Becca + Ian Schutt

There are not enough kind words on this planet to describe Hosea House Collective. I was never the little girl who grew up dreaming about her wedding day and certainly did not have a Pinterest board loaded with good ideas. I didn't even have a Pinterest until about 3 months after I got engaged… I wanted a beautiful day but also knew I could have an amazing day without spending a million dollars so when I started planning I knew there would have to be areas I would have to compromise on to save money. I was the kind of bride that said "I can't afford a top-notch DJ…so I'll make playlists myself. This is all to say, that my very, very very very naïve self initially thought I could plan a wedding without a planner/day of coordinator. Looking back it is hilarious that I ever thought I could compromise on such a vital role on my big day. She was literally an answer to prayer. She was involved, but not over-bearing, aggressive on our behalf, organized, knowledgeable, one of the kindest people you will ever meet, and serves with a genuine heart. There were items that I had strong opinions about that she took head-on and delivered exactly what I wanted and other times that I had no idea and I needed her to step up and either lay out some options for me or make an informed decision for me. Regardless, I had complete ease of mind knowing that if she was involved with it…it was taken care of and I didn't need to worry about it. I can't think of a more important quality in a wedding planner. She never made me feel like burden and made sure I knew that I could always reach out to her, about anything. My wedding weekend was absolutely incredible. She handled everything with such grace and peace. Megan did a lot of gorgeous artistry work for us (a huge chalk board wall & a stunning seating chart). Hosea House Collective were angels on my wedding day. If I needed them, they were there. Seriously…I didn't even need to call for them or try to find them, they were just always there checking in with me. My big day went off without a hitch and I know that was only made possible by their hard-work and dedication on the wedding day and prior to. Everything went according as planned and my only job was to soak it in and enjoy it. I feel like most people say it…but my wedding day was perfect and I simply cannot thank her enough. Thank you for thinking about the things that would have never even crossed my mind and always being a million steps ahead of us in the planning process. From the bottom of our hearts, Becca and Ian.
