"Thank you for the incredible work you did on Maggie & Emir's wedding! We can not tell you how much we appreciate your expertise and thoroughness with all the details.

We had complete confidence and total peace of mind through all of the planning and on the wedding day. You are a consummate professional, and you were a great source of steadiness and support for us. Thank you so much!"

"Thank you for all you did to make Avery and Adam’s day so memorable! The flowers and decorations were exceptional; people were blown away at how gorgeous everything was. We have received many thank you notes, emails, and texts describing awe at the entire event, down to the restrooms! I may have shared this, but when we brought my mom out in the afternoon to see the tent, she stood and cried, saying it was just so beautiful.

Brigid, thank you for ensuring that things ran smoothly. I felt relaxed and able to enjoy my guests and the event, knowing there was a knowledgeable and dependable safety net that had my back! Young and old had a blast, and you played a big part in that! I cannot thank you enough."

"David and I wanted to share our sincerest gratitude for helping us plan a wedding day that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives.

Working with you and seeing our vision come to life was a joy. Your attentive ear and nuanced focus on our own personal style made our wedding an event that truly communicated who we are together."

"Brigid and Karen are truly the best! I can honestly say they made wedding planning fun and as stress free as possible. We attend a lot of weddings and truly nothing compares to the attention they gave each aspect of the day to personalize the experience for guests and also ensure everything runs seamlessly.

Beyond their expertise in planning and design, Brigid and Karen were both wonderful to work with. They were reassuring, consistent, and calm advisors on big and little decisions. They helped us select amazing vendors and brought everything together.

I had a very clear vision for our wedding and Brigid and Karen understood it immediately. They helped me to prioritize our rentals and extras while not sacrificing the over all aesthetic or impact. They also suggested additional ideas to take everything one step further. From my perspective our wedding day was perfect. Maybe things went wrong, but I truly will never know because Brigid and Karen are truly that good."

"Where do I even begin?!? First of all, planning a wedding during a pandemic was not my first choice, but I would not have picked anyone better to have done it with than the i-do Weddings team. In addition, planning a wedding in general is very stressful, and I felt at ease knowing they were there to help us the entire time. Their knowledge of the industry and local vendors is extremely critical. I felt I could trust their recommendations, which made the process a lot more efficient. We did have to pivot on one of our vendors later in the planning process due to a family emergency, and it was all hands on deck to find a replacement who was just as talented.

I am also appreciative of the attention to detail the whole team gave. Even down to the monogram “L” on the dance floor and face masks we handed out to the welcome gift bags. I basically sent my Pinterest board and said, “I trust you,” and it paid off. Most importantly, during our wedding day, I didn’t have to worry about a single logistics issue or minor mishap, as the team took care of it while we could just be in the moment and enjoy the day. I am so grateful for all of the work the team put into our wedding. It truly was our dream wedding, and all of it can be attributed to the planning, coordination and creativity of the i-do team. Thank you SO much for everything you do, and if you are a bride-to-be reading this review, you will NOT regret using this team to help you plan your big day!

"Brigid and Karen are the dream team. We would have been so lost without them. They are unbelievably organized and had the very best recommendations for other vendors to work with. I loved how honest they were with me throughout the entire process. They were not afraid to say "that's a waste of money" or "I think you'll regret that choice". I truly cannot recommend them enough.

The best single example of their flexibility and can do attitude came during our reception. After the father/daughter dance and during the mother/son dance my grandma came to me and said my grandpa would like to have a dance with me too. I told Brigid what was going on and she was able to coordinate with the band to announce another dance and picked the perfect song based on my description of "slow and short". She did this in about 60 seconds. None of our guests knew that this dance wasn't originally planned as part of the evening. It was seamless. The dance ended up being something I'll always cherish being able to share with my grandpa and I'm so thankful Brigid was able to make it happen.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and that wasn't because there were zero hiccups, it was because the team from i-do took care of any issue before I even knew something had happened. They are the absolute best!!"

"The entire i-do Weddings & Events team is amazing! They made wedding planning fun and as stress-free as possible. Brigid and Karen were both wonderful to work with. They are reassuring, consistent, and calm advisors on all decisions - big and small. They are promptly responsive and always polite. Brigid helped us select amazing vendors (DJ, hair/makeup, photography, rehearsal dinner venue, videographer, bakery, etc.) and brought everything together.

My husband and I don’t live in Cincinnati so we knew straight away hiring a wedding planner might make the process smoother but it turned out to be an integral choice. I-do Wedding & Events was exactly what we were looking for. They have the local knowledge, connections, and experience to basically predict our needs. Brigid and Karen were super patient with all of our questions during the planning process and especially during the days leading to the wedding. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals to make our day the most amazing day ever.

On our wedding day, Brigid and her team were everywhere at once - always ensuring that our people were where they needed to be. Without them, I have no idea how anything would have worked at all. Half of our family would’ve been on the wrong floor and the rabbi would still be trying to find parking. Brigid collaborated with the venue coordinator and orchestrated the day seamlessly.

Members of the wedding party had only positive things to say about Brigid, her team, and the vendors we hired who had Brigid’s personal stamp of approval. I would go out of my way to recommend i-do Weddings & Events to all of my friends and family for any event they are organizing."

"We started working with Brigid, her designer Karen, and the i-do wedding team eighteen months before our daughter’s wedding in June 2024. At the time, the bride, groom, and our families were in different cities outside of the Cincinnati area. Brigid coordinated all the site visits and vendor appointments whenever we could be in town. She presented us with top choices in vendor selections and worked with us in making countless decisions. We were thrilled with the designs that Karen put together. She incorporated elements that were very personal to our family, and she carried the beautiful designs into all aspects of the wedding day.

The true test of Brigid and her team’s dedication and professionalism came through during the wedding day. We had weather challenges that led to a rain delay for the outdoor ceremony and a pause during our reception due to a severe thunderstorm with near hurricane level winds. Brigid, her team, and the vendors that she helped us choose, all went above and beyond to keep the wedding going. They made sure all our guests were well taken care of and the wedding celebration continued without missing a beat. We received countless compliments from our families and guests on our daughter’s wedding weekend.

We would strongly recommend Brigid and her team for any family planning a wedding or any important events. The i-do wedding team has the vision and experience to plan, produce, and execute a truly memorable celebration."

"Shortly after our daughter got engaged, we decided to hire a wedding planner. We knew that using a planner would make everything easier since our daughter and her fiancée both live out of town and are busy with their careers. After doing some research, I interviewed several planners on the phone. I instantly knew when I spoke with Brigid Horne-Nestor from i-do Weddings and Events that she was the planner for us, and my daughter agreed. We all just “clicked” and felt like we had a true team of friends helping us with the planning.

Due to her years of experience, Brigid is extremely knowledgeable about everything necessary for planning a wedding in Cincinnati. She was extraordinarily helpful during the entire wedding planning process. She helped us to find the venue for the wedding and the reception and made suggestions regarding vendors (florist, photographer, videographer, DJ, bakery, photo booth, stationery, hair and makeup artists, etc.) Brigid even compiled an extensive list of possible Welcome Party venues for the night before the wedding. Every vendor that we hired based on her recommendations was fabulous.

We’re all very detail-oriented and organized people, but Brigid never flinched at our numerous questions or concerns. She or her team always answered all of our emails or phone calls in a timely way. She understood all of our concerns, whether they were legal, financial, religious, dietary, or social. Brigid was always considerate of family dynamics and respected everyone’s opinion. I truly believe that Brigid is part planner and also part counselor, friend, and wizard.

Karen Montgomery, another valuable team member, expertly guided us through all of the design elements for the wedding - including giving advice and suggestions regarding color schemes, attendants’ clothing, flowers, linens, stationery, etc. She made excellent and attractive suggestions and was responsive to all budget concerns. We got rave reviews from all our guests, and we are certain that the wedding would not have been as lovely without Karen’s assistance.

Brigid and her team assisted us during the entire planning process and on the wedding day. Everything happened seamlessly. Brigid and her staff handled all of the details on the day of the wedding, freeing us to enjoy the day. We’re so happy that we didn’t have to carry a clipboard and folders on the wedding day; instead, Brigid and her team handled everything.

Hiring i-do-Weddings & Events to help plan the wedding is one of the best decisions that we made since our daughter got engaged. She and her team helped to create a magical, unforgettable wedding which everyone enjoyed."
