Orangerie Events

Priscilla came as part of a package deal with the original venue we selected for our wedding. Every time I mentioned her name, other vendors and brides would rave about her. When the venue we originally chose went out of business, we took Priscilla with us! Our October 20, 2013 wedding was absolutely perfect. Whenever anyone would give me pre-​wedding advice, they would always say that something would be bound to wrong on the big day, but to just smile and go with it… well, they were wrong. Absolutely nothing went wrong, everything was perfect, and I know for a fact that this is because of Priscilla! We hired her to be our day-​of coordinator, and she was always on hand to help me with any questions or concerns I had. That was one of the things I loved about working with her – even though we hired her as the day-​of coordinator, she went above and beyond those duties. She was considerate in working with our budget, met with us to check out the venues, offered vendor suggestions, helped with décor planning/​layout, coordinated with our photographer, took care of the rehearsal as well as set up/​break down, etc. On the day of the wedding, I did not lay a finger on anything… she brought two assistants with her and the three of them
took care of everything! When she revealed the barn (reception venue) to me, I was amazed at how absolutely stunning it was. She had done everything I could have imagined, setting the tables perfectly, tying all the chair sashes, and even hand-​writing our 120 guest seating chart on a chalkboard she brought. She even brought a vintage dresser for us to use as a gift table! She thinks of everything! From fluffing my train before I went down the aisle, to tying the «Just Married» sign on the back of the carriage, to pouring our wine and bringing us plates of food, to breaking down and cleaning up everything after it was over… she thinks of things and does things that you would never think of or remember to do. Working with Priscilla was wonderful. She’s sweet, friendly, creative, resourceful, professional, communicative, and just so darn good at what she does. I know that our decision to hire her was the best thing we could have done for the wedding, next to saying «I do.»

Forgive me for allowing my Midwest character to come through — the woman gets sh*t done.
Priscilla truly made our dream wedding come true. As a couple planning a wedding in North Carolina from Chicago, we needed someone that could be our leading lady the day of, but also help us with design & coordination leading up to the big day. After only a few conversations across several months, she came to us with a proposal that was dead-​on (it was as if she had read my mind). And it all came together beautifully the day of, from the flower arrangements, to the table assignments, to the ceremony décor — beautiful little details.
Its also important to mention that Priscilla ended up saving us a lot of money with regard to rentals & florals, thanks to her rock-​solid little black book of connections, and her vast collection of decorative items that are yours at no cost when you use her design services.
And the (not really) negative: I found myself worrying when I didn’t get quick responses from her months before the wedding, but everything was happening behind the scenes. She even agreed to help assemble our wedding cake (for me, a cost-​saving tactic), which was as romantic & beautiful as I had dreamt it to be. Also, a bit of advice — get your program together as early as you can — ours didn’t end up getting printed in time because we only sent it to her 2 weeks out. Our fault for being indecisive on readings!
Thank you, Priscilla, for a gorgeous wedding and for keeping us at ease on the best day of our lives. I envision getting my vows renewed in 20 years and hiring you again just so I can work with you :)

We hired Priscilla just a few months before our fall wedding & we absolutely fell in love with her. The first thing we really noticed (and LOVED) about her was how prompt & prepared she was. She was early to all of our meetings which is a big plus!
She was very attentive & got to know us so that she could incorporate aspects of our personality into our ceremony. Every little idea she came up with thoroughly impressed us. She worked very well with our budget, using her various connections to get us the highest quality at the lowest price. She spent alot of time listening to our ideas and making suggestions.
Our ceremony was a dream come true. Priscilla saw to each detail so that we were virtually worry-​free the entire day. She is amazing at what she does and is destined for greatness in her field. For someone so young, she is extremely dedicated, professional and passionate.
We would recommend her for any event you plan on having people talk about for weeks, months & years!
