A bride’s dream come true! Trisha’s organization, accessibility, attention to detail and caring nature leading up to my wedding was exactly what I needed for the big day to go as smoothly as it did. She made me feel at ease during all phases of the planning and the day of. Everyone in my family was so appreciative of her work and BOY did she work it that day and that too with a smile on her face the whole time! We had both Sikh and Hindu wedding ceremonies so it was at least at 16 hour day! Trisha and her team were always one step ahead in making sure everything was ready to go as planned. Her team was wonderful to work with and we are truly thankful for all their efforts. We received and continue to receive so many compliments on our wedding. That only happens when all the vendors come together and Trisha made sure everyone was on top of their game.Usually brides are DONE after their weddings but I would love to do it all over again as long as I have Trisha!!

My wedding turned out beautifully thanks to Trisha and everyone at working brides. All the vendors she recommended were professional, creative, and a good value.

We used Working Brides only as a day-of coordinator. We brought them into the process very late and they were able to integrate with our vendor very quickly and made sure that all of the Korean and Indian aunties and uncles were on time during the series of events that we held. VERY WORTH EVERY PENNY as a day-of coordinator and they even went above and beyond our agreement to iron out vendor issues for about a month before the big day!

There are not enough words to describe how much appreciation I have for Trisha and the Working Bride Team for making my wedding unforgettable. I had a small out of town weekend-long wedding. She was so proactive in handling last minute crisis and meeting my wishes. She kept my ideals realistic and my budget as desired throughout the whole planning stage. I send out to Working Brides many hugs, prays, and a million thanks for making that walk down the aisle to my wife an absolute magical one. If you desire a wedding coordinator with zest, style, and class, you would choose Working Brides to plan your special day!!! Thanks again for everything.

From the onset of our wedding planning, we had a few complexities to deal such as myself being located in Chicago, my fiance in Atlanta, our parents in DC and Florida, and the wedding in Baltimore. On top of that, we were working with vendors from Indiana and Florida. Needless to say, our wedding required quite a bit of coordination. That said, working with Trisha and her team at Working Brides was an absolute pleasure. She made the entire wedding planning process seamless and fun. Trisha offered perspectives that were unique and valuable especially as we planned our decor and food for our ceremony and reception. Her familiarity with South Asian wedding customs never ceases to amaze me. Trisha and her team were great with our families and guests. They also ensured that our events ran exactly on time. One of the hardest parts of the wedding was at the very end when I had to say bye to Trisha...I strongly reccommend Working Brides!tara

Working with Trisha with invaluable to me in planning and executing our wedding. I used Trisha's full planning services and was very happy that I did. Trisha is very easy going and funny, so she's great to work with! Trisha was very involved with every step of our wedding planning (I do mean every step). She made suggestions on almost all our vendors, which I found helpful. She would give me 3-4 choices of vendors that she knew of/worked with before, and let me pick which suited us best. This was great because I didn't have to wade through 100's of vendors for each thing! Trisha is very available to answer questions via email, phone, etc. Many times, she even came to meet me at work in order to drop things off for me. She kept the different vendors straight and kept us on a planning timeline to make sure things weren't overlooked. She was also the main liaison with most of the vendors. She was present at our rehearsal and all day of the wedding. She literally had a team with her wearing walkie-talkies to make sure everything was going according to schedule on the day of the wedding. The only thing I could say that could have improved the experience was if we had received updated budgets throughout the process. It wasn't until the night of the wedding that we were presented with the final "bill" and some things needed to be straighted out after the wedding. It also get a bit confusing at times trying to share information between myself, my mom, and Trisha. Sometimes information wasn't relayed to each of us or lines got crossed, which could have been alleviated with weekly email updates or summary emails after important decisions were discussed/agreed upon. Nonetheless, Trisha is a great coordinator and I definitely couldn't have made our wedding happen without her help!

Trisha was a joy to work with. Planning an out-of-state wedding is certainly not an easy task and we hired Trisha to help with "day of" coordination. She met with us a few days before the big day and helped us outline a plan, confirmed with all our vendors, and helped organize the family, so we, the brides, could just relax and enjoy the day. She also packed up all our favors from the wedding site and had them delivered to our hotel so we were free to move right on to the reception dinner. As both of us our hands on "do it yourself" people we were nervous handing over the reins on such a big event. Trish was perfect and worth every last penny. Our wedding was flawless and we couldn't have done it without her help.

Trisha is amazing to work with! My husband and I got married in September 2010 and, after deciding to have our wedding only months after getting engaged, I knew I would need a planner. After meeting Trisha the search was over! She and I clicked instantly and she really understood what I was looking for, including the level of service and my vision for our wedding, from the get go. She is also very personable, professional and fun to work with. With our time constraints, Trisha was able to pick out a perfect vendor for all of my needs and after meeting each one I booked them immediately. Planning our wedding was delightful with her help and as a bride, you need all the help you can get. Our wedding day was an absolute dream thanks to all of Trisha's hard work! From finding the perfect venue, to picking out linens, stationary design, the flowers, the makeup artist, the photographer, the music, and cake, and even dealing with overly-excited family, everything was low stress. My husband and I had a multicultural wedding also, so it was wonderful to have a planner who understood the background of our cultures (he's American, my family is from Pakistan) and how important it was for us to integrate our families and backgrounds into the wedding. In doing so, she found the perfect officiant for our event and the smallest touches from the color scheme to some of the music selections reflected my cultural background perfectly. She was even able to seamlessly infuse our love of New Orleans in the theme, where we met in law school and got engaged years afterward! I don't know how I could have done all of this by myself! Especially with my husband and I being busy with work all of the time. Our wedding day went off without a hitch and everyone complimented how amazing it all was. Trust me, if you don't have the time or inclination to plan every last detail of a wedding by yourself but still want to have a beautiful, amazing, show-stopping wedding and are looking to enjoy yourself at your wedding and avoid the stress that may arise from any last minute mix-ups, you will not be disappointed with Trisha! Thank you so much Trisha from the bottom of our hearts! You rock! Saira and Andy (September 2010)

Every bride NEEDS a wedding planner- even if it's just for the day-of coordination. I used Trisha Cranor at Working Brides for the whole shabang. I needed help with EVERYTHING! Trisha helped with finding vendors, reviewing contracts, keeping us on track of our timeline... the whole 9 yards. She did all the professional stuff, but she also turned out to be a great friend. I would call HER when my husband-to-be was sick of hearing me talk about the wedding. (It's all I ever talked about for almost a year!) I truly valued her input and opinion. She was always honest (you know how sometimes the ones closest to you will tell you what they think you want to hear, just because they're afraid to hurt your feelings??) Trisha will always tell it like it is! She was perfectly fine telling me when I was freaking out for nothing- and she would help me laugh about it!! She was so fun to work with and so worth the money!!In the days leading up to the wedding, I think I was on the phone with her at least 3 times a day. I ended up running late to the church and I was so glad that she was there with her cell phone so I could tell her I was on the way! She took care of the timeline of the day for all the vendors (photog, DJ, flowers, cake, etc). My husband and I were able to sit back and enjoy our day. Our florist had forgotten to deliver my toss bouquet, and the only time I realized it was when Trisha handed me one to toss saying "here, made it myself!" I couldn't believe it- It looked beautiful! No one knew the difference! It was no big deal. But if Trisha hadn't been there to save the day- it could have been a major disaster! I would have freaked out and not known what to do. I probably would have tossed my REAL bouquet and that might've knocked somebody out!I cannot say enough good things about Working Brides and Trisha Cranor. I will recommend her team to any engaged couple!Steph and Russ

Let me first start off by saying that I had to convince my Mom that it was a great idea to hire a wedding planner. She thought that she could plan the entire event by herself. She finally agreed to meet various wedding planners with me...and at the end of the night on October 3rd, 2009, she stated that it was the best investment she made on my wedding day :-) Trisha is professional, courteous and best of all...a RIOT! It was such a joy planning my special day with her. I appreciated her guidance and constant support throughout the process. Thank you Trisha for helping to make such a special day even that much more magical for my husband and I! Do you plan baby showers?! Lol :-)

Thanks so much for making my day all that I dreamt it would be!! Your team was so on point. The whole planning process was so smooth once I hired you,lol!! Especially since I had made a royal mess while planning solo. You helped to save me so much money just in the first month, Not to mention the fact that I was no longer sitting on the phone planning my wedding while at work (shh thats a secret, lol). I really couldn't have done it without you, well at least not the way you girls did it! It was smooth and effortless!! When my sister gets engaged she will be heading your way from the start.Thanks so muchTracey & Rob

I interviewed with several wedding planners before deciding on Trisha from Working Brides. Let's just say that was the best decision I could have made in regards to my wedding. I was beginning to feel overwhelmed after my engagement because I was working two jobs, planning a wedding and arranging to move to the west coast all in a matter of months! (EEK!!) Trisha is very personable and super friendly. From our first meeting, my mom and I instantly agreed that she would be the best person for the job. She is very dedicated to her work, organized and super flexible. She's also very good about returning phone calls and emails. Trisha attended most of my vendor meetings. She has excellent contacts in the field; I was definitely satisfied with all the vendors she found for me. I can say she saved us both time and money. The days leading up to my wedding were stress free. Her facilitation of my wedding (along with her sister) was top notch. My day could not have run smoother. My only wish is that I could do it all over again. I highly recommend Working Brides without any reservations. You won't regret it!
