I considering many wedding coordinators, including Schwartz and Woodward. They were by far the most expensive, at least double the cost of even the trendiest planners I spoke to. I couldn't believe it! I'm sure they do a great job, but there are many other coordinators who come with glowing reviews who don't charge anywhere near as much. Just be wary and shop around!
My husband and I made the decision to have a destination wedding. We wanted to make it a wonderful memory for us, family and our great friends who live all over the world. To make things more challenging, both my husband and I are incredibly detailed and pretty much a "perfectionist couple." A challenge for anyone who would agree to help us. A friend of ours talked to us about JoAnn. We went...
JoAnn and John managed to organize our entire wedding stress free. I knew the basics of what I wanted and JoAnn transformed them into beautiful details making our wedding gorgeous and flawless. It was the best night of our lives and we would not have changed anything about it. Because of JoAnn and John, everything ran smoothly and the reception was a blast. Thank you JoAnn and John for the effort...
JoAnn and John did an excellent job coordinating our daughter's wedding a few weeks ago. The vendors they recommended were fantastic, from the cake that was the best I have ever tasted, to the photographer who took in excess of 1000 beautiful photos, to the florist whose creations were spectacular, to the seamstress who made my wedding gown become my daughter's dream. It all came together wonde...
Choosing JoAnn and John to be a part of my 6/6/09 wedding was the best decision we made during the entire planning process.
First, she was our biggest advocate during the entire process. She is armored with connections to the best vendors in the wedding industry. These photographers, videographers, pastry chefs, venue catering managers, and wedding dress consultants know and respect JoAnn....
JoAnn and John were a pleasure to work with. I am so very thankful that they were a part of my wedding planning and my special day-April 4th, 2009.
JoAnn was very thoughtful and resourceful throughout the wedding planning process and the day of. She helped to make cake tasting, determining a florist, selecting little personal touches and overall wedding planning enjoyable. Choosing vendors wa...
I was married in april of 09 and was one of those brides who was COMPLETELY LOST and had no idea what I was doing, I had thought about hiring a planner in feb 08 when I got engaged but I passed and Feb. 09 came around and I was about to call the whole thing off because I couldnt sleep or function and like I said I was completely lost! I called around looking for a good wedding planner and was blo...
Fabulous reception...wonderful vendors..Joann is honest and to the point...easily accessible...punctual on returning emails and phone calls. We had a wonderful experience and wish we could do the whole day again!!
Jo Ann and her husband will FOREVER hold a special place in my heart. Our daughter's wedding was wonderful and my heartfelt dream was that our daughter (and her Dad and me) truly would enjoy her day without the stress of wedding details...and WE did, thanks to Schwartz and Woodward! I so appreciated Jo Ann's vendor reccommendations..They exceeded our expectations!Wonderful & professional!
This is a review that should have been written a year
ago - but here goes. JoAnn and John made our wedding. Without them I'm convinced we would not
have enjoyed the wedding we did. We knew from the
original meeting with JoAnn she was going to be for
us. She was confident, professional and wonderfully
pleasant. JoAnn's experience provided us with
a selection of reliable merchants to wor...
She was the single source of stress for my wedding. She was reluctant to use vendors that were not on her list and was very rude and bossy to them. My florist did not like working with her (for good reason). On the day of the rehearsal she rushed us through as though she had somewhere else she had to be. She argued with the officiant over how the bridal party would walk down the aisle without...
Jo Ann, John and their team of experts are just what you need to throw an organized and elegant wedding. With only 4 months to plan a thousand person wedding with three days worth of celebrations, the wedding went without a hitch and this was do to the teamwork between us and the Schwartz & Woodward team. They were instrumental every step of the way and helped plan our dream wedding. They refe...
Words cannot express how greatful I am to JoAnn and John Woodward. I had the wedding of my dreams and best of all I was able to remember it. You cannot ask for a more professional and warm couple to help you wilh all the wedding details and spare you from all the things that could have gone wrong. All I did was show up and marry the love of my life. Thanks JoAnn and John!
Wow! What a Wedding! Our Daughter was marreid in Houston last month. We decided to have the wedding in Houston where our Daughter resides. Planning from long distance really worried me and my daughter, who was new to the area. We needed a Wedding Planner and chose Schwartz & Woodward.
I can tell you, was that the right choice!
From the beginning stages of planning to the exit of the fin...
Do I ever love JoAnn. We had only hired her for "the day of service", but from the moment we did that she got us organized and started emailing, organizing and working with the vendors that I had already hired. We found her enthusiastic and charming. She made us feel like we were the most important and only wedding that she was coordinating. Our vendors respected her and worked well with her....
I thought Jo Ann and John Woodward did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding!! My husband and I were so pleased with Jo Ann's details in her planning with our budget to give us the most beautiful wedding!! I have heard horror stories of wedding planners where when you give them their deposit, you never hear from them again - they get back to you at their convenience. But Jo Ann always got...
I have an extraordinarily detail oriented wife who was attending to wedding details well and I wasn't sure we needed a planner. When we met Joanne I learned what I didn't know. The negotiations were simple and pleasing. Every detail was meticulously handled soup to nuts. Woodward and Schwartz delivered their opinions with good humor but fully respected our requests. They made a perfect production...
AS A FIRST TIME BRIDE IN MY LATE THIRTIES, I WAS OVERWHELMED JUST THINKING ABOUT PLANNING A WEDDING AND WORKING FULL TIME IN MY OWN COMPANY AT THE SAME TIME. BUT I WANTED A FAIRYTALE WEDDING BECAUSE I HAD WAITED SO LONG FOR IT! JO ANN AND JOHN HELPED MAKE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE! THEY KNEW THE VENDORS WHO HAD PROVEN THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN! THEY KNEW THE TIME LINE OF EXACTLY WHEN TASKS HA...
I can't tell you what an incredible experience it was working with Jo Ann and John. Having been through the pain and stress of planning a wedding before, I knew I needed professional help my second go round. Jo Ann and John worked with me from the very beginning, and I can't tell you what a delightful experience it was having their expertise available to me. I not only saved money by taking ad...
My daughter's dream wedding was accomplished perfectly with the help of Schwartz & Woodward! Even the smllest details were professionally handled with the same care and attention given to the larger decisions and I never had to worry about forgetting items as John and Jo Ann were on top of it all! On the day of the wedding we were all so relaxed and confident, and everyone was able to enjoy the...
Imagine the perfect wedding?that?s what we had thanks to Schwartz & Woodward!
Our wedding weekend was fantastic. We invited 250+ friends and family and even received several dozen hand written thank you notes saying how beautiful the wedding and the arrangements were!
For the Bride and MOB, Schwartz & Woodward will make your life easy --- We actually had fun working with S&W to pick our we...
To start, JoAnn completed the necessary tasks in pulling off a wedding and reception without any technical flaws. HOWEVER, the planning was a horrible experience and would have been easier without her. We (me, my husband and our family) found her very hard to work with. She seemed very hesitant about trying new things, using vendors not on her list, and she even snapped at people in the wedding p...
Planning an event is only worth while if you can kick back and enjoy it when the big day arrives. Hiring Schwartz & Woodward let my husband and I have the fairytale wedding people only dream of. Not only did the details fall into place perfectly, we also never needed to cme down from the cloud 9 in order to monitor specifics. Our friends spent their weddings answering questions from the waitst...
