We really enjoyed working with Cassidy as our month-of coordinator--she was prompt in all communication, extremely organized, and executed flawlessly. She took ample time to understand our vision, make tweaks to the schedule, and help us with decor. We also hired her floral company, Rita's Roses, as our florist, and the entire process was extremely streamlined.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Hannah and her AMAZING team was hands down the best decision I made as a bride! From Day 1, Hannah was caring, responsive, personable and VERY organized! She was an invaluable resource to me and my fiancé throughout the entire planning process. But, the month leading up to the Big Day, I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. She communicated exceptionally well with all my vendors and created/distributed a timeline that made the Day Of flow seamlessly! She sent me reminders, kept me on task, alleviated my stress, all while helping me remember the reason we were doing this in the first place {all bc two people fell in love}! Hannah was my ROCK the entire wedding day. In the midst of so many emotions and people, whenever I would see her, I felt a sense of ease. Because she truly had EVERYTHING under control. Hannah and her team provided constant support. They guided me and the bridal party whenever we needed direction (and we needed a lot!) and lovingly advised me when I just couldn’t bear to make another decision. There was absolutely nothing that they weren’t willing to do; they made sure I didn’t get wet when the skies opened up as soon as we got to the church and even bustled my wedding gown at the reception!! I can’t say enough good things about this group. Hannah is extraordinary at what she does. Everyone deserves to have the magical day that I did, and it absolutely wouldn’t have been possible had it not been for her. I wish I could scream from the rooftops how grateful I am. So, do yourself a favor and call them!! They are as good as it gets. 3

We took on a lot of planning ourselves, and hired Rina to be our day of coordinator--or really month of coordinator--and out of all of our planning decisions, hiring Rina was one of the best decisions we made. Ahead of our first call, we sent a long document outlining the ideas we had--which she looked through and gave us useful feedback on as we considered what support we needed most. We had some unique ideas for how to do things our own way--and it was also clear from our conversation, that while Rina knows how to do a "textbook" wedding--she also knows how to listen to clients to help them make their unique vision a reality, even if that requires some creative thinking, crafting, or problem solving. When we did our venue walkthrough a month before the event, we sent Rina another long document, floorplan, and schedule the day before--and she once again arrived familiar with all of it. She had crucial suggestions, important questions we hadn't thought of, and proved again she was the right person to help us get prepared for the big day. That pattern repeated once more at rehearsal which was very efficient! The day of our wedding, Rina was punctual, professional, and in expert control running the show we had put together. She had already connected with all of our vendors, reviewed all the decorations we designed and how they set up, and was fully familiar with the timeline. When the inevitable surprises popped up, she was quick to roll with the punches--in a way that kept our plans on track! The entire event was not just beautiful, unique, and exactly the vibe we had envisioned--but it was also EXACTLY ON SCHEDULE, from set up to the paper lantern send off at the end! We are thoroughly impressed, and can't recommend Rina highly enough! She was our not so secret weapon. Let her be yours too! And make no mistake, while we had Rina as our month-of-coordinator--we would have absolutely hired Rina to take on the entire thing if we hadn't enjoyed planning so much (and even then, we couldn't have finished the plans without her input!). I will also say, having planned so much ourselves, it really made it very personal to us that the schedule we made, the decorations we crafted, and the timeline we envisioned were faithfully executed. It was so personal, that I thought it would be hard to hand off our cherished plan to someone else. Who could know it as well as us or care as much? But every conversation with Rina made letting go easy, because it was so clear she was listening to us, and understanding us. There is no one else we would've trusted with our plan except Rina.

When I began my business over 20 years ago, I made a conscious decision to stand apart from other planners. I wanted to be available, tuned in and ready for anything. I bring a unique skillset, a dedication and a very personal approach to my business. I do not offer packages, instead giving to each couple whatever they need from me- my time, my expertise, my network. Your wedding is my top priority! And, I resolve to make every wedding a smashing success. With a 30+ year background in hospitality and events, you won't find a planner with more knowledge or experience. I have traveled the East Coast making magic- Let's Make Yours!

Working with Angel of Hearts Weddings and Events was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Wendy was prompt, thorough, and incredibly approachable throughout the entire planning process. Her excellent attention to detail ensured that everything was exactly as we envisioned it, and even better. Wendy set up our huge seating chart display and coordinated effortlessly with all of our vendors. She was so friendly, thoughtful, and helpful in every way - even stepping in to bustle my dress and find a Tide pen when I needed it! Wendy's responsiveness and support made the wedding planning experience so easy and stress-free. I cannot recommend Angel of Hearts Weddings and Events enough.

We hired Modern Social for our wedding reception and it was the best decision ever. We had so much fun and did not have to worry about anything because they had it handled. Our ceremony was at a church about 30 minutes away, and Modern Social was at the reception venue handling everything and getting it all taken care of. They also took my vision for decor and made it an even more beautiful reality than I could’ve ever dreamed. You won’t regret hiring them for any amount of wedding planning.

We booked Erin and her team with the Just the Deets package. This is her "lowest" level of service despite the thorough and consistent support she provided throughout the entire planning process. Erin is organized, readily available, and is a constant bright spot in wedding planning! She was a fantastic resource to bounce ideas off, ask questions, and make sure we were on track throughout our planning. She is a wealth of knowledge- especially if you are getting married at The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion, a venue she is at frequently and knows like the back of her hand! Erin will tell you her opinion when asked, but is always ready to jump in 110% no matter what you choose and make it happen (Sorry for making you nervous when we gave our crazy pup our actual rings!!!). She is ready to play the "bad guy" when you need a small army, and can fluently switch to whatever language groomsmen speak to wrangle them quickly for rehearsal. Knowing Erin and her team had the day HANDLED, I walked into my wedding day stress-free knowing that there was nothing I needed to do or worry about. I never would have guessed that I would have described myself as a calm bride the day of my wedding, but Erin made it easy. I was able to truly enjoy the day because of Erin, and I wouldn't trade that confidence or peace of mind for anything! If you're still looking around or debating whether or not to book with Ryan Planning Plus, do future you a favor and just book with them now! Unless you don't like feeling like a VIP client, would prefer to worry on your wedding day, or simply like to make bad choices... then sure, book elsewhere ;) Otherwise, if you want to have the smoothest wedding experience possible, book with Erin!!!

Omg, where do I even start…I had the absolute pleasure of having Noelle from Laellekae as my coordinator for my recently passed wedding and she made all the difference. I used day of coordination services but it felt like so much more! Noelle was on top of everyone and everything from the moment we had our first meeting u til the day of my wedding. She was so attentive and I felt like I was literally her only priority when I spoke to her. My husband raves about her as well, she kept me calm through all of the weddings ups and downs. Not once did I ever really feel like a situation didn’t have a solution because she just figured it out! She is definitely money well spent because you don’t just feel like a client with her or her team. The day of my wedding we also had Prima on board who was also extremely attentive. Like I told her and I’ll tell you as well every Bride needs a Noelle, this Noelle!

Shaymah was extremely organized with a very chaotic wedding - chaos due to family drama, etc. While the chaos was stressful, Shaymah was very detailed and thorough with all of the wedding planning, including designing florals and signs completely on her own (great designer too!), and including last minute issues with guest count, etc. She's very sweet, kind and helpful and great to work with! I would recommend her for any type of wedding event. She was also very professional through all of the chaos and made sure that the event went well!
