The Blue Satin Bees are a professional, positive, and flexible planning group.
"As the father of the Bride, I wanted to make sure every detail was covered. The Bees were on it! Their team approach along with a dedicated lead planner, we were always kept up to date on the progress. My daughter wanted two things for her wedding: at the beach and epic! While the ideas were flying, the Bees were a voice of reason and encouragement. The Bees were always present to make sure each scheduled detail happened. Their willingness to work with our unusual requests (dance floor constructed over a pool, synchronized swimmers, outdoor band and sometimes challenging venue) was reassuring and fun. I would not hesitate to engage them again!"
The best part of their service? On the day of the wedding all of us - friends, family, bride and groom - were able to focus on enjoying each other.
"Kim and Jumila were essential to the success of my daughter's wedding on Bald Head Island. They were so knowledgeable about the logistical challenges of a BHI wedding. Their careful planning, advice and design skills all worked together to create a beautiful event for my daughter and her husband. The best part of their service? On the day of the wedding all of us - friends, family, bride and groom - were able to focus on enjoying each other. We never had to worry about next steps because Kim and Jumila were on hand taking care of everything!"
The weekend of was truly a time to just enjoy and be present because of the trust that we were able to put with Kim and Jumila.
"We could not recommend Kim and Jumila aka The Bees, enough!!! The entire planning process was a smooth and wonderful experience. Kim and Jumila were present at each meeting and ready to work and knock things out. They were calm and collected through the whole process which made the process so stress free for my husband and I. Never once did I worry about what was going on at the venue while getting ready because I knew they’d make it wonderful. Again, we simply could not recommend them enough! We love the Bees!"
But what truly sets them apart is who they are. Kim and Jumila do not just plan weddings, they care about people.
"Working with Blue Satin Bee was one of the greatest blessings of our entire wedding journey. They created the coastal wedding weekend of our dreams, beautifully designing and coordinating every moment from the rehearsal dinner to our ceremony and reception and the farewell brunch. Every detail was thoughtful and meaningful and the entire weekend flowed effortlessly because of their dedication and planning."
Kim and Jumila were always just a text away and are now not just our former wedding planners but our friends.
“Kim and Jumila from Blue Satin Bee were the perfect wedding planners. Because my wedding in NC was a destination wedding, with my husband and I living up in DC, having wedding planners like Kim and Jumila was the only option. They know literally the entire wedding network in the area - not only do they have the network, they are beloved in the network. Each and every one of my vendors unprompted told me they love working with the Bees for their thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and kindness. “
