minds and approached every decision with our budget in mind, which we truly appreciated. Her officiant services set the perfect tone for our ceremony—beautiful, heartfelt, and exactly what we envisioned. We didn’t want to write our own vows, and Bretta guided us through the process with such ease and sensitivity. At the same time, she’s wonderfully flexible for couples who do want to write personal vows, ensuring the ceremony feels uniquely theirs. Bretta made our wedding day feel seamless and special, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to our family, friends, and anyone reading this review. She is truly exceptional.

As the mother of the bride, I cannot say enough amazing things about Bretta with Weddings by Bretta. Having a professional wedding planner and wedding coordinator made all the difference for our daughter’s wedding at The Barn at Bay Horse. From the planning stages to the day of the wedding, Bretta was organized, calm, and completely on top of every detail. As a mom, you want the day to be perfect for your daughter, and Bretta made that happen. She kept everything running smoothly, communicated clearly with everyone involved, and allowed our family to actually enjoy the day instead of worrying about logistics. The wedding at The Barn at Bay Horse was absolutely beautiful, and Bretta’s coordination behind the scenes made it seamless. She truly cares about her couples and their families, and it shows in the way she handles every detail. If you’re looking for a wedding planner or wedding coordinator, I highly recommend Weddings by Bretta. She goes above and beyond to make the day stress-free and unforgettable.

Bretta Thompson went above and beyond to make our day absolutely amazing! She took care of every detail and made the experience stress-free and beautiful. What meant the most to us was how thoughtful she was in including our daughter, Delaney, in every part of the day — making it extra special for our whole family. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience!

My husband and I asked Bretta Thompson to marry us for our August 2025 wedding at the Biltwell Event Center and we couldn't have had a better experience! Bretta is warm, approachable, professional, discreet, and provided a calming presence to our day. She helped us to customize our wedding script/vows and was so responsive to any questions or concerns we had. She is incredibly experienced as an officiant and knew exactly what we needed for our ceremony to go smoothly. Bretta is so insightful and helped make the best suggestions for our ceremony to be amazing. We couldn't have had a better person marry us and would recommend her to anyone needing an officiant or planning a wedding (she does help plan & coordinate weddings as well)! Thank you Bretta, we are so grateful to you!

We choose the elopement package. Bretta recommended the statehouse in downtown Indianapolis. It had beautiful architecture and a gorgeous stained glass dome!! She was on time and she took lots of photos of our special day 😍 Thank you so much Bretta for making our day stress free just as we wanted before we jetted off to Mexico for our honeymoon. ❤️

My wife and I couldn't have been more pleased with the overall experience of our wedding: The cost, planning, officiant (Bretta Thompson), ambiance. The food was great and simple. The bar was full service with very good adult beverages. The venue is beautiful. I highly recommend this venue and our officiant, if you are thinking about marriage. I know weddings can be very costly, but they don't have to be. The non-pressuring staff will work with you within your budget. The photographer was excellent as well. All of our guest loved the practical experience, as we were mindful of their busy schedules and distances they had to drive to come and celebrate our wedding.

We were beyond happy with our services from Just The Two of Us Wedding Services. Our officiant, Trael Kelly, was wonderful, positive, kind, and truly heartfelt. He delivered a beautiful message at our wedding, and we are so grateful he was there to make it official when we tied the knot. Everything went smoothly from the very beginning, starting with our first conversations with Bretta. She emailed a clear timeline of everything, making the entire process easy and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. -Solange and Jeremy

I hired Plum & Poppy for wedding coordination. Everyone on the team was amazing to work with. I received so many compliments from family, friends, and guests about their hard work. Sarah was very quick to respond to my questions and had great advice. Sarah became the main point of contact a couple months out for all of my vendors too. She took care of any scheduling issues or questions which was so helpful. I worked with Erin on the day of my wedding and she was the best. They did not give my dad a bow tie with his tux and she ensured she found one that matched. Erin did a great job checking in on us throughout the day too. She and the other two girls helped bustle my dress which was very sweet of them. I was stress free when working with Plum & Poppy and knew I was in good hands! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and everything I have ever dreamed of. I highly recommend Plum & Poppy!!

I had the pleasure of working alongside Plum and Poppy Weddings as a vendor, and they were fantastic. The wedding was stunning, thoughtfully executed, and ran so smoothly thanks to their coordination. Communication was clear, timelines were well managed, and the entire day felt effortless. It’s always a joy working with coordinators who truly elevate the entire experience. I would happily work with them again and highly recommend them!

My daughter worked with Sarah and her team for her recent wedding. As the mother of the bride, I am so thankful for the coordination, communication and oversight they provided. I truly was able to enjoy the wedding weekend knowing Sarah had it in hand. That is the benefit of the service that Plum and Poppy provides. Thank you so much Sarah!

My Husband and I could not have had the most perfect relaxing day without Sarah and her team. From the weeks beforehand to the last item being cleaned up, Sarah and her team took amazing care of us and all of our friends and family. Sarah knew all of the questions to ask without overloading us with information. Took care of set up and tear down and the whole day was ahead of schedule. If you are feeling overwhelmed at all and questioning whether or not to get help, do it and make sure to use this company!

We reached out to Sarah and her team a year and a half before our wedding date to see if working with them would be a good fit. Luckily, it was a great fit and we had a wonderful experience working with Plum and Poppy! Every step of the way, Sarah was able to help me out with what questions I had and reach out to our vendors with everything we needed. Leading up to my wedding date, Sarah and I had frequent calls and emails with the urgent questions and matters we needed to have. My wedding day was perfect and was everything I had dreamed it would be. When I told Sarah the vision, we were definitely on the same wave length. Come our wedding day, Sarah and her team were amazing. They handled everything that had to do with the vendors, kept our timeline running and made sure everything was perfect from the details of setting up, to helping me with my dress bustle, and making sure our stuff fit into the car afterwards. For any couple looking for a wedding planner, Plum and Poppy is my top recommendation.

We hired Plum & Poppy for their wedding coordination services. Sarah and her team were amazing. I was put at ease the moment we started working with Sarah. She made sure we were on track and answered all our questions. On the day of the wedding I had no stress knowing that Sarah was in charge. She and her team made sure all the vendors were coordinated and that everything ran smoothly and on time. They were so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Running an event that you didn't 100% plan sounds difficult to me but Plum & Poppy pulled it off perfectly. I'm so glad we found Plum & Poppy for our wedding! Thank you, Sarah & team!

Sarah Keeker/ Plum and Poppy did an exceptional day of and more helping my daughter’s wedding run flawlessly. The wedding and reception took place on my property with all the nuances of an experienced venue and all the challenges of home. Sarah and her team executed this event seamlessly even though it was riddled with unexpected features and creative extras. Their willingness and ability to embrace all of the unusual features (petting zoo, knife piñata, a calliope, a lantern parade, DIY floral) is a tribute to Plum and Poppy’s creative spirit and making sure the clients vision is realized. I highly recommend their services. They are professional, smart, experienced and they roll up their sleeves to make sure every thing is done and done well. We could not be more pleased.

After booking our venue, we booked Emily as our full service wedding planner. We worked with her for one year to make our wedding vision a reality. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE. She made the entire process seamless and stress free. We met with her once a month for 1 hour which allowed us to stretch out the decisions without getting overwhelmed. Also, she is extremely knowledgeable and well connected in the Indy area so choosing vendors was a breeze. Even for the times that I had bride freakouts, Emily was always available to ease my worries. Fast forwarding to the day of the wedding, all of our guests were so impressed by how smooth our wedding was and that everything was well communicated and on time! It was absolutely a pleasure to work with her and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.

Two words of advice for anyone planning a wedding: HIRE EMILY. If you’re choosing between wedding planners or skeptical about hiring one, definitely hire Emily! She has done both my sister and I's weddings and we are so thankful we had her knowledge, support, and attention to detail. Emily and her team go above and beyond to help and take care of all the details. She has amazing ideas and great connections with other vendors, so she will create an excellent team for your wedding. She not only has a plan A but also a plan B. On my wedding day, she took care of all the questions and we did not have to worry about anything! She is a DREAM and truly cares about her clients! Emily, thanks for creating the wedding of our dreams. Brayden and I are so happy you could be a part of our big day!

If you are looking for a fantastic wedding coordinator and/or planner, look no further than Emily Ventura. We used her as our month-of/day-of coordinator, and she truly made our experience so seamless throughout the whole process. Emily allowed for us to be able to enjoy the days leading up to the wedding and the wedding day so much more because we knew she was there to help execute our details and plans so perfectly. She is truly so kind, professional and absolutely excellent at what she does. Highly recommend!

There are not enough characters allowed, or time in the day to share how appreciative that our world collided with Emily during our wedding planning process. We are so grateful to have had Emily in our corner. She was the best investment we made in our event planning process. Our only regret is not hiring her sooner. Our wedding was planned from Minnesota for a destination event in Indianapolis, IN. She was our advocate and boots on the ground as we planned from afar. She always made time for any questions we had along the way, she was constantly adding the razzle to our dazzle and the details on our "day of" were exactly what we hoped they would be for our guests. It was so important to have someone who could make our day go as planned, and she went above and beyond. We had unforeseen issues come up 48 hours before our day, and Emily went above and beyond to make sure that we had multiple options in our hands so we could move forward with the most educated information, beautiful considerations, and was able to rally our vendors around the possibilities to make the necessary moves as painless as possible. She is an absolute champion for her clients, and we are forever grateful for her, and will continue to sing her praises. Thank you, Emily. We are so grateful to know you, and really feel like we are leaving this experience with a friend for life.

As a filmmaker who has been serving the wedding industry for over a decade, my only wish is that I met Emily so much sooner than I did. She is not only a phenomenal wedding planner, the best of the best, but she also has the most caring heart of anyone I have ever met and will light up your day every time you're in contact with her! Emily ALWAYS goes the extra mile for her clients and is hands down the funnest and easiest wedding planner I have ever worked with. She effortlessly brings the most beautiful wedding day visions to life and it's simply a joy to witness her thrive in a career she is so devoted to. What an inspiration she is to us all and I cannot recommend her enough on your search for an upcoming wedding planner. Do yourself a favor and hire her ASAP!

Absolutely loved working with Emily for our wedding! She was amazing and we wouldn't have the most perfect wedding without her!! She was patient, responsive, and so much fun to work with. We planned our wedding from out of state and she made the process so much easier. Would highly recommend for anyone needing a wedding planner!

I really don’t know where to start because the extreme that Emily Ventura Designs did to make my wedding a perfect, flawless event is so so vast! The moment I first spoke to Emily and her assistant Alyssa, I knew I was in excellent hands. I happened to pick a venue and wedding date when Emily had another wedding she had agreed end to prior, but at no point did I feel I got less attention or focus. The expectations were clear, fair, and there were no surprises! Because of Emily’s prior commitment. Alyssa was who I worked with after venue selection and the first few months of getting everything g figured out. Alyssa is AMAZING and the correspondence between myself, Alyssa, Emily, and the amazing vendors recommended by their planning services, was always easy to follow and professional. I only had a vague idea of what I wanted for my wedding, but these ladies helped me figure out a good budget, the best vendors, and an amazing aesthetic. Also, this team is just….so kind! They go far and above expectations because they want to make your day special and they understand just how important the whole wedding process is. It is fun to work with them! I HAD MY DREAM WEDDING BECAUSE OF EMILY VENTURA DESIGNS!!! Nothing went wrong and the day of Alyssa was ON IT! I cannot express my thanks enough, and I really cannot advocate enough for these ladies! If you want your dream wedding, you want Emily Ventura Designs!

Just popping in to share vendor to vendor! Paige + Whitley were hired at a wedding that I was also hired at as a photographer and they are nothing short of AMAZING. They made the day go so so smoothly and I never had to worry about a single thing getting taken care of! If you needed something, you could turn around and one of them would be right there. The decor that was provided by them was absolutely stunning and I could not get over it! They will forever be a favorite on my vendor recommendation list!

Paige and Whitley are incredible at what they do! We hired them for my wedding on June 17 of 2023. There are so many details that I would have missed without their help. They were instrumental in designing and carrying out the perfect wedding! They also used their talent and creativity to DIY certain elements which helped save us a ton of money. They basically took my Pinterest wedding board and made it come to life. When it came to the day of, they were AMAZING. Every little hiccup that came up, they were on it immediately. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. For example, my bustle broke about 4-5 times, and they were there to fix it in an instant every time. Everything went so smoothly thanks to these girls. It allowed all of my family and friends to truly enjoy the day and not worry about the details of it all. They were extremely professional, kind, and supportive. We have them to thank for our day going perfectly!

Paige was absolutely amazing to work with! We had the full planning package and we feel that it was our best investment! Paige was with us from the very start. We had access to her 24/7, which really eases the stress levels when the planning process begins. She is professional, friendly, and amazing at making your perfect wedding vision come to life. We had a fall themed wedding that was executed flawlessly from our ceremony to our reception thanks to Paige. We are very blessed that Paige was able to be apart of planning our special day. She is very much a master of her craft. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly encourage and recommend A Moment in Time Event Company. Thanks Paige!

Where to begin? I hired Paige & Whitley to handle my month of/day of coordination. I mainly worked with Paige, as Whitley handled another bride's wedding for the same day – so this is my experience with Paige. Paige is a rock star! She replies back to emails/texts quickly, is organized, and reliable. Since I got married at a private residence I was able to get some preparations done, but I didn't even sweat that Paige would be able to finish what I couldn't. She honestly did better than I would have with some of the set up! We did have some unexpected weather and Paige did a great job communicating/updating me while we waited it out. I don't think I would have been as relaxed as I was if it wasn't for Paige! I highly recommend Paige & Whitley to any bride needing that extra help – even if they don't think they do!

I had an amazing experience working with A Moment In Time! From day one, they were just great. I don't know what I would have done without them – from coming up with awesome ideas to coordinating everything, they are worth every penny. They helped plan my bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, and wedding and did an amazing job with all events. I received so many compliments at each event. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, don't hesitate to hire them!

Paige did our wedding and she went above and beyond. We did a simple backyard wedding on a small budget and she turned it into something we couldn’t have imagined. She helped us everyday to stay on track with what needed done, and came up with unique and interesting things from start to finish. I honestly don’t know how we could have done it without her. I cannot recommend her enough!

Choosing A Moment In Time Events was the best decision we made! There are so many steps to planning a beautiful wedding and I did not know where to begin. Paige is so gifted and creative, she is able to capture exactly what you want and make it happen! Not to mention, we got married right when COVID hit and they helped us stay calm and adjust what we needed to in order to meet the restrictions. I truly got to soak in the wedding day and cherish the memories because we knew that they had everything under control. You will not regret choosing them to help plan your event. You will be greeted with kindness, creativity, professionalism, and true talent. They are the best ❤️

The most amazing all around wedding planner! She is so helpful, professional yet personal, creative, and responsive. I chose to do her full service planning package, as she would help me plan a wedding 12+ months out. Over the year+ of working with her, I loved how quick to respond she was, how helpful in solving/finding solutions to issues, and most importantly how she made the process FUN and stress free. She also made us feel like we were special and you could tell she loved what she did. On the day of the wedding, she was there every second to make sure it all went smoothly. She brought a helper/close friend, Morgan, on the day of the wedding and she had such a positive and friendly energy! We are so very blessed to have had Andrea there to make our day run so smoothly. She’s the type person you want there on your wedding day – positive, genuine, and problem-solving. Couldn’t recommend J2 Wedding Co. more! 🙂

Andrea was just the girl we needed to make our wedding day seamless. Meeting once a week a couple months before the wedding was perfect. She was always reliable which made me feel so at ease on our wedding day, know she had everything under control!! We had some weird issues come up in the planning process with our venue contact, but Andrea helped us feel very justified in our concerns and advised us so well as to how to handle it, what questions to ask etc! It felt like she had our backs through and through, throughout the whole process. I can’t think of anything that went wrong on the wedding day, which I’m sure is a testament to all Andrea did behind the scenes. She’s the best!

We are so grateful for everything Andrea did for us on our wedding day! We started working with her about 8 weeks before the big day, and she was amazing from start to finish. Our at-home wedding came with its share of challenges—wind, sun, rain, and some vendor chaos. But Andrea handled it all with such calm and professionalism. Her organization and ability to adapt to everything that came our way were truly impressive. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our special day without a hitch. We honestly couldn’t have done it without her. She helped make our wedding day exactly what we had dreamed of!

We hired Andrea from J2 Wedding Co. as our day of coordinator and I can honestly say it was the best investment of our special day. She was professional and responsive throughout the entire process, made sure every detail was in place, and ensured that our timeline was perfect. Andrea stepped up to resolve any issue big or small that we encountered and made sure our wedding day was stress free, even helping to take over setting up flowers when our florist had a family emergency. Andrea is truly amazing at her job and we had numerous family and friends who commented on how professional, helpful and organized she was. It it hard to put into words how greatful we are to have had Andrea be a part of our day, as we feel our wedding would not have been the incredible experience it was without her!

Wedding 06/08/2024 Andrea is a QUEEN, her thoughts for details leading up to the day made sure we didn't have any awkward parts in our timeline. Working with Andrea the 8 weeks leading up to the wedding got all the kinks worked out and when she arrived on the day, it was great because she already knew everything I needed. I also have to sing praise on her handling a situation with the florist/décor, she handled it all without me even knowing we had an issue and completely let me enjoy that day, making it even more perfect. I highly recommend Andrea in any capacity of your wedding planning process, so professional and so easy to work with.

Working with Andrea as our wedding planner was an absolute dream! From the moment we started planning, her responsiveness and dedication were truly remarkable. No matter the time of day, Andrea was always quick to respond to my countless texts and emails, patiently answering every question and addressing every concern. Her commitment to making sure we felt supported and informed throughout the entire process was incredibly reassuring. Her expert guidance and thoughtful suggestions helped us make decisions with confidence, knowing we were in the best hands. On our wedding day, everything ran flawlessly. The entire event was beautifully orchestrated, and we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the moment without any worries.

Andrea was AMAZING to work with for our destination wedding. We got married in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina and she traveled down to the island, and made our day an absolute DREAM. Handled everything the day of, and I had the most stress free day. Couldn't recommend enough!
