What people are saying about FLYING Pig advisors
Monica and Mac - May 2022
My wife and I began an adventure by fully embracing a DIY wedding. We selected a venue that offered zero amenities or support beyond the structure to host our event (to be clear: the venue had no kitchen and one bathroom some couple hundreds of yards away from the reception area). The whole idea sounded fun. We could control everything and make the wedding uniquely us. That, in hindsight, was... bold.
So then we called Briana after my wife found her website. Briana was quick to respond to our initial email and then fully supported us the entire process, especially the month prior to the wedding. We had at least eight vendors and Briana was happy to become the point of contact for them so we could focus on our duties as bride and groom on the day.
And then, as if it were on cue, it rained the morning of the wedding. More specifically: it downpoured.
Briana was the optimistic one of the bunch. Having checked the many weather radars and making an educated guess herself, she moved our outdoor wedding to an indoor/outdoor hybrid where our guests were covered by a porch while the ceremony was performed right in front of our guests on the venue's lawn. And then, as if it were on cue, the sun came out. It turned out perfect.
Our advice to anyone getting married is to hire as many people as you can. To add to that: your first hire should be Briana. You need a point person to run the show and she was absolutely incredible. Instructing vendors on where the tables go, how the place settings were to be laid out, timing the dinner serving, to collaborating with our officiant and MC: Briana was absolutely awesome on the day. She controlled the schedule and the day ran perfectly from our vantage point. As such, we could not recommend anyone higher.
Liz and Mike - Wedding Website Creation
Briana was wonderful to work with! For some background, navigating through all the vendors when planning a wedding is one of the more daunting and overwhelming research processes I have ever endured. While juggling these full time jobs, I am forever thankful that I connected with Briana. With Briana’s experience and expertise in all of the areas of wedding planning, she filtered each market to the main vendors I should consider based on our interest, taste and budget. Briana’s biggest help was building our wedding website which turned out beautiful and suited us perfectly as a couple. I would highly recommend future brides consider connecting with Briana whether it is for the full wedding planning or for what helped me, the vendor research and website creation.
Rebecca and Robbie - August 2019
We were so lucky to have Briana with us on our wedding journey! We got married at my parents’ home, so in addition to all your normal wedding stresses, we had a lot of nonconventional wedding worries (i.e. tents, bathrooms, electricity, parking, permits and the list goes on!). From my initial phone call with Briana I was wowed by her attention to detail and experience in planning and executing weddings from the ground up. All along the way she was thinking of enhancements as well as potential problems that no other vendor or planner had raised. Briana’s transparent and organized communication with our 15+ vendors kept everyone aligned and on schedule. My family and I felt completely at ease on the day of the wedding knowing that Briana was there to handle everything behind the scenes. Her professionalism, creativity and energy are unmatched! No job is too big or too small for Briana. I would not plan another event without Briana’s guidance and expertise in the mix.
Julie & Jane of Live art Creations - August 2019
From our initial conversation through wrapping up on the event site, I knew Briana held all of the details to support us. Working with her at Rebecca’s wedding gave us the confidence to deliver our product at the most professional level. On a side note, her understanding of the purpose for live art at a wedding exceeded our own experience within the wedding industry. As a result, her eye for placement of the main easel and backup art station streamlined our need for onsite problem solving. I can’t imagine accomplishing the work we did without her wisdom, guidance and positive energy.

Briana was fantastic to work with. Her attention to detail was incredible! Briana was critical when making our timeline for the day. She remembered every detail to ensure that the day ran smoothly. She provided excellent insight and we were so happy to have her! She has wonderful ideas and lots of energy!
