Love Notes

Kind words from happy clients

The greatest joy of our work comes from seeing the happiness on our clients’ faces. Here's what some of them have shared about their experience working with Made by Connie Designs. Their words are a testament to our dedication, trust, and commitment to creating unforgettable weddings and events.

  • "Hiring Connie was the best decision we made for the wedding."

    – Vivian Sun

  • "We had complete trust in Connie's ability to coordinate all of the pieces to our perfect day."

    – Sunny Ng

  • "Connie is seriously amazing!! Having her by our side throughout the planning process (literally since day 1) was one of the best decisions my husband and I made together."

    – Edmond and Evelyn

  • "She wasn't just a coordinator for us that day, but she was also a friend, an advocate, and a blessing."

“She is capable of bringing any vision to life…”

“Working with Connie to dream up, plan, and design our wedding for almost a year was an absolute joy from beginning to end. She is communicative, detail-oriented, honest, patient, and incredibly kind. We feel so lucky we got to work with her, and we know it wouldn't have been possible without her!

She made the entire wedding planning process so manageable. We’re a pretty go-with-the-flow couple that didn’t have a super specific vision, and we get easily overwhelmed when there are too many options. Connie really prioritized what was important to us, worked within our budget, and was flexible with us as we figured out what we wanted. We met with her monthly and left each conversation with clear action items and next steps. In between the monthly check-ins, she answered all our questions (big and small) and advocated for us when communicating and negotiating with other vendors. We felt so taken care of through every step of the process and truly felt like Connie had our best interests at heart.

Connie is the best! We truly believe she is capable of bringing any vision to life, and we think any couple would be lucky to have her as their wedding planner.”

“We were fully able to enjoy our big day. We can't thank her enough!”

“Connie helped us plan and execute the wedding of our dreams! We worked with her every step of the way for about two years leading to our big day. From our first introduction to our last meeting, she was extremely attentive and professional but also personable and a joy to work with! As soon as we met her, we knew right away we were in good hands with someone who genuinely loved what she does. Communication with vendors can be overwhelming for those with no experience in the wedding industry, so Connie communicated with them and recommended the best team for us! Connie also assisted us with making our day uniquely ours by helping us come up with and add personal touches from the cocktail napkins to the table numbers.

Our wedding day went so smoothly - our family and friends were all very impressed and loved Connie's positive attitude! We received so many compliments about how beautiful everything looked and how well everything was planned/timed seamlessly. Because of the trust and relationship built with Connie, there was minimal stress and we were fully able to enjoy our big day. We can't thank her enough!”

“I just knew since the first introduction call that she would be incredible to work with”

“We are so grateful that Connie was our wedding planner for our special day! I just knew since the first introduction call that she would be incredible to work with. She always has a smile on her face and has such a kind and beautiful soul. The mood board and slide decks that she helped us prepare for our moody winter romantic wedding was more than we could’ve ever dreamed of. And seeing the ceremony and reception, all of the planning was 1000% worth it because it was literally more than what we could’ve ever imagined it would look like.

I always appreciated how attentive Connie is and she wants to make sure that both the groom and bride get what they want out of their big day. She is one of those special people who doesn’t just get the job done and do a good job doing it, but she can also do it by not stepping on anyone’s toes. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, especially when planning anything because people can be overwhelmed and emotions are high. She always did an amazing job by checking in with both of us, which for us wedding planning was so fun and just an incredible experience (it was most likely because we had Connie as our wedding planner)!

Our families and friends only had wonderful things to say about Connie and her team! We are truly so grateful that we were lucky enough to have Connie as our wedding planner. Thank you so much for helping us plan the most spectacular day of our lives.”

We really appreciated her attention to detail, from vendor communications to setup logistics. It was especially helpful how she laid out our to-do’s well in advance and made sure to capture all of the items we needed to take care of before the wedding. Her emails to both vendors and VIP’s were very detailed and thoughtful - on the wedding day, even our vendors were impressed with how organized everything was!

Connie was super responsive throughout the entire process, and answered all of our questions kindly and promptly. Most importantly, she made sure to frequently check in with us to see how we were doing personally.

We’re so blessed to have had Connie as our wedding planner and highly recommend her for all of your planning needs!”
