I simply cannot put into words how fantastic Pure Luxe Bride is! They were so incredibly easy and fun to work with. The planning process was so fun, but seeing it all come to life on the wedding day was unbelievable. I was able to fully enjoy [my wedding day] because I knew that Pure Luxe had everything under control. Every vendor that they recommended was equally amazing. If I could do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing. It was PERFECT! We love them!!

Pure Luxe Bride made our dream elopement a reality. I could not be more thankful for Francesca and Blake and all of their hard work to make our day so special. I contacted them 6 weeks before the elopement after our out-of-the-country wedding was canceled due to the pandemic. I had already planned a wedding and was completely over planning another one. Thanks to PLB all we had to do was show up. I truly couldn’t imagine getting married any other way now. Not only was it beautiful and perfect in every way, it most definitely was the best and most memorable day of our lives!

Francesca and Blake, the masterminds and superwomen behind Pure Luxe Bride, are simply amazing at what they do! I consider myself an anxious person, and they helped ease my anxiety on any and every detail of the wedding. They were also so accommodating in helping me find vendors that fit my desired style and price points. When working with them, you can tell just how many years they’ve had experience in the event planning field and they have clearly made strong connections with many desired vendors. You would think planning a wedding amidst the pandemic would evoke chaos and stress, but I luckily did not feel either with the help of Blake and Francesca! My wedding was the best day of my life, every little detail was perfect and accounted for, and most importantly I was able to enjoy my wedding day to the fullest without having to worry. If you are looking for wedding planners that will devote all of their energy and resources to helping you achieve your dream wedding, while also being kind and attentive to your needs, then these are your girls!

How do I put into words how special these two women are? They are simply indescribable. On March 18, 2020, my wedding was canceled with a few day’s notice. They handled this news with poise and grace. This was not the outcome we hoped for, but in a way a true blessing because we were able to re-do the event knowing how to be as safe as possible in the new year. Now one year later we have successfully thrown a 100-person wedding without a single person being sick. This is due to the detail and immense planning for a new socially distanced event. For those considering Pure Luxe Bride as their planners, look no further; Francesca and Blake handled every single detail and were the organized and caring partners I needed during these times. The wedding and reception were utterly dreamlike – a complete fairytale. They are truly experts who not only know and respect you as a couple, but bring together amazing ideas that will set your wedding a part. My wedding day was the best day of my life – this is 100% due to them making it happen. They made all of my ideas a complete reality in an uncertain environment.

Words cannot describe the PHENOMENAL experience that I had with Pure Luxe Bride. These two women are so INCREDIBLE at what they do and they completely surpassed any expectation that I had for my wedding. I began researching venues and wedding planners in the summer of 2019 and from the first conversation I had with Prue Luxe Bride (PLB) they were always willing to do two things. One, plan my vision of my perfect wedding and two, they were always very real with me when it came to costs/time/vendors, etc., to make my vision happen. After meeting with Blake in-person, I felt that the entire PLB team understood me, my husband and what we were was going for in terms of the look and feel of our wedding. Both Francesca and Blake knew who I was as a bride and paired me with all the right people. The day of my wedding I was completely carefree because I knew I had the two best people making sure everything was running seamlessly. They created and brought to life the most perfect day I could ever imagine and I don’t think I will ever stop smiling from how amazing of a job they did. They truly surpass being PHENOMENAL at what they do.

Your wedding planner is going to be the most important decision you will make for your wedding. It will set the whole tone of the event and can either really help or cause more stress. That being said, hire Francesca and Blake. We worked with them for all of our wedding events including the rehearsal brunch, welcome party, ceremony, and reception and everything went perfectly because of their expertise and attention to detail. From the beginning, they answered every email from me within hours, and more often than not, they would take care of things or get the ball rolling with vendors before I had even thought about it so when it came time to make a decision all I had to do was look at the details they sent over and say “sounds great”. They made the whole process so simple, I never felt stressed in the year planning, even when people backed out at the last minute due to COVID or the weather dropped by 10 degrees and we had to add heaters and blankets. Everyone at our wedding commented on how spectacular it was and how amazing all the little details were – which was all due to the Pure Luxe team. They are an amazing team that exceeded our expectations every step of the way!

All I can say is, thank god for Francesca and Blake and Pure Luxe Bride! Being in the events industry, my mom and I didn’t think we were going to have wedding planners, and my entire family is so grateful that we had them as part of our entire wedding process. Everything leading up to our wedding, and on the actual day, would not have been the same if we didn’t have them there, leading the charge! Our first wedding was postponed due to Hurricane Florence and Francesca and Blake were on EVERY SINGLE DETAIL. Within three hours of knowing we had to reschedule, we had a new date booked with all of our original vendors on board. Fast forward to today, having worked together for almost two years, we consider them more friends than planners. They were there for every single step, with amazing email communication and phone calls.

Blake and Francesca are the best!! These two are so incredible to work with and as a pair were always on the same page. They helped me as a long-distance bride get everything done when I needed and wanted to. They were always quick to answer and kept me on track with all things wedding-related! They have great attention to detail and completely understood what I wanted my big day to look like from start to finish! They are both friendly, calm, and collected which is extremely helpful throughout the process, and they’re there with solutions for any hiccups that occur. Day of I had a tiny skinny heel that kept sinking into the grass and without skipping a beat they offered to run out and get me heel stoppers. Made me feel like Cinderella! They went above and beyond for me, my groom, and my family, and helped our day be stress-free and fun! Loved having them as part of our special day.

After Pure Luxe Bride created the most spectacular wedding for my sister, I knew that one day I would call them to do mine–and boy did they deliver! Francesca and Blake are true magicians. We took them out of their comfort zone to Block Island, RI, where they found the most AMAZING New England vendors that transformed my wedding dreams into reality. They are sweet, calm, and incredibly professional. They manage to work things out no matter what obstacles are thrown their way, always solving problems before they even came to our attention. Francesca and Blake are meticulous, responsive, and unbelievable creative. They made everyone involved in our wedding feel at total ease throughout the entire weekend. Having worked with PLB on two weddings in the span of three years, our family is lucky enough to consider Francesca and Blake our friends more so than our planners. We are eternally grateful for all that they did to make it the most magical weekend of our lives.

From the beginning, Francesca and Blake strived to understand us as a couple as well as our vision for the wedding. Because we were having an out of town wedding, we weren’t familiar with local vendors and they were able to provide us with an amazing team that worked seamlessly together. They were always ahead of the game and so punctual with their communication it was almost unreal. When a hurricane tried to get in the way of our big day, they did everything in their power to make it go off without a hitch, resulting in sleepless nights and continuous coordination with our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. We will never be able to adequately express how thankful we are for these ladies!

Blake and Francesca’s attention to detail blew me away; they thought of several things to have at my wedding to make it unique. They made sure to keep my preferences in mind through every step of the planning process. This made working with them feel like I was working with close friends; they never pressured me to choose something that would cause me to go over budget. They will make sure you do not have a ‘cookie cutter’ wedding with their creative touches throughout your entire reception. Blake and Francesca’s fabulous sense of style will make your vision for your wedding be even better in person than you would have pictured it. You and your guests will have a fabulous time at your wedding with Blake and Francesca’s help!
