What Our Families Day About Their Covenant Day
My husband and I had our vow renewal and 1st marriage anniversary on March 25, 2023. We were so excited to finally celebrate our marriage in front of friends and family after 1.5 years of planning. We live in Michigan and were excited to have a destination wedding at Buffalo Trace Distillery. We had asked our photographer for any wedding coordinator recommendations in the local KY area and Ladina's contact info was shared with RAVING reviews! And we could not agree more. Ladina and Eydie made our wedding an absolute dream come true. These ladies are so wonderful and kind. They went above and beyond to make everything PERFECT. Not only keeping us on schedule, setting up decor beautifully, allowing us complete peace of mind without a worry in the world! Also when my husband got super emotional before the ceremony, they gave him the sweetest pep talk and reminded him how beautiful and okay it is to cry in this special, spiritual, and emotional day.
We found out just days before our wedding that we are expecting our first baby and we wanted to share the surprise news with our parents at the wedding in an intimate photo reveal moment. Although a last minute request just days before our wedding day, they answered with such joy and didn't hesitate to bring this surprise moment to life. Ladina helped us pull it off so seamlessly. It is a moment we will cherish for the rest of our lives and I'm positive my parents will cherish as well.
We cannot thank them enough for the wonderful day they gave us, the most beautiful experience, eliminating all stressors and truly allowing us to remain in the moment of a once in a lifetime experience! Don't hesitate to book them for your wedding. I guarantee it will be the best decision you make.

"Ladina and Eydie were a calming and organized presence throughout the entire planning process and wedding. We knew what we wanted for our special day but needed their guidance & assistance in pulling everything together. We came to them late in the game and they tailored our event as if they had been planning with us from the beginning.
Ladina and Eydie took the time to understand our vision and offered several suggestions and solutions. Being always just a phone call or text away they kept us on task and organized with our timeline, vendors, ceremony and reception etc... and helped alleviate any stressors we had.
If anything went wrong on our wedding day we were unaware, which is exactly how a bride and groom should feel! Our day was seamless and flowed perfectly due to Ladina and Eydie being our first line of defense. Any concerns or issues they handled for us, so we were able to enjoy every moment. We will be forever grateful for these two amazing women and their dedication for planning weddings in a caring and personal way. By the end of our experience they felt like family."

Thank you again!

From the moment we met Ladina and her team we knew that she was the one to entrust in bringing together a perfect day for our daughter’s wedding. The commitment and skill in ensuring that no detail was overlooked and that everything was handled allowed us to be fully present during a wonderful chapter in our family’s history. We received countless comments from even our guests who appreciated how attentive they were to their needs as well. Planning such a life changing event is a journey and Ladina was with me and our daughter every step of the way. Mary (mother of the bride) Sept 2023

"My family and I got to see Ladina and Eydie’s work first-hand at my cousin’s wedding in May 2022, while I myself was in the midst of planning for my wedding that October. It was a beautiful day for my cousin and the wedding went off without a single hitch - seriously, I don’t think a single thing went wrong, and I was the maid of honor, so I would’ve known! As my then-fiance and I prepared to leave the wedding, my parents pulled me aside and said that we absolutely needed Covenant to coordinate our wedding, too! My parents and I honestly didn’t know what coordinators did, but we knew we needed that level of organization and preparedness behind us for my big day.
After several planning meetings with Covenant, I felt much better about all my wedding details. They have thought of everything you need to plan for and they are also a great sounding board to bounce ideas off of. There were many things of which I was unsure during the planning process, and Ladina was always just a text away and usually two steps ahead of me! She worked diligently to establish contact with all the vendors ahead of time so that everyone was on the same page day-of, and most importantly, so me and my family could enjoy my wedding and not have to worry about the background orchestration of hosting an event for 200+ people. On the day of my wedding, Ladina and Eydie were right there with me and my husband, guiding us along to our next important slot of the jam-packed day. It would have been a much different day without their support. As we reflect on our wedding day, we are so filled with gratitude for everything they have done for us, especially their faithfulness in prayer all throughout the planning process and even after our wedding day."

Ladina and Eydie did an outstanding job coordinating our daughter’s wedding. They had every detail covered! We used to wonder what a wedding coordinator did… now we know…everything! As the mother of the bride, I was able to enjoy the day, a day as special as the day we got to meet our baby girl! GSW (2022)

December 3rd was our special day and we were so glad that day had finally arrived. You don't realize all the details that have to be decided and executed that day until you start the process. We reached out to Covenant Wedding and Event Designers to help us navigate that journey. We instantly fell in love with Ladina and Edie (probably spelled this way wrong) at our first meeting.
As we spoke about what our dreams were for our wedding, they listened and then gave us great feedback with more things to consider that we hadn't thought about. We knew after that meeting that they were the ones to walk beside us in this journey. We had several additional meetings to finalize the details and choose things like flowers to seating arrangements and everything between. It was such a great feeling that whenever we asked questions about all our choices, that the response was always 'We have that covered'. Their expertise and personal care created a dream day December 3rd.
Of all the memories we have of that day, our journey with Covenant Wedding and Event Designers will be included. Their commitment to pray for us as a couple for the next year was far beyond what we expected and such a blessing. We continue to look through our pictures and reflect on all the finer details that made our day the best! We would strongly recommend Covenant Wedding and Event Designers to anyone who is considering a unique and personal experience for their event or special day! (2022)

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Covenant Wedding & Event Designers and Ladina/Eydie. Without a doubt, they MADE my special day what it was and there's no way we could have done it without them. You are crazy not to book them if you can!
Ladina & Eydie are highly communicative, from the in-take meeting to the monthly, and weekly check-ins. It was nice to have someone there to make sure I was on track, giving guidance, and support. I was very detailed with my vision, and having them as a team to rely on was a tremendous help and extremely appreciated.
They were extremely dedicated. We had rain the day before and the day of the wedding and they went above and beyond to try and accommodate having the ceremony outside. We had to deal with a lot of last minute changes due to the fact they wanted to wait until the last minute to decide if we needed to move the wedding into the barn. Once I realized we couldn’t have the wedding outside I had to put all my faith into their team to still meet my vision without seeing the “ceremony space” before walking down the aisle. Their team went into overdrive to make the barn extremely warm and intimate. We so appreciated them being in our corner and fighting to make it the best possible outcome for us given the circumstances (honestly we loved the indoor feel of the ceremony, probably better then having it outside)
​
Maybe most importantly, Ladina and Eydie ran our wedding SO timely. Everything stayed on schedule thanks to them. I now know how easy it is for things to run over but not ours. All I had to worry about was having the time of my life because Ladina & Eydie took care of everything and prompted each next step when it needed to happen. I really can't overemphasize how great that is. We trusted them and the result was we got to truly be in the moment of our special day and nothing was amiss.
Not only are they coordinators but they also offer the services of being over floral, which was such a relief. They did absolutely amazing work executing my dream board of florals, and making the venue come to life. The fact they were able to take “two” vendors from my list and turn it into one was needed more than I ever knew. I was so grateful they could help carry out this portion of the wedding details as well so it was something we could check off our list.
Overall, I would highly recommend Covenant wedding & Event Designers to any of my friends and family. The icing on the cake? All this and they were also within my budget. Thank you for everything you did to make our special day what it was. It wouldn't have been the same without you! Unforgettable!

When it comes to wedding expenses, having a wedding coordinator was the lowest priority for me because of planning on a budget.
After meeting with them, it became very apparent that they, along with the services they provide, were going to be the only way for my husband and I to be able to take in every second of our daughter's wedding day. That is priceless! The most important part for me, as her mom, was that they began praying for them and their union that day and continued through the wedding. What a blessing! This team was hands down, the best money spent for our daughter's wedding. So many small things from the day will be forgotten overtime, but the flow of the wedding and experience of it, IS what will be remembered. They are full service coordinators and they go above and beyond for your day and this is who they are. From coordinating with vendors to keep everything on time, to having a sewing kit to fix the belt on my daughter's dress, arranging beautiful flower arrangements for the venue and bridal party and helping decorate, to waiting until the last possible moment to tell my daughter her outside wedding was going to have to be moved inside (because they wanted her to have her outside wedding, it was not about what was easiest for them) and then having to move flowers, tables, sound, and clear the aisle to create a beautiful entrance and the most beautiful altar where they said "I Do". We showed up, got ready and enjoyed every second from beginning to end and we would not have been able to do that without Ladina and Eydie.
Their services were the best decision made for the wedding.

Ladina and Eydie welcome you in and make your wedding day their priority; they make you feel like the only couple in the world! It is their mission to delight and surprise you in ways that are creative, touching, tasteful, and unique. Rather than cookie-cutter, they sit down and listen to how you want to make YOUR wedding, YOUR wedding.
My groom stated that they both went "above and beyond the call of duty" during our Covid-19 wedding. They turned a day that could have been a somber affair (missing our friends and family who couldn't be there) into an incredible experience that resonates in our minds -- and even more so, our hearts -- so richly.
Working with Covenant Wedding & Events is like getting hugged by heaven -- a tremendous blessing, ineffable joy, and a decision you will not regret!

We were so pleased with Ladina and Eydie as our wedding coordinators! Ladina had many contacts and suggestions for vendors, and we were pleased with her recommendation for a caterer.
Our wedding occurred during COVID-19, and with all the uncertainty, we were changing significant logistics regarding location, number of guests, and ceremony four weeks out from the big day. Ladina and Eydie were involved at each step, helping us prioritize and keeping all details in line in the midst of last minute changes. Their input was critical in thinking through the implications of COVID-19 in order to prepare an environment that was beautiful and celebratory, but also made our guests feel safe and comfortable.
Ladina and Eydie were always available via text or phone and willingly provided insight into color scheme, guys' suits, invitations, and seating arrangements. They handled the flower order and decorated the arbor we were married under. We were very blessed to have them assist in our special day as everything went smoother than we could ever have anticipated and according to plan!
Thanks again for all you did for us!

One of the most important things to us on our wedding day was making sure that we were able to spend time with each other and our families without all the stress and anxiety that comes with making sure everything was perfect on the day of. Because of Ladina and Eydie, our big day was beautiful and more importantly, we got to focus our time being in the moment and soaking in all of the love. They took care of everything with such patience, kindness, and elegance. We are so happy they were part of our special day!

I’m so happy that I hired Ladina and Eydie to coordinate my daughter’s wedding! They did an outstanding job, and I had no idea how many hats they could wear and what a variety of skill sets they would bring to the occasion, just when I needed them. They fielded so many things for me in the foreground and the background so that I was able to relax and enjoy the event and the days preceding. The most amazing part was downloading with them afterward to hear all the stories of things they had handled that could have gone wrong had they not known what to do at just the right time. There was no medical emergency, wedding crasher or local official going to stand in the way of my daughter having the most beautiful and happy day of her life. All without me having a tense moment!
I also hired them to do all the decorating and flowers, and that is probably the number one thing our guests commented on after the bride and groom, of course! They were fabulous in every way and they were smart about knowing where to purchase each type of flower for the best price. My wedding was out of town in a venue they had not used before, but Ladina and Eydie stepped to that challenge in a professional manner, not skipping a best. They best part of my experience with them was their generous and kind personalities, and this demeanor set the tone throughout the occasion for all the participants and guests. Everyone felt at ease with them and was treated with respect - I know, because so many people kept telling me! They truly brought Christ’s love from their own hearts and poured it into our family’s special event, so joyfully I forgot sometimes they were “working”.

My husband and I got married in June 9, 2018. It was one of the best days thus far in our life, and it could not have been possible without Ladina and Eydie.
Being a bride on her wedding day you have a million things running through your mind on what needs to be done. As a groom you are only focused on doing everything you’re new wife has told you to do.
Our wedding was in a barn, with that rustic feel to it, which is what we both wanted. Ladina & Eydie helped to set up the entire day and evening. We met several times before with Ladina and Eydie to plan out all the nights festivities. Both ladies showed up with a laid out plan on what was going to help me, as the bride, to relax and feel amazing on my wedding day.
Words can’t express how much of a blessing it was to have their help in this process. Anyone would be lucky to have them by their side in helping create the happiest day for a couple.

Ever since my daughter Brooke was a little girl, I had dreamed of the day that her and I could plan the wedding of her dreams together. That dream began on St. Patrick’s day, March 17, 2018. I was dressed in my special green blouse with a big smile on my face and so much joy in my heart. Myself and our entire family surprised my newly engaged daughter and now wonderful son-in-law Brandon at one of their favorite restaurants in Lexington, Kentucky. After that evening Brooke and I began talking and planning, and of course looking at Pinterest. It was such an exciting and happy time, however, some thoughts kept going thru my head, “how can we do this, this, and this, and not be stressed, exhausted, be able to enjoy the day, I want the day to be special, we really want to do this, there won’t be enough time, I am only one person, I want my close family to enjoy the day too.” I could go on and on... Eydie then shared with me about her and her business partner Ladina’s wedding planning business. I had my answer on how I could enjoy that special day and not be overwhelmed. Ladina and Eydie were wonderful! They assisted us with the rehearsal dinner, they thought of things that Brooke and I didn’t even think of, and trust me we are both major planners and very organized. The day of the wedding was a beautiful day just like I had always dreamed of with my daughter and family. I enjoyed the day so much. I was not exhausted and I was not stressed. I had 100% confidence in both Ladina and Eydie. They took such good care of everything especially our guests. I am so glad we had them there with us on this very special day!
