Love & Laughter Weddings made our Mexico destination wedding an absolute dream! From the gorgeous beach setup to the stunning floral arrangements, every detail was perfect. Living in NYC had us concerned with finding the perfect planner that could help up execute our dream day but Evelyn and her team were the perfect fit for us and we were always at ease when planning the wedding with them. They really took the time to understand our vision and they curated a wedding experience that was a perfect blend of my husband and I. Evelyn and her team were super friendly and kind and always made us feel like their top priority, taking care of everything so we could just enjoy our day with our family. They helped us find the perfect vendors from an amazing photographer to the most beautiful venue. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful and seamless everything was. If you want a stress-free, unforgettable wedding in Mexico (or anywhere!), you need Love & Laughter Weddings!

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

When you think of your wedding, all you can hope for is nothing will go wrong, and if it does, it will be small. When you hire Brooklyn from Brooklyn Rain brides, you can rest assured that your day will be utter perfection. throughout the wedding planning process, Brooklyn was always there for me to reach out to and ask questions and give her professional suggestions. She is beyond wise for her years and knows everything a bride could ask in hand already. Even with me being in the industry Brooklyn would ask me questions leading up to the big day I didn't even know I had, she made sure I knew when and how to get my marriage license and took care of sending it back to the clerk for us. She handled getting the rings to the correct bridal party members and made sure to grab our vow books before the ceremony so we didn't have to remember them. My guests came to me after the ceremony and said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and I couldnt agree more it had so much emotion, romance and pure magic sprinkled in and brooklyn was incredibly calm collected and well spoken capturing my husband and Is love story perfectly. I cannot recommend her services enough, not only can she officiate the most romantic ceremony ever She is also an incredible wedding coordinator and will make sure your wedding runs smoothly allowing you to have a stress free wedding day! I literally didn't have to handle a single thing on my wedding day because she was there to handle it all. She made all the difference plus she continued to come and check in in me to see how I was doing throughout the getting ready process and has the calmest nature helping me to feel ready before I walked down the aisle. not only did she handle coordination and officiating the wedding she sprinkled in some extra magic by taking some gorgeous photos throughout the day and sent them to me the morning after the wedding so I would have a little something until my professional photos arrived! I am so utterly grateful to Brooklyn for making the best day of my life utterly perfect. She may be based in Ohio, however, my wedding was in Michigan-she has traveled all over the United States to work weddings and is so worth it, so feel free to inquire about out of state travel. Anyone who is engaged, I can't say it enough, you need a Brooklyn to help guide you in your wedding planning!

Hi, I’m Morgan! Thank you so much for being here. I am the Owner and Lead Planner of MBK Events. Let’s get straight to it - I freaking love love and I love planning. I swear, celebrating love, planning events, and getting to meet new people is my specialty. While planning my own wedding, I realized that so many Brides are not enjoying the process - so, that's where I plan to step in! I officially launched my business in October of 2021 so I can help other brides execute, plan, style and enjoy the wedding planning process. It is the most magical time of your life so lets make sure it feels magical all the way to the big day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Morgan is the only event planner you should consider hiring. You know how everyone tells you to expect at least one thing to go unplanned or wrong at your wedding? This is simply not the case when Morgan is in charge. Not a single thing went wrong at our wedding. The timeline Morgan created was so seamless that we did not get pushed back nor did we lose out on any reception time. During the planning process, she was responsive, clear and professional. I am very indecisive and always needed reassurance or an alternate suggestion for my details and Morgan was always there for me. My husband and I did not worry about a single thing the entire day as Morgan kept everything moving. We were able to be fully present on our wedding day and we are honestly so sad it's over. Do yourself a favor and skip the other interviews. Morgan and MBK Events is your team!

We cannot express enough how grateful we are for Sandra and the Savvy Weddings team. We worked with Sandra for two years, and she made the process so memorable and enjoyable. We still cannot believe that she was able to turn our dreams into such a reality! Every detail was meticulously organized, and Sandra had such a knack for taking our descriptions and giving them life. It was amazing how well she could interpret our vision and make it better, and was amazing about working with the budget we gave her. We really appreciated how open she was to every idea we had, because we know we can get carried away sometimes, but she had no problem matching our energy. We were also so pleased with her ability to find vendors that perfectly matched our style and budget - every interaction on our wedding day was just so wonderful. The day of the wedding was nothing short of magical. I did not think it was possible to be so relaxed on your own wedding day, and I really want to shout out Sandra, Alex, Alex, and Kyle for really making that happen (and anyone else who was there - these are just the people I interacted with directly)! My bridesmaids were so shocked by how smoothly everything went and how relaxed I was, and we were so happy with how everything turned out. Our guests are still complimenting us months later about the execution, vibes, and decor from the wedding. I love telling people how absolutely perfect the day was, and not just “perfect even with imperfections,” but just literally perfect. No notes. We couldn't have asked for a better partner in this journey, and cannot emphasize enough how much we recommend Savvy Weddings to anyone planning their dream wedding! Trusting Sandra is the closest I’ve come to trusting someone with my life (like actually). She will not steer you wrong. Thank you, Sandra, for making our day truly special!

We are delighted to introduce you to our dedicated team led by Grace, our experienced event planner extraordinaire. Grace and her team are passionate about creating memorable events that leave a lasting impression.

Valley Decors provided good communication throughout the planning process, though we felt communication could have been better on the day of the event. However, they still did an excellent job overall. The team at Valley Decors set up the event flawlessly for our 350 guests - everything came out perfect. They have a great team that works well together. The only downside was that they picked up rented items like the table runner and napkins before the night was over, which I didn't appreciate, though I understand they needed to collect plates and glassware. Despite this, Grace and Travis were a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond, even stepping in when one of our other vendors fell short on tables and linens. They provided amazing rentals and were able to quickly deliver extra tables and freshly ironed linens with less than 24 hours notice.

We exist to create the event of your dreams! At Queen's Creative Events, we believe in creating unique moments that leave a lasting impression. What differentiates us from our competitors is that we listen to our clients, creating distinctive events tailored to their specific needs and desires. Our innovative mix of solutions ensures that every detail is covered.

Queen is a fantastic, supportive, and flexible planner. The month-to-day-of coordination package was perfect for us as our venue provided some coordination/planning as well. Queen took a lot of the day-of pressure away, allowing us the freedom to enjoy the day stress free. Any surprises or unanswered questions that popped up were quickly dealt with, and she made sure everything was in place beforehand so we didn't need to worry about anything else on the big day. She also made planning and coordinating things outside of what our venue provided easy and painless. Both on the day of the wedding and in the time leading up to it, she was responsive and flexible. Along with our regular planned calls, she was also quick to reply to our texts for wedding recommendations and advice. We would highly recommend Queen to anyone who wants the peace of mind to know that the day of their wedding will go smoothly and worry-free.

Working with the Oso team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We actually hired them about 2 years in advance, so we got to work with them for a super long time! One of the biggest reasons that we wanted to hire Oso specifically was because of their decor inventory, which was 100% available to use at no additional cost with their full wedding planning package. Weddings can be extremely wasteful in terms of decor, so it was nice to be able to consciously be a bit more sustainable! We honestly ended up hiring Oso for so many other services as well — Michelle did an amazing job with our signage, they also have a great photobooth package, and Michelle’s sister owns Bobaholics so we were able to get a discounted rate for a boba bar! It really felt like a one-stop shop :) Michelle, Gen, Raymundo, and Gennie were all so helpful in coordinating with vendors and giving us wedding advice/guidance - working with them also gave us confidence that we weren’t missing any important steps or details of wedding planning. They were also available by text/email anytime, and they always responded extremely quickly, which I so appreciated! Talking to them felt more like talking to friends who were super passionate about wedding planning! On the actual day of the wedding, my husband and I felt so stress-free because of Oso - they seamlessly guided everyone to stay on schedule, had walkie talkies to communicate with each other, and constantly asked us if we needed any food/water/etc. They took care of passing out our vendor tips, and set up all of our decor with time to spare! When people ask us for wedding planning advice, we always say that hiring a planner was the best decision we made - specifically Oso Events! They are truly the best at what they do :) We could not be more grateful to them!

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.

Michele was our full wedding planner. Our wedding went perfect without a single hitch and it was all thanks to Michele. We had the caterer for our rehearsal dinner drop out one week before the event and Michele found us a replacement within an hour; and the replacement caterer was a slam dunk. Everyone loved the food. On the day of the wedding and rehearsal dinner Michele and Dan did everything. And I mean everything. She set up tables, positioned flowers and welcome signs and seating charts. She ironed over disagreements with vendors and never once did we have to lift a finger. It is a common saying that the bride and groom never enjoy their own wedding but we thoroughly had a blast at ours thanks to Michele. She is forever our go-to recommendation to all our friends getting married. If she has availability to plan your wedding, book her.

Hello 💫 I wanted to a minute to introduce myself, My name is Lisa, I’m a wife & mama, and I’ve finally decided to take a passion of mine & turn it into a career. For 10 years coordinating events had been a hobby, and I’ve had the honor of being part of so many beautiful days. Now, I can’t wait to be part of YOUR most important days 🤍 We take care of your small details so you can enjoy your big day!

Events by Lisa was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Her communication was 10/10 - Lisa was so easy to reach out to and the connection was definitely there. The quality of their work and value was unmatched, as Lisa went above and beyond. She thought everything through and even when little things went wrong, she took care of them so quickly without worrying me or anyone else. For example, Lisa made sure to call all the vendors ahead of time to confirm, and turns out one vendor had the dates mixed up, but she got that figured out on the wedding day without even telling us so we wouldn't worry. She also had extra makeup on hand which was so helpful for touch-ups throughout the day. I think everyone needs to invest in a day-of coordinator, and Lisa was such a life-saver - I can't imagine how bumpy our day would have been if she wasn't there!

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali. She made all the difference for us, and I’ll forever be grateful for her dedication, expertise, and calm presence. She is an absolute gem!

We cannot recommend Jackie enough! Jackie was essential in our wedding planning and coordination. She was extremely responsive, organized and proactive. If you are planning your first (and hopefully last!) wedding, go with Jackie. She has the experience, knows what she is talking about, has a great vendor list, knows what to expect and most importantly is an excellent problem solver. I felt like we were in good hands the entire time. She guided myself and my partner though logistics for the wedding day and then on the wedding day, she was proactive, did an excellent job wrangling our guests and bridal party. When the weather didn't cooperate, she took charge and helped keep things moving smoothly for us and our guests. Jackie also had excellent vendor recommendations, many of which we ended up going well and we are so happy we did. As a gay couple, it was also really important for us to partner with someone that was excited about planning a gay wedding and Jackie was not only enthusiastic but understood our vision and contributed great ideas. Our wedding reception venue was pretty unique and Jackie didn't bat an eye, she understood our vision perfectly and embraced it. I could do on, but I hope you read this and contact Jackie yourself!!

Our wedding is still a couple of months away (9/23/23) but we have worked alongside Taylor for the past year. When I say that hiring Taylor as our wedding planner was the second best thing we did (other than finding each other of course!) I do not mean that lightly. She has been there for every step of the way and has given her professional opinion and insight for every decision we made. She communicated to each vendor on my behalf, including the vendors that weren’t so easy to get ahold of and the hard stuff like cancelling vendors (and a wedding dress that I was pushed into) that over time I changed my mind about. She has supported us and taken so much stress off my plate as well as kept us focused so nothing was forgotten. She provided task lists that helped us get through our seating chart, song list and photography shot list with ease. She also had great recommendations for other vendors, such as our dj, that we cannot wait to see in action. I always feel heard and seen, and like this wedding will truly come to life because she understands my vision and will go above and beyond to make it happen. She has fought for us every step of the way when needed, and always put our vision first. She exceeded every hope I had when looking for a wedding coordinator and has become one of our friends in the process! Our weekly zoom meetings, the venue tour, room block scouting, tasting appointment and design outings usually ran over because we would stand in the parking lot and talk for an extra hour because she truly cared about what was going on in my life and my mental health during this stressful time and vice versa. I’m almost sad that our wedding is nearly here because I won’t see her as often! I feel like I hired a wedding coordinator but instead got a best friend that truly gave her all to my decisions (and indecisions) towards my wedding day. I am so excited to see it all come together and am so grateful I found Taylor so I was able to really enjoy this process instead of being stressed about every little thing. We have enjoyed planning this wedding alongside her and are so excited our big day is almost here! If you are looking for a planner, she is your girl!

From vendor contracts to decor set-up to keeping the event on schedule, Jennifer handled it all seamlessly. Her services were well worth the value.
