Weddingbee boards

My wife and I were lucky enough to have Downey Street Events plan our wedding in October of 2009.  From the planning to the execution, Lauren and Emily from Downey Street were tremendously helpful, supportive, available, and thorough.  Our wedding ended up perfectly, and I am beyond certain that it would not have been so without the work of Downey Street.

As the groom, all I wanted during the wedding planning process was a happy fiance and the promise that some of the relatively small requests I had for the wedding would be answered.  My wishes were granted overwhelmingly well.  My wife is a super busy lawyer - so busy, in fact, that I am confident that having to plan our wedding ourselves would have caused her head to explode.  Lauren and Emily prevented this.  In fact, they did the seemingly impossible - they tackled head on the overwhelmingly long list of tasks needed to construct our wedding, while simultaneously allowing us, the bride and groom, perfect autonomy in shaping our wedding.  What we wanted, we got.  Lauren and Emily cooly navigated their way through the the pressures of the clock, the competing demands of parents, and the complex vendor contracts.  

Our wedding day was a perfect encapsulation of what makes Downey Streets singularly fantastic.  Every moment of the day was precisely planned, so much so that we had nothing to worry about, except tripping and falling (although I'm sure Lauren and Emily could plan against that).  Despite the strain, Emily and Lauren were a picture of grace.  Never once did they let the seems show.  Never once did they push us to keep on time.  If they felt pressure, they didn't show it.  The entire time, we felt that we were in the hands of experts.  Downey Street Events is constantly two steps ahead of you.  Before you realize you want something as part of your event, they've contracted someone at a low price to provide it.  

After working with Lauren and Emily to create a glorious, fulfilling day that went off without a hitch, I'm left with the impression that Downey Street is so very good at what they do because they care, and they care deeply.  Their love of their work is evident in the energy they bring to the unending to-do's, their ubiquitous smiles, and their willingness to go the extra mile on behalf of their clients.  

I beseech you, bride and groom to be, to bring Lauren and Emily into your planning.  You and your wedding will be all the better for it.
