Hiring elexis was the best decision we made. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Elexis and I cannot imagine what our wedding would have been without her. She knew our venue better than anyone and worked incredibly hard to give us the most amazing wedding. Elexis goes above and beyond in every single way, whether it be driving to another state to try a baker or finding the perfect cake stand on etsy or literally cleaning the bridal suite while the bride and groom dance...she's a magic making machine and truly cares about her clients and the events she plans. We began planning with Elexis at the start of covid for a June 2021 wedding at the Lake Placid Lodge. Elexis helped us navigate many, many issues with the venue and all of the constantly changing NYS covid regulations. Every single tiny detail was thought of; details that we never, ever would have thought of on our own. Elexis helped us with everything down to flatware, linens, the hunt for perfect chargers, and flowers and candles that I knew nothing about. She came up with multiple floor plans that would optimize the space and guest experience, she found us transportation for our welcome party, helped with rehearsal dinner and sunday brunch planning, gave us welcome bag ideas, and recommendations for the best vendors the area had. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to book amazing vendors with time to spare and did not have to book any second choices. The timeline she provides is excellent and will keep you on track to have the best wedding ever. Elexis works tirelessly for her clients throughout the planning process and throughout the event as well. It was raining on our wedding day (plan A was outdoor ceremony) and Elexis came to me and told me that the venue was adamant about setting up our ceremony indoors, and asked if I still wanted to try for an outdoor ceremony. I told her I did, and about five minutes later I saw the chairs being set up on the lawn. Elexis was there with us late into the night/early into the morning making sure everything was going off perfectly and getting things ready for our brunch the following day. She even cleaned up our bridal suite and made sure we had extra wedding cake slices in our mini fridge. Long story short: If anything went wrong on our wedding day, I didn't know about it, and our wedding was so beautiful and detailed that it put anything on my pinterest boards to shame. Now that the wedding is over, I truly miss talking to Elexis nearly every day!

We loved working with Allie for our March wedding at the Garden Villa. She was professional, responsive, and very helpful in the planning process (we got a day-of-coordinator package but met with her a couple times beforehand to review details). On the day of, she made sure all decorations and people were where they were supposed to go, and did a great job with keeping some family members (and even us) who lost track of time on schedule. It was a truly beautiful day thanks to her help and we couldn't recommend more.

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

I am focused on Partial, Full time Wedding planning, Elopements and A-la carte. My goal is to help my clients and make sure that their wedding goes by the plan that they created.

Awarded Best of Zola
Annie from Before You Say I Do was an exceptional day-of-coordinator for our special day. Her communication style was frequent, clear, thoughtful, timely, and she was quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. The quality of her work and the value she provided was excellent-- she is hard-working and was incredibly considerate throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond, offering to bring additional decorations and even showing up the day before to assist with our traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony, which was not even on the same day as our official wedding. We had only hired her for her day-of coordination package, but even so, she was a consistent voice and helping hand for us for months leading up to the wedding. I can only imaging if we would have booked her whole wedding planning service, our wedding probably would have somehow been even more perfect than it already was. We are so grateful for her dedication and attention to detail in making our wedding day perfect. I highly recommend booking Annie!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

This is your sign to call Crown Coordination ASAP!

Cathy founded Cathy's Elegant Events in 2010. Although she was born in NYC, her family moved to the Catskill Mountains at a young age, but they maintained a home in Brooklyn. This allowed her to have a unique upbringing in both Upstate New York and Brooklyn, where many of her relatives still reside. Cathy holds a degree in Mathematics and Statistics.

It was so fun getting to spend time with her and getting to know her during this process. Cathy made every little detail of our fairytale wedding come true. She was terrific during the planning process. When I wanted to try to handle projects myself, she stepped back and let me handle them, but was always there if I needed advice or help with anything. When I needed her to be more involved and hands on, I felt completely confident and comfortable letting her take things in the direction that she felt was best. She was always quick to answer emails and talk on the phone to hash out big picture items or last minute details. The week leading up to the wedding Cathy was AMAZING. We spent almost 2 hours on the phone making sure every last detail was taken care of and exactly the way I envisioned it. She ran our ceremony in the pouring rain and was always cheerful and positive, she was there for me for moral support all afternoon while I was getting ready, she helped setup the barn and ceremony beautifully and made sure every detail was in order. During the ceremony and reception, she made sure that my husband and I were taken care of the entire evening. Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish and Cathy's expertise, guidance and help played such a huge part in the success of our wedding day. Thank you Cathy!! Tim and I are so grateful for all the hardwork and love you put into making our day great.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I truly thought that we could handle the wedding planning ourselves, but as we got to the final stretch, we realized we needed some help. You will see this for all of the reviews for Musa, and I am here to shout it from the rooftops - our wedding could not have happened without the help of Andi, Jen and the whole Musa team. We hired them for the final three months of the wedding and it was the best decision we made in that stage of the process. In addition to handling all vendor communication, timeline design and execution and day-of coordination, Andi made herself available for any/all questions, calls, and sounding board needs and moments with me, my husband and my mom. She brought to the process immense patience, thoughtfulness, kindness, and professionalism. Day-of, her work and the work of her co-team member, Jen, allowed all of us to really just take in the day and stay as present and grounded as possible. At one point, me and my bridal party went to get into our car to go the venue, and the car didn't start. Like a superhero, Jen pulled up into the driveway at that exact moment, and she brought us all up to the venue. Above and beyond the call of duty. This duo was a gift to my day, and I will forever be grateful for their talent and their support.

The best decision I made when planning our wedding was hiring Menaza, AKA ‘Superwoman’!!! My husband and I are an international couple that were looking to get married in New York and therefore needed to hire someone to assist us. Menaza’s resume and brochure was impressive! But when I spoke to her personally, we hit it off right away and hiring her was a no brainer! She was the calm I needed for my Type C/A personality! Menaza wore a million hats to help us pull off the wedding of our dreams! She handled all of the vendor bookings, contracts, logistics, and organizing of timelines. She even provided bonus services of putting together all of our florals! She created our bouquets, boutonnieres, table centre pieces and provided all the little details, like our card box, table seating mirror, welcome sign and offered to create and print our stationary. She brainstormed with us on concepts, helped us create a wedding & bar logo and accompanied us to venue visits, during our several visits to New York. Even when I had issues ordering items online, she stepped up and ordered them on my behalf! She advised on the tipping culture of the US, assisted with our marriage licence & officiant application and was open and honest about what sort of costs we should expect for certain items. Menaza researched and secured some amazing vendors for us and ensured that on our wedding day we were taken care of! (IE, I expressed to her that I really wanted sushi during cocktail hour... and while I was taking family photos she showed up with two plates stacked full of sushi with a BIG SMILE on her face! Lol) I was SOOOOO HAPPY!! One thing that stood out about Menaza over other planners we interviewed was that she was always available, we weren’t limited to a number of phone calls & contact times. I messaged her with every thought I had and within a reasonable amount of time she responded. We are still getting rave reviews on how amazing our wedding was and it would not have been possible without her. We had many family members and guests that were asking to meet her as they were so impressed!! Menaza went above and beyond to be there for us, even as she celebrated her own life’s blessings, we are forever grateful for her! HIRE HER! You won’t regret it!

Rachael and I clicked from the second we got on the phone. I knew right away she was going to help make this a stress-free process, and that she did. We worked with Rachael for our October 2023 wedding at The Otesaga Resort Hotel in Cooperstown, New York. I couldn't have been more appreciative for her opinions, advise, and organization. Rachael helped me to create my vision for our wedding and executed it flawlessly. She was easy to communicate with and I felt like I could be honest and myself. Rachael had total control over all the vendors we utilized (even the last-minute additions) while also being there for me 24/7. Throughout the wedding planning process, she was the best friend I never knew I needed. Rachael is professional, calm, but also makes you feel like family. She is so passionate about what she does and you can tell from the minute you meet her. Our guests were also obsessed with her - She's an amazing people-person and someone you want by your side. My only regret was not finding her sooner. Rachael is your go-to wedding planner and coordinator.

My husband and I knew we wanted a small wedding and did not want to takeore than 10 months to plan. Ingrid and Gloria were able to find amazing vendors for us that met our vision, fit our budget, and even schedule meetings with them. Our day was perfect.

We were told that hiring a planner for a wedding of our size was almost necessary, and thank God we did because we couldn’t have pulled off the incredible day we had without Brittany. After interviewing countless planners we seemed like we were getting nowhere, that is, until we had our first conversation with her. After hanging up the phone we knew she was the one for us. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process, she constantly made herself available for us, her style matched ours perfectly, and I’m glad to say we gained a friend out of this. She reviewed and negotiated contracts, helped source key vendors, and went to bat for us every step of the way. It’s inevitable when planning a wedding to encounter obstacles and Brittany was ahead and on top of all of it. She shielded us from behind-the-scenes drama and went out of the way to make sure we had the best day of our lives. Everything went so smoothly. We were not an easy couple to manage, mostly because we were indecisive and weren’t able to communicate our vision, but that didn’t faze nor prevent her from pulling off a gorgeous day. Our guests raved about how beautiful the set-up was – from the tent, the décor and the million details that elevated the aesthetics, we were taken aback by how she was able to pull everything together to create such an amazing end-product. We couldn’t have done it without her, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone in the beginning phases of finding a planner.

unKAGed events

While planning events as a side hustle for over a decade, I have also been a nonprofit event coordinator, farmer, and music festival planner. My background gives me a unique perspective on each wedding I plan. Sustainability, Inclusivity and Couple Advocacy are extremely important to me. Some fun facts: Leo with Taurus Moon and Libra Rising, ENFP, a Peacemaker, and I love a good personality quiz. I'm a sucker for fashion, and like to joke that ! can smell a good consignment/vintage shop. I had a wedding Pinterest 8 years before I even met my husband, and I will do anything in my power to give you the wedding you want.

I don’t think I can truly explain or fit into a review how amazing Kris with unKAGed events is! We hired Kris because this was a destination wedding for us and we needed help with locating vendors and wanted to feel like we had someone that we could work with in the area that was familiar with the industry and able to coordinate day of for us. I had my initial call with Kris and immediately felt comfortable and listened to with any questions or concerns I had with planning. She offered us different vendors for catering, rentals, dj and cake. She setup up tastings and meetings with all vendors making sure we felt comfortable and confident with every vendor we went with. Kris went above and beyond being CCd on every email and on every call. She provided quick and accurate information throughout the planning process. We ran into issues with our venue along the way and Kris was right there beside us helping us and working through it. What can feel like the chaos of wedding planning we knew we could trust her and rely on her. When it came to day of as a bride it’s hard to feel like you don’t have full control over your day. However trusting Kris after working with her leading up to the big day I knew she was going to do all she could to bring my vision to life and make the best decisions for our wedding. She did just that! I can’t put into words how much she did for us - from all the work leading up, rehearsal, setting up ceremony site, setting up cocktail hour, setting up the reception tables and seating chart and then breaking it all down after - she truly does it all!! I knew I was hiring someone to help us along the way and for the day of our wedding what I didn’t know is I was hiring someone who would care about us the way she did.
