Easy and fun read!

I loved Faith. She is so sure of herself and what she wants. I loved reading about the weddings she planned and the dynamics that come with them.
Her and Edward are the perfect match and were fun to read about.

A good book!

Danielle Steel brings us the story of Faith, the wedding planner of wedding planners. She is the one you want to plan your wedding. She has the ability to make all of your wedding dreams come true elegantly and in style that makes your shine. Of course, all of this wonderfulness comes at a hefty price. As much of a great planner Faith is, she does not believe in marriage. With broken engagements under her belt, a sister whose family keeps growing, and a mother who still believes in getting married, Faith is surrounded by love and marriage and hope. With the constant stream of new brides and grooms, will Faith's outlook on marriage ever change? Will her outlook on finding love again ever change?

Danielle Steel brings us the story of a woman's journey as she prepares brides and grooms get ready for their big day and everything in between. We meet three very different couples each with their own stories and styles and see how Faith handles them both when they are in crisis and when they are in the glow of engagements. We get to see what happens behind the scenes as a wedding planner and all the drama that goes with it and within her own family. You get to journey with the three couples from the beginning to actual wedding day and beyond. We see that life sometimes throws you curveballs and how we react to them. This is what keeps you turning the page and see what happens next with the cast of characters.

I received and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I would like to thank NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Delacorte Press for this privilege.

Another darling novel under the queen of women's fiction/romance fiction's belt!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been a Danielle Steele fan for 20+ yrs and I love each book in different ways. Every story she puts out in the book world is different, unique, and special in its own way.

As with all of Danielle Steels books, they never disappoint. I always love the strong women in her novels.

This one is about Faith Ferguson. She is a wedding planner and is sought out by everyone. She specializes in million-dollar weddings, as well as modest weddings. Faith has a twin sister, Hope. Hope loves her life as a wife and mother. After two failed engagements, Faith has decided she will never get married. She loves planning weddings, but marriage is not ever in her future. She helps couples through with all of their wants and needs for the perfect wedding. She is working on three weddings when her mother tells her she is getting married. That makes four for that summer. Faith works tirelessly making sure all of them come together. Through one of her weddings for Alex and Morgan, she meets Morgan’s brother Edward and falls in love. No wedding, but they planned a honeymoon. I would love to see a new book about Faith and Edward’s adventures. Do they ever wed??

Thank you NetGalley, Random House Publishing - Ballantine, Delacorte Press and Danielle Steel for the ARC for my honest review.

I can always get lost in a Danielle Steel book and I enjoy reading her books so much! This book is no exception to Danielle Steels long list of great reads for me. I fell in love with the characters and the whole story line. I know this read will be just as good for everyone as it was for me.

Faith Ferguson is one of the most sought after wedding planners around. Faith has been able to do some fabulous weddings and now she is well known for her extravagant and elegant weddings. Faith has a twin sister Hope that she is very close to. Hope and Faith talk daily and are very in tune to each other but are so opposite in some ways too. Hope waited until she was older to settle down and is totally devoted to her husband and family now. Hope was a very well known model but that is all in her past now. Hope has 3 kids and her husband is aiming for 6.

Faith was engaged on several occasions but nothing ever worked out for her. This story reminded me of the Always a Bridesmaids, Never a Bride story line. Faith is always the wedding planner, but ever the bride. Faith has pretty much resolved to never marry because she has seen what has happened to some of her clients. Faith just plans beautiful weddings and lives through others and their weddings.

Not only is Faith an amazing wedding planner, but she has a huge heart as well and is willing to go out of her way for those that she plans weddings for. When a couple of her clients hit bumps in the road before their wedding, Faith is there to listen to them and help in any way that she can. Faith has to know where to draw the line though because sometimes people just have to learn for themselves.

Faith's clients in this story that we get to know provide so much to the story and I loved getting to know each of them as well as Faith and her family. I know you will love this story and the characters as much as I did. I highly recommend this read and all of Danielle Steel books as well.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book and all opinions are my own. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book. I really enjoyed Faith!

Loved this book about a wedding planner getting involved in all of the couples' drama. She also has a (great) twin sister, so who could resist this novel?

The title tells you what this book is going to be about, and Faith as the wedding planner does amazing things with wedding dreams.

Along the way we fall in love with her twin sister, Hope, and her family and many of the people from some of her favorite weddings. Does Faith find her dream wedding?

To me this book was missing something and it absolutely could have been me as I can’t image the cost and all that went into these weddings.

DS did a great job with different type of people having these weddings and how different they were. I just couldn’t relate.

The Wedding Planner by Danielle Steel has Faith Ferguson planning three very different weddings. Faith is one of the most sought after wedding planners. You can always count on Faith to plan every detail of a wedding and to make the event magical for the couple. Faith may plan weddings, but she has no interest in getting married. I found The Wedding Planner to be easy to read. This is one of those stories that is a nice break from reality. I enjoyed the descriptions of the weddings that Faith created for each couple. She certainly came up with some creative ideas. There were two that were over-the-top while another was elegant. Weddings bring out the drama in families. Mothers want one thing while the bride wants another (or a groomzilla). Faith gets to hear it all and must tread a fine line (it would not do to take one side over the other). Faith’s twin, Hope is the opposite of Faith. She has a loving husband and a large, noisy family. In addition, Faith’s assistant is getting married, and Faith’s mother is walking down the aisle for the fourth time. There are a variety of personalities along with a diverse set of social issues (an abusive relationship, a charming gay couple who plan to have a child through a surrogate, and an unplanned pregnancy). There is repetition of backstory details that is typical in this author’s books. I enjoyed the upbeat ending that left me smiling. The Wedding Planner is a lovely afternoon diversion. The Wedding Planner is an escapist story with a prosperous wedding planner, a groomzilla surgeon, fireworks on the fourth, adoption quandary, a winter wedding, a jubilant twin, and happily ever after.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC I received in exchange for my honest opinion.

The Wedding Planner by Danielle Steel is a fun and entertaining read. Faith Ferguson is an unmarried, hugely successful, wedding planner in New York. She loves her job, but has no desire to be a bride herself. Faith surrounds herself with family and friends, and builds her life around making others dreams come true. I enjoyed the descriptions of the extravagant weddings to those on a smaller scale but just as beautiful. I also loved the diversity of the different couples. There is plenty of drama as anything can happen in a wedding.

I also enjoyed the main characters as well as the supporting characters. The Wedding Planner is a quick read, with plenty of glamour, love, and family. Another enjoyable read from Danielle Steel.

My review will be posted 4/25/23 to Goodreads, BookBub, Pinterest and posted to Amazon on publication day.

Faith is the best wedding planner in NYC!
After 2 failed engagements herself, planning is what she loves and does best!

I dove right in and couldn’t put this book down as always true to Danielle’s books it was beautiful. The characters were so realistic and that made it feel so heartwarming.
I enjoyed reading about weddings, the drama that happens between families and how planners hear it all.

It’s a gorgeously sweet novel
If you love to hear about Weddings told by the planner this book is for you!
I enjoyed it very much.
Thank you so much Netgalley!

This was a fun and quick read by Danielle Steel. It was different than her other novels in that it involves a wedding planner who has had bad experiences and is now staying away from the altar herself.

Each wedding she plans is very different and some of the weddings would make anyone run in the other direction. There is a lot of drama behind 2 of the 3. The third wedding is a very lovable gay couple and they are a most wonderful refreshing light beside the other 2 weddings. Their story is not without drama around babies though. Even the brightest of lights cannot be without a bit of darkness from time to time. The first 2 weddings support Faith's avoidance of marriage but the last one could renew anyone's faith that marriages can be good, supportive and all around amazing.

I gave this 4 out of 5 because I would have rather seen more story spent on Faith's romantic adventure than spending so much on the other couples. I get that it was important for Faith to learn to be ok with marriage and what it could be but it just missed the mark a bit there for me.

Recommended as a quick read at the beach or vacation day. Definitely a solid effort.

Would you hire a wedding planner who did not believe in marriage? (At least for herself). This is a story about families, mostly about two sisters - Faith and Hope. Faith is one of the most sought after wedding planners in the country. Hope is the sister who does believe in marriage and having children. This story is about love which comes in many different forms. This was a very happy book and I really enjoyed it. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute story following a desirable wedding planner, Faith. She is tasked with 3 weddings and all come with some sort of drama or disaster of their own. As you read the story you are introduced to other characters as well including Faith's twin sister, Hope who seems to be the opposite of Faith but is the person who keeps her grounded and pushing through. All the characters you meet in the story are likeable and the way they all intertwine and come together at the end was great.

The ending was not the best for me as it was predictable and I hoped it would have ended differently, but I did enjoy it reading this story!

Thank you Netgalley, the publisher and the amazingly talented author for my ARC!

Thank you so much to NetGalley, the
publisher, Delacorte Press, and, author Danielle Steel, for granting me an advance copy of this book in return for my honest opinions.

Danielle Steel is at the top of my pre-order and must be read list. I was super,super excited to be granted a copy of this book!

Danielle does a great job with plot, character development and storyline. I loved the drama in this book and the character Faith was so beautifully done I felt like I knew her personally and had spent years with her.

Danielle Steel does a great job weaving controversial issues into the storyline. She does not shy away from the issues of unplanned pregnancy, infidelity, same sex marriage, premarital sex, domestic abuse, and surrogacy. I found she did a beautiful job showing the social problems presented and the struggles our characters face in each of these situations.

I loved everything about this book. It is paced well. Packed with drama and, of course, romance. How can we have a Danielle Steel book without romance, especially none about a wedding planner?

If you love a dramatic romance you will love this one!

Highly recommend.

Another wonderful Danielle Steel book. This book is the story of Faith, the most sought after wedding planner in New York. She loves her life and job, but has no desire to be a bride herself. She surrounds herself with family, and friends who have become family, and builds a life for herself that makes her happy and complete. Lots of moving pieces and characters that blend together easily to create a sweet and enjoyable story of love, family, friendship, and self discovery. I truly loved the story and highly recommend for fans of Steel.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Faith's an ace wedding planner who hasn't made it to the altar herself- making this mostly a tale of the weddings she arranges. There are three clients, each with a problem that Faith helps to solve- these are pretty privileged people but that doesn't mean there isn't darkness. And babies! Faith's also got a twin sister, Hope who is married with children and an assistant, Violet, who is critical to making everything work. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. This is a fluffy and entertaining novel that's a little different from the usual Steel but it's also one that will be a good beach read.

This book is a VERY GOOD READ. This book is about twins Faith, the wedding planner , who was totally against marriage for herself as she had been jilted a couple of times and Hope who was a family person, she and Angus has 3 children and is pregnant again., Faith was a top wedding planner in New York. There are so many couples in this story and each has their own place in the story, Alex and Morgan, Violet and Jordon, Phoebe and Doug, , Annabelle and Jeremy and Faith and Hope's mother Marianne and Jean-Pierre. These were the weddings and each is so different. . Also Faith falls for Morgan's older brother Edward. Does she change her mind abourt marriage.

A wedding planner who doesn’t believe in marriage seems unlikely, but Faith is the most sought after planner in New York. From extravagant million dollar wedding to a small wedding for her mom Faith excels at each one she plans. A fast read with great main characters and supporting characters. Thank you. NetGalley for my early copy and chance to review.
