I guess I will start by saying...... it is a running joke between my husband and I that if I could've married Molly instead - I WOULD HAVE. LOL
If you are even questioning whether you should hire a wedding planner, I will tell you right now, YOU NEED ONE. Before a friend referred me to Molly - I was a MESS. Crying, stressed, panic attacks - "planning" a wedding was becoming the worst chore I had ever experienced. THENNNNNNN my favorite human to ever exist came along and rocked my entire world (MOLLY / Tres Chic Affairs).
From our first phone call, I absolutely knew Molly was it. One of the most instinctual gut feelings I had ever had. I remember calling my husband right after our first meeting and said this is it, we are going with Molly, there is NO ONE else!
She is a POWER HOUSE. Asked me every question you could think of, was beyond organized/proactive, and above all else made me feel completely at ease which I had not felt once since getting engaged. I trusted her with my entire life, whatever she suggested or said my answer was always "I trust whatever you think" because I genuinely do. I am typically a super Type A personality when it comes to certain aspects of my life and I let Molly completely take the reins and she planned a wedding out of my wildest dreams, made sure I barely had to lift a finger, and was my biggest supporter. ALL future brides out there, one of my biggest pieces of advice is TRUST your wedding planner. Don't hire them and then try to do their job, this is WHAT THEY DO and they will never steer you wrong. Put all your faith in them and allow yourself to enjoy the experience whole heartedly!
Molly and I chatted almost every day, I trusted her completely and never had to worry about something getting completed/or forgotten - she stays 10 steps ahead (no joke), she booked transportation, vendors and dealt with full communication with EVERYONE. She has SUCH an eye for design and detail, there were moments I told her to surprise me and choose things for me. THAT speaks volumes because I know us brides can be CRAYYYY. lol
I remember first week signing the contract, Molly already had our entire checklist and timeline mapped out. I couldn't even believe it, I was like who is this angel that was sent to me?!?! Every week she would check in, truly felt daily, and just be the biggest support, light in my day, and the biggest boss you've ever seen. Molly makes MAGIC happen, gets shit done, and I truly know if it weren't for Molly I would not have enjoyed all the months leading up to the wedding and maybe not even the big day. She truly is such a gift. I was able to relax, be present, relish in the moment and not worry about a thing. And when I did have my own insecure doubts she was not only my wedding planner but built in therapist bringing me down to earth. I just love her so much and am so grateful for the role she's played in my wedding and my life.
I want you to get a glimpse of all she does:
-helps you find your venue
-visits venue with you
-helps you with invitations
-creates vision boards with you
-Finds all vendors (DJ, Catering, Photographer, makeup/hair etc.)
-COMMUNICATES with all vendors, literally all you have to do is give your card info LOL doesn't get easier
-Uses the most amazing app to keep you both synced throughout the planning process: checklist, seating charts, guests lists, notes, payments, YOU NAME IT and Molly had it ready
-ALL THE SMALL details - putting together menus, seating charts, party favors, alcohol, timelines, cancellations, signage, etc
THIS IS THE TINIEST GLIMPSE. I lost count of how many times I said "I don't know how you do it all". BUTTT she does and with so much grace, love, and the biggest smile on her face. This is her passion and it truly shows. She pours her heart and soul into every client.
There will never be the perfect words to describe how incredible Molly is. She is so much more than just your wedding planner. I cannot express enough how CRUCIAL it is to have a wedding planner bare minimum but the perfect one at that. Molly is the ONE. She is so supportive, very empathetic, the greatest communicator, joyful/positive, a hustler, boss babe, detailed and beyond organized, and the biggest hype woman. The sweetest soul there ever was and I am so honored that she was apart of one of the biggest moments in my life! I can't even tell you how often I'd see her post a wedding on Instagram and think to myself..... OMG that's right, she has other clients because she made me constantly feel like I was her #1 priority.
I could truly go on forever (if that says anything lol), BUT bottom line - there is no other wedding planner out there for you. This is your SIGN!!!!!!!!! Book Tres Chic Affairs. xoxoxox

The best decision we made during the wedding planning process was deciding to work with Tres Chic Affairs.
We interviewed a few wedding planners, but from our first phone call with Molly (founder/creative director), we knew she was the planner for us. We could immediately tell that Molly was talented, knowledgable, experienced, and organized-- all traits that held true throughout the planning process. Molly also has the most amazing, calming demeanor: she put me at ease from the beginning, which is hard to do given my tendency to stress way too much!
We had about a year and a half to plan our wedding, and we communicated frequently with Molly and Rachel (event designer), who answered all of our questions and then some. They set us up with incredible software to manage every vendor outreach, contract, payment, etc., an invaluable tool when you're trying to coordinate a thousand things at once. We got married at a venue that requires all outside vendors, and I know that Molly and Rachel's relationships ensured we got to work with the best of the best: so many of our vendors told us that they never say no to working with Tres Chic. The best compliment!
As a bride, I was what I imagine to be a *special* kind of client: I was both too busy with work to stay on top of all the decision-making, but also too Type A to surrender control to anyone else to make the decision. What a treat for Molly and Rachel! Despite this, they treated me (and my husband) with nothing but absolute kindness and respect throughout the whole process, following up when we missed an email and encouraging us to make decisions before we missed out on opportunities. Again, I can't stress how invaluable it was to have someone as organized as they were, making sure each piece came together. There wasn't a moment during the entire process when I didn't feel like we were in the best hands.
From a design perspective, Molly is a master of her craft, and I am in awe of her. She understood my vision from the outset, but somehow brought it to life in a way that exceeded even my wildest dreams. From tables, to chairs, to flowers, to linens, to place seatings-- I could go on-- believe me when I say that you can TRUST Molly to make all of your design dreams come true. When I saw it all come together the day of, I was blown away, and so were our guests, many of whom are still messaging us to gush about some detail. I look back at pictures and still can't believe *that* was our wedding. That's the gift you get by working with Molly.
Rachel is a design master in her own right, and her creativity helped elevate our day in ways I couldn't imagine. Rachel single-handedly brought to life so many of the most amazing details of our day, from place seatings, to signage, and more, on top of continuing to manage our vendor relationships. All of the details that I felt overwhelmed by seemed like a breeze for Rachel. Rachel is so kind and showed so much excitement for us throughout the planning process, which we so appreciated.
Working with Tres Chic means gaining a partner you can trust to bring your big day to life. As other past brides have mentioned, I was so relaxed the week of the wedding, and that's entirely because I trusted Molly and Rachel's expertise to shine through, which it did in spades. The timeline they created for the day was flawless: there wasn't a moment we were running behind, and my husband and I even had downtime before the ceremony to sit together, drink some water, and soak it all in. What a gift that was! Molly and Rachel thought of every detail day of, from handing me a bandaid when I got a blister, to meeting my husband and I with drinks immediately after the ceremony, to having guest book supplies on hand when I forgot a few crucial pieces. They thought of it all, hours (weeks?!) before I did. Their thoughtfulness meant we could focus on spending time together, and with friends and loved ones.
I am biased, but I will always believe my husband and I had the best wedding ever, thanks to the absolute gift of working with Tres Chic Affairs.
