Testimonials - Serendipity & Co.

Hello Bernadette! Yes definitely been a while and can't believe the day has come and gone, but with your help and great work from you and Jessica we had a great time. We cannot get enough compliments on our wedding and thank you very much for the many little details that made the wedding perfect.

In regards to the vendors, the best vendor that you referred to us was Amanda from Celebrations, from my beautiful bouquet to the centre pieces she captured exactly what Marc and I wanted for the wedding. I loved our Menu tags from Patricia and the best for last. MANNY FROM PLATNIUM CONVENTION was an amazing hall and very accommodating, Paul and Randy with out a doubt made the best food and my guest can not stop asking on how great the food was.

Most importantly we need to thank you and cannot complain on anything to be adjusted as you have gone above and beyond for that day and the preparation for the day. Everything from our candy apples, to making sure everything was done on time and in a "serendipity Fashion". You made our wedding feel as if it was your own. Bernadette, thank you for all your support on our day and we always refer your services as well as tell people that are getting married that the best asset of that day is the wedding planner to ensure the day goes smooth and that you do not need to worry.

Have a Merry Christmas from Marc and myself. We hope to see you in the New Year. Thank you!

Hello Bern! Jer and I loved working with you and thought your services were amazing and integral to our wedding planning and on the day of. I can not imagine our day without you and definately don't think it could have been the amazing event it was without you.

Honestly you were great! You had expertise and information I never would have thought of. You kept us on track and organized the whole time. Thank you so much for everything!

Dear Bernadette! Where do we start? None of this would’ve been possible without you! We are so very appreciative and you did an amazing job! It meant alot to share our special day with you

Hello ladies of Serendipity & Co., Pat and I would like to thank the three of you (Bernadette, Jessica, and Nancy) from the bottom of our hearts for doing a awesome job on the most memorable moments so far in our lives. Bernadette Sousa and her staff are the most organized, professional, and patient team of women that I have ever seen. Their attention to detail is outstanding, and their personalities with wedding guest's are amazing. I highly recommend all brides out there to hire these wonderful women, your day will go as perfect as you always imagined it.

Once again ladies, thank you so much you ladies are amazing :)

Love,
Pat & Steph Iacobucci (your 50th wedding)

I closed my eyes and began to list the visions in my head...Oversized Martini Glass Centerpieces... Bridesmaids in Blue... and while I could go on the truth is not much of this list made the final cut. In all fairness we'd never planned a wedding before... What did we know?!?!?

It was the first meeting of many...It was at that meeting that Serendipity helped us choose June eleven, two thousand and eleven, and we never looked back. Starting from scratch Serendipity saw us through 18 months of planning. 18 months of visits, meetings, mock ups... all of which leading to changes upon changes and without a single complaint. With Serendipity by our side the New York Lounge vision evolved with every detail pushing the boundaries of the norm and representing us as the couple that we are and the love we share. Serendipity helped make our day everything we couldn't have even imagined...From day one to happily ever after!

Kimberley & Gary Oliveira- June 11, 2011

Thank you Bernadette and Jessica for all your hard work in making our special day one to remember. I never thought I needed a wedding coordinator but Tiago insisted in getting one. Thank God I listened to him because I don't know what I would have done without Serendipity & Co. Bernadette went above and beyond to make our big day extremely special and totally stress- free. We were able to enjoy every single minute of the day without a worry. Thanks again, Bernadette & Jessica, for coordinating our day, for all your hard work and dedication!

I would like to take a moment to thank Bernadette and her team Deidra and Jessica at
Serendipity & Co. for coordinating our special day. Bernadette, your ideas from our invitations, flowers to the final details at the hall were amazing and you knew exactly what I envisioned and we could not have been happier with the outcome. When you hire on Serendipity you can be sure that everything will run smoothly and you will enjoy your day to the fullest without any worries because Bernadette and her girls are taking care of everything for you. I could not have been happier to have worked with Bernadette - one thing with Bernadette is you are not just her client but you become a friend that you will have for life. Thank you for helping us coordinate our date! We could not have been happier with all the hard work you put into our day.

If you are stressing out over wedding plans and wishing for a Fairy Godmother, look no further and hire Serendipity & Co. as your wedding coordinators!

Bernadette, you went above and beyond what we could have asked for in a day of coordinator. Your attention to detail and organization were truly impeccable. You answered all our questions and provided us with great suggestions and ideas for our special day. Our wedding day just wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t for Bernadette and her team at Serendipity & Co.

Thank you for your hard work, professionalism, and most of all enabling us to completely enjoy our beautiful day.

Many thanks and best wishes,

Dennis & Laurie – June 4, 2011

We highly recommend Serendipity & Co. The level of dedication, creativity and passion that Bernadette and staff offer to a bride and groom is unique and personal. Bernadette and her staff coordinated our wedding day with professionalism and care. If we had the opportunity to do it all over again, we would want Serendipity & Co. from start to finish.

Jiovani & Leonor - April 16, 2011

I'd like to start off by thanking Bernadette, Stephanie and Brian for all you hard work and for making our wedding truly beautiful!! Both James and I could never thank the staff at Serendipity & Co enough. I especially want to thank Bernadette herself for not only being an amazing and dedicated wedding planner but for the passion she demonstrates not only for her job but also for her clients.

I remember when I first met Bernadette in her studio she told both me and my fiancé at the time that no matter the budget we can have our dream wedding. To be completely honest I didn't think that was possible on our budget (I like pretty and expensive things) but Bernadette proved me wrong. Bernadette and her team went above and beyond ours and our guests expectations. They took care of all the details and even provided us with ideas to make our wedding day a day we will cherish for the rest of our lives. A perfect example of that is that Bernadette was the one to find the perfect song for my Dad and I to dance to. I had been looking for months and it took her minutes to find it because she is a true expert in her field. Bernadette not only took care of our wedding plans, she also took care of us. She dealt with any situations that came up all the way leading up to the day of the wedding to ensure that our experience was stress free. James and I will be forever grateful to Bernadette and her team for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

Paula & James - September 25, 2010

They say wedding planners are a waste of money, but we could say Serendipity & Co. was definitely worth all of our pennies!

We admire Bernadette for her dedication and hard work into making our Snowflake Winter Wonderland Wedding spectacular and memorable. Bernadette brought such great ideas to such a laid back bride and groom. We are still getting compliments from our guests telling us how beautiful our wedding day was.

She thought of every single detail. I couldn't have done it without her. Bernadette is not just a talented and creative wedding planner but she became a great friend along the way. Whenever there was an ounce of stress or panic she was quick to help. We would highly recommend Serendipity & Co. to any couple planning their wedding. A BIG Thank You to Bernadette and her team for their hard work.

Thank you Bernadette and Deidre! We could not have asked for things to have run any smoother on our wedding day. You helped us to simply enjoy the day and not worry about all the little things. We’re so happy that you were available to be our day-of coordinators. The both of you were amazing and our family and friends were so impressed and thankful that you were there to keep us stress free. We would recommend you to everyone we know. Thanks so much!

I have to say that I never thought I would want or need a wedding planner until my sister-in-law introduced me to Bernadette. We had an automatic connection and she was so easy to get along with. Once I got to hear what Serendipity was all about, I was quick to hire Bernadette and her team.

From the planning to the actual wedding day, Serendipity was there 150%!!! Bernadette was amazing!!! She was helpful in planning the day but also a great support in my times of stress and panic!! to this day I don't know what i would have done without her and her team. Having Serendipity & Co. ensured that my family and I could enjoy the day to the fullest! Something I thought I never needed or wanted, turned out to be the thing I needed most!!! That being said, having Serendipity & Co. is definitely a wedding necessity!

Jana and Luis - May 15, 2010

There are no words I could use to describe the sensational work that came of Bernadette and the beautiful assistants of Serendipity and Co. At first we were reluctant about hiring a wedding coordinator and spent quite some time debating. I was concerned about losing control of my wedding.

After meeting with Bernadette and quickly realizing that we shared so many things in common I learned that by having her on my team I was gaining a friend, and another person who was going to be as passionate about our wedding as I was. I could not have been any more accurate, Bernadette is by far one of the greatest people you will ever meet. Not only will she help to make your every ‘little girl’ wedding dreams come true, but she truly does become a wonderful friend.

From day one Bernadette gave nothing but peace of mind. She was ALWAYS available for questions, and expressing concern, bouncing ideas off of, and even as a shoulder to cry on. Bernadette provided an abundance of support, a variety of reputable vendors, and more options and ideas then ever imaginable. From planning the wedding, to vendor appointments, rehearsal dinner, and right through the wedding day working with Serendipity was an absolute pleasure. Knowing that we had Bernadette there every step of the way was the best feeling.

From the bottom of our hearts we want the thank Bernadette, and Serendipity and Co. For not only their hard work and dedication but for their friendship, support, and love.

I would like to say thank you to Bernadette and her assistants at Serendipity & Co. She did an amazing job with helping us with our wedding; during planning and on our wedding day. She made our wedding day completely enjoyable and stress free from start to finish.

We had so many compliments about how well organized and beautiful the ceremony and reception was. She even went above and beyond her responsibilities to make our day perfect. Not only is Bernadette a very pleasant person and now a family friend, but her attention to detail and professionalism is amazing.

I highly recommend Serendipity & Co for your wedding day. Having a wedding planner is the best investment. You were worth every penny and much more. Also I would like to extend our thanks to your assistantsa as well. They were such a great help. We are so grateful to have found your company.

Serendipity & Co. did an absolutely fabulous job with my wedding. When my mother first hired them, I wasn't exactly sure if we needed them or not but they ended up taking care of things that I honestly hadn't even thought about! Our wedding day was quite hectic - with two ceremonies in one day there were many opportunities for things to go wrong. But Serendipity & Co. were there to take care of absolutely everything and I didn't have to spend any of my wedding day worrying about coordinating different events. They were all extremely professional and worked well with the other vendors that I had hired. My wedding ended up being a huge success and I know that I couldn't have done it without Serendipity & Co. I would recommend them to any bride - they will work hard to make your wedding day a perfect one!

Thanks,

We met at another wedding rehearsal and from that moment I just knew I had to have you at my own wedding! Bernadette, you always made yourself available whether it was to answer questions or let me use your office to help me set up my moneybox you offered excellent advice and helped me decide on beautiful finishing touches for my reception. Stephanie's help at the Living Arts centre with my dress was amazing! If she wasn't there I probably would of ended up ripping my dress. I felt at complete ease knowing that everything from the ceremony to the reception was in the hands of someone who cared as much about every little detail of my wedding as you did!

Every bride has at least 1 horror story of something that has happened on there wedding day, but I have none and that is because I have you to thank! So, thank you!!!!

We would like to thank you for your hard work and dedication you put in our wedding. You truly took the breath away from my guests. We received so many compliments from guests regarding everything, from the church with the butterfly release, to the Cuban dancers, all the way to how the party ended. You helped us from the very beginning and we cannot thank you enough! Thank you for making our wedding day stress free and very memorable.
We love you very much!

Alan & I would like to thank you, Bernadette, and your amazing staff for all of your hard work and detail that you put into our Wedding Day. You made sure that we were on time, organized and most of all, relaxed! I really appreciate your expertise and help and letting us really enjoy our Big Day!

Thank you so much Bernadette! My wedding reception was amazing and beautiful and I am so very happy!!! Thank you for helping make my dream wedding a reality! Your hard work and dedication will never be forgotten! You are a fantastic wedding planner and it was such a wonderful experience working with you!

"Serendipity and Co. did an amazing job with supporting us on our wedding day and in the days up to it. Bernadette made herself available to me with any questions, concerns or issues and was able to assist me in resolving them. She spent time with us to ensure she understood exactly what we were hoping for on the day of our wedding to be able to make it happen. She went through a thorough itinerary with us to ensure the day would go by smoothly and contacted all of our vendors to confirm their contracts for the day of the wedding. They were there with us during our rehearsal and ensuring it ran smoothly for us and our bridal party. On the day of the wedding, I felt as though there was nothing to worry about. They ensured the hall was decorated, the flowers were delivered, resolved any issues and was there for anything I needed. Overall, I was very pleased with their professional and friendly service; they made everything much less stressful through the final days of planning and on the day of the wedding. Jason and I want to thank Bernadette and Stephanie so much for helping us make our day so special."

Thank you very much for all your help in turning my dream into reality. I never thought I would have needed a coordinator and now I realize I don’t know if I would have remained so calm without all your help. Thank you.

Dear Bernadette, Thank you for everything! These words cannot convey the depth of gratitude of all our loving thoughts. We offer these common words and say thank you once again. We trust you will know how glad we are that you are our wedding coordinator.

Dear Bernadette and Serendipity & Co., we want to thank you for all your hard work & help on our wedding day. Not only did you make us feel at ease knowing that you will be taking care of everything, but you made us feel like a part of your family. You did your best to make the day perfect and overlooked everything to make the hall look beautiful. All your advice, input and professionalism made it an obvious choice that we made the best one.

Thank you with Love,
Diana & Alexander Fernandes - October 25, 2008

Bernadette, thank you for all of your assistance provided prior to and on the day of our wedding.

My wife and I would like to thank you for your services through our months of preparation leading to our wedding day. Bernadette, you showed great knowledge and understanding to the needs of planning a special event and most importantly of my wife's. Your true professionalism and dedication allowed us to feel comfortable in having you manage and oversee our wedding day itinerary. As with every major project, things can go wrong in the 11th hour, but your true expertise and promptness allowed for perfect management.

Fabian & Sonia Pagani

I feel obligated to begin by saying that Serendipity & Co. wedding and event coordinators truly put their heart and soul into making our event at Team Chrysler a success. We were celebrating our first year anniversary with a three-day event at our dealership and from day one their dedication to detail and determination to make the event flow without flaw was evident. They worked early mornings, and stayed until closing every night- and they did so with smiles on their faces and not a word of complaint.

Being in this line of work for some time, I can honestly say that never before did we have an event quite like this one. For three days the dealership was a little brighter and the customers a lot happier. It really was a fun-filled event and the enthusiastic spirits of the coordinators contributed to this. They are hardworking, ambitious, and pleasant. Their genial interaction with customers demonstrated just why we needed them around and why we hope to have them back in our building again in the future.

Serendipity & Co. comes highly recommended by myself as well as the rest of the dealership. Our greatest thanks are sent to them for treating our event as if it were their own.

Bernadette, Randy and I would like to thank you for all that you did in arranging our butterfly effect. It was amazing and my bridal party had a great time doing it. My house looked amazing decorated with all your decorations and lanterns. I appreciate all that you did in making my day even more special!

I want to thank you for all of your amazing hard work in preparing for Sandra's Sweet 16th party. The decorations and the presentation of how everything looked was fabulous. You sure did add a special touch to the event. You have made Sandra's Sweet 16th birthday party a dream come true. Thank you so much for everything!
