Love Notes

While we love planning all the details and witnessing ideas turning into tangible pieces in real-time, our greatest honor will always be the relationships we carefully cultivate with our couples. Learning about each couple’s shared story, most talked about adventures, and treasured relationships with family members and friends is a privilege we never tire of experiencing. Throughout every wedding, we are welcomed into a couple’s world as we share our industry with them — and for that we are forever grateful.

From my first phone call with Susan, I knew that I wanted her as our wedding planner! She is extremely knowledgeable of every and anything wedding! Susan recommended the best vendors- stationary, band, florist, lighting, the list goes on! She was present at every meeting and was able to guided us through it all! Each month she would provide a detailed budget sheet and working timeline of things needed to be done! Through the whole planning process Susan was there step by step, offering suggestions and great ideas to make our wedding truly personalized. Any time someone asked if we were working with a planner, and I said Susan, each person would respond ” She is the best!” And she truly was! My wedding day was absolutely amazing, Susan and her team made sure every last detail was taken care of, allowing us to be stress-freee and enjoy each minute! Thank you Susan and her team at The Styled Bride!!

Susan is the DREAM wedding planner. As a COVID bride, I could not be more grateful to have had Susan in our corner from day 1. She heroically helped plan our last-minute backyard micro-wedding when our original date was postponed, but she never lost enthusiasm for helping us plan our dream day a year later. Susan helped us choose an amazing team of vendors, and she saved us so many headaches by coordinating with them throughout a roller-coaster wedding planning process of date and venue changes! Susan is a true partner in the wedding planning process - she listens to your vision and then goes above and beyond to make sure your dream wedding comes to life with as little stress as possible. We have already recommended Susan to all of our newly engaged friends and will continue to do so forever and ever! You will never regret using Susan to plan your big day, and we will be forever grateful for her!

Susan from the Styled Bride was absolutely perfect! She was so supportive, she thought outside the box (for a very untraditional wedding) she was always on top of everything and never dropped the ball no matter how small the detail was she was on top of it! Weeks before my wedding people would say to me “OH MY GOD HOW ARE YOU SO CALM?!” and my answer would be “Susan Norcross is the reason I am so calm” Susan made me feel like she had everything under control and always was available to answer my questions and come up with solutions to problems. Our wedding was in my parents backyard so Susan was in charge of getting all of the vendors, negotiating every contract, setting up meetings with everyone (being very flexible with time) managing the budget and everything in between. My favorite part about working with Susan was how creative and innovative she is. She came up with some really unique ideas for the wedding; ones that you would never be able to find on Pinterest. Every single vendor she recommended was amazing!!! Down to the invitations. By the end of the day both my dad and I agreed that Susan was one of the best investments we have ever made, she made our dream wedding come to life!

Susan went above and beyond for our wedding at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, bringing our dreams to life in the most unbelievable way. I had very high expectations about what I wanted our wedding to become and Susan at the Styled Bride met every single one of them - speaking to me almost daily for two years to ensure this vision was developed with care and that every detail was accounted for. She is organized, has deep relationships with other top notch vendors in their fields, and knows how to pull off an amazing event. Even on the day-of I felt like she was in 10 places at once - I don't know how she does it but I couldn't have done any of it without her!! She's the best, 10 stars all around.

Wow, where do we start? Susan and her team are absolutely phenomenal. Words cannot express how thankful and happy we are that Susan was there to make sure our day was as magical as we planned! She and Kate were so lovely, patient, reliable, and cool under pressure...there is no way the wedding would have gone as planned without them! From the moment we brought her team on board, Susan brought a sense of calm and professionalism that immediately reassured us that we were in great hands. Leading up to our wedding, the level of communication and organization she brought was incredible. And she brought us so many creative ideas and recommendations that we would never have thought of! She’s a true veteran, and also highly connected within the Philadelphia wedding scene -- she has worked with everyone! I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to have her on our team. She was the coach, quarterback, defensive line…all in one. All we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves.

When I first began planning my wedding, the first thing my sister said to me was: hire Susan Norcross. I am so grateful for this suggestion. Susan was a godsend during these tumultuous times. When we had to pivot our wedding from a 160+ soiree in the city to an intimate microwedding in our backyard, Susan was there to help us make what we thought was "the best of a bad situation" into "the best wedding ever." Susan is easy to work with and wonderfully communicative. Whatever questions we had, she was right there with an answer or proposed solution. She made the preparation easy and reminded us of things we might forget-- like to make sure to have certain kinds of lighting during our outdoor evening event. I also appreciated how she kept in touch with all of our vendors and organized all of the communication with the wide array of people making our day happen. She checked in with us frequently, but we were given the opportunity during the last few stressful weeks of our wedding, not to have to worry so much about the various intricate logistics and I am very grateful. During the wedding, Susan was there to help us through the day, easing us through the shifts from pictures to ceremony to dancing to dinner. The night flew by and was truly spectacular. I felt like we were in remarkably competent hands and I would recommend Susan to ANYONE who wants to have a dream wedding.
