Belle Mariée - THE BEST IN THE BIZ
Where do we even begin?! Joan and the Belle Mariée team are just absolutely out of this world!!!
First off, Joan rescued us when we were a few months out from our wedding. We were with another planner prior, someone charging TWICE as much, who was an absolute nightmare to deal with. For most people getting married, it’s your first (and hopefully only) time, so naturally, you don’t know what to expect. You don’t know what’s proper. So, it took us far too long to realize a planner not responding for weeks at a time, shooting down your ideas and forcing her own, essentially forcing you to plan your own wedding, and charging for full wedding planning when her only intention is to do day-of-coordination is NOT normal and not okay.
Thankfully, Joan descended like an angel into our lives and was a complete 180 from that! We never went more than a day before getting a response from her or one of her amazing team members. Honestly, WE sometimes took longer to reply to them than vice versa!
She was SO supportive of all our ideas, so helpful at organizing the vendors we wanted, and full of wonderful suggestions for wedding elements we weren’t yet sure of. She came with spreadsheets that guided us to think about literally everything we needed to think about, and was SO SO organized and on top of everything, it was incredible. She made us feel safely held and taken care of, which is exactly how every bride and groom should feel when their wedding is approaching!!
Then: the day of was just SEAMLESS. Her team are so experienced, so fun, so kind, and so full of wisdom. They KNOW what they are doing! They made it so neither my wife nor
I had to think about ANYTHING on the day, they coordinated every single second perfectly and made our wedding absolutely, unforgettably magical and the utmost best time of our lives.
They are an actual DREAM to work with, and the value they provide is so extraordinary and beyond money. They felt like family to us throughout, except better because a lot of our family members won’t care about us as much as the Belle Mariée team did!
We wish we could get married again just to have the pleasure of having them plan it!!!
Thank you Joan, thank you all so much!! God bless you all and keep you and we can’t wait to see you next time we’re in Cebu!! <3
P.S. Do NOT listen to the worry on here about double bookings! It’s tsismis that got out of hand.
We brought this up with Joan: it happened only once because there was a couple who had to reschedule their wedding due to unforeseen circumstances. Joan told them that there was another wedding that day so she wouldn’t be able to be there for too much of it and they agreed. The Belle Mariée team is the pinnacle of professionalism and will never do anything with you that isn’t clearly communicated about and agreed to!
