"As mother of the bride, planning a wedding from California for a daughter and future husband living in Houston, and marrying on the Eastern Shore was no easy task! Tho’ I loved my part, the details needed, so I could enjoy the wedding day, were handled so wonderfully by Rebecca Thomas. We met by a phone conversation and from that time 6 months earlier, I absolutely knew she was going to be the right wedding planner for us! So willing to help out w all the different vendors, positive and gracious and full of life, that “service with a smile” attitude, Rebecca was the best we could’ve ever wanted. I only wish we could promote her in a more personal way. The gift she gave us in helping to make our daughter’s day so magical will be a lasting memory."

“We were so pleased to have Rebecca Thomas involved in the details of planning the recent wedding of our daughter at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. She was happy to take on any detail large or small so we could all focus on enjoying the big day. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or other event, and we will hope to use her in the future as occasions arise!”
Florence // Mother of the Bride
"Danielle and I met Rebecca while looking for a venue to host our wedding reception. We found that her enthusiasm, attention to detail, creativity and awareness to our wants and needs made our experience in planning our wedding very enjoyable. Rebecca always had great suggestions on wedding details and designs, while not exceeding our budget. Rebecca's organization and timeliness created a sense of comfort for us, when most couples planning a wedding feel stressed. Rebecca's greatest asset was understanding our vision of our wedding and bringing it to fruition. We highly recommend her!"...

"My husband Mark and I had the pleasure of working with Rebecca Thomas to plan our wedding this past August [2015]. I had heard from many people that wedding planning can be stressful and that complications always arise. Non of this was true and all of it was thanks to the professionalism and diligence of Rebecca. Our planning began in the Spring of 2014. From the beginning, we had a timeline of events. She spoke with experience an confidence, and with an incredible balance of flexibility. Her timeliness in answering questions and requests was something I have never seen. Every time I had a question, she answered nearly immediately. I'm not even sure how that is possible, but she managed to out-do herself with every step. Not only were the two of us beyond pleased, but also every family member and friend that she interacted with made it a point to come up to me and share how impressed they were by her. I cannot find the words to recommend Rebecca Thomas enough. I worked with many vendors over the 16 months of our engagement, and Rebecca's professionalism, attention to detail, attentiveness and knowledge base was unmatched. She is a valuable asset to any event."...

"We are still walking on air after the dream-like engagement party for our daughter and her fiance´! The reason our party was such a smashing success was our event planner, Rebecca Thomas. From the very start, Rebecca was everything we could hope for and more. All throughout the year, Rebecca helped us plan every detail. She assisted with the vision for the event and made each decision better. Rebecca helped us with our selection of the best DJ, the best photographer and the best florist. She helped us create a beautiful room with unforgettable linens. Rebecca answered every email and every phone call in a timely fashion, from beginning of the year when there were just a few phone calls, to the month before the event, when I deluged her with phone calls. Rebecca always exuded a calm, cheerful, optimistic confidence that our event would be an affair to remember, and that in turn enabled me to feel the same. Our event was perfect! Our friends and family are still talking about it, and most importantly our daughter and son-in-law said it was the party of a lifetime. Rebecca is an extraordinary gem, and I can't thank her enough."

"I was confident that I didn’t need a planner. I am wildly organized, detail-oriented and have plenty of experience managing large projects (in fact my now husband referenced my OCD-like organization in his wedding vows!), plus, I thought this was a great place to try to save a little money in the oh-so-expensive wedding planning process, right? Wrong! I simply had no understanding of the warp-speed at which the night would pass and how much pressure it would relieve to know that we had Rebecca by our side, executing all of the details we had discussed and managing the hiccups that inevitably arise! From the first moment we spoke to Rebecca, I was at ease- she has years of experience and as we talked through our thoughts for the ceremony and reception on the first phone call, it was clear she wanted the day to be perfect for us, valued the vision we had and was able to use her expertise to suggest a few tweaks that made the day run more smoothly! I can’t tell you the relief I felt when she would email to let us know she was there if we needed anything.
Rebecca was also a saint dealing with a hostile employee at our venue and some eccentric family members! She made it clear from the first call that she was here to make my now husband and I feel supported and to advocate for what we wanted. She was amazing. She made it a point to get to know both of our families by name and was able to keep everyone in the loop, alerting us when the big events were upcoming so everyone was prepared and onsite, adjusting the schedule as needed when we were having so much fun and wanted a few more minutes and ensuring that all of the vendors were coordinated seamlessly. At one point in the evening, we realized that the candy that had been purchased for the ice cream truck had been delivered to the after party location off-site- Rebecca offered to go, but we told her we’d feel so much better if she stayed with us, so she let the ice cream truck vendor borrow her car to pick up the supplies he needed! That’s incredible, and what’s even more amazing is we didn’t even know that happened until after the wedding- she didn’t want us to worry about anything, so she just took care of it so we could enjoy the reception!
Hiring Rebecca was hands down the best decision we made while planning our wedding. She is not only an incredible planner, she is an amazing person with great energy and abundant positivity. We hired a planner and in the process made a remarkable friend. Thank you, Rebecca, from the bottom of our hearts for all you did to make our wedding even more magical!"
