Reviews of Engaged Wedding Library (Event Planner)

Michelle McClafferty

Our meeting was incredibly helpful, making a daunting process seem much more manageable and enjoyable. I'm already looking forward to follow up meetings and picking these experts' brains.

Stacey Johnson

I’m the mother of the Bride and I speak for the both of us to say that we feel in love with Stephanie and Sydney. They are so precious! Emily and I were both stressed for different reasons but these ladies took that all away. So excited about working with both ladies in the many months to come!

Just go here and check it out if you've gotten engaged and are ready to start planning. It's a great place to start! No pressure to join or use their vendors and lots of helpful conversations await. As a side note, Engaged is a truly unique business that could only come from years of wedding planning experience and relationship-building. Come here, and you're automatically in the know. Cheers!

Maggie Rowland

Engaged is awesome! We had our first appointment and really enjoyed meeting with the girls. They have gotten me excited for this whole process to begin. This should definitely be your first stop.

I wish I could give more stars. What an amazing business concept!! The Engaged Wedding Library has been one of the most helpful wedding resources. While talking to them about our daughter's upcoming wedding, they really listen and recommend the vendors that are a great fit...but that's not all. It's not just a recommendation, they get the ball rolling by starting off the communications with the vendor and bride/bride's family. I think the vendors are even more responsive because of this. Each vendor they have recommended to us has been so amazing to work with as well. This should be every bride's first stop if planning a wedding in the Birmingham area.

Meredith Wright

My first appointment at Engaged with Stephanie was exactly what I needed to kick off my engagement season!! She genuinely showed interest in helping me create my perfect day!! She left my mom and I feeling at ease since my family lives out of town. I can’t wait to continue working with her and the Engaged Girls!

Nicole Cinquemani

I am so gratefully to have found the girls at Engaged! Their help with understanding the planning process and finding vendors is invaluable! And for an added bonus they are the absolute sweetest!

Engaged is absolutely amazing! Elizabeth has such great suggestions and recommendations! I would recommend everyone making this your first stop after you say YES!.

So helpful and genuine!

Loved meeting with Stephanie! She was very helpful and definitely knows the vendors in Birmingham. I would recommend for anyone engaged to go see her and her team first!

Sarah Foster Hittie

I cannot recommend Engaged Wedding Library strongly enough. It is free for brides, and Stephanie is an amazing resource to help with all aspects of wedding planning. I met with her before starting any planning, and she made the process so much smoother.

Megan Brooks

I absolutely loved Elizabeth of Engaged Weddinng Library!!! She is super sweet, took good care of me, helped me form a budget, and though of stuff that I should consider for my wedding that I didn't think of! Very helpful and wants you to have the perfect day :)

Charlotte Gregg

They were so friendly and helpful when I walked in one morning without an appointment. Lots of information! Wish I had started here instead of ending here when I couldn't find things I was looking for.

Lindsay Norris

I absolutely loved meeting with Elizabeth! I felt like I was so disorganized and had nothing in order for my wedding, but by the end of our session, not only did I totally love her, I was actually excited with my wedding progress! Great studio; Great people; great experience!!

Tracey Schwass

As soon as I got engaged I headed to see the ladies here. I had no idea where to start and left confident to begin planning my wedding! The Soho bridal show is this weekend and for pre registering through them, they sent me a wonderful packet with lots of goodies!

Avery Barr

Engaged Library has been a dream to work with in my wedding planning process!! I'm still blown away by the services provided to me FOR FREE! I'm not originally from Birmingham, so I'm so thankful for all the help Stephanie and the Engaged Girls have provided in my vendor search. Plus, if you're a Library member, you can save money or get added perks in your packages with some of their vendor partners! This is by far the best resource for Birmingham-area brides!!

Celeste

I wish this showed up in more Google searches. I miraculously stumbled upon Engaged Wedding Library and couldn't believe my luck! Brides have access to a wealth of industry knowledge for free! Steph was kind enough to meet with me during a quick trip home and listened to me babble on about how much I wasn't sure about with my wedding. She then somehow turned all of that into a cohesive plan of action, gave me valuable advice, and contacted about a dozen vendors for me immediately. I was thoroughly impressed with her suggestions and realized quickly that she's got an amazing knack for putting together a portfolio of people that suit a bride's individual taste. You have absolutely nothing to lose by setting up a free appointment with Steph and I highly recommend you do it asap.

Kimberly Wiggins

We are so lucky to have the sweet ladies of Engaged Wedding Library as a planning resource in our area!

Brandi Bendall Bullard

Stephanie is a rockstar in the bridal business! She knows the ins and outs, the who and the who nots! So appreciative of her help and guidance and the amazing benefits of being a member of Engaged!

You go in and they help you with everything. No fees, no appointment charges, nothing. I’m not kidding. You also may have opportunities to go and mingle with several other wedding gurus, they have AWESOME events. Honestly, I can’t say enough about this team. They are genuine women that are passionate about weddings!!! Everything you need to know and all your questions will be answers at this gorgeous place. Trust me, call them.

Amanda & Antjuan

Elizabeth and the rest of the team at Engaged Wedding Library are nothing short of spectacular!!! I met with Elizabeth shortly after getting engaged and she has been there for me every step of the way. From helping me create a budget, to money-saving tips, to who to call for last minute save the dates, they have all the info you need. If you live in Birmingham and are engaged, do yourself a favor and call Engaged!!! -Amanda Brasher

Leah Green

Stephanie has made everything SO much easier for us! As soon as I don't know what step to take next she is right there willing to set up a quick call to guide me to a solution. She listens to what I'm saying and helps me find vendors accordingly. She also is very aware of our budget and keeps me in line. If you're looking for positive reinforcement, this is it! Work with them!

Alison Griffitt

Steph and the Engaged Girls were so thorough, helpful, kind, and more than willing to answer our MANY questions! They should truly be every bride’s first stop in the planning process. Beyond greatful and excited to be working with these amazing ladies!

Meagan M.

Yesha Edwards

Stephanie was so helpful over at Engaged Wedding Library! She got us started with a list of vendor and wedding coordinators! Any bride-to -be should definitely go visit them. The Library card is also a wonderful resource!

Chris Sarris

Stephanie and the Engaged Girls do an awesome job helping newly engaged brides and grooms make their wedding planning a breeze. They put them in connection with some of the best vendors in town. I am one of the Engaged Wedding Library vendors and I must say that every bride and groom that I have worked with that have come to me through Engaged have ended up having some of the most epic weddings!!! With that being said, even the other vendors that were chosen for those weddings, have been some of the best in the biz that I have worked with in my 18 years of DJ'ing professionally. If you are recently engaged, definitely go check them out in their prime spot in Edgewood area of Homewood. You have nothing to lose, and obtaining an Engaged Library Card, gives you excellent incentives and savings that you will definitely put to use!!!

Christy M Wimberly

I absolutely loved meeting with Elizabeth! Very informative and knowledgeable! She listened and gave me sound advice for our budget! Thanks so much from Christy Carty

Lauren Walters

The engaged wedding library is a definite must after you get engaged! Stephanie is super bubbly and sweet! She really listens to what you’re wanting! I highly recommend them!

Melissa Junkins

These are the best girls to befriend during such an exciting time! Steph and her team have a wealth of knowledge about all things bridal in Birmingham. Go see them and feel relieved to know you have these sweet girls on your side!

Dana Ridgeway

Engaged Wedding Library has helped us tremendously with our wedding planning process! Stephanie helped us create a budget and helped us sort through vendors for free! She was so patient with us and made sure she answered all of our questions! The discount card also has helped us save money as well with our vendors. I went into the appointment overwhelmed and came out of the appointment feeling more at ease. I would definitely recommend these services for anyone who needs a little help with the wedding planning process.

Colleen Hopwood

Engaged is an amazing resource for anyone getting married! Stephanie has so many years of experience in the bridal industry, she can offer so much wisdom to a bride and her family in planning. She and her staff are so precious and really want each bride to have an amazing wedding with the right vendors. If you are engaged, you should definitely check them out.

Lauren Lee

Steph at Engaged Wedding Library is so helpful! She is so organized and genuinely wants to help you with your wedding. I would recommend joining if you are able to!

SIDNEY SHACKELFORD

My first visit with Elizabeth at Engaged Wedding Library was great! Elizabeth was so kind and had great resources for beginning the wedding planning process! I am looking forward to future visits at Engaged Wedding Library once I complete tasks that Elizabeth helped define and meet with vendors with whom Elizabeth is helping to introduce and start conversations.

Christena Holcombe

Yes - yes & MORE yes!! After just having my first conversation with these ladies I already know it was the best decision I've made as a newly-engaged gal! I have been trying to figure my way around the millions of internet reviews and these ladies have already put my mind at ease. Don't even think twice about joining they have all the inside information to make your B'ham wedding perfect.

Caitlin Miley

The Engaged girls are a godsend!! They are so realistic, encouraging and passionate — they helped me realize there are so many options out there for any size budget!! Definitely recommend!

My experience was wonderful!! Elizabeth was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend anyone engaged and planning their wedding pay a visit.

Steph is great and really helps put everything in perspective. A great place to start and to get organized! Would highly recommend. Completely worth your time!

Al Weddings

We adore Stephanie & Engaged! We have been a photography vendor for a few years and have loved her heart for the brides she serves! What a fabulous place to get a jump start on wedding dreams ❤️

Emilee Richards

Super helpful! I can’t wait to keep working with them!

Tre Luna Catering

We love Stephanie & Engaged! We are a preferred Caterer. The services they provide makes such a difference for the brides. They are thoughtfully informed of what to expect and given guidance that makes planning so much less stressful for brides.

Awbrey Golden

Stephanie and the Engaged Girls were such a huge help to me and my husband during our planning process. We ended up moving up our wedding date and had two months to plan (from scratch), and I don’t think we could have done it without them. Not only are they the sweetest women you will ever meet, but they are extremely knowledgeable about everything wedding related. They helped us narrow down all of our ideas to create the perfect wedding that was exactly what we wanted... we went in a bit scatter-brained so this was not an easy challenge for them. They gave us some amazing recommendations and helped keep us calm and confident during the planning process. I recommend them to everyone because they were an essential part of our stress-free wedding.

Anna Page Minor

After my first day there, I feel so much better about my wedding day! These women are hands down the best in the business!! Could not recommend them more!

Erin Cuzzort

If you are a newly engaged bride, I highly suggest coming to the Engaged Wedding Library. It is a FREE service offered to Birmingham area brides to help you organize and plan your wedding on your budget. Even if you think you have it all planned out well, the ladies at Engaged Wedding Library will likely make a suggestion that you didn't think of. I have been stressed trying to plan my own wedding and they helped me tremendously. This is particularly an excellent avenue to venture down if you do not have a wedding coordinator. However, if you are looking for a wedding coordinator, they will definitely be able to get you in touch with one. It was also very nice to be able to sit down and look through a few local photographers' sample books and be able to critique it without them being present. Brides-to-be, do yourself a favor and spend an hour at the Engaged Wedding Library. It is well worth your time!!

Jordan Fancher

We absolutely loved meeting with Elizabeth! She is super sweet and helpful! She really helped me feel more at ease about the whole planning process!

Kennedy Thomas

Hands down, one of the most helpful places/people. I had no clue where to start after I got engaged and Stephanie sat down with me for FREE to help me get organized, gave me ideas/advice, send me timelines, and help me create a budget. Couldn't have done it without her!

Danielle Schriefer

Engaged is a must place to go for all brides! My fiancé and I moved to Birmingham a little over a year ago not knowing anyone here when we moved. So When we got engaged I was lost on where to start without having anyone to turn to, I found engaged! Stephanie was so inviting and could truely tell she cared about helping us! She helped me on where to even start, venue and wedding planners. She also took upon herself to contact all the people I needed to get in touch with. The second best thing about Engaged is the engaged card!! I can't stress enough how this card has helped save me money in every catagory of my wedding. Thanks Engaged for always being there to help me with any questions I have!

Bailey D

I worked with Elizabeth and she is sweet and very knowledgeable about planning a wedding! She was very helpful with our budget plan and making recommendations. Yes, it really is free, and by far superior to racking the knot and other wedding websites trying figure out how to allocate your own budget and find vendors for all the many things you must book and commit to. I found the book first and it has been my go to for help with vendors. The most helpful however are the recommendations Elizabeth made based on my style and budget! There's is nothing to lose, no reason not to book an appointment!

Ann Wade Shreve

I couldn't recommend Stephanie and Engaged highly enough! Brides are consistently blown away at how much knowledge they gain through the help of Engaged in every aspect of their wedding planning. I have been with them since almost the beginning, and have loved watching this business grow! If you are engaged, or hoping to get a ring soon, do NOT miss out on Engaged!

Becky Dedge

Stephanie and the Engaged Girls are priceless!! They are a MUST for the wedding planning season for any bride! I adore their hearts for each bride and the way you become a friend not just a client!

Kelsey Shake

Steph and Sidney were so incredibly genuine and helpful. Every bride needs to start their wedding planning journey at Engaged!!! The best experience. Thank you thank you thank you Steph!

Joanna Hopper

The girls were SO helpful during my phone call meeting and have great connections with vendors not only in the immediate Birmingham area but just outside as well! I would recommend this service to any newly engaged girl or guy!

Sarah Beth Combs

Signing up for Engaged was probably the best decisions I made while planning my wedding! They’re so helpful, easy to work with and nice. They started me off in the right direction and helped me relax!

sabrina Parker

Steph was absolutely amazing! I was further along in my planning process but she gave me the same attention as a new bride. I felt completely at home and immediately trusted her opinion on things. This was a great experience and I can't wait to send my newly engaged friends her way!

Meredith Ryncarz

Get way to connect brides to vendors. Steph and her girls are fantastic, caring, and help take the stress out of wedding planning

Alexandra Whitaker

Really helped me out with all my questions!!!

What an amazing resource for everything wedding! Working with the Engaged Library is an absolute pleasure...should be your first stop on the way to your walk down the aisle!

Cortne Sanders

Stephanie is a gem! She is so sweet and was very, very helpful. I would most definitely recommend this to any bride to be! Im so glad to be apart of engaged wedding library, so excited about what’s to come.

Zoya Zinger

If you’re having any hesitation at visiting The Engaged Library, do yourself a favor and stop overthinking it. What an incredible concept and even more incredible people running it!! Stephanie was wonderfuly personable and genuinely was there to help. We were able to make more headway in one hour than I ever thought possible. No matter where you are in the planning stage, The Engaged Wedding Library is a MUST. You won’t regret it!

Kaylee Antonio

Visiting with Steph at Engaged Wedding Library is , by far, the best decision I've made in the wedding planning process! Like many brides, I was feeling overwhelmed with websites, vendor names, pinterest, pictures and appointments. I had been to the "Southern Bridal Show" but was disappointed in the choice of vendors. I felt like they weren't really what I needed at the beginning stages of planning. I searched on Instagram and came across the Engaged Wedding Library. I noticed that they were advertising an Engaged Collective Bridal Event. I immediately bought the membership card which gave me two free tickets to the event. The Bridal Event was everything I needed and more! It was a gorgeous and highly organized display of vendors!! It was so wonderful to finally have a face to face conversation with people who wanted to be part of my special day! I was so thrilled and relieved after the show! Thankfully, Engaged Wedding Library had also provided me with a complimentary 1 hour planning session with Steph. I made the appointment with her, and that day in 1 hour we talked about EVERYTHING I wanted my wedding to be. She matched me with vendors that would not only fulfill my wedding dream, but also stay within my budget. She worked with me on my budget and was able to give me helpful tips on where to save and where to splurge. I can't wait for our next appointment where I can share all the wonderful vendors that will be part of our special day, thanks to the Engaged Wedding Library!!

Christine Ho

the most helpful bunch when it comes to wedding planning and budgeting! and yes, it is a free service - no catch. they were so willing to listen and make suggestions based on their experiences and knowledge of the Birmingham area wedding scene. would definitely recommend!

Cortney Craig

I cannot say enough about Engaged Birmingham! the space is gorgeous and really gets you in the wedding feels (if you aren't already). The staff is absolutely lovely and I not only stress free but with some new friendships as well. Everything is perfect down to the "love never fails" pencils! It is definitely a much for the newly engaged!!

RASIA VASSER

The Engaged Wedding Library is what every engaged woman needs! It is so helpful and Stephanie is AMAZING! I definitely recommend this FREE service to any bride-to-be. This is a great experience.

emma o'neal

This is THE place you want to go as soon as you get engaged! Steph is so bubbly and genuine... she very quickly understood my style and vision for my wedding day, and made reliable recommendations that fit our budget. Within minutes of meeting her, she introduced me to multiple vendors and I got priority for apppintments to tour the spaces. Becoming a library member has been the best decision!!

Sarah Sparks

Engaged Wedding Library is the perfect place for newly engaged bride-to-bes! Being a Birmingham native, I was overwhelmed by all of the different options for venues, videographers, photographers, etc. Stephanie was incredibly helpful in finding me the perfect vendors who suited my style. After coming home from my first meeting with her, I had several emails from vendors whom she had already contacted and reached out to. She made the wedding planning process so easy! It was also worth it to become a Library member because of its many perks and ways to save! I would highly recommend Steph and the girls to anyone!

Alison Burnette

Steph is fantastic! She knows what she is talking about and she is so willing to help all brides plan their dream wedding! I highly recommend you check out engaged wedding library!

Amy Payne

Steph and Millie and all the Enfaged Girls were super sweet and very educated in different vendors in the different prices ranges. I believe that are going to be a joy to work with in getting some of the preliminary work set in place. I am blessed to have found them and believe they will point me in the direction to someamazing resource in the Engages Library. ~AmyPayne

Brandon Dunn

They have been amazing for my business. Great representation, customer service and wonderfully staffed. WellDunn Entertainment & DjWellDunn love Engaged Wedding Library.

Dana Guida

Elizabeth was beyond fantastic and helped ease my concerns about planning. I thought I was so far behind and Elizabeth assured me that I was actually ahead! Being from out of town this is a must to go to! Highly recommend and cannot wait to keep working with them!

Jessica Edwards

Engaged Wedding Library is such a great resource, especially for Brides like me who decide not to hire a wedding planner. Not only were the recommendations for vendors fantastic, there were great discounts as well. For the price of the library card, I have already saved more than 10x what I paid on vendors throughout Birmingham! The girls at Engaged Wedding Library are so sweet and helpful. I would encourage every bride in the Birmingham area to use them!

Brooke Van Dyke

Engaged Wedding Library is a must go-to place for any newly engaged bride. Elizabeth sat down with me and took her time to go over wedding details and answer any questions, help me get a realistic look at budget and find vendors/resources. Seriously the best thing I have done so far in my wedding planning journey! Thank you EWL, y'all are AMAZING!!

Holly Mackey

Engaged Wedding Library should be your first stop after the ring! I had a great experience with Stephanie for my own wedding, and now, I get to see the other side as a vendor being a part of the library with Happy Catering! Highly recommend for personal and business!
