We hired Michele as our wedding coordinator and it was worth every penny! She was thorough and VERY well organized - which was a big plus for me. Her detailed wedding workbook took the stress out of planning our wedding. We felt respected and heard throughout the planning process and our wedding was a true representation of exactly what we envisioned. She was quick to return phone calls/emails, happy to support our officiant (it was his first wedding), and incredibly kind to all of our vendors, family, and friends. Thank you for helping us plan the best day of our lives!

Katie is absolutely AMAZING. It's thanks to her my wedding was everything I imagined! She's so kind, patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. I seriously can't recommend her enough! From our first meeting, her enthusiasm and attention to detail made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. She took the time to understand our vision and executed it flawlessly, creating a beautiful and seamless wedding day. Every aspect, from the decor to the timeline, was perfectly organized. Our guests are still raving about how wonderful everything was. If you're looking for someone who is professional, creative, and genuinely cares about making your day special, Katie is the perfect choice!

My husband and I worked with Emily and she did an incredible job! She was super responsive, detail oriented, calm, and on-top of everything! She made our wedding happen at a non traditional venue which required a lot of flexibility and she helped us make it happen! We hired her on as a day of coordinator but she helped us well in advance to make sure all our vendors were prepared in addition to the wedding venue itself. She was great working with our wedding parties and our families as well. We can be a bit loud but she respectfully got everyone's attention to make sure everything went as planned. Id highly recommend her!

"We cannot thank you, Katie, and the whole WG team enough for giving us the best day ever and for making our dreams come true.  We cannot stop talking about how perfect the whole day was and it wouldn't have been possible without you all.  All of our guests also told us it was one of the best and most beautiful weddings they have ever been to!  Katie is an absolute rockstar, we coudn't have asked for a better coordinator!  She is organized, personable, kind, INCREDIBLE at her job and just an overall wonderful human.  We love Katie!"

11/10 for Emily Katz of Mia Bella weddings did an absolutely amazing job. Our wedding went exactly as we wanted it and Emily was crucial to making that happen. Her creativity alleviated concerns we had with potential for clashing family dynamics, and the whole event went off so smoothly.

We are beyond grateful for our incredible planner, Leeron. We could not have imagined a better wedding day and so much of it was thanks to her.
Throughout the wedding planning process, from the start, Leeron was not only amazingly knowledgeable and supportive, but she was also so ecstatic for us as a couple. On our wedding day, there were multiple times where she went above and beyond supporting me as the bride. ...At every event throughout the day she was one step ahead of us at all times. As someone who was very nervous and hoping everything went well, I felt so confident and reassured by her. It made planning so so simple because of her amazing communication with us, and between us and our vendors. At the end of our wedding we had multiple friends ask if Leeron would help with their future weddings! We are eternally grateful and loved working with the most kind person in the industry."

"Hi, Katie - Thank you so much!! We are still in shock our wedding day came and went so quick! We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Honestly we had nothing to worry about that day and we were able to enjoy every minute of it. Thank you for making sure everything went smoothly and we were taken care of! Everything was perfect and our guest are still telling us the great time they had at our wedding! Thank you so so much for making this easy for us and for your dedication to making our day that much more special!! Just as we were recommended to you based off of your work we will definitely share your amazing support and work with others. Thank you 🤍"

"We had the pleasure of having Emily as our coordinator and she was nothing short of amazing!Leading up to the wedding she was always available for any questions we had.  During our wedding she stepped up in so many ways and made our entire day go smoothly without any bumps. It was such a pleasure having her apart of our special day and anyone would be lucky to have her as their coordinator!!"

Emily was our coordinator, and she did an amazing job!!! She was new when we first started working with her, but she exceeded our expectations. She is professional, organized, communicative, and has great time management skills. Emily helped make our wedding day perfect! We had a lot of DIY decorations that she helped set up, and everything turned out amazing. She even decorated our cake because the bakery forgot to, and it was beautiful! My family and bridal party raved about how great Emily was as well. Thank you, Emily!
Michele, the owner is amazing as well!

"I wanted to send my personal gratitude for everything on our wedding date earlier this month on 5/10. It was everything and more that I could have dreamed of and that truly speaks to the amount of effort you and your team of vendors puts forth. From everything I experienced during the day and everything I have heard from guests is that it went smoothly and for the very minor hiccups that I was aware of they were resolved seamlessly and stress free. 

Katie, you personally made my day so easy and made me feel so at ease. I very much appreciate how often you checked in with me and Matthew making sure we were enjoying ourselves and being there for us with anything we needed. 

I wanted to especially thank Katie for helping with and going along with the receiving line idea. I heard great things from guests as they thought it was a very personal touch and it went much smoother than we had all expected! 

Thank you again to you both and all the vendors, you made that day truly the best day of our lives and I couldn’t thank you enough for what that means to us." 

"Katie, thank you for everything! It was amazing working with you and we had an absolute blast on our wedding day! Thank you for all your hard work leading up to and during our wedding day! We could not have picked a better wedding coordinator! Our wedding day was exactly how we envisioned, thanks to your awesome work!"

Where to even begin. Michele is INCREDIBLE. We were married at Walnut Grove and Michele knows that venue like the back of her hand. She orchestrated the whole day so flawlessly, with her super calm demeanor, her positivity and her efficiency. When things got off track with other vendors for the timeline, she kindly shifted things back. When I sat on some charcoal and had black smudges on my dress, she calmly ran to get 4 different types of spot remover to get it out. When I had a panic about our first dance being too late and wanting to lose the cake cutting, she talked me off a ledge and made everything work out so smoothly! She truly was a priceless hire for my day. And even leading up to the day she was wonderful. She had a workbook that helped me think of EVERYTHING for the day of, as to not miss one piece of the planning process. We had 3 meetings (some over the phone) leading up where she helped me figure out how we wanted the day to go, which decorations we were going to use or not use, literally everything you could think of. You cannot go wrong hiring Michele, she was a godsend and one of my favorite hires of the whole wedding. I’d give her a full 10/10, no question.

"We are still barely coming out of the post wedding haze. What an amazing night. We feared fires, extreme heat and people getting lost and in the end, it all worked out beautifully. 

The day would have been impossible without you and the meticulous care you took before and during the day. I can’t imagine the level of coordination and everything was so beautifully laid out on the tables, around ceremony and beyond. You are really doing a huge public service by offering your wedding planning support and we’re so lucky to have been a beneficiary. You went above and beyond in so many ways. 
Thank you, Emily and the whole Mia Bella team for such a special day <3 "

My husband and I held our wedding at Walnut Grove on May 6, 2022, and we had the pleasure of working with Katie McJimsey as our coordinator. I was very particular when it came to details, décor, and flow of the wedding, our main concern was that we didn't want to miss any part of the party and celebration. We wanted to thoroughly enjoy "our day" with all our family and friends as this was the first BIG gathering since COVID, and we wanted our Parents to do the same!

We had a large group of guests with a big Italian family and at times it can be very difficult to coordinate to ensure everything runs smoothly and on time with our family, and Katie did an amazing job at making the day ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! I put my full faith in Katie to make sure our personalities and preferences shinned through our details and she nailed it out of the park. Her level of communication was amazing, if any issues arose she remained calm and handled the situation!

The preplanning and coordinating were also smooth sailing working with Katie, my mom and I did a lot of the wedding planning ourselves before speaking with her but she was able to guide us in the proper direction with her expertise in logistics, and flow, and experience working at Walnut Grove. I provided a lot of my own décor for the wedding and she advised me on how to properly organize it all to allow her to work efficiently and fast the day of.

Hiring Mia Bella Weddings and having Katie as our coordinator was worth every penny! She made such a big impact on our wedding day, and we can't stop getting compliments on how perfect the day was!

Katie, your work was 100% appreciated not only by us but also by our guests! Thank you again for making our wedding one of the best days of our lives!

I don’t even know where to begin, words cannot describe how amazing Katie is, she is an absolute GEM! She really did set the bar so high. She is professional, communicative, organized, and so responsive (the list can go on). My family and friends are still raving about how amazing she handled everything from before the rehearsal to the day of the wedding. She went above and beyond! We had quite a few personal decorations and DIY items for her to manage on the day-of and she did it flawlessly. She captured our vision so well and took a huge weight off my shoulders. Katie truly managed everything from beginning to end and put so much care into our wedding. She was there for us every step of the way. I couldn’t imagine anyone else to coordinate our big day. She is an absolute perfection! Katie helped make my vendor selection a breeze and she worked so well with all of them and truly made my day run so smoothly. Even with the little bit of rain (yes it rained in May) in the morning, she kept everything under control. 

Michele is a wedding goddess and we could not have been more lucky to work with her. She is AMAZING at what she does. She is extremely organized, professional, responsive, kind, understanding and knows exactly what she is doing.
She took so much stress and pressure off us throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was always pleasant to work with and was always on top of it. Always. The day of the wedding she was incredible and went above and beyond. There is no one better!

We got married at The Walnut Grove in June 2019 and had the pleasure of working with Katie as our day-of coordinator and I can't imagine having a wedding without someone like her!
I absolutely loved planning my wedding, doing all the research, etc. but once the day actually arrived I swear the last thing you want to think about is the schedule! From our first meeting until the end of our wedding, Katie was extremely helpful, kind, and easy to work with. She helped us narrow down a lot of the small details that you can't really deal with until closer to the date, and the day-of timeline she created was amazing. On the wedding day, Katie made sure that everything was set up as planned, down to the smallest items. During the reception, she kept everything moving forward smoothly, even when things had to be shuffled around. Your wedding day is really a whirlwind, and having someone like Katie there to guide you through the day is a lifesaver--through family photos, the special dances, cake cutting, even making sure we got to sit down and eat our dinner! We had a very positive experience working with Katie and Mia Bella Weddings, and I would definitely recommend their services to friends!

We just got married at Walnut Grove a couple weeks ago and was connected to Leeron through Mia Bella and I cannot speak highly enough of her! From the moment she first emailed us to our wedding day she answered all our texts/calls extremely quickly and she was always incredibly kind and helpful. We had two in person meetings and both times she made sure to answer all our questions and go over everything in detail so we were always on the same page. She kept a running a workbook via google docs where every detail was documented and shared with us and we continued to make changes to it until everything was settled. It was so nice to be able to visually see the timeline and all the details and thanks to Leeron everything was very clear and organized. On our wedding day she went above and beyond to make sure all the working parts were in order, vendors were set up, decor was placed, and everything was PERFECT! If anything went wrong then she did a great job at hiding it! She worked so hard to make sure we had a perfect wedding all with a smile on her face! Would absolutely recommend Mia Bella and Leeron! :)

To jump straight to it, my wife and I had an absolute dream wedding at Walnut Grove. We originally planned to have our wedding in September 2020, but given the pandemic, we moved it back to August 2021. We worked with both Michele and Katie for coordinating our wedding and they were both so kind, caring, and helpful. Katie with her magical workbook helped us to create a timeline for the day that catered to our wants and needs while making sure no detail was overlooked. I cannot imagine a more difficult wedding to try and plan for given the pandemic so they deserve some sort of ribbon for the extra blood, sweat, and tears they endured for making this day possible. We cannot emphasize just how amazing Mia Bella was and how well our wedding turned out.
We had 110 guests come to Walnut Grove for the wedding and they all told us how seamless and beautiful the day was. Katie was our day-of coordinator, and she was an absolute legend by keeping the day tightly scheduled without ever making us feel rushed. We know Katie did her job flawlessly since we were able to hand off all tasks and were able to focus on enjoying the day completely. It truly was a dream come true of a day. I will forever advise all my friends and family to hire experienced wedding coordinators like Katie and Michele since they will allow you to fully enjoy the wedding you deserve.

Katie was our coordinator for our wedding on 10/8/21, and she was a pleasure to work with. She's very organized and responsive. We had our wedding at Walnut Grove where she is extremely knowledgeable about the venue, their policies, and how events typically flow.
With her experience at Walnut Grove, it was great to have a default, "this is what we typically do," for the stuff we didn't really care about, so we could make a quick decision and move on - Katie provides that perspective perfectly. She was also totally up for making adjustments and tweaks to the norm that ultimately reflected our personalities and preferences on our special day. By booking your coordinator with Mia Bella Weddings, all of the wedding planning that happens months (maybe even a year+) in advance is still going to fall on you, but having their expertise to guide you during those months, answer questions, and then really begin coordinating logistics and timing a month before through to the day-of made our wedding day less stressful. The thing about a good coordinator, like Katie, is that if they're doing their job right, you probably won't notice their impact on your wedding day, but just know that it's because they're intercepting and solving any problems before it even gets to you. Because of Katie, we could really focus on enjoying the day and being with each other and our friends and family. This is exactly why it's worth adding a wedding coordinator to your budget, and why I absolutely recommend going with Mia Bella Weddings.

Katie was my coordinator this May 2019 at Walnut Grove and I can’t say enough lovely things about her. Not only is she incredibly sweet and so easy to work with but so organized! She confirmed every vendor and made sure everyone knew where and when they should be. The week of my wedding it was set to rain on my actual wedding day, so Michele and Katie came up with multiple plans and layouts for me to chose and help ease that the day would be beautiful and go as planned. They had plan a, plan b, plan c - all ready to go depending on the weather. Katie is the best coordinator out there. All my wedding party loved her and she made my wedding a dream. If you are hesitant about hiring a coordinator, there is no question that Katie is essential to making your day perfect. I could not have done it without her.
