Why weddings? Why events? Well, love, of course. I am a hopeless romantic who has a knack for theatre and a love for organization. So....voila! Wedding planner. I am the stage manager to your special day and I do it because I absolutely love it. I love love. I love family time and the important connections that are the fabric of our very being and certainly our important life moments.

We were incredibly comfortable having @kmloyonevents manage our wedding. She was always accessible to calm me during moments of stress, provided valuable advice, and connected me with some of the top vendors. The convenience of her extensive furniture rental selection was a huge plus. Whenever an issue arose, she was promptly there with solutions to ensure my wedding day was as dreamy and perfect as I envisioned. A heartfelt thank you to Kayla and her team for everything!

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

WOW! I can not say enough on how appreciative I am of Bari and Antonia. A month before my wedding I realized I desperately needed Day of Coordinators. Bari and Antonia were so responsive and assuring. They took on my wedding with such grace. No request of mine was too much. They travelled all the way to Jersey City from Philly and were so accomodating. They spent time with all our vendors on the day of the wedding, helping set up with the florist and some of my DIY decor. They made sure my ceremony procession ran smoothly. They made sure all the little details were taken care of. The night of my wedding, the only thought I had was to have a good time, and thats because Bari and Antonia did the rest. I couldn't recommend them more if you need help on your wedding day.

I'm the twenty-something-year-old that's gone from throwing "Weddings" in her neighbor's driveway, to throwing them in some pretty amazing spaces.

Wild Lily Event Planning is a full service wedding and special event planning company servicing Connecticut, New York and beyond. I take your unique dream and turn it into the most memorable day with every detail planned to perfection.

I can’t count the number of times during and after our wedding I said, “hiring Christina is the best money we spent on the wedding!” I am not a planner by nature and I was dreading wedding planning. The second we hired Christina, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted. She took care of all the tiny details, gave me ideas I never would have thought of, and brought our vision to life. She was so supportive throughout the whole process, answering texts and emails about absolutely everything. On the actual wedding day, I often thought that I didn’t know what we would have done without her. While our venue had a coordinator, they were not nearly as responsive and organized as Christina was. Christina will not only plan your wedding but she will be your friend throughout the whole wedding planning process. I can’t recommend her enough.

My name is Chelsea (she/her), and I am a Certified Wedding Planner. With more than 12 years of event planning experience, my goal is to allow you to simply celebrate. Home Town Events was created with the down-to-earth, laid-back, hardworking couples looking to do a bit of DIY in mind.

If you are planning a wedding in Upstate NY, I HIGHLY encourage you to hire Chelsea of Home Town Events. We all hear the stories of how stressful wedding planning can be, especially when you try to tackle it on your own, but with Chelsea by our side we can honestly say our entire wedding planning process went smoothly and was actually fun! Chelsea's experience, can-do attitude, creativity and organization skills were fundamental in planning the wedding of our dreams. From crafting a tailored timeline, coordinating directly with our vendors, running our rehearsal, decorating the reception to meet our vision, and caring for all of the other small details that come together to make the day whole - Chelsea is the best person for the job. We would have been lost without her both on the wedding day and in the months leading up to the wedding. Chelsea is incredible, not just in her talents but also in her character. In addition to the planning, coordinating, and decorating, Chelsea also checked in with my husband and I throughout the day - offering advice when needed, a joke when the humidity was starting to get to us, and even helped to clean my dress when wine was spilled. There is no one better to have in your corner on the day of your wedding - she'll have your back no matter what! After our wedding, my husband and I reflected on our wedding and the entire process. We both agreed that hiring Chelsea was the best decision we made. We are forever grateful, so thank you Chelsea!

Hi! I'm Courtney -- the founder and lead planner of Crown Coordination. You could say I'm your not-so-average pineapple obsessed, wine loving, adventure seeking chaos coordinator. When I say that I literally get married for a living and absolutely love it -- I mean it!

We connected 4.5 months out from our wedding - after our original venue fell through and we had to find a new one - Courtney showed up eager, confident, excited and supportive. It was important for her to build a friendship first, learn about us then dive into everything that we needed and THEN some. Her experience within the event and wedding planning industry shows immediately - her connections to vendors, advice, ideas and knowledge of how a successful day looks is a huge part of what makes her team so powerful - not to mention the extremely bubbly, funny and positive energy she brings to every conversation and meeting. To top it all off, the morning and afternoon of our wedding day was a straight monsoon - Courtney and her team did not blink, jumped into GO mode and turned our day, venue, timeline and energy around flawlessly. Crown Coordination are the people you want by your side for anything that could unexpectedly pop up! We will always be thankful for their guidance, support and incredible partnership. This is your sign to call Crown Coordination ASAP!

I went with Prestige Planning for my wedding planner because of the ease of use. I met with my certified wedding planner before I booked and she was amazing and explained the whole process. I knew I could plan my own wedding but I’m not a pro at all so I knew I would need a lot of help. I didn’t want to spend the money on a full wedding planner so going this route was absolutely perfect. They were with me every step of the way. I especially liked the SOS calls they give because I needed them to assist with a vendor I was having an issue with. I knew I was going to need help with logistics and stuff on the actual day of my wedding because I wouldn’t have time to do so, so I added the coordination add on to my package. So I got my wedding planned with major help from an actual certified planner and coordination for my wedding day for less than others are charging for just coordination. Just go for it. You will not be disappointed at all! They really went above and beyond and did more for me than what they had outlined they would do. I got more than my money worth.

I’m here to narrow down all of the options & help articulate all the ideas that have been swirling around your head in a coherent manner.

In all things was super to work with! My husband & I had our vendors & the venue all picked out so we went with the 60 day/day of coordination package. They were so great to work with! From creating our timeline, personally reaching out to vendors to coordinate said timeline, helping us with set up & take down the night of…everything was great! They were there for every thing we’d requested assistance with & were my extra hands on our wedding day. Super helpful, friendly & professional. I definitely recommend working with In All Things!

We Do Events - Scranton 

5.0

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Ithaca, NY

Based in the Pocono Mountains, We Do Events offers custom wedding planning in the Hudson Valley, Poconos, and Catskills. Wherever you dream of saying “I do,” we’ll make sure your event is not just picturesque, it’s planned — and pulled off — to perfection. When our founder, Jilian Becker, was planning her own destination wedding in the Poconos back in 2016, she noticed a gap in the wedding industry in this pocket of the northeast. So, she decided to fill it. Now a top-rated, award-winning company, We Do Events serves couples in the Hudson Valley, Catskills, and Poconos region. We’re like the wedding guide we wish we’d had — and now you do.

As a self-proclaimed "type A" bride, I was more than a little worried about handing over the responsibility of our wedding to a stranger. My now husband and I had a very specific, nontraditional vision for our big day and we happened to pick a "venue" that was brand new to hosting large events (a brand new brewery in upstate New York). Jilian was immediately up to the task, never once questioning our plans and supporting us along the way to get everything across the line. Having someone in our corner who understood the vibe we were going for while also offering suggestions based on her personal experience made her our perfect planner. Very few other planners take over the vendor communication as far out as We Do Events which was a huge selling point for us and was worth every penny. By the time the wedding day came around Jilian was well-prepared as were all of our vendors thanks to her communication. I truly did not lift a finger all day. We can't thank We Do Events and Jilian enough. Book with confidence!

Team Yellow Rose truly brought our vision to life. From our initial consultation, I knew that Isabel and I were on the same page. Isabel was creative with different ways to maintain our budget. She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any. Though we did not meet in person often, she was always a quick text or call away which we really valued. I can't thank this team enough for making our dream wedding a reality.

A million thanks to DeAnne & Sarah for making our wedding a fun and relatively seamless experience. DeAnne swooped into our planning with less than 6 months to our wedding date. We thought we just needed a day of planner, but DeAnne helped us see the light! She provided us with the structure we desperately needed to make our day special, cohesive and intentional. DeAnne worked with our vision and the folks we had already hired, while bringing in the best of her contacts. Plus, Sarah was the most amazing, energetic and peppy day of coordinator. Thank you both!!! I would 100% with no reservations recommend working with Dear September for your wedding!

I have been using Alexandra for many years as my photographer for my children’s birthday parties and family photos a few years ago she expanded and opened up her own business for event and wedding decor, and planning and that’s when I knew I needed to have her plan my wedding. She has planned birthday parties for my children in the last two years but this time she left me speechless with my wedding was simply breathtaking and I truly don’t know what I would have done if I did not have her by my side the entire day of my wedding love her and her lovely team

Michelle was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. Coming from Georgia, we decided to elope in Miami on a whim, and Michelle made our dream a reality with ease.

She effortlessly handled every detail, allowing us to simply show up and enjoy the moment. Despite some last-minute travel hiccups causing stress, Michelle's warm welcome and impeccable ceremony turned our vibe around completely.

The organization, the promptness, the expertise she has in all things travel related provides a huge sense of comfort and ease when planning a trip. My husband and I experienced a hiccup during our honeymoon and Meagan leapt into action to assist even with the time change being 5 hours ahead of EST which led to a VERY early morning for her to help troubleshoot. We had a solution by the next day and were situated in a new hotel very quickly all thanks to Meagan. All of the excursions she helped plan for us went incredibly smoothly. I have, and will continue to recommend Meagan to everyone I know!
