Testimonials

Long after your special day has ended, we want you to look back with a smile of happiness and contentment. Here is what some of our clients had to say about their experience with Stress Free Weddings:


Melissa,

Shawn and I can’t begin to thank you enough for truly making our wedding day...one that we will always cherish with beautiful memories. The guest who attended all shared how beautiful, intimate, sacred, and elegant the entire ceremony and reception was. One of my co-workers commented that even though the wedding was intimate and very small with a guest list totaling forty people including our bridal party, that it had the appearance of being done on a grand scale. The blessing was that we did not pay on a grand scale for our wedding and reception; but with your planning, coordinating and God’s favor the outcome surpassed anything that we could have ever imagined all within our budget... Another guest commented that the wedding was so dreamy with the atmosphere very sacred and holy that even the hairs on her arms stood up. You coordinated our wedding and reception with such high standards of excellence coupled with so much love, patience and creativity that it left all those attending the wedding including Shawn and myself just in AWE....You were so patient, flexible, organized, understanding, professional and efficient in everything that you executed. There are just not enough words that I can say that truly describes your commitment and hard work that you put into the coordinating of our wedding/reception to make sure that it came off beautiful and smoothly; we will definitely highly recommend your service to anyone that we meet who is in need of an AWESOME wedding coordinator.

Sincerely,
Shawn and Sarina McDonald

I just wanted to write and say. This was a fairy tale wedding everything was so beautiful and well planned. If I was not married I would call you two to create an anointed wedding like Tonya's.

Tony and Melissa Thornton are a wonderful Christian couple who exemplify the essence of marriage. It is only natural that they would have a wedding consulting business.

They have the ability of capturing the vision of the bride and groom. They use their expertise to bring that vision into a beautiful reality. They dedicate their time, efforts, and talents to ensuring a magnificent wedding day.

For our wedding they made the invitations, programs, place cards, flowers, boutonnieres, garter, favors, and even coordinated the music for the ceremony and reception.

Our wedding was the most wonderful day of our lives and they helped to make it unforgettable. Their dedication and attention to detail are unmatched. They are efficient, hardworking, and go above and beyond the average wedding consultant. They were outstanding and truly a blessing to us.

Although we live in Georgia and they live in North Carolina, they were able to work well with each vendor. The Marriott Hotel still talks about how wonderful and meticulous they were. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the wedding was. We could not have chosen better consultants for our special day. Tony and Melissa Thornton were heaven sent.

Thank you and we could never repay you for all that you have done for us.
