Full service. Fully invested. Every time.

Bekah, the owner of Finer Side, was our wedding planner, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. I am not usually one to write detailed online reviews, but I feel like every bride considering a wedding planner needs to know just how talented Bekah is and how much of a difference she made in our wedding experience. I actually met Bekah through a Facebook group while planning our destination wedding at Atelier Playa Mujeres. When I first reached out to her, I specifically told her I probably *wasn't* looking to hire a wedding planner because I was worried about the added cost. I really just wanted to pick her brain about her own experience getting married at Atelier and offered to pay her for her time. After one 30-minute conversation, I had completely changed my mind and knew I wanted (nay - needed) to hire her. The funny thing is, Bekah didn't try to sell me at all. It was actually the opposite. I could immediately sense how genuinely passionate she is about what she does, how knowledgeable she was, and—most importantly—that she truly had her couples' best interests at heart. Looking back, hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her services were worth EVERY penny. Wedding planning can be stressful, especially when you're planning a destination wedding, but Bekah made the entire process so much more manageable and enjoyable. I never once doubted that something would get taken care of. She was incredibly communicative, kept me informed without overwhelming me, made sure I stayed on track, and was always there when I had a question or needed advice. She was also fantastic at sourcing vendors, comparing options, advocating for us, and making sure we were getting the best value possible. I always felt like she cared about our budget as if it were her own. I already thought Bekah was amazing throughout the planning process, but somehow she impressed me even more during our wedding weekend. I think I told her "you saved my life" multiple times throughout the wedding day—and I meant it every single time. She was incredibly organized, calm, proactive, and present from beginning to end. Even in the middle of all the inevitable wedding-day chaos, she still made a point to check on *me*—making sure I had what I needed, that I was enjoying myself, and that I wasn't worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. There were issues that came up throughout the day, from misspelled signage to weather concerns and other last-minute hiccups, and I didn't even know about most of them until other people told me the next day. Bekah had handled all of them, and done so with such authority and poise that I never knew that things were going any way but perfect. That, to me, is what makes her so exceptional. She doesn't just help you plan a beautiful wedding—she takes ownership of the details so that when the day finally arrives, you can actually be present and enjoy it. I never felt like I needed to manage anything, check on anyone, or solve a problem. I got to be a bride, enjoy every moment with my husband, our family, and our friends, and trust that Bekah had everything else covered. If you're on the fence about whether hiring a wedding planner is worth it, take it from someone who originally thought she didn't need one: HIRE BEKAH. I would make that decision again a hundred times over. She genuinely cares about her couples, is exceptional at what she does, and gave us something that is hard to put a price on—the ability to fully enjoy our wedding without worrying about everything happening behind the scenes. Bekah, thank you for taking such incredible care of us and for playing such a huge role in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. We are so grateful for you! ❤️

Bekah Gilmer with The Finer Side was absolutely instrumental in making our wedding day seamless. Truly, the day only went as smoothly as it did because of her.

Her ability to coordinate so many moving parts with confidence and precision created an experience that felt effortless and completely care-free for us. We were able to be fully present and trust that everything behind the scenes was being handled flawlessly. Bekah brings a strong, no-nonsense demeanor that is exactly what you want on a wedding day.

We could not have asked for a more amazing wedding planner!

Daughter number three married this past weekend at Barnsley Resort and Bekah has been involved in all three. This last one was her sole responsibility as owner of The Finer Side and I could not be happier with Bekah's execution. Her professionalism and approachability are what makes her uniquely qualified to coordinate one's event! I require 100% participation from my planner start to finish and Bekah delivered that level of service! She is conscientious of a budget, has well vetted vendors to recommend and shows up with plenty of help on wedding day. Do not hesitate to hire The Finer Side as you will not be disappointed.

I can't say enough good things about Bekah and her team! From the very beginning, she was attentive, organized, and genuinely excited about helping me and my now husband create a wedding that felt like us. Her attention to detail and ability to think through everything with expert review was incredible, but what I loved most was how she truly listened. My biggest fear going into the wedding planning process was that I would have to follow "typical" wedding ideas. However, that fear was quickly dissolved after my first call with Bekah. She always encouraged and helped me to make choices that reflected our personalities and vision. She gave us the space to be creative and have input, but also the direction and structure I needed to pull everything together beautifully. On top of her talent and professionalism, she was just so much fun to work with. Every meeting felt like chatting with a friend who happened to be an absolute expert at planning weddings. Because of her, the whole process felt calm and joyful instead of stressful, and the day itself was way beyond what I ever imagined. If you're looking for someone who will truly care about your vision, go above and beyond in every way, and make the experience easy and fun (as it should be!), I don't think you'll find anyone better than Bekah. I'm so grateful for her and can't recommend her enough!

Bekah is absolutely the best coordinator ever. Everything was taken care of. I trusted her fully and my vision was executed with the greatest precision and beauty. I am so happy that she was my coordinator because it made the day of so much easier and efficient. Stress free!!! Highly recommend

Bekah was a phenomenal coordinator. Her attention to detail, perfectionism, structure, and punctuality is impressive. Everything went extremely smooth because of the time she spent behind the scenes to prepare for the wedding and making sure everything was attended to. Like our youngest daughter Sasha said, "Everybody always says something goes wrong on their wedding day. But because of Bekah and how incredible she was, absolutely nothing went wrong. And she will be my wedding coordinator." Thank you Bekah!

Bekah is the most AMAZING coordinator! From a few weeks out of our wedding, she began planning and taking stress off of myself as the bride. She is so present day of, asking what you need and how she can help. Shes also very experienced and can help in SO many ways you may not even think of. Would recommend her highly to anyone planning an event!

Bekah and her crew are just AMAZING. They truly helped to make my dream Pinterest wedding come to life. As someone who gets overwhelmed super easily, it was so relieving to have The Finer Side's help to take care of all the details. I could not recommend anyone better!!!

The best wedding planner I could have asked for! She truly took all the stress away from planning a big destination wedding in 6 months. She had amazing attention to detail and gave me everything I asked for and more. After planning 3 of our family members weddings, she has become a good friend and part of our family.

Bekah and her crew are wonderful! She and her team bring such exceptional energy and joy to the wedding day while also being meticulous in their attention to detail and execution. As a photographer, I've seen how she makes sure every detail is handled with intention and care, while also ensuring the entire vendor team is aligned and can perform at their best. If there's a problem, she is phenomenal at putting out those fires without even telling the couple about it -- it truly allows every client the opportunity to be FULLY present without worrying about what may or may not go wrong. She is a true gem!

I would highly recommend The Finer Side to anyone looking for a planner who is driven, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about making every event special. I look forward to working with her again in the future!

I met Bekah at a wedding, I did last weekend. I was the saxophonist at the wedding and even though I was meeting Bekah for the first time, it felt like I already knew due to her personable spirit. Her clear directions made her so easy to work with too! Not only was my job, made it easier, but I had a chance to witness the bride and groom be able to fully enjoy their evening because Bekah was on top of things! She even started me a couple times because she would "appear" around me without me hearing her, coincidentally, right when I had a question😂! Definitely would recommend her!

We had the absolute best experience with Bekah for my son's birthday party! From start to finish, everything was handled with so much care, creativity, and professionalism. The decorations were beautiful, the schedule flowed perfectly, and every little detail was thought of so I didn't have to stress about a thing. My son and all of his friends had the time of their lives, and I got so many compliments from guests on how fun and well-organized everything was. I can't recommend The Finer Side enough, truly made the day unforgettable!

Such a seamless process! So thankful I used Bekah to coordinate my wedding. She made my day perfect & made sure everything was exactly the way I wanted start to finish!

Bekah was amazing!!! Handled everything we threw her way. She made our experience so enjoyable and stress free. She's your GIRL!
