Everyone loves to be commended for good work that they do, for accomplishments, for successes. Everyone loves to be appreciated. When you are told "Good Job" or "Thank you," it just feels good!

The most rewarding part of being a wedding coordinator is the "Happy Brides and Grooms." It is such an honor and privilege to be such an integral part of such a very special time in a couple's life. It is a great feeling to be needed and trusted with such an important day. I love people. I love having the opportunity and pleasure to work so closely with my couples and their families during such a happy time in their lives. I want my couples to feel that everything was exactly as they had imagined, as they had dreamed, as they had hoped and that they could not have asked for more. I love working hard to fulfill their visions and dreams of their Perfect Day. I love making them happy.

These beautiful letters of gratitude, praise and thanks I receive make my job very rewarding and put a smile on my face every day. These letters make me proud of the work that I do and remind me every day that I made the right choice in choosing to pursue a career in the Wedding Industry.

I would like to share their kind words and thoughts with you.

Initially, my fiancé and I resisted hiring a wedding coordinator. We could do everything ourselves, we argued to family and friends. A wedding coordinator was certainly not needed by two organized, efficient people, especially when finances were tight and we needed to stay within our small budget. Plus, I had heard horror stories from friends about coordinators who just stopped calling, or wanted them to go over budget, or just treated them with a snobbish attitude. But I ended up creating my own horror story by spending all of my wedding planning time worried, stressed, and utterly miserable.

When a friend recommended that we hire someone at least for day-of wedding coordination, I met with just one company--Divine Dreams, who seemed more organized on the phone and through e-mails than other companies I had considered. At our first meeting, I felt my trepidation fading away Julie Heth was not only one of the most organized people I had encountered so far in my wedding planning, but she was also one of the smartest, sharpest, and sweetest. She immediately made me feel comfortable, and I felt at ease trusting my wedding to her.

As the date grew nearer, my fiancé and I (both of whom have full-time jobs that often require overtime work) realized that we were totally overwhelmed. We needed help resolving some vendor problems--problems that probably would have been avoided, had we hired a wedding coordinator in the first place! Fortunately, Julie agreed to help us a la carte with specific vendor issues. She saved the day, and her updates and professionalism gave us peace of mind. Plus, her upbeat attitude and sense of humor made working with her an absolute joy!

Looking back over the wedding planning experience, I sincerely regret not hiring a wedding coordinator to take care of the details and leave me to enjoy this wonderful time in my life. But I am so thankful that the last few months of my wedding planning experience were graced by Julie and Divine Dreams. Julie's hard work and wonderful personality let me relax during the last few weeks before my wedding. And on the big day, Julie's confidence and kindness made all the difference.

Thank you again, Julie and Divine Dreams--you did a phenomenal job, and I cannot recommend you highly enough!

Sincerely,
Sarah Rodriguez (now Sarah Pratt)

Julie,

Matt and I cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make our entire wedding day absolutely perfect!  We truly had the most amazing day of our lives - but it would not have gone off the same without you.  You made me so at ease even during all the questionable weather, I knew you would pull it off.  I will always refer future brides to you.  I was one of those people that didn't think I needed a "planner", but now I know it was the best decision I made for the most important day of my life.

Thank you for everything!

Paige & Matt

Dear Brides,

Congrats on your engagement! The planning process can be a very special, fun time if you let it be. I am happy to give a great reference for Julie Kipfer as a Wedding Coordinator.
Julie was truly a God-send. I am a pretty organized and calm person, but I knew the "day of" would be a completely different story. I didn't want my mother or sisters or aunts or bridesmaids working hard during my wedding celebration. I wanted them to enjoy themselves. So, I felt it would be a good idea to have a coordinator for the "day of" and it's the best money I spent throughout the whole wedding process!
Julie is very organized and has "EXPERIENCE", which is important. I've never been married before, but have attended many weddings. Julie's experience in handling the 'details' of many weddings really showed and was much appreciated. She knows what to expect, anticipates a bunch of different outcomes, and has a solution for every problem or 'hitch' that arose leading up to the wedding. For instance, early on, I learned that I couldn't get married in a church b/c my fiance had been married before and a one year annulment would be necessary. Plan B was to get married where we were having the reception. Julie offered great suggestions, calmed my fears, and handled it. No worries!
Since my ceremony & reception were in the same location (Mercury Hall), I was REALLY stressed and worried about 'the switchover' (changing the Hall from ceremony seating to reception/dancing room). She did it flawlessly and quickly! That truly was the BEST part. Can you imagine trying to handle that 'switchover' myself? or have my attendents or family do it??? I actually got several comments from friends and family about how 'well the wedding flowed, without any lulls'.
Other thoughts: Julie listens well. Each bride has different things that are a priority to her, it could be Mariachis, or the father/daughter dance, centerpieces on the table, cultural customs, etc. Julie doesn't try to make you conform to what is typical. If you ask her advice about a particular subject, she has answers and experience, but she never pushes her ideals or customs on you. You can have the wedding that YOU WANT without the stress of how it's all going happen. Julie makes it happen.
Thanks,
Gloria Williamson

To Prospective Divine Dreams Clients:
Planning my wedding was one of the best experiences in my life so far. I knew a lot about what I wanted but needed a little help with the execution of the day. I hired Julie Kipfer to be my “day of” coordinator. She went above and beyond on many occasions to give me suggestions and support when needed. We met a couple of times to discuss the big day. She shared my vision, which was complicated, and when I walked into the hall before the wedding, it looked exactly like I had dreamed of. Julie was prompt, professional, and courteous throughout the entire planning process. My mom was from out of town and Julie really gave her the piece of mind that everything was in good hands. I don’t know about any catastrophes that happened that day. If there were any, Julie took care of everything. Julie and her assistant were a pleasure to work with and I whole heartedly recommend her as an event coordinator. She made my special day a wonderful event for everyone involved.

Julie,

   I don't know where to begin to say thank you for everything you did to help make my day such a "dream"!  From all of the advice, emails, and encouragement (when I felt like a Bridezilla!), I owe you so MUCH!!  I really don't know what I would have done without you!  You have an incredible team who went above and beyond my expectations for the weekend!  I know you all got a workout during my wedding and reception!!

  My family raves that I had a "beautiful, perfect, DREAM" wedding & reception!  I actually even ate, drank and remained worry free the whole time (well, almost the whole time!) of our reception.  It would not have been a "DIVINE DREAM" without you all!!

  I love you guys for all your help during my dream wedding!

-Elizabeth

We can't "Thank You" enough for everything that you did for us and for Chris and Sarah. You did a beautiful job putting it all together and keeping everything on track. The rehearsal and wedding seemed flawless.

Hi Julie-

It has been almost one year since you were the wedding planner for my wedding out at Nature's Point. I have been thinking back and I thought about how helpful you were in planning my wedding. I just wanted to write you a little note and tell again thank you for everything that you did.

You were so organized, up beat, and especially kind to me during that incredibly stressful time. Chad and I are so thankful about everything that you helped us with. From the frantic phone calls and emails to you fixing my dress just before I walked down the aisle. Everything went just as planned. I can't thank you enough!

So a year later, thanks again for everything. I hope you are doing well. When my friends start getting hitched in the Austin area, you will be the first name that I mention to them.

Love,
Abby Sellers
