Elizabeth Eddy Scully

Lydia is incredible. She planned our wedding in September and we didn't make it easy. It was a four day event in a venue that wasn't designed to be a wedding venue. We had to bring absolutely everything in. She brought our vision to life and made us feel so relaxed and cared for. Hire her!

Claudia Roen

I worked with Lydia for day-of wedding management and it was a really great experience! Both her and Rachel were so kind and thoughtful and anticipated our every need! It was really great to have that support on our wedding day. I would highly recommend working with Lydia and her team for wedding planning services.

Karen Spotts

Lydia was the best day of coordinator I could have asked for! Her clam demeanor and organization were exactly what we needed. I so appreciate her taking care of things in the background so I did not have to worry about them. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

I can't explain enough how amazing Lydia was for our wedding as day of coordinator. She came in and didn't miss a beat, she took all the stress of the wedding weekend off our shoulders. She is an extremely calming presence but she knows what she's doing, isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, direct and tell people what to do and what they should be doing, and just be whatever you need for the wedding. Anyone planning a wedding, I would 1,000% recommend Lydia for any and all of your wedding planning needs. She is able to do the little and big things on your wedding day that you shouldn't have to worry about. My husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding day and she took care of all of the behind the scenes to make sure our day was perfect, which it was, with a big part of it being due to her! There were snags and she handled them with professionalism and grace. Again, I will and have highly recommended Lydia to any couples planning a wedding!!

Lydia is the absolute best! We hired her as a day-of-coordinator for our wedding, and it was the best decision we made. With a guest list of only 30 people, my fiancé and I were unsure if we would need a wedding coordinator, but we absolutely did!! I am so thankful we hired Lydia. She made the day less stressful for all of us, and took care of all the little things so that we could truly enjoy our wedding. Lydia's guidance through the decision making process was invaluable. She thought of every little detail, and worked non-stop the whole weekend of our wedding. From helping to re-apply my lipstick to wrangling rogue guests, she went above and beyond! Lydia is amazing, and I'm so thankful that she was with us on our wedding day.

I could not say more amazing things about my experience working with Lydia. We chose her partial planner and day of coordinator package. She was so organized, prompt, and responsive before the wedding. She met with us and our families multiple times before the wedding and was always able to troubleshoot any issues with vendors. On the wedding weekend, she was extremely flexible and took most of the stress away from us so we could just focus on enjoying our time with family and friends. She has an amazing eye for design and made our wedding look beyond our wildest dreams. Everything went off without a hitch and I got to enjoy my day without worrying about logistics because I knew Lydia had it covered.

Lydia is a rockstar. We used her day of coordinator services, but she was responsive for months ahead of the wedding and willing to let us bounce ideas off of her to ensure we were making good choices on vendors and checking all the necessary boxes. When our big day got closer she really helped us finish pulling all the final details together. It's amazing how many little things you need to pay attention to at a wedding that you don't grasp until you have one of your own. When the big day arrived she was the engine that made everything go. She brings excellent experience to the table and it seemed like she was in 10 places at once all night. She got all of our vendors and guests where they needed to be and made it so we could relax and enjoy everything. I can't imagine how people throw a wedding without a coordinator, and we would recommend Lydia to anybody looking to throw a wedding. Her attention to detail and the peace of mind she gave us is second to none. Everything was perfect. Thank you Lydia!!

Erin Robinson

Lydia and her team were absolutely fabulous! Lydia truly cares about the vision, functionality, and detail that go into any wedding. Her and the team are very talented! From design, to flowers, to set up, and all the other details - they do it all! She was easy to communicate with, talk through ideas, and was so reassuring, especially when things had to change because of COVID. She anticipated problems and was able to fix them (it had started to rain at my wedding, and she was so quick to get everything covered). I was that bride that said I would never need a wedding planner, but I am so glad I did have one because I was able to enjoy the day so much more. Lydia took care of everything, and I would highly, highly recommend her to any bride and groom. Her services are so worth it!

Lydia was superwoman at our tented outdoor wedding and leading up to it - seriously, every time I looked around she was doing something else to help the day go smoothly. Calm, collected, organized, and everything else you could need to make your wedding run flawlessly. She is great with flowers and did an expert job of leading centerpiece assembly, among so many other things. If you want to solve all those problems that you know will inevitably pop up, just hire Lydia now and forget about the stress.

Michelle Jones

As a wedding vendor, I have worked with many planners and Lydia is truly one of the most professional, organized, and adaptable planners that I've worked with in quite some time! With all of the challenges and changing regulations this year due to COVID, Lydia kept everyone informed and ready to best serve our couples. Having a planner or coordinator like Lydia who can handle all of your vendor interactions is worth EVERY penny and makes the day run smoothly! I promise this is not what you want to be doing the week of your wedding- hire her instead.

Lydia has the most calming, kind, and effective presence. It was an absolute god send to have her take the reigns a month to our wedding. I actually got to do the fun details while Lydia effortlessly navigated the nitty gritty. She problem solved a rental mistake I had made last minute absorbing all of my fretting and transmuted into a gleaming smile and a problem solved. When it cam time for our wedding day we felt so assured and calm by Lydia's expertise that we floated through the whole wedding. We were truly able to fully be present and enjoy every minute with Lydia by our side. She was incredibly graceful at whisking us into the right place at the right time to keep our timeline on track. Honestly just hearing her gentle voice before I walked down the aisle:"Take a moment, you're getting married, whenever you are ready," was worth every penny. You will be in good hands if you higher Lydia.

Lydia is an outstanding wedding coordinator. She is a warm and positive person who is also professional, methodical, and pragmatic. On our wedding day (and the day before), Lydia was ten steps ahead of the action. In addition to helping plan prior to the event, she gracefully juggled many of the tasks involved in setting up the venue and carrying out the wedding--e.g., picking up the cake, picking up and returning a/v equipment, choreographing our outdoor ceremony, keeping parts of the evening such as toasts and music on schedule, and helping with clean-up at the end of the night. She is a real pro and was a pleasure to work with.

Jessica Little

Lydia is a FANTASTIC wedding planner. I used her "day of" planning package which is actually so much more than the day of. She was available for questions and advice throughout the process. She communicated with my vendors to make sure that everything was completely smooth on the big day. She came to the venue on Friday and helped us make our own bouquets and flower arrangements from a local flower farm (she is actually amazing at this and we all ended up just trying to make a bouquet like the one Lydia made). She was kind and patient and absolutely the type of person you want around you during what can be a stressful time. She made sure that Peter and I had 15 minutes of quiet alone time after the ceremony, which was incredibly special and brought us a beautiful platter of appetizers and cocktails to share. I can't actually express how much she did for us throughout that weekend and we are eternally grateful because it was in all ways the PERFECT DAY. If you want to work with a wonderful human who is incredibly detail oriented and will simultaneously make you feel calm and relaxed throughout, book Fern & Flair!

I cannot say how helpful, supportive, and kind Lydia and Zoe were as Day of Coordinators, and could not more whole-heartedly recommend them. These amazing women quietly and efficiently filled in to coordinate decorations, pick up flowers, manage the rehearsal/ rehearsal dinner, and so, so much more the day before our wedding. On our wedding day, it starting raining a couple hours before our outdoor ceremony. Zoe and Lydia talked to us about moving the ceremony indoors, although could easily see the disappointment on my face. They then proceeded to make arrangements to rearrange the entire flow of the evening, move tables indoors, hoping to wait out the rain. Then, right at 4pm when our ceremony was scheduled to start, the rain miraculously let up. I cannot tell you how quickly Zoe and Lydia moved to dry off benches, escort our guests to the venue, and promptly start our ceremony. It could not have been more perfect. After the ceremony, they greeted us with champagne, and even set aside food for us to make sure we ate during our reception (and surprise leftovers for the next day)! They brought all our gifts inside, helped manage the flow of people to food trucks, keep the appetizer table cleanly, and probably a million other things!!! As a teacher, I was skeptical as to whether or not a DOC would be helpful and/or necessary... luckily I was convinced. If you are on the fence about whether or not to hire a DOC - I could not more strongly recommend Fern & Flair!! These women are truly amazing. Thank you so much, Zoe & Lydia!!

We cannot say enough good things about Fern & Flair. Lydia was a dream to work with and always went above and beyond! She brought many things to my attention that I would have never thought about! She really helped me every step of the way was very quick to response to any questions I had (and I had a lot of them!). She was able to provide me with suggestions from sequence of events to best places to look for a suit and everything in between. On top of all of this she helped me plan 3 different versions of my wedding due to COVID-19 and the changing guidance. Hiring Fern and Flair was the best decision we made. Our wedding day would not have been the same without Lydia, she took care of all the little things and made our day so much less stressful. I am so thankful that I got to work with Lydia and I would recommend Fern and Flair to anyone getting married or planning an event!

As a bridesmaid in one of Lydia’s outdoor weddings I was incredibly impressed with how effortlessly she handled the whole day. The weather was not exactly cooperative, but she was prepared for every possibility. It could have been a chaotic and stressful day, but instead it was relaxed and enjoyable.The bride was extremely grateful for Lydia’s hard work and creativity that made it such a wonderfully beautiful day. I would absolutely recommend fern and flair for any wedding or event planning.

Kristi Rohrer

Lydia is an amazing wedding planner, I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!! I was a bridesmaid in a small outdoor wedding and she handled ever problem with positivity and grace. She was calm as bad weather approached and thought ahead to put tarps over the outdoor seating so that the wedding could go on without any problems after the rain settled down. She is a women with many talents including steaming dresses, arranging flowers, hosting, communicating clearly, and so much more that you I will never know because she takes care of problems before they happen.

Chris Bell

Lydia was a joy to work with as we corresponded for HER big day that she planned! Congrats on your vows and your new venture!!
