  • Syrie & team - the best planning & design team!

    Syrie was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning! We used Syrie for partial planning & design for our two day multicultural wedding celebration and she was truly amazing. From the first phone call, we connected immediately and I was so impressed with her ability to connect, transparency, and helpfulness before we had even decided to hire her. Once we made the decision to work with Syrie, she sent over a super organized timeline and portal that kept my Type-A self really at ease since I knew that everything had be thought of. Syrie had amazing vendor referrals and created the whole design for both nights of our wedding, and we could not have been happier! Syrie clearly has incredible relationships with vendors, is really organized, and has an awesome team supporting her. She listened to all of our questions, needs, and wants, and made sure that our celebration was above and beyond. The weekend of, she was everywhere at once and her and her team were so helpful to fix any problem that comes up. We could not imagine planning our wedding without Syrie and are so grateful for her work ethic, creativity, and friendship! We highly recommend Syrie to anyone planning a wedding in the Buffalo area or beyond!

  • Intimate Backyard Garden Wedding

    We worked with Syrie and the Social Maven team for our wedding this September and could not be more grateful for the time, care, and thought they put into our event. We worked closely with Syrie for a year and half to plan our wedding in my parents’ backyard. Syrie and her in team, in conjunction with our incredible vendors (all recommendations of Syrie’s) turned our backyard into a stunning and intimate venue for a wedding. We were fully present and able to spend time with our loved ones and each other on the day, all thanks to Syrie. Despite a very rainy morning, Syrie’s team made a beautiful outdoor evening ceremony and cocktail hour possible. Syrie always advocated for us throughout the process, and prioritized the comfort and enjoyment of our guests as well (which was very important to us). The planning process was largely stress-free, enjoyable, and our wedding was even better than we could have imagined. Rest assured that Syrie, her team, and the vendors she recommends will make your event memorable, personable, and beautiful down to every last detail. THANK YOU Syrie and the Social Maven team.

  • Exceptional Planning Experience w/Syrie

    My partner and I began our journey with Syrie as our wedding planner back in the fall of 2020, and we can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. We started with a selected venue but little else. Syrie, with her organized approach and expertise, transformed our vague ideas into a stunning wedding reality. She took our abstract descriptions and envisioned a day that was far beyond what we thought we wanted – it was what we dreamed of. Despite our extended planning cycle, Syrie was a constant presence, always checking in to ensure that our preparations were on track. As a couple living in New York City, we appreciated having local "boots on the ground" throughout the planning process. Her deep connections within the Buffalo wedding industry became priceless when our original our venue, Hotel Henry, unexpectedly shut down. Syrie saw the writing on the wall weeks before their fall and organized tours of alternative venues – a task outside our agreed-upon package. We ended up choosing The Admiral Room, a venue we hadn't initially considered, but it turned out to be a gem. Its grandeur resonated with us perfectly – yet another testament to Syrie's understanding of our tastes and preferences. Syrie's expertise also shone when it came to vendor selection. She provided a plethora of options for each service, letting us evaluate different styles and approaches. Each vendor we chose delivered impeccable service, with a special shout-out to Tori Vee who created an extraordinary musical ambiance. Syrie is an impressive organizational powerhouse. Having her as our planner allowed us to focus on savoring every moment of our special day. Her efficient staff resolved a minor hiccup with a vendor within half an hour – we barely noticed it had happened. Our experience with Syrie was nothing short of magnificent. She guided us through a daunting process with grace, expertise, and foresight. Syrie not only saved us from potential disaster but helped create a day that was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We enthusiastically recommend Syrie.
