“Leigh was an absolute heaven send on my wedding day/days leading up to my wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure a week out I didn’t have to worry about anything and when something did go haywire she was there to smooth it over. Her and Sandy were so attentive and helpful on the wedding day, even my sweet groom was impressed. Long story short, Chic Weddings & Events is well worth the money spent.“

“I could not speak more highly of Sandy and her team! They were professional, experienced and extremely knowledgeable of the entire planning process and wedding industry. They went above & beyond their scope of work and saved me lots of time and money throughout the process. I honestly don’t know how I couldn’t have gotten through my wedding without them! Thank you, Sandy!!!“
