simsbury & Suffield, CT

From the moment we connected with Evan, we knew we were in good hands. We engaged One for the Books for Wedding Coordination for our daughters wedding in September and were absolutely amazed at the extent of Evan's knowledge and expertise on all things wedding. The wedding was held at an historic site that required us to hire many outside vendors including catering, tents, portable restrooms, music, flowers, photographers,etc. Although we did much of the initial vetting, Evan was a great resource throughout the process with referrals, contract hints and tips, and negotiating strategies. It was so comforting throughout the process to hear from all of the vendors how much they admired Evan and enjoyed working with One for the Books Events! As the wedding date approached, One for the Books kicked into high gear and took the reins from us, confirming all deliverables for each vendor and coordinating day of timeline and activities. This allowed us to enjoy the ramp up to the wedding and focus on our family! We had complete confidence in the team we had put together with One for the Books! The wedding was exactly what we had hoped; an elegant celebration of love in a gorgeous historic garden setting with a rustic barn for a rockin' dance party! It took lots planning and attention to detail for us to choose the right partners and I credit Evan and One for the Books Events for helping us to strike the perfect balance. Like every event, we had a hiccup or two but neither the Bride or me(Mother of Bride) had to fret about anything. One for the Books was on the scene and handled everything with grace and complete professionalism. I believe that in all of our planning for this grand celebration, the single best decision we made was choosing One for the Books to be our Wedding Coordinators!
