“Wow. Billy Rae is a literal dream. I have been so excited to share my experience about the DaSilva team. This is for all my Type A brides out there! From the start, Billy had me. I live out of town but was having my wedding in Pensacola. The thought of planning my entire wedding on my own and then just handing it off to a complete stranger did NOT sit well with me. I knew I needed a wedding planner, but I wasn’t even sure exactly what I needed from one! I had three Zoom meetings before Billy. All of them were fine and friendly. They “checked all the boxes”. But when I met with Billy, her presence came off the screen. I swear I still can’t explain it…but my stress-shoulders literally came down. Her presence gave me such a calmness. My instinct was to go with her. THANK GOD. From that point forward, I’m telling you everything was smooth sailing because of that woman. Any question, concern, needing her expert opinion or just a dose of her calmness really helped ease everything for me. Our rehearsal got moved to a much smaller location because our venue was having a wedding the day before. My husband and I wanted our wedding song with people coming out on very specific lyrics. Billy’s leadership on conducting the rehearsal was amazing. We also had a lot of moving parts because of a storm and people from out of town. With her amazing communication, everyone was on the same page to have an seamless ceremony. The wedding day was INCREDIBLE. For decor, the DaSilva team did EXACTLY what I imagined. After hair and makeup, I came down to peek and see everything. (that Type A is hard to tame) I was amazed at it coming to life!! AND! I totally forgot about the Mr. & Mrs. Table! Who does that?! Me. And what did Billy do?! She whipped up the cutest table with extra decorations I had along with some back up she had. OMG! She even had all these little adjustments I didn’t even think of! Like tacking down items because of the wind from the ceremony. At this point, I’m not sure I can even claim Type A anymore. Everything during the wedding was INCREDIBLE. She kept up with the timeline to make sure all the things we wanted to do were going in a timely manner. The guests, myself and my husband had the BEST time truly because of the DaSilva team. My key points about this angel are these: She offers expert suggestions but always reminds you it’s your day. Her listening is IMPECCABLE. She pays very close attention to detail and will execute your vision. Her communication is next level—the bridge that makes everything come together seamlessly.She is fun, warm, and supportive, yet knows exactly when to step in and get things done. The perfect balance. I'm telling you....get this woman on your team and let her be the captain of your wedding ship!”
