WOW - I cannot say enough good things about Wedy. Our wedding day was a stress-less dream thanks to them. We always wanted to have our wedding be about US and not putting on a production for other people, so eloping was a perfect choice. Wedy made our dream a reality. From day 1, Rumi was informative with answers to questions, transparent with pricing, and patient while we figured out what we wanted. I shopped around and they were the most affordable option with the best value. We went with the all-inclusive package. The entire Wedy team is exceptionally creative, kind, professional, and fun, not to mention being incredibly talented at what they do. Highly recommended!!
As I have been a part of a lot of family weddings the past few years I’ve realized how difficult/annoying/inefficient using Facebook groups and group chats are for trying to coordinate all the things that go into it. The Wedy app made the organization and payments easier through their all in one packages. I received a customized proposal from my coordinator Olly who was very helpful and professional through the whole planning process and on the day of. We would highly recommend the wedy team for your wedding day, they are the best.
I cannot recommend them enough! Booking through Wedy was so easy and convenient! I loved that everything was all in one place and so thoughtfully put together. The process was seamless and hassel free and gave us piece of mind. The Wedy team put together a dream team of vendors that made our El Matador beach elopement better than we could have ever imagined.
