Awarded Best of Zola
We’re based in Boston and planned our Rochester wedding from the distance, so having someone local was essential — and Jade was everything we needed and more! As someone who’s very organized, I mainly wanted a planner who could take the stress off on the big day. Jade went above and beyond to make sure that happened. She was kind, patient, and incredibly helpful — especially when I was indecisive or overwhelmed. She guided us through timeline decisions, managed last-minute changes, and always stayed calm and reassuring. She also helped us book amazing vendors — including our florist, DJ, and transportation — and was super mindful of our budget. She even included thoughtful touches like sparklers and signs without extra charges. On the wedding day, she quietly handled everything, even helping my sister-in-law when she wasn’t feeling well. Her presence was steady, warm, and exactly what we needed. We’re so grateful for Jade and would absolutely recommend her to anyone — especially if you’re planning from afar or want someone who truly cares about making your day feel special.

Julianna Gottcent Events 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $1,499
  • Serves Amherst, NY

Born and raised on Long Island, I was immersed early in the world of high-end events and weddings, sparking a lifelong passion for hospitality. I began my career working private events from NYC to the Hamptons, gaining hands-on experience wherever I could. After moving to Buffalo in 2020, my career only grew—working alongside talented planners and coordinating countless weddings. Today, I serve as a Banquet Coordinator at a private social club while continuing to take on private clients, bringing experience, creativity, and heart to every event I touch.

Working with Julianna was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding journey. From the very first conversation, it was clear that she brings detailed experience, expertise, organization, creativity, and genuine organization to our special day. Julianna took the time to understand our vision, priorities, and personalities and somehow elevated everything beyond what we imagined. Every detail, from timelines to vendor coordination, to décor styling, was handled with complete professionalism and confidence. We felt supported and truly taken care of. Looking back, I can't imagine how all our important details would have been executed without her. Julianna helped us elevate our vision with such important adders we didn't think about, like signage in certain areas, adding florals and drapery in our tent, and just the simple touches that only come with the eye of a trained expert. We had a handful of meetings to discuss our reception timeline from beginning to end, so everything was checked off our must have list. Julianna even helped us with the food and arrangements for our getting ready areas the morning of. On the wedding day, Julianna was an absolute superstar. Everything ran seamlessly and effortlessly because of the behind the scenes orchestrating with precision and alignment with vendors and staff at the venue. We were able to be fully present and enjoy our day knowing we were in the best hands. We are endlessly grateful for her dedication, warm energy, and incredible talent. If you’re considering hiring a wedding planner, you’ll be in the best hands with Julianna. Julianna doesn’t just plan weddings, she creates the most unforgettable experience all your guests will talk about for months after.

Vows by Lex was amazing! She made sure communication was flowing, especially the weeks leading up to the wedding! As I was planning my wedding she answered my questions (dumb or not lol). The ceremony and reception ran so smoothly, not one thing was out of place, so much so that we were 8 minutes ahead of schedule the whole day. Very professional but also so kind and considerate. I highly recommend!

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.

All couples need Dana and her team with Thyme & Details for their big day. We hired Dana as a day of coordinator but she is so much more than that. She went to countless vendor meeting and kept track of all of my overly detailed instructions to make sure each piece of our day (timeline, vendor contracts, etc) worked with those details. When the venue dropped the ball, others got details wrong, or vendors fell through, Dana was always a step ahead and came up with even better solutions than our original plans. Dana really knows the ins and outs of organizing a wedding, is in tune with the Columbus wedding scene, and has incredibly valuable connections. Overall we were blown away by Dana and her team’s professionalism and dedication to our wedding. Dana’s communications were always prompt, detailed, and thorough every step of the way, making the planning process a breeze. She lead our rehearsal too which is exactly what we needed. Her team also went above and beyond the day-of to ensure every aspect of our special day was executed flawlessly.

Initially, I had not intended to use a wedding planner. However, as the day drew nearer, I knew there was no way I could plan two weddings (one cultural, one American) without help. I chose Amber as a day of coordinator thinking that she would be just that – a person to handle everything day-of, but she was so much more. She was within our budget and was easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. I already had minimal concerns about the wedding day, but Amber took any remaining worries and completely washed them away. She was exceptional from beginning to end, and working with our florist and décor, Amber created a space that exemplified class and elegance. We will never forget the first time we walked into the space she created for us, our family, and our friends.

The Perfect Plan was born from a deep-seated belief that every couple deserves to experience the joy of their engagement without the stress of wedding planning. Our founder, Connie Nye Clark, spent two decades immersed in the hospitality industry, mastering the art of event execution and building a robust network of trusted vendor relationships. She saw firsthand the difference a seamless, expertly planned event makes—not just for the guests, but for the couple themselves. We exist to guide you through every decision, big or small, ensuring your journey to "I do" is as beautiful and stress-free as the day itself.

Awarded Best of Zola
We first met Connie Clark when our daughter was organizing her wedding reception. At that time, Connie was involved with a startup venue that was undergoing renovations. To cut a long story short, around 7 PM the evening before our daughter's reception, it became clear that the venue was not prepared. When the venue manager was not responding to her calls, she rallied the group that was financing the remodeling project. By 10 PM, the lead investor instructed Connie to find an alternative location for the reception, which was scheduled for the following evening. Connie reached out to a nearby coffee shop/bar, explained the situation, and requested the on-duty manager to contact the owner to see if the reception could be held there. Shortly after, Connie received confirmation that the reception would take place at the new venue. She informed the investment group about the change in location and began reorganizing for the new space. Our family learned of the change around 7:30 AM on the day of the reception, and once we gave our approval, Connie assembled a team and transformed the coffee house/bar into a beautiful reception hall. What Connie managed to coordinate and accomplish in such a brief period was truly remarkable.

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.

Envitation is an eco-conscious wedding and event planning company serving NY , Long Island & Beyond. From intimate dinners to full-scale celebrations, we specialize in curating thoughtful, beautiful events with purpose and intention. Our goal is to curate your story in a seamless, elevated & unforgettable way. We strive to not only create moments but rather memories that last a lifetime.

My husband and I found Amore from Envitation Event Planning a little over a month before our wedding, and truly, she was a godsend. After a previous day-of coordinator backed out, I made a post in the Long Island Budget Brides Asking Group looking for someone who could fit our budget. Amore’s comment immediately stood out, and after our first phone call, we just knew she was something special. She even traveled to us, which meant so much. From the moment we spoke, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care were unmatched. As a very anxious bride, I cannot express how calming and reassuring she was. She listened, she understood, and she instantly made me feel like everything was going to be okay — and it absolutely was because of her. Amore went above and beyond in every single way. She executed all of my DIY projects flawlessly (even with a very short setup window), managed all of our vendors, kept everyone on timeline, handled vendor tips, coordinated cleanup, and still made sure my husband and I always had whatever we needed throughout the night. Our guests were even raving about her — that alone says everything. I can say with full confidence that without Amore, our day would not have been the magical, seamless, stress-free day it turned out to be. She cared for our wedding like it was her own, and that is something you cannot put a price on. If you’re on the fence, anxious, or wondering how everything will come together — especially if you have DIY setups or a tight schedule — my husband and I recommend Amore a thousand times over. Hiring her was one of the best wedding decisions we made. Thank you, Amore, for making our dream day truly perfect.
