The Bride and I

April is the best! I hired her for help the day before and day of our wedding at the Cree Estate and she was worth every penny!
While I had gathered everything together, made arrangements with vendors and had a rough timeline, April was the key to pulling everything together. She is calm and collected but also sweet and nice. Plus since I live in LA and didn’t know the best local vendors, she was so helpful in the months leading up to the wedding in locking in my hair and makeup team and a few other loose ends.
We had a few conference calls, and a walk thru at the venue and she produced a perfect table map and timeline. I instantly felt at ease!
She ran our rehearsal so well and on the day of I was able to just relax as she handled decorating and getting everything and everyone where they needed to be. She has an excellent way of keeping everything on track while making you feel totally at ease. After the reception, she and her assistant got everything into the house in a super organized way, making it much easier to pack up the next day.
Plus when the police showed up multiple times about a noise complaint she handled it so effortlessly when I asked her about it she said not to worry at all :)
Highly recommend her to anyone needing some help on their big day, she’s wonderful!

I can not speak enough positive words about April of The Bride and I! I hesitantly called her not even sure if I could afford a wedding planner but after seeing her website, I had a good feeling. We set up a time to chat and she made me feel so comfortable with her no-​pressure business sense and passion for weddings. I knew right away that April would be essential to making my wedding day perfect (especially since I lived out of town and didn’t know vendors in the Palm Springs area). She was worth the money we spent plus about a million dollars more! We started working together about 7 months before the wedding. She played a huge role in helping me book local vendors that she had worked with and by getting me the best deal possible. She helped me with everything from going over all of my contracts, meeting me several times to go over all aspects of the wedding and reception, brainstorming with me to come up with wedding design concepts, coming up with a timeline for the rehearsal and wedding day… and most importantly making my wedding day go as smooth as possible! All of my friends and family instantly fell in love with April and trusted her to make sure everything was taken care of. She made my fiancé and I feel like we were the only couple in the world getting married (of course we knew we weren’t) and that our day was important. Definitely use The Bride and I! You won’t be disappointed!

Shot-​gun wedding, minus the pregnancy and the shotgun, anyone? Or perhaps you are engaged and planning your wedding like a normal person (unlike me) and looking for a coordinator who is going to give you the attention you need when you are one step away from becoming a Bridezilla? Trust me, it happens to even the most saintly. No need to fret, April is there for you! She will listen carefully, ask you all the right questions, follow through promptly and thoroughly. She will be your best friend.
This is not an understatement, as my man and I decided to get hitched in a week. I called April two days before (from LA), confused and bewildered on a Saturday! I still can’t believe she not only graciously called me back but gladly took up the challenge of our small but very important day. April got us the most amazing photographer, beautiful flowers, a fabulous french resturant to exchange our vows (and to have dinner after). Last but not least, she coordinated the best officiate I could dream of, who through a conversation the night before, gave us a moving and personal ceremony. To top it off, the price for everyone’s services was exceptional.
I can’t sing April’s praises enough. If you are considering the Palm Springs or surrounding area for your wedding, check out «The Bride and I» it’s a top quality service that stands above and beyond the competition.
