Review content:
My sister got engaged a little over a year ago and my entire family was thrilled and so happy for her. Not only were we excited for my sister to have snagged such a great guy (and for her boyfriend to become a part of our family)...but I personally immediately had visions of what a fun-filled weekend we'd have! Full of fancy dinners, gorgeous dresses, fake eyelashes (yes!), candellit tables, the smell of elaborate flower arrangements, exquisite wines, champagne toasts, double decker bus rides, photo booth costumes and catered after parties. Ahhh....I couldn't WAIT!!\r
\r
I floated back to reality when my mom called me a couple days after her big announcement to give me a long lecture about how much work, help and moral support both of us were going to have to give my sister in order to help her plan a wedding (which all three of us had never done before). Ugh! \r
\r
When my sister decided she was going to hire Nora, I think our entire family let out a collective sigh of relief. \r
\r
From the time Nora started working with my sister, I honestly didn't have more than a couple small conversations with both my mom and sister about planning the wedding. I was shocked! My sister was completely non-bridezilla-ish (not that I expected she would be, of course) and my worrisome mom seemed unusually calm and relaxed. Every detail was outlined and organized and Nora had numerous contacts for my sister to choose from for every aspect of her rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception. \r
\r
As the maid of honor, I felt a (VERY) slight twinge of guilt that I wasn't more helpful. \r

The wedding weekend was perfect! From transportation for family members, to hotel reservations and gift bags....from the rehearsal dinner to the catered lunch the next day while we were all getting ready. The photographer was amazing and the flowers were gorgeous. It rained on my sister's wedding day and I almost thought Nora may have planned that just for the beautiful photos the wedding party got under black umbrellas next to our big red double decker bus. The reception went off without a hitch, the food was amazing, everyone had a blast, and the after party was perfect. \r
\r
I can't thank Nora enough for what she did the past year for my sister, myself and my whole family! She made my sister's wedding something we will never forget, and something we will all look back on with fond memories, no stress involved.\r
\r
Nora is a true professional and truly the best! Use her for all she's worth, I'm telling you!
