There are not enough adjectives to describe the awesomeness of Angie Anderson. She might be the 9th Wonder of the World.

Kirstyn Stroinski, Mother of the Bride
Daughter’s Wedding 11/5/16

Angie, what in the world would we have done without you? You did an amazing job in all areas. Sweeter than sweet and always available. You made our day perfect and we will think of you always. You’re a wonderful young woman who truly is the “Belle Behind the Ball”. We love and appreciate you!

Van Gurley, Father of the Bride

Callie Julian, Bride
Wedding 8/27/16

Thank you so much, Angie. I could not imagine these last few months without you and your ability to take control and calm my nerves. You truly are the Belle behind the Ball!

Megan Lester, Bride

I could write a novel on how much we appreciated Angie! She was probably singularly the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding process. It is hard for me to put into words the gift she gave to all of us… Heather, my daughter, summed it up best. She said she needed her mom through this process, not someone coordinating everything. Angie gave us that.On a scale of 1 to 10, we give her infinity!

Anne Hyland, Mother of the Bride
Wedding 5/21/16

Angie is THE BEST! She did my sister’s wedding in 2020 and I knew when I got engaged 4 years later that she was who we needed. She made the day SO seamless and so simple. It wouldn’t have been the day that it was without her!

Angie, Not sure where I begin. I didn’t want another day to go by without telling you – THANK YOU so very much for all the work you put into helping Michal & Meredith and their wedding. They always raved about you, but I found out for myself how wonderful, attentive, organized, and amazing you truly are. And when they say size does not matter – It does NOT, because you are one to be reckoned with. You truly warmed my heart – that evening was magical because of you. All your hard work was evident, and I personally want to tell you thank you so much. It was great meeting you and I wish you the best always I wish great things for you always. Just remember – you always have a friend in New York if you ever come visit. I owe you a dinner!!

Effie

Angie is the best there is! Everything was PERFECT! The day went so much smoother than I ever could have hoped and the reception was STUNNING! We had such a blast and I know all of our guests did too. Every detail was lovely and all of the vendors did a wonderful job. We cannot thank Angie enough for the time and hard work she put into our day, it did not go unnoticed. I would not have changed a single thing about the day, it truly was the best day ever!

We are so thankful and grateful that we were able to work with Belle Behind the Ball throughout the wedding planning process. Angie and Alex made our lives 1000% easier on our wedding day and took care of so many details that didn’t even cross our minds. It’s tough to imagine how the day would have gone without them and we are very glad we don’t have to know. From keeping us on track, to getting stains out of my dress, to packing up everything at the end of the reception (my parents loved that), their work allowed us to truly relax and be present for our wedding day – we had so much fun!! Beyond that, Angie’s vendor connections are terrific. Everyone she introduced us to was friendly, experienced, and professional. Highly recommend working with Belle Behind the Ball for your wedding!!

Angie was amazing!! We hired her for her day-of-coordinator services and she did an excellent job. I was a very stressed bride with wedding planning but on the day of the wedding I was so care free because of Angie and her team. They set up the reception better than I could’ve imagined, coordinated with all the vendors, were incredibly detail oriented and knew which questions to ask, and took care of everything all day long. Truly could not have done it without Belle Behind the Ball!!! 10/10 would recommend.
