Michelle Durpetti and her team helped make what was supposed to be the best day of our lives… THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES! She helped make everything we were asking for during our magical week happen and then some. We will be forever grateful.

"she goes above & beyond to make sure every detail is perfectly in place"
Michelle is exceptionally personable, she goes above & beyond to make sure every detail (literally even down to my last hair) is perfectly in place & she does it all with a sense of calmness & fun! I will never be able to express my gratitude & true appreciation for Michelle & her wonderful team. Truly our wedding weekend was the most fun, stress-free & incredible time of our lives…The team is exceptionally professional & talented beyond words – they bring magic to life! My husband was hesitant about having a planner + team & at the end of our weekend, he was a firm believer that it would not have been possible without Michelle. I cannot say enough words other than THANK YOU. You & your team are one in a million!

"Michelle is a fierce mama bear with exquisite taste & a heart of gold"
10/10 recommend hiring a team that knows how to make your dreams come true (even in a pandemic)…when I sat down with Michelle I already knew she was the person for me. Michelle is a fierce mama bear with exquisite taste & a heart of gold, exactly what I needed. In the midst of the madness that was last year she never made us feel like our fairytale was out of reach. She supported our decisions, championed us when we got discouraged, & vowed to make our 50 person wedding everything we could ever want, despite Covid.
