Black Tie Optional

"From the moment we met Chelsea, she immediately put us at ease. To say that she goes above and beyond is an understatement. She was knowledgeable, connected us with all the right people, advocated for us, and kept us in the loop throughout the process. I cannot stress enough how seamless she made the whole planning experience and especially the wedding day. Considering the fact that we were planning our wedding from across the country, communication and transparency were so important. Not only is Chelsea incredibly resourceful and an absolute expert in her field, but she is also so kind and loves what she does. This is shown in every single step, and with how amazing the day turned out. On top of all of this, she is just so sweet and nice, and genuinely is the kind of person you would want in your life. I would recommend Chelsea and her team to anyone and everyone, and I can personally say that it was an honor and privilege to work with such an amazing person." - Lauren + Mike

"I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am for the BTO team! Every detail leading up to the day of our wedding was talked about and they helped with any questions I had. They kept me calm in times of chaos and moving forward on a consistent yet manageable planning schedule. They fixed problems you wouldn't even expect. On the day of my wedding, all I had to do was enjoy myself. Cameron took care of the rest! I trusted BTO with the most important day of our lives and I 100% would recommend it. They are amazing, top tier, and seriously hard workers. Not to mention, they are caring, kind, and want you to love your day!! Truly can't thank them enough...so a 5 star review will have to do ;) Thank you, BTO" - Katey and Hygor

"Working with Chelsea and her team is an absolute dream! Any questions or concerns that I had were answered quickly and with so much care. Chelsea herself is an amazing person to be around, her smile is infectious and her positive attitude makes the stress of planning melt away. There were a couple of hiccups on my wedding day and she came to the rescue doing whatever was needed to help the day come together beautifully.  You can tell she really loves what she does and she really wants her couples to have the most magical day. I cannot say enough good things about Chelsea, I absolutely adore her and will be recommending her amazing services to all!" - Ariel and Ryan

"Chelsea and the Black Tie Optional team are ROCKSTARS! I found them on Instagram and the moment we spoke we connected. She was so easy to talk to and was exactly what I was looking for to help make my wedding vision come to life. We used BTO for month-of coordination and during that time they created our timeline, were on top of coordinating everything with our vendors, ran our rehearsal and SERIOUSLY made sure that my vision on paper was exactly what came to life with all my vendors. I never worried about a single thing. The moment I saw everything I burst into happy tears. I’m so sad that our time together has come to an end, but highly encourage every couple to work with them. Our family is still raving about BTO - WE LOVE THEM!" - Ashley and Christopher:

"I would NOT have survived this wedding planning process without Chelsea. Planning a wedding itself is a major task, let alone an out of state wedding with 200 people after moving across the country & starting new jobs. To say we were stressed, is an understatement, and Chelsea was patient and helped us through it every step of the way. As someone who knows what they like, but is incapable of making decisions & who has ZERO visionary skills, I had to put my complete trust into Chelsea on her judgement, and she DID NOT disappoint. I could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding. And I know people say that, but truly, I had real tears coming down my face walking into the venue to see how it all came to life. No question, it would not have been possible without Chels. 12/10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND" - Ashlin and Jacob
