If you're reading this review, your time would be better spent immediately hiring Wendy to be your wedding planner!! I truly cannot say enough good things about Wendy and her team. Wendy basically planned us two weddings due to COVID-19, and she did it with grace, support, and enthusiasm!…

We had the opportunity to work with Wendy and her team for a beautiful wedding in the city. As a caterer who provides on site cooking and meal assemblies, timing and punctuality are a must for our team in order to assure an efficient, hot and tasty meal. Wendy was not only easy to work during the planning stages months before, her team also provided very timely updates for us on ceremony progression for meal service coordination. Of all the weddings we have worked, this had been one of the most punctual and organized events we have had the pleasure of working. Great Job!

YOU NEED WENDY AND HER REVEL & WONDER TEAM !!!!!!! Who knew that planning a wedding could be so hard and this was our 3rd wedding!!?!! Who knew that we would need to regroup and re-plan 1 1/2 weeks until the Big Day????? !!! CORONAVIRUS !!!!! Wendy was our Knight in Shining Armor! We would not have had a wedding if it wasn’t for her Expertise and professionalism in talking and working with our building vendor. This wedding will go down in the history books! Wendy was right there with us, Zoom meetings, phone calls, emails. We always knew what was going on and all the rules and regulations during this Covid 19 time. ( we could not have all of our guests inside the building and so moved ceremony and all activities outside) Again... we would not have had a wedding if not for her! She worked her tail off for all of us!! Besides the weeks before, Wendy was there for us at the rehearsal and all day for wedding. She and her staff were wonderful! Our day, the first part of Oct., was cloudy and a little rainy- Wendy kept positive and guess what??? The rain dried up right at the time for the ceremony! Ceremony was beautiful! The reception was perfect and she made sure everything went smoothly for us! We got to sit back and enjoy. It was a fantastic night for my daughter and her Bride! They were so happy!!!! Wendy... you and your team are amazing! We are so grateful that you came into our lives! We could not have planned this event any better. You are a SUPERWOMAN!!!!! Now, go get some sleep!! ;)

Wedding planning during the global pandemic was a major challenge for everyone involved. Constant change became our "new normal." Without the dedication and the excellent level of service provided by Revel & Wonder, I know we would not have been able to enjoy the wedding ceremony or the reception.

Stop searching for a wedding planner or coordinator because you will not find anyone better than Wendy. My fiance and I first came to Wendy after recently moving to and deciding to get married in St. Louis. She guided us through planning not one, but two (!), different versions of our wedding during COVID.

I think I've been procrastinating writing this because I knew there was no way to adequately express how beneficial having Wendy as my wedding coordinator and wedding stylist was. What a lifesaver she was can't possibly be put into words. It's not an exaggeration to say that I do not think we would have managed a wedding without her. Everyone knows why you hire a coordinator - you don't want to work on your wedding day or deal with mishaps. Wendy handles those things beautifully, to be sure, but I'm going to try to outline the unexpected ways she was great. She saved me tons of money. She is brilliant about saying 'That's not going to matter' and even though I'm not the type to want personalized everything or need extra fancy chair covers, she saved me a ton of money on unnecessary spending and time wasted on crafts no one would see. If I was stressing about something, she handled it or she outlined why I didn't need to stress about it. And she's a professional, so I believed her. Without fail she was right. We had last minute disasters - things that would have absolutely crushed me to deal with. But I didn't even stress about them because I knew she could handle it. Many people - including my now husband - didn't think we needed a wedding coordinator. In the months leading up to the wedding, I heard "Thank god we have Wendy" from someone on a daily basis. My family still raves about her. Wendy does so much so you don't have to worry about finding someone new. Want someone to handle your wedding decor? Wendy can. Don't know what florist to use? Hire Wendy. If she can't do it, she can recommend a bunch of great people who can. After a year+ of wedding planning, we had several unexpected family tragedies and I was just depressed and worn out and *done* in the last months leading up to the wedding. She was not only an amazing emotional support, she basically was the only reason anything got done. I never expected to be in a place like that at the end - but I think the point is that no one does, and she is like the world's best insurance policy. It's almost criminal if I think about what we paid her and compare it to how much work she did. She is priceless. If you're having doubts about hiring a wedding coordinator - I promise you you should hire one. I'm not rich, I had no blank checks for this wedding. No trade off would have been worth not having her. Anyone who is against it will see how right you were in the end, and you will still be sane, and you will enjoy your wedding day

Working with Wendy is the single best decision we made when planning our wedding. She and her team are so kind, encouraging, easy to work with, and a lot of fun. Revel & Wonder Wed team made our wedding day so incredibly smooth and wonderful. On top of that, Wendy’s guidance during the planning process was invaluable. She introduced us to most of our other amazing vendors, answered all kinds of random questions, and talked me out of a few stress spirals. We also hired her for florals and she created the most beautiful bouquets I’ve ever seen, going above and beyond to get me the dahlias my heart desired. Wedding planning was not my favorite activity, but Wendy made it bearable and at times even fun. :) If you are in the market for a coordinator, hire Wendy if you can. You will not regret it.

Working with Wendy was an absolute dream! She is detail orientated, quick with communication, and all around fantastic at what she does! Having her in house the day of to help the couple really made the day go smoothly. Both the couple and our staff loved having Wendy around and have recommended her fantastic services to our other couples.

Wendy and her staff at the R&WW were AWESOME!!! Friendly, knowledgeable, comforting, and hard working are just a few words that come to mind when thinking about our wedding planning experience. I didn’t think we needed a wedding planner and I am well aware now that we COULDN’T have pulled off what we did WITHOUT HER!!! A backyard tent reception for 250 people!!!! WOW!! We will be contacting you again as our other daughter will be getting engaged soon!!!! THANK YOU Wendy!! From the bottom of our hearts!!! You and your staff ROCK!!!

If you're looking for a coordinator, look no further. Wendy and her team are just incredible. We could not have survived the wedding process without them. Wendy was a wealth of information and suggestions throughout our planning process and an absolute rockstar when she took the reins 2 months out from our wedding. Our entire wedding party was blown away by her professionalism and organization. I simply cannot say enough good things about her.
