“YOU CAN’T PUT A PRICE ON PEACE OF MIND”
“Tracie and her team were invaluable leading up to and on our wedding day at Saint John’s Resort! I was looking for a Detroit Michigan wedding planner to keep us on track and manage everything the day of. She was recommended by our venue and her familiarity gave us huge peace of mind, so we booked the Princess Collection. She recommended photographers, bakeries, and bands.
Tracie was very accommodating of our busy schedules – we went through questions and ideas together to make sure we were doing what we needed to do to make our vision come alive. Tracie coordinated our ceremony rehearsal and helped plan our rehearsal dinner. She supervised everything ensuring vendors and wedding party were on time and where they needed to be.
We were so happy that YTB helped us every step of the way. The price for services was extremely reasonable given her professionalism, reputation, contacts, and commitment to us that made everything go so smoothly and turn out beautifully. You can’t put a price on peace of mind and that is what was most important to us when working with a Detroit Michigan wedding planner.“
