Wedding planner

Can anybody recommend a good wedding planner/coordinator? I'm trying to plan my Oregon coast wedding from California and it's not exactly easy! I think I might need some help as far as venues and accomodations go.

Thanks!

    I went to college with Nora (Totonchy) Sheils of Bridal Bliss in Lake Oswego. We weren't friends, but she was a nice woman and I've seen nothing but good reviews of her services.

    Her mother is Anna Totonchy, who runs Anna's Bridals (which someone on this board has reviewed negatively).

    I am using Bon Soiree. They have a website if you google them. Molli and Krissa are great. I am super busy with work so they email me- which works great. All of my vendors say they are the best! Plus- they do so many weddings they know which vendors are the best. This has really saved me a ton of time! I have 39 days to go and feel like things are organized and ready! It is nice not to be worring about any details right now.

    Mermaid,
      I worked with Melanie from Your Perfect Bridesmaid ( www.yourperfectbridesmaid.com).  She was on every detail that I needed taken care of and she's super sweet.  Totally recommend YPB.  Hope you find someone that works for you! :)
    The owner of Tower told my friend, while my friend was trying on gowns, that she needed to lose weight and was pasty.  Nice.

    Correction--- didn't mean Tower.  I meant Anna's.

    Muse Event Planning is absolutely amazing! They really work with you and what you need and listen to your desires and are very accurate in fulfilling it. They are also incredibly reasonably priced and very professional.

    There are a number of good, established wedding planners in town.

    Blush Bridal
    Ooh La La Events
    Bridal Bliss
    Soiree
    Champagne Events

    I'd recommend all of these because they have real planning experience.  Be wary of planners who startes a business after planning their own wedding or are DJ's wives.  They may not have much practical experience.

    Nora (Totonchy) Shiels of Bridal Bliss planned our wedding in September 2008.  She was phenomenal.  She saved us so much money with our vendors, and she really decreased my stress on our wedding day. Everything was beautiful and went smoothly.
