Robyn is "the Best at what she does." She handles every tiny detail and does it with poise and grace. We ran into complications and Robyn took everything in stride and was able to execute perfectly in spite of the challenges. I love her dearly and would recommend her to any bride. Thanks for making my dreams come true, Robyn. My wedding was a true fairy tale.

My wedding day was perfect and far exceeded my expectations thanks to The Wedding Belle! I could not have planned my wedding nor been able to enjoy it without the help of Robyn Martin, as I was living in Charleston, S.C. and completing my residency! My husband and I were extremely happy with the vendors and reception site and greatly appreciated having Robyn as a liaison. Rather than being one of the most stressful days of my life - it was truly the happiest.
Thank you, Robyn! Gina Pierce |

If you are planning a year long engagement or even a shorter one, like my daughter, The Wedding Belle is the answer. From our first meeting to the last everything was covered. Having a knowledgeable person who knows everything about weddings and every situation that could arise made my daughter’s wedding flow smoothly. It took a lot of the stress off of us knowing everything was going to go well. I realized during our first meeting what an investment a wedding is. I am not just talking about the obvious financial part but also making a beautiful memory for a lifetime for our two incredible children. I would recommend The Wedding Belle to all who want a wedding that works out perfectly, runs on time, goes smoothly and is beautiful. Thanks, Robyn, for taking the stress off and taking such good care of us. We could not have done it without you. Sincerely, |

Our wedding was perfect!! It was exactly like I'd always dreamed. Many of our guests are still talking about the milk shots and the candy table. Robyn conducted our ceremony and reception with professionalism and grace. I can't thank her enough.

We simply could not have had the wedding we wanted without Robyn! Her meticulous planning helpful suggestions referrals for the best vendors and support for what we wanted to do all resulted in the wedding of our dreams. Her work is of the highest quality and I recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, again, for everything, Robyn! Karen Lester |

Robyn, you were a tremendous help in making my wedding day a dream come true. I appreciate all your help and guidance through this process; I couldn't have done it without you. Your attention to every detail and expertise in every aspect of the wedding made it everything we hoped it could be and more. Matt and I are forever grateful! Mrs. Matt Houston |

Robyn Martin is like a fairy godmother. She truly makes the wedding day a dream come true. She is a pleasure to work with and she provides incredible vendors for her clients. We will miss seeing her on a regular basis and intend to keep in touch. Without hesitation we recommend The Wedding Belle to anyone who is planning a wedding.

"Robyn, I wanted you to know what a pleasure and a privilege it was to work with you this past year. As we met throughout the months, I realized and grew to love your warmth, your compassion, your intelligence, your organization, your friendship. You are the "total package" and you deliver the total package. Tiffany and Chase's wedding was a dream come true...it truly, truly was! What you did was make a special time in our lives even that much more enjoyable."

We honestly do not know how we could have pulled off the wedding of our dreams without Robyn’s guidance, advice and contacts. She introduced us to the BEST photographer, wedding designer, videographer and many other vendors that were “top knotch.” Our engagement was 10 months and Robyn was there from Day One. She made those months so enjoyable and stress free. My parents, Jason and I became even closer while planning because Robyn took a lot of the responsibility and we were able to have fun! On the day of the wedding Robyn expected my mom and me to relax and enjoy the day. It was so nice to be able to enjoy that special time with my mom instead of running around doing last minute things. My dad, Jason and their friends were able to enjoy a round of golf and not worry about the preparations. It is such an amazing and once in a lifetime experience. You don’t want to waste your time on that day. It is so important to be with your family and enjoy. Robyn made that happen! Thank you!

The Wedding Belle made my dream wedding come to life. We had no idea all the things that go into planning a wedding and would have been lost without Robyn. She was not only our wedding planner, but she became a wonderful friend. I recommend her services to everyone. In fact, I have told everyone I know who is getting married that The Wedding Belle will make your dream wedding a beautiful reality!

Where to begin?! March 18, 2006 Robyn helped provide the most wonderful wedding for our son, and daughter-in-law. It was simply amazing! Our daughter, Christy, would be getting married the following year, so we decided to work with Robyn as soon as possible! And what fun we had!! With the groom in Iraq and a very pro-active bride in pharmacy school, (who really knew what she wanted for her dream wedding,) we gave Robyn a few challenges with this one! Then we got the news that the original date of 7/7/07 had to be changed because of the deployment to Iraq of the best man & twin brother of the groom. We called Robyn in a PANIC!! Not to worry! She talked to every vendor and each and every service was re-scheduled to our new date within 48 hours or less! And, we did not lose a single vendor! It was unbelievable! Working with Grant’s schedule after he returned to Fort Hood, Texas from Iraq a year later was still a challenge, but Robyn can do ANYTHING!! The special touches, details and timing of Christy’s wedding were very involved and complicated. Nothing was overlooked and the wedding was seamless. Robyn proved all challenges were no problem for her to handle. Christy had her dream wedding—everything she had ever dreamed of and MORE—and we absolutely could not have done it without Robyn. Christy and I were never stressed because we knew that Robyn could and would take care of anything and everything! Grant loved working with her too! If ever there was a fairy tale wedding, this was it! We highly recommend Robyn and the services of her company! She has all of the necessary skills and contacts to produce personalized, flawless weddings, she treats her clients and her vendors with the utmost respect, she is creative, professional and unflappable, but most importantly, she is compassionate and wants “her bride” to be happy and this bride truly was.

I don't know how anyone has a large-scale wedding without using a wedding planner! Robyn, with The Wedding Belle, did absolutely everything for us. Because of her expertise, contacts and vision we were able to have the wedding of our dreams! She helped create something truly magical. But the best part is that we gained a friend in the process.

I have had the sheer pleasure of getting to know and working with Robyn for the past two years. I could take up countless pages listing her attributes but I could sum it up best by saying she is the perfect combination of self-assured businesswoman and personal friend. She is THE BEST! As a vendor, I always know my times, dates, places, names, numbers, changes, cues, and expectations; everything is meticulously confirmed through phone, fax and e-mails. I love working with her and I always know I am serving a complete professional. She has my full loyalty and trust, she expects the highest level of service from her vendors and it is my belief she gets it from everyone of us! Her team of professionals is unmatched; great people, great service. Robyn is an unbelievable person that makes my service even better! I hope to be doing weddings with her for years to come!

As a professional wedding photographer I see things and know things at weddings that very few people have the opportunity to see and know. I see the level of stress that the bride, groom, and family are under. I am often behind closed doors with the family and wedding party when challenges are being dealt with or issues come up. I say this to express that there is a night and day difference between the weddings where Robyn is coordinating things and most other weddings that I photograph. Robyn brings invaluable experience and preparation to each event that minimizes the potential for unexpected issues to arise. More importantly though, when the unexpected does arise (i.e., arctic conditions or a tardy bride and groom) I have seen Robyn wisely handle things efficiently and effectively. Robyn's success is evident on the wedding day. I see it in the freedom that the mother and father of the bride have as they carelessly socialize and enjoy the day; I see it in the respect that other wedding professionals show toward her as they work together to serve the bride and groom; I see it in the unique flair and venues that she puts together to create truly original weddings; and most of all I have seen it in the brides eyes as she gives Robyn a big hug and heads off to her honeymoon. Its truly a pleasure to work with The Wedding Belle and I highly recommend Robyn's services to all of my brides.

There is no way I could have had such a wonderful wedding without Robyn! Her knowledge of vendors and wedding etiquette combined with her style and eye for detail made for an unforgettable event. I can truly say that my wedding was the best wedding I’ve ever been to!

I tried to remain calm when a snowstorm cancelled our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner! Robyn went all out to move all the wedding day plans to “Plan B!” Even though some guests couldn't make it, we had a wonderful snowy Christmas themed wedding with only a 20 minute rehearsal beforehand. Robyn raced to make it all come together with an altered and limited schedule. It was beautiful and moving. What could have been a real disaster turned out to be a fairy tale wedding! And, I got to enjoy the whole thing instead of spending the day in a panic!

Robyn,
I just wanted to send you a note and tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work and taking care of my little girl on her wedding day. I know that I certainly would not have survived planning this process; you made it look easy! And, I appreciate your interest in me as the Mother of the Bride; I felt like Cinderella at the ball.

It was great working with Robyn. I was free from worry to enjoy the day! She was always helpful – even after the wedding day when the military sabers were “lost.” An emergency Sunday morning phone call was answered immediately and problem taken care of! Thanks, Robyn

I just want to thank you, Robyn, for the wonderful job you did with our wedding. All of your hard work made our day the most wonderful, beautiful day of our lives. I know that planning an out-of-state wedding is stressful but with your suggestions and help everything went smoothly. You found the perfect vendors to help us. I never had to deal with any problems directly and had total confidence in you. If there were any problems on our wedding day, we had no idea! Everything was wonderful. Thank you so much for making it the happiest day of our lives.
Always, |

I have had the distinct honor of working with Robyn on numerous weddings and events. I have worked with several professional consultants in the nine years that I have been a floral designer and have never worked with anyone as detail oriented as Robyn. She makes the event a smooth ride, regardless of the last minute additions or the size of the event. Robyn not only works with the client and vendors but becomes a special friend to both. If you are looking for a knowledgeable professional in the wedding industry, Robyn Martin is truly the most highly qualified individual you will find. I look forward to working with Robyn in the upcoming years as our businesses continue to prosper. Thanks Robyn for all you do. You are the best!

Throughout my career as a wedding photographer, I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with someone as capable as Robyn Martin. From our initial consultation with the Bride, to the day of the wedding, she is always one step ahead of the game and consistently upbeat and energetic throughout. Robyn understands the complexity of planning a wedding and has the ability to see the big picture as well as provide the much needed attention to detail. Each wedding she is involved in beautifully reflects the uniqueness of the Bride and Groom and showcases her organizational skills and creativity. Someone as gifted and accomplished as Robyn is priceless in this industry and I have complete confidence in her expertise! It has been and will continue to be an honor to work with her!
Sincerely, |

When I first got engaged, I was so excited and happy. It was definitely one of the best days of my life. But then the reality of actually having to plan a wedding sunk in and I realized I needed serious help. I asked several people about wedding coordinators and Robyn’s name was mentioned more than once. I decided to look at her web site, read the testimonials and go from there. Needless to say, I made an appointment with Robyn and the rest is history. I immediately felt a connection with her – she really listened to what I had to say. From the very first meeting, my wedding began to take shape. She is able to take fragments and dreams of your wedding and weave them into something magical. Her organizational skills are amazing and she was always on top of things, which in turn, kept me on top of everything. Robyn has recommendations for all budgets regarding the best vendors in town and she takes into account those things which are most important to you, whether that be photography, flowers, reception or your dress. She was available at all times to answer questions and handle crises, no matter how big or small. She was a confidant, negotiator, coach, surrogate mother, therapist and my personal savior! I could not have planned this wedding without Robyn. Thanks to her, the wedding will be the best day of my life and more than I could have ever imagined or hoped for. I am walking away from this experience with a wonderful new husband and some beautiful memories of a perfect day, all thanks to Robyn. Robyn, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a truly special person and I am so blessed to have met you. Your strength of spirit and gentle heart continually amaze and inspire me. I feel I have found a friend for life and look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.

Robyn Martin (The Wedding Belle) is very organized, hardworking, efficient, and personable. She always covers every detail of the pre-wedding arrangements and, of course, the wedding day. She certainly makes our job run smoother. Robyn is very business savvy and a pleasure to work with. We really appreciate all she does, and know we can always count on her to do an excellent job.
Sincerely, |

There is nothing I would have done differently or had The Wedding Belle do differently for my wedding! Robyn actually went far beyond my expectations in every regard. She personally walked me through each step, provided structure, guidance and advice. I appreciated all the services I received from The Wedding Belle but was especially thankful for the attention to detail and to our budget guidelines. Myrna Jo Heller |

Hi, Robyn – Thank you again for the wonderful job you always do. It is so nice to know that there is a wedding planner in and around the Oklahoma City area who cares so deeply about the bride and groom’s specific wants and needs, not to mention the compassion you show toward your vendors. It is always a pleasure for us to work with you and we look forward to each and every event we share in the future. Your services are truly first class all the way. Kind Regards, |

Robyn is a jewel. Her services through The Wedding Belle are impeccable! Robyn not only took all the pressure off of getting the perfect vendors to meet our needs and requirements but she also provided emotional support that every bride CANNOT do without! She is eager to make each wedding unique and special for each couple. No cookie-cutter weddings from The Wedding Belle! If you are looking for a planner/coordinator who will do a wedding the right way with such diplomacy, grace and poise while placing value on your special requests, then you need to secure Robyn’s services. I not only had the wedding of my dreams, but I was blessed with a friendship with Robyn that will last a lifetime.

Thank God for Robyn! My husband and I were slow in planning our wedding. Our professional lives were far too consuming to spare any time for planning a wedding. We needed assistance so I asked around about wedding planners and we were given Robyn’s name. From the first moment we met with Robyn, her unparalleled professionalism was evident. We shared our various ideas with her and she guided us in planning the most beautiful/perfect wedding that we could have imagined. Our wedding day went off without a hitch. The ceremony and reception were well timed and executed. Everybody agreed, thank God for Robyn and her services. We wouldn’t have done anything differently and were very happy with everything.

Robyn was wonderful! There were many hiccups and she dealt with all of them with professionalism and confidence. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her. It was hard enough trying to plan a wedding, try doing it living in Virginia and getting married in Oklahoma! I had no idea what all goes into a wedding and she was right there to guide me through. Robyn is not only a wedding planner but a friend who was there for me to talk to when I wanted to poke my eyes out! Thank you for all that you did, Robyn.

Robyn,
I don’t know how many people I spoke with after the wedding about how the event went! I told all of them that I wouldn’t do another wedding without Robyn! You had everything down, with the itineraries for everyone, everybody knew their place and what needed to be done. You were always on top of things and making sure we had the information that was needed for the selected vendors. You did a great job and I would give my recommendation to anyone who would ask. Thanks, Kathryn Boler MOB 03-23-06 |

Robyn is the best! I don’t know how we would have done it without her. She is very professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to have around. Robyn took all the stress out of planning our wedding and allowed us to enjoy it. Robyn gave us the best day of our lives and a great start to a happy life together. Thanks to her knowledge, we had the best vendors. Everything was beautiful, more beautiful than I ever imagined. It was truly the best day ever and we are thankful to Robyn for everything.

I am writing from the Mother of the Groom’s perspective of the wedding. The wedding of our children, Scott and Janet, was a joint effort between the two families and, of course, Robyn Martin! Robyn is known as the “fairy godmother” of the bride, but she is just as much a “fairy godmother” for the mothers, as well. Robyn always puts “her bride” first, as she should, but she treats every member of the families involved with such compassion and professionalism. Robyn is extremely diplomatic and definitely KNOWS her etiquette! When we first met with Robyn, the fathers were concerned that the mothers and Janet would miss out on the FUN of planning a wedding. Let me tell you that we did not miss out on any of the FUN, but what we did miss out on was stress and all the hard work! Scott and Janet’s wedding was absolutely WONDERFUL!! We all had one of the most wonderful and memorable experiences of our lives, thanks to Robyn. She does all of the WORK and one would never know that it was really WORK by watching her. She loves her job and it certainly shows. We have a daughter getting married in a year and we have already started working with Robyn!!

What a blessing and a joy it has been to work with Robyn. I met her at a local bridal show and knew I had struck gold in being able to hire her.
She exhibits the kind of class, poise, and grace that every bride dreams of her wedding coordinator having. In addition, her endless knowledge about everything wedding-related, from etiquette to appropriate vendors to ceremony in's and out's left me resting easy about what would otherwise be such a stressful time for all of us. Through Robyn’s creativity and budget counsel, paired with elegant, classic taste and style, we were able to put on the wedding of my dreams that stayed within the budget of my parents’ dreams! She made me feel, at all times throughout the wedding process, as if I was her single-most important client (and I am positive that this is how she makes all of her clients feel!). Robyn exhibits the utmost professional devotion and commitment to each bride, vendor, and wedding-related detail. Not only did I gain a wonderful friend out of my time with Robyn, but a professional and personal role model whose character, dependability, integrity, and class (I could go on) I can only hope to emulate in my own life. She is a Godsend. Robyn, I can not thank you enough for making this day even more than I hoped it could be! Krysten Sullivan Vardeman ~ 12/17/05 |

Thank you so much for helping with the coordination of our wedding day. I thought my mom and I would have been able to handle it but when she broke her ankle I did not know what we would do. So, we found you and you saved my wedding. You were superb! Thank you very much!

Dear Robyn – I just wanted to thank you for everything you did for my wedding. You made my day as stress-free as possible. I really appreciate everything. You are a great lady who exceeded my expectations and a true professional who loves her job and is PERFECT at it! That was something that was important to me…that I worked with someone who really enjoys her job. I am so glad that you took the time to find out about me and what I wanted. I am also still very impressed that you made me feel that my wedding planning was only about Matt and me. You are a wonderful wedding coordinator and I would and will recommend you to any one. I give you 11 out of 10 stars!! Awesome job. Thank you.

The perfect wedding day...I have dreamed of it as long as I can remember. And I just had it! When I was first engaged, I was swirling in a sea of creative ideas; the perfect dress, acres of flowers and the grandest cake in wedding history. As I began planning, I realized I was in over my head and more stressed than joyous. After my first meeting with Robyn, I knew The Wedding Belle would be exactly what I needed. As equal parts etiquette adviser, theme master, vendor mediator, budget genius, cheerleader and emotional therapist, Robyn created and orchestrated the best day of my life. She honed in on what was most important to me. She took my wild ideas and helped me harness them into truly personal details. Her expert advise, experience and creativity transformed what would have been a lovely, but unrefined ceremony into a professional caliber event worthy of a star, which is exactly how I felt. The best part is she did it all within my budget! I had everything I wanted. It was a perfect, problem-free wedding day from my perspective. Robyn took care of it all. She handled details of which I knew nothing about! My favorite thing about my wedding day is that I have absolutely no regrets. There is not one single thing I would do differently and not many brides can say that. The Wedding Belle made the difference. It was such a joy to work with Robyn. Her kindness, character, integrity and giftedness are rare. I had a wonderful time meeting with her and always left our meetings with such a sense of purpose. Whether you require the answer to a simple etiquette question or a full service package, Robyn Martin will be an invaluable asset to you in planning and delivering your wedding day!

Robyn took the stress out of planning my wedding. She made it what it should be - a time of happiness and excitement. She took the time to get to know me, my style and my personality so she could assist me in planning the wedding of MY dreams. Each wedding Robyn works on is unique. Each wedding is a reflection of the couple's personality. She ensured I had all aspects of my wedding covered. She provided samples and suggestions when I was unsure. She is knowledgeable about every detail of a wedding - from etiquette, to flowers, to food, etc .... She talked me through every decision and reassured me I had made the right choice. When stressful situations arose, I always knew Robyn was only a phone call away with calming answers. She talked me through the issues until we came up with a solution. She helped me to communicate my wishes to my family and my church in an effective manner. When I met Robyn and her daughter, Allie, for the first time, Allie told me "My mom will SPOIL you." She was right. I am not only getting a wedding that is more than I can imagine, I've made a life long friend. - Shawna Dauphin

"Make lemonade!" That's the single most important piece of advice I got while planning my wedding. And it came from Robyn Martin at The Wedding Belle. I knew that there would be setbacks to planning my wedding, but I was not aware of the personal obstacles I wold have to overcome to reach my wedding day...bitter bridesmaids, lost friendships, pre-marital strife. From contacting non-responsive guests, compensating for unexpected arrivals, and creating and re-creating itineraries to numerous "emergency" meetings, gift delivery, and guidance in the seating chart, Robyn held my hand the whole way, chanting, "Make Lemonade!" Robyn's positive, can-do attitude at taking a sour moment and turning it into something wonderful is what sets her apart from others. I had met with several other wedding coordinators before I met Robyn. She is the only person who shared some of her own stories and experiences in taking the dreaded "what if" moments that every bride fears, and still managing to turn those moments into the dream wedding. Without Robyn by my side during this planning process, and in the actual coordinating of the reception, I definitely would have washed my hands of everything and eloped! I would recommend Robyn for any kind of event coordinating, and am myself planning to take advantage of her knowledge, grace, encouragement, and calming influence in an upcoming shower. The planning of my wedding took 8 months. The wedding itself took one day. As with the marriage, the things I learned during the process will last a lifetime. I will forever try to make lemonade! - Amanda

Dear Robyn,
Thank you for all of your hard work through my wedding experience. Your help and guidance throughout the whole process was great and allowed me to relax and enjoy the best day of my life thus far! All brides should have you by their side as they go through the ups and downs of the wedding process! Sincerely, |

I have had the pleasure, and I truly mean pleasure, of working with Robyn Martin on several weddings. I find her to be a very pleasant, reliable, conscientious and extremely polished professional, highly organized while remaining a most gracious hostess. When she is in the house, or in my case, the church, I know the event has got a "Midas Touch."
