What makes your business stand apart?

Our biggest desire is to create an intimate environment that inspires creativity. Together with you, our goal is to uncover your vision for your wedding day. We want to learn the story of your relationship, the places you have traveled to together, the hobbies that spark your curiosity, and even the aesthetic that fills your home. When combined, these details carefully weave together to create an event that feels like a celebration but also one that feels undeniably like both of you.
When you think about weddings, you think about the flowers, the food, and the music. But it’s also about more. Planning a wedding is about celebrating the relationships that have defined and refined you, while creating new memories along the way. It’s about feeling heard and seen and loved throughout your entire planning journey. It’s about you and telling your story.
As a boutique wedding planning firm, we only work with a select number of couples each year so we can be present and by your side for every step of the way — and we invite you to join us.

I have had three daughters get married in the past twenty-two months, and can not imagine having done it without Susan and her team! Hiring her was the BEST decision we made, (we hired her three separate times!) and it was hands down the best money we spent. Her attention to detail —she thinks of EVERYTHING—and her carefully thought-out “run of show” guarantees a flawless event. And when something unexpected happens —like when the guests from the previous wedding linger too long in the church—Susan calmly comes to the rescue and fixes it. She is professional, kind and patient, and her years of experience and her relationships with the best vendors put her at the very top of the luxury wedding planners in the area. Every bride should have a Susan! HIGHLY recommend.

IF I COULD GIVE HER A MILLION STARS I WOULD!!!!!!!! Susan was absolutely incredible. From our very first meeting, Susan's passion for her craft shone through. She didn't just see our wedding as another event to organize; she understood the significance it held for us. Throughout the entire process, Susan was not just a planner, but a partner, guiding us with her wealth of knowledge and experience while always prioritizing our vision and preferences. When family obstacles got in the way, Susan was there. One of Susan's greatest strengths is her attention to detail. No aspect of our wedding was too small for her consideration. Susan ensured that everything was meticulously planned and executed flawlessly. Her organizational skills are truly remarkable, keeping everything on track and running smoothly, even in the face of unexpected challenges. On our wedding day, she literally came prepared with a large bag filled with everything one would need for ANY circumstance. Every element of our wedding felt uniquely ours, from the breathtaking floral arrangements to the personalized touches that reflected our personalities as a couple. One of the most invaluable aspect of Susan's service was her unwavering support and calming presence throughout the entire process. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Susan was always there with a reassuring smile and a solution to any problem that arose. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm made the entire experience not only manageable but enjoyable. In the end, our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more, and we have Susan to thank for that. It would NEVER have been possible without her. Her dedication, expertise, and passion for her work are truly exceptional, and we feel incredibly grateful to have had her by our side. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable, look no further than Susan. She is, without a doubt, the BEST in the business.

From the moment we were introduced to Susan Norcross/The Styled Bride, we knew we were in capable hands. Her reputation precedes her, and it's no exaggeration to say that Susan is a gem in the world of Philly wedding planning. Being a couple unfamiliar with the nuances of Philadelphia's wedding scene, Susan's profound experience and extensive knowledge of the city's vendors became our north star. She not only has an impeccable understanding of the rules and restrictions of the local venues, but her connection and familiarity with our wedding venue was a testament to the trust and rapport she's built over the years in the industry. It's no wonder she was highly recommended by them. Working with Susan was a delight. Throughout the planning process, she was consistently supportive and helpful, always going the extra mile to ensure our visions came to life. Her genuine kindness and patience made what could be a stressful time feel seamless and enjoyable. On our wedding day, Susan truly shone. She ran the show flawlessly, ensuring every detail was perfect and allowing us to be fully present in each moment, knowing everything was under control. From the intricate decorations to the timing of the ceremonies, she and her team managed it all with grace and professionalism. In retrospect, choosing The Styled Bride was a no-brainer. For anyone looking to have a wedding in Philadelphia, we wholeheartedly recommend Susan Norcross. Your special day will undoubtedly be in the best of hands. Thank you, Susan! -Phil and Zack
