“We couldn't have made a better choice in using Heirloom Event Company to help us plan our wedding. Our planning timeline was only about 5 months, My husband and I lived in different countries and had to deal with the added stress of immigration visas on top of wedding planning. We wanted a planner who would understand our needs and someone we could trust to listen to our vision for the day and make it happen. Haylie was so easy to work with, always on top of deadlines and keeping us on track in the all stages of planning. She listened to our ideas and dreams and found vendors that suited and fit within budget. She found us an amazing coffee cart vendor after i said coffee would be awesome to have. We dreamed of it being a fairytale/ hobbiton vibes in the music, she found us a music duo who hit the brief perfectly. She helped us surprise each other the morning of and throughout the day. She communicated with vendors, understood the fine print in the contracts and would let us know what our responsibility was. She was so supportive throughout the whole planning stage, any questions we had she answered and even after the wedding, answering questions that only come up after the event has happened. Haylie was intentional, thoughtful and she helped us be at ease leading up to the wedding and day of. With family travelling from outside of the country, she made a simple document we could give to them to have all the info needed so they didn't ask us the day of. Haylie went above and beyond to make our wedding day our dream day and we cant thank her enough.”

“Working with Blair was probably the best decision we made during the process of planning our wedding. My husband and I both work 9-5 corporate jobs, and we knew that we needed to bring someone onto our “wedding team” that would help keep us on track with all of the milestones during the wedding planning process. From the get-go, over our 15-month planning period, Blair was always transparent about timing and was a master of following up regarding timelines, without ever badgering us or coming across as controlling. She spent over an hour discussing budgets with us and our families early on, to make sure that everything we planned stayed in the budget range that we’d all agreed upon. This was especially helpful during our venue and vendor selection process. She helped us find that blew our socks off, and also found us the most wonderful florist (@thelocalpetaler) who was able to provide us way more bang for our buck than any florist we’d be able to find on our own - a huge advantage. While we had our venue already picked out, Blair was able to recommend a food and beverage package with an available catering company that fell delivered us fantastic food and a premium beverage package that fit our budget.   Leading up to the wedding, Blair was also a master in helping us coordinate our wedding day planning including family photos, transportation e.g. coordinating our bus between multiple hotels and the venue while making it easy for us to just focus on ourselves. The peace of mind that Blair brought us throughout the planning process, week of, and day of our wedding made having our wedding a cakewalk rather than a headache. Spending the money to hire Blair was the best decision we could’ve made for our wedding!”

“The title says it all... Emily is IN-CRED-I-BLE!!! We worked with Emily for well over a year on our wedding and she handled anything and everything that we needed help with. Whether it was finding vendors/venues and contacting them, handling paperwork, setting up calls, tours, etc., Emily put our mind at ease with it and took care of it. She's also incredibly personable and fun to talk to! By the time our wedding came, it was bittersweet because we had looked forward to our weekly calls with her! On the day of our wedding Emily was a superhero..... She helped set things up, make sure everything ran smoothly, helped tear down at the end of the night, and packed our car with decorations and things we had brought for us so we had nothing to worry about. We HIGHLY highly highly (I'll say again) HIGHLY recommend hiring Emily for ANY event, but definitely hire her if you're getting married!! We recommended her to all of our friends—she truly helped make our wedding an incredible experience!!”

“We truly had the most incredible experience with our planner, Kay. She stepped in two months out from our wedding and took over every piece of communication, coordinated everything behind the scenes, and ensured that everything was 100% ready before our wedding day. On our wedding weekend she was absolutely incredible. She was so thorough and efficient in coordinating each piece of our day. She was so patient and understanding and handled things head on as they happened. She made sure everything went perfectly to plan and our timelines were executed perfectly. She also is the sweetest human and is so easy to talk to, she makes everyone feel super comfortable. She not only coordinated our entire day but also took so many behind the scene photos for us on our wedding day which were so fun to look at the next day. She can truly do it all! We would absolutely recommend hiring Simply Elegant Group for your wedding planning!”

Rebecca has more than a decade of experience within the event and hospitality industries. In her personal time, she enjoys leaning into creativity, psychology and exploring new destinations, food and drinks.

“Rebecca is nothing short of incredible! She was a necessity for our wedding planning process and coordination, and we all agreed hiring her was the most valuable choice we made during it. From the very first intro call where we had been speaking to a lot of new vendors, deciding what worked for us, which personalities we matched with, and beginning to understand all that it would take to pull off an incredible event, she made us feel at ease! She is an absolute professional - she keeps things very realistic, but positive, and knows how to work well with many different people in the industry. She knew when she needed to encourage them to follow up with us or something was due on our end, she was always very kind about it. We trusted her as she knew many of the vendors we would be working with and she also came with great recommendations when we weren’t sure on a vendor. She takes comprehensive notes of your conversations so that no idea or thought is forgotten and it makes you feel so valued as a client that she cares so much about your big day. Our families were equally impressed with her professionalism and care for her clients. With the coordination package, we were so much less stressed than other couples we’ve witnessed, since Rebecca handled the majority of communication amongst vendors in the month leading up to the wedding (and even was on top of it prior to taking a much deserved vacation for herself!). We were able to be fully present on our wedding day and thoroughly enjoyed it, which is everything it should be! We cannot recommend her enough and are so happy to follow her now on Instagram where we can see all the difference she’s making in other couples’ big days!”

The day of the wedding, Jojo had full control of everything and did not worry me with vendor issues. Jojo made my wedding a successful wedding because of how smooth everything went. If something did not go has planned she will step up and find other alternatives. She is wonderful to work with and I’m glad I chose Jokay’s event. I will forever sing her praises!”

“Bristol was a joy to work with. We hired her when we were only 5 months out from our wedding and she jumped into action as our day-of-coordinator. As we started handing things off to her and the date got closer, we realized this was the best investment we made for our wedding day. Bristol was able to reassure us, coordinate with our families, and stay calm when things were hectic. She is very well organized and communicative, the documents she provides will help make your wedding day run smoothly. My husband and I have been in weddings with other coordinators and none of them have compared to how well prepared Bristol was for our wedding. Her and her team ran our almost 200 person wedding smoothly and when we arrived to our venue after the ceremony, we were so pleased at how everything had been handled and set up. Could not recommend her enough!!!”

“I reached out to so many planners/coordinators for my wedding and so many were either slow to respond or did not respond at all. Chelsea was prompt and excited to help, despite my wedding being quite the undertaking. I did my own (faux) flowers, which meant on top of regular day-of duties, she was putting up full floral arrangements, lighting hundreds of candles, and putting together tons of other small details and finishing touches. I can't emphasize this enough - our day would not have come together in the way that it did without her. She was on top of everything and truly made my vision come to life. She was helpful in dealing with other vendors as well, and did everything with a smile on her face. When I came to her days before my wedding with a crazy new surprise, she was down to help. My husband agrees that Chelsea was worth her weight in gold - I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Chelsea for everything you did to make our wedding day go so smoothly.”

“After some careful contemplating, I decided to hire a Day-of Coordinator for my wedding day. I was nervous to give up the reins after all of the pre-planning work I did. I'm (admittedly) a control freak and really wanted our big day to go as well as possible and stay within budget. It's also not easy for me to ask for help. A friend recommended Bisoux Event Co. to help me and Lisa was my Coordinator. She was kind, professional and handled many moving parts with aplomb and poise. After speaking with her for the first time, I knew she was exactly what I needed so I could relax, give my phone to my MOH and enjoy the day. When things had to change on the fly, (they will, they always do) she made audible decisions that were thoughtful and practical. If you are a control freak like me, do yourself a favor and hire Bisoux for your big day- You'll be grateful for the help!”

“Was referred to ESA from someone in my opinion whom was less than professional in her communication. So there was a little trepidation at first. However, from our first interaction with Christena at ESA to the end of the event Christena conducted herself in a professional and exceptional manner. From her initial communication, to vendor recommendations to all of the questionnaires to ensure the events moved smoothly were all investments that showed Christena cared. We used ESA for day of wedding coordination as well as a surprise birthday party the day before the wedding g. Yep, busy, busy, busy. Christena was there for a walk through at the venue which was 2 hours from her home base. She stayed in contact throughout the months leading up the the events and take the lead with vendor a onto or so before. She helped to keep us on track and was available via email with short turn around times. Although their was a LOT of planning prior to the wedding, Christena was more than helpful keeping us on track and ensuring the wedding day could be enjoyed without worrying about last minute pop up issues, and there were a few. Her team was able to resolve a bartender issue causing minimal interruption for guests. In the end Christena felt more like a guest as much as a vendor for each event. We are grateful for the service Christena provided and would highly recommend her and her company, ESA to anyone wanting a coordinator to help ease the stresses of such and important and joyous day!!”

“As an Entertainment Director/Event Manager myself, I’m blown away by Franklin. It was important for me to hire someone I could trust to handle the organization for my wedding day. After our first meeting with Franklin, I knew he understood what we wanted. I was thrilled to know he was available for our wedding, and I feel like we couldn’t have made a better choice. Before the wedding day, I was so relieved when Franklin came over to pick up all the decor. He even stopped by on the morning of the wedding to check on us and pick up any last-minute items. This alone really touched me because many people don’t go that extra mile, but Franklin does! I was seriously stressing about how to get those items delivered, and Franklin came right along and eased all that stress! He took our ideas and exceeded our expectations. We are Funko Pop collectors, so we wanted a fun way to incorporate them into our wedding decor, and he did it with ease. He surprised us several times throughout the event, and those memories are some of my favorite moments. When he revealed the reception dining room, which he had decorated for us, I was filled with chills. I couldn’t believe he took my simple idea and made it look so GRAND; it was next level. Then we walked over to the cookie and cake table, where I was seriously at a loss for words. I was blown away by the details he displayed in his decorating. It seemed like a scene from a movie. Before walking down the aisle, we learned that one of our food caterers was extremely late delivering the food and potentially wasn’t going to deliver it at all. Franklin was calm but still urgent in his demeanor, and I totally appreciated his proactive professionalism. Moments like these can really test any event coordinator's patience and could cause a domino effect. I don’t know exactly what happened or what he did, but all the food was there and ready to be served when it was time to eat. Our guests LOVED our wedding. They all mentioned how different and elevated our wedding was, and I’m 100% sure that had a lot to do with Franklin’s hard work. We wanted something unique, and he delivered. Overall, I’m truly grateful to have met Franklin and want to also shine some light on his assistant, Will. Both of their A, fun, efficacious attitudes just make everything better. I was able to kick back and watch my wedding day unfold beautifully. For those who work in events/entertainment, you know how hard it is to go to any event and not feel like you’re working, especially your own event (lol). Franklin is a star, and I’m sure he’s going to go far in the event business. He understands the importance of an event and how each event is personally unique. Most importantly, he takes the time to know and understand his clients.”

“My husband and I got married in July 2022 and we booked Amanda about 16 months in advance. I think I, perhaps, was on the moderately chill side and sometimes I didn't know what to do because I either liked a lot of options or I just didn't even know what the options were. Amanda really helped me narrow things down and kept the wedding planning moving forward on pace. She had great ideas, great vendor recommendations, and was always kind and patient when I was confused or indecisive. I am so glad that I worked with Amanda for my wedding; I had the most joyful day and even when there were unexpected problems, Amanda and the assigned coordinator, Taylor, worked everything out so that my husband I really never felt anything but wedded bliss. I can't recommend Amanda Paige Events enough, they truly made me feel cared for and that they were invested in making my wedding the best it could possibly be!”

“Pauline and her team are amazing! We went with the Blossom package (3 month coordination), and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Pauline is organized and was always available to answer any questions we had. She provided advice when needed and was super professional throughout the whole process. She is also just so kind, patient and reassuring and made the last few months of wedding planning less stressful. On the wedding day, her and her assistants took care of everything so smoothly. Pauline and her team coordinated with the vendors and all we had to think about that day was us. That really made it one of the best days of our lives. We would recommend Here it Blooms to everyone! Thank you so much Pauline!!”

“I am a professional wedding photographer and found that working with Elizabeth in the capacity of wedding coordinator was overall a great experience! She was very professional and prompt with her communication and her actions on day-of were nothing less than above the bar!! It was my first time working with Liz and I found that she knew the right questions to ask me (as the photographer) and how to make it a great and easy experience for the couple. I was and am very pleased and put them immediately on the referral list for preferred vendors because of how great they were to work with! 10 out of 10 would recommend and cannot wait to work with them in the future!”

“I contacted Fierce to help me plan a happily ever after party to celebrate with friends and family after we eloped during COVID. Many of the the party planning companies I'd talked to seemed confused or uncomfortable with this slightly unconventional request - but not Fierce! They had great ideas, great advice and went out of their way to find vendors, decor and ideas that exactly matched our vision. Olivia and Laura were on top of all the timing and details throughout the process and always available and helpful. The party went off without a flaw or worry. What a great experience!”

“Hiring Ohana and working with Sonya was easily the best decision we made while wedding planning. I was hesitant to hire an outside coordinator because we had a venue coordinator, but the venue coordinator does not do nearly the amount that Ohana does. Hiring Ohana is a NEED. I was first introduced to Danielle and we instantly connected. I felt she understood my vision and wanted to help create our dream wedding. We were lucky enough to be assigned to Sonya for the 90-day coordination package and she was the kindest, most patient, and organized planner. She responded quickly to emails and answered all of my questions, she took over communication with vendors and relieved much of the planning stress, she provided detailed checklists and kept me on track. She also created a detailed by the minute itinerary for the entire weekend for us, our vendors, and a shorthand version for our bridal party which was extremely helpful. Our wedding day was seamless with no hiccups and I can honestly thank Sonya for that. She made sure to keep the day moving on schedule, communicated with all of the vendors, and made sure to check in with me often. Even wedding guests and our parents gave raving reviews for Sonya. My husband and I agree that hiring Ohana and being able to work with Sonya was the best investment we would do all over again, and we recommend them to everyone. I wish I had hired Sonya sooner! Best wedding coordinator of all time. It is true, Ohana means family, and that is exactly how the team treats you.”

“Hiring Sonya was the best thing we did while planning our wedding! I can’t begin to describe how amazing she is- she listens to every single detail asked for and delivers beyond what she promised. The night before our wedding we realized the lawn was undergoing some treatment and the grass got burnt, she actually spray painted the aisle so that we get a green lawn for our pictures. That’s just one example of her exceptional work. I could not have done my wedding without Sonya! ”

“Colleen Fahy was our coordinator, and she was absolutely incredible. Her guidance, her input, her sweet personality, her organizational skills, her foresight, her patience, her flexibility, her thoughtfulness, her ability to put us at ease… all made her so wonderful to work with. I didn’t worry about a single thing on wedding day, because I truly trusted that Colleen had helped us prepare so well, and that anything that would come up she would handle. And she sure did!! Colleen handled a lot of issues that arose on wedding day without us knowing!! She handled all communication with our vendors leading up to the wedding which was a HUGE burden off of our shoulders. Colleen spared us a lot of stress, and we’re so grateful that she allowed us to be in the moment and enjoy every minute of the day. So many people in my bridal party / other guests at the wedding mentioned how amazing Colleen was!! The bridal party / other VIP's LOVED the detailed timeline/itinerary that Colleen prepared and distributed prior to the wedding. People knew where to be and when, and didn't have to reach out to me with small questions as a result. People around us noticed and appreciated all that she and her team did, and we certainly did, too. AND, Colleen did it all with a calming presence and a smile on her face. We were so impressed. Colleen and Joan humored my many overly detailed questions, requests, anxieties, etc.! I honestly felt like nothing slipped through the cracks on our wedding weekend because Colleen and her team were there to catch it all. She remembered and honored everything we mentioned to her over the past few months (which was A LOT!)! We could go on and on... 100% recommend Five Grain Events and Colleen Fahy was an absolute GEM.”
