Party Planning and Coordination...Weddings:"Beverly Johnston was our day of wedding coordinator for our March 9th wedding. She was always on time and professional. She was organized and specialized in seeing the big picture of our event as well as the small details that are important. Beverly came with us to important meetings. She asked helpful questions that we wouldn't have thought of. She kept notes and wedding info organized. The week of the wedding she handled all the last minute questions and details from caterers so that the wedding party could enjoy their family and know all was taken care of. If you want a special day that goes smoothly hire Beverly!"
Michael and Hannah Shoemaker "Our daughter's wedding was a dream! Beverly and Lisa's professionalism, wedding knowledge and organization were observed by all. We would highly recommend them to all our friends. They were always available when we needed them and took care of any concerns we might have had. The Big Day was so much fun, and as Mother of the Bride, I did not worry about anything, I just had a fun time at our Celebration. Beverly and Lisa did an outstanding job and we couldn’t have done it without the BEST "day of planners!" Again, thank you so much! Mona."
Mona Freedman - Caring Communities, Clarksville, Maryland - 301.933.8473 "Thank you, Bev, for the wonderful work you did in helping on our daughter’s wedding day. Initially, I thought I would be able to take on all the tasks at hand, but as the day approached I realized how valuable it was to have you available to assist us, which you did in so many ways. From picking up the flowers at our home, to coordinating and facilitating the set-up, to problem-solving and guiding our guests throughout the evening, your services proved invaluable and enabled us to relax and enjoy such an important day in our lives. Everyone found you easy and enjoyable to work with. We would unequivocally recommend you to anyone, especially given the breadth and depth of the services you render, and look forward to what we are sure will be another opportunity to work with you."
Mark and Kathy Gregory - Gregory Fine Portraits, Clarksville, Maryland - 301.933.8473 "Time Saver Advantage provided our family a great service for several of our family affairs; a wedding, a graduation, and a Surprise 60th birthday party!! I would highly recommend Beverly's business, because along with being very organized and professional, she is very personable, making one feel that you are really being taken care of!
The most recent event Beverly helped with she saved the day!!! On the day that our daughter was getting married, she willingly came first thing in the morning to our rescue, and helped lower our heightened "panic level!" With her valuable and "timely" assistance, she worked with me to put bouquets and boutonnieres together! She suggested ideas, and gave us a format to work with at the wedding and reception. We didn't have a wedding planner, but Beverly helped brainstorm our daughter's vision with her insights and past experience. The wedding was a success, and we ALL enjoyed every minute of it thanks to Beverly. I would highly recommend Beverly in planning and assisting at events. She is very reliable, and her rates are extremely reasonable. It's nice to have a gathering/party and enjoy it at the same time!!!!! Thank you, Beverly" Linda Reinhardt, Columbia, Maryland |
Bar and Bat Mitzvahs:"Thanks so much for doing an awesome job in the planning and prep of Adam's celebration. From the moment I met you a few weeks prior to his event, I knew you would be perfect in the role of organizer, planner and production coordinator. Your attention to detail was perfect and it allowed both Fern and I to feel at ease while at our son's Bar Mitzvah celebration. Several times during the event, I saw you "pop into action" when something caught your eye. The restaurant should definitely consider utilizing your service for EVERY party they bring on-site. Your personality and work ethic are exactly what the restaurant needs to do an A+ job. Anyone considering your services should jump at the opportunity to use you. Considering my line of work as an entertainer with nearly 2,000 bar mitzvahs on my resume, I am not the easiest guy to get high marks from. I have seen it all, trust me! But I must say, I was very impressed."

Her service was wonderful from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend Beverly to all my friends. I also plan to use Time Saver Advantage for my next big event!
Marla Bolt "Thank you so much for all of your help this past weekend. When you left my house on Wednesday night before my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. To me, everything I had to do was done and I could relax. I was able to sit back and enjoy the weekend with family and friends. You did an amazing job setting up the room and it was like magic when you broke it down at the end of the night. At the brunch, I was able to sit down and enjoy breakfast and time with out of town guests because of your presence.
Melissa Hamet "I was looking to hire some help and ended up with a true friend. This whole event has been so wonderful for me. From the planning and initial concept to seeing it all play out, it was such enormous fun and the anticipation just delicious! Along the way, you offered guidance, listened to me go on and on, and best of all, shared my excitement. I would say you are worth your weight in gold , but you don't weigh all that much so I'd have to say you're worth your weight AND MORE!
Susan Gnatt "Beverly did a wonderful job as the party planner for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. She worked the day of the event ensuring the venue was set up correctly and the party remained on schedule. She worked closely with the restaurant’s manager and the party’s DJ to make sure the event went smoothly and was basically “worry free” for me. In addition, Beverly helped me with several last-minute, time-consuming details. I couldn’t have managed without her!!!"

"Bev, it was so wonderful to have you helping me with both the pre-planning and onsite help at my husband's 50th birthday party. I planned a huge event (just kept inviting) since it was at my house and what the heck, might as well invite everyone... You helped me determine what was important and what just wasn't going to happen, and offered to help as much, or little, that I needed in certain areas. You were always patient and professional and never pushy.
Your background with cooking and (cooking presentations) was great in that you knew how to prepare meals that would be good for a crowd, as well as manage the flow of people, food and cleanup. It was reassuring that everytime I noticed, you were replenishing food or cleaning up. These were all jobs I would have been doing, the entire time. There was very little to do after you left, other than enjoy rehashing stories and reading cards and well wishes. Without your help, I wouldn't have had been able to enjoy all these wonderful friends and family that we gathered together. I can't thank you enough for your patience, organization and professionalism. I would never hesitate to refer you to my friends, my family or use you again for any event that I plan in the future!"

"My daughter's Sweet 16 party was a week away and I had not had time to get organized or prepped for the event at all. I emailed Bev Friday morning and by that afternoon she was on the job. I was so relieved! Bev had wonderful ideas for theme-related snacks and decorations. Her menu suggestions for teenagers were spot-on. She related well with my daughter who thought she was terrific. But the best part was that I was able to hand off the entire menu planning, shopping, prepping and set up to Bev. I was confident she would pull things off and she did. The night of the party, Bev was thoroughly prepared, calm and organized, and had thought of everything from food to serving dishes to plastic containers for me to take leftovers home in (!). Bev kept things running smoothly so I could enjoy the party with my daughter and family. Bev says she gives the gift of time ... and that is true. But her calm, competent and efficient party-planning skills are also a wonderful gift. "
