Scarlett & Bell

As a USA-based bride and groom getting married in Edinburgh during a global pandemic, our international wedding planning obstacles seemed insurmountable. Yet with Mercedes we were able to find the venue, caterers and florist that represented our tastes and values, on budget! Her knowledge of the local Edinburgh vendors and methodical approach to planning over two years resulted in the most memorable day of our lives so far- we attribute it all to her. And when we met on the day of the wedding she was the loveliest and most competent person. We would highly recommend Scarlett&Bell!

Though I was the mother of the groom, I had a wonderful experience working with Mercedes for our recent wedding weekend in Scotland. Because we are from the USA, Mercedes planned both rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and wedding reception. She arranged for the caterer, florist, musicians, photographers, transportation service, etc. No detail was too big or small--She exceeded all expectations! As an event planner, I appreciate her attention to detail and follow up. I strongly recommend Mercedes for all your event planning.

I found Mercedes in 2020 to help my partner and I plan the wedding we had always dreamed of. We are based in the US and she was everything we could have asked for in a wedding planner. Due to the pandemic, we had to postpone and she made the changes without a missing a beat. She was professional, kind, thoughtful and swift with ALL of our needs. I could not have asked for a better wedding planner and feel so grateful out paths crossed for this special day. If you are looking for a someone who can create the most perfect wedding, Mercedes is your girl!

We started planning for our 2022 wedding in the heart of the pandemic, and had decided to throw caution to the wind and get married in Scotland with some of our closest family and friends. When we looked for a wedding planner we wanted someone who not only knew their stuff, but would help us connect the dots on this adventure. And, most importantly, we wanted someone with the right personality for us. Mercedes of Scarlett and Bell crushed it on all fronts. She was always available whenever we had any questions, and was quick to assure us things were going according to plan whenever we were feeling stressed. On top of that, she was on top of everything all the time. She never missed a deadline with us (and we never missed one with her) and I cannot express enough how stress free she made our experience on the day of our wedding. To add to that, the styling of the day was absolutely on point. We were so impressed I cannot even describe it. Mercedes nailed every one of our ever-changing wishes, even when time seemed short and the situation dire. All of her vendor recommendations were excellent, and she helped set us up for success on every step of our planning journey. She even helped us get everything sorted for our rehearsal dinner, our stay, and many of our friends question and concerns. We couldnt have asked for a better planner. Thank you Mercedes and Scarlett and Bell, you helped make our dreams come true and we will be forever grateful

We started working with Mercedes and Agnes as our "3 month coordinator" about a year before our wedding. We are based in the US and planned to travel to Scotland only once during the planning process. They kindly offered to help us before the contract officially started, frequently setting up Zoom calls, providing recommendations via email, and even meeting us in person when we were visiting Edinburgh. Mercedes is amazing/lovely/wonderful/SO sweet, but this review is mostly about Agnes and Jenny, who were supporting us on the ground throughout our wedding weekend. First, they are two of the nicest and funniest people in the world. You want people around you on your wedding day that you can trust to allow you to relax, and these two definitely fit the bill. My family still talks about how much they LOVE Agnes, almost a month after my wedding is over! Agnes and Jenny expertly handled supplier issues, helped coordinate a timeline with A LOT of moving parts/locations, and kept us laughing the entire time. Also, the contract ended at the time the wedding was over, and we had some miscommunications of vendors taking things down at the wrong times - Agnes helped me deal with that (while I was on my honeymoon) even though it was outside the scope of our agreement. Our wedding was beautiful and we, along with all our guests, had such a great time. I truly think these ladies have chosen the best career ever for their skill sets - their organization and warmth is unparalleled. I highly recommend the entire team at S&B.
