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!

Bethany & her team are absolutely fantastic to work with! As a DJ who's been apart of over 300 weddings, Bethany's team by far stood out as one of the most dedicated and personable teams we've ever met. It truly puts us at ease knowing that the couple/client has hired an experienced, passionate event coordinator and Bethany showed to be exactly that. She was flexible with timeline details, communicating with vendors and wedding party members to create smooth transitions between events, and even handled several last minute adjustments with ease.

We got married earlier this month and had the best experience working with Confetti Event Planning. Liz is an absolute dream to work with. She is organized, helpful, and extremely knowledgable about the wedding industry. I was originally going to go without a planner or day-of coordinator and ultimately decided to use Confetti Event Planning for day-of coordination (which turned out to be way more than just day-of assistance). She offers monthly meetings to review all of the details and creates a perfect timeline for the day. There were many things I hadn't even thought of that Liz brought up and helped us work through and plan. Our wedding day would not have gone nearly as smooth if it were not for Liz. She took a TON of stress off of us and allowed us to relax day of. I cannot recommend working with her enough!!

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on.

"I love getting to know my clients and enjoy becoming their "New Best Friend" prior to the event.". Her talent in design, organization, and management makes any experience working with her effortless. She makes you feel so comfortable & give you the confidence it will be an amazing event.

Eileen was amazing as our wedding planner / month-of coordinator. Both my husband and I were SO glad we hired her. Eileen helped us make so many decisions during the planning process that led to an extremely smooth wedding day - from where the bar was located to how we processed down the aisle, from whether to do cake or a dessert bar, to when champagne was poured - she really nailed it. She also worked with all of our vendors to coordinate setup and was onsite to help make sure everything was set up correctly & as planned. Everyone jokes that something *always* goes wrong on your wedding day, no matter how much you plan, but really we had nothing go wrong thanks to Eileen! She made our day stress-free! It's also important to call out that our venue wedding coordinator quit a couple of weeks before our wedding, and Eileen stepped up and swooped in to make sure our new point of contact at the venue was fully up-to-speed. Thank god for Eileen! I highly recommend her. And if you're on the fence about needing a wedding coordinator -- just take the leap! SO SO worth it.

DM Events planned our 200-person black tie wedding at Brooklyn Botanic Garden this fall. From the moment I first spoke to Dawn Goldsmith, I felt at ease. She is a true visionary and a powerhouse. Dawn kept not just me, but my husband, our families and our budget(!!), on track from our very first phone call to the end of the wedding night. She and her team are kind, thoughtful, sensitive to their clients’ preferences, and extremely responsive. Putting aside all of the variable twists and turns that came with the era of COVID-weddings (which were navigated with ease), Dawn designed and planned an absolutely picture perfect event that exceeded all expectations. She has impeccable taste and a way of articulating and evolving my vision better than I could. Her design-minded approach is something that was really important to me when selecting a planner – no detail too small! Regarding the day of, Dawn’s team is a well-oiled machine. If there were any hiccups (there weren’t), neither I nor my guests would have been any the wiser. It was smooth sailing.

Literally, the perfect day. Dawn Goldsmith is a total pro and a blessing to work with.

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!!

If I could give Meagan and Escape Key Travel Co 1000 stars, I would. Meagan planned our honeymoon to Italy which couldn’t have been any better. From the first call to understand our expectations and ideas until the last day of our honeymoon Meagan was always on our side and supported us in the best way possible. Meagan handled all our requests, including changes to the schedule, and was always available to answer our questions. Ashley a bonus, Meagan provides an app on our phone which included our itinerary, documents, and all travel information, so we didn’t have to worry about forgetting details or documents. Meagan’s knowledge about our dream destination was invaluable to get us the best experience, including great restaurants suggestions! As foodies and art lovers Meagan tailored a beautiful 14 day honeymoon including stays Rome, Florence and Naples. The trip was a perfect mix of activity and leisure time, and of course lots of time to enjoy the great Italian food and drinks. As our highlight we will never forget our visit to the Uffizi Galleries and the best steak Fiorentina during our time in Florence. Meagan’s positive attitude and experience with travelling Europe got is even more exciting about our honeymoon than we already were! We can highly recommend to work with Meagan and Escape Key Travel Co! You will love the trip she’s going to plan for you!
