Working with Valerie made our final month of planning so much more manageable and stress-free. From our first meeting, she communicated clearly about what to expect and stayed on top of every detail. She proactively reached out to the rest of our vendors to confirm timelines and final details, which meant nothing fell through the cracks on the day of. During the wedding, Val made sure everything ran like clockwork while also paying close attention to how our decor came together. It was such a relief knowing we were in good hands with her setting everything up, and our vision looked even better than we imagined. We would definitely recommend Valerie and Yeah Good Weddings to any couple looking for a coordinator who truly cares about making their day special, and will go above and beyond to make your vision come to life.

While I offer planning services for all types of events, weddings are my absolute favorite. I love working with people. I love making them laugh. I love love and I love watching each event unfold. This is literally my dream job and I am so grateful that I get to work in this amazing industry.

Awarded Best of Zola
We just got married on Nov 1st and the day/night was absolutely seamless thanks to RS Event Co. Everything went perfectly and it was truly one of the most wonderful days of my life. When I first started planning our wedding I didn’t think I would need a day-of wedding coordinator- until the months got closer and I realized how much work would actually go into making the day flow the way I envisioned it. We had heard of Raquel through a family friend, so I decided to give her a call. Raquel was personable, proactive and thought of everything I never even thought to consider. She helped us maneuver the months leading to our special day, checking in often and answering every random text. Whatever hiccups there might have been the day-of my husband and I didn’t notice because she was on top of even the smallest detail. We adored working with Raquel and her team. Our wedding was an absolute blast, which I owe to RS Event Co ensuring our vision was exactly what we wanted it to be. My only regret is not calling her sooner!!!!!!

All love stories are welcome here. We proudly celebrate and support couples of every background, identity, orientation, and expression. Our studio was founded to carry forward our father’s legacy of connection, love, and creativity. Inspired by his passion for bringing people together through food and shared experiences, we bring that same intention into our wedding planning, coordination, and event design services.

Working with Socrates' Daughter was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Cat communicated with us in a straightforward and kind way throughout the entire planning process, which made everything feel less stressful. When our waitstaff cancelled last minute, she didn't hesitate to roll up her sleeves and help in the kitchen herself and that's the kind of hustle and dedication we needed on our big day. Cat genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life and proved she's someone you can count on when things get chaotic. She's the type of planner who works hard behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly. We felt so supported by her from start to finish and couldn't be happier with how our day turned out.

House of Elleon is a luxury white-glove wedding and event planning & design studio founded by Noelle Cappuzzo, specializing in refined, editorial celebrations with an emotional core. Each event is a carefully curated experience where the client’s vision is executed with precision, elevated through thoughtful design, and brought to life with seamless flow. With a focus on enhancing the overall experience—not just the aesthetic—Noelle blends creative direction with logistical mastery so every moment feels effortless, intentional, and distinctly personal. Events are expertly produced, emotionally resonant, and elevated from start to finish.

I genuinely do not even know where to begin when it comes to Noelle because there are not enough words to explain how incredible she is. From the VERY beginning of my wedding planning process over a year ago, she handled absolutely everything and more. Any thought, question, idea, concern, crash out, or micromanaging moment I had (and trust me… there were MANY), I could text or call her at literally any time, and she was always there. Not once did she ever make me feel annoying, dramatic, or “too much.” Instead, she made me feel heard, understood, supported, and excited every single step of the way. What makes Noelle so special is that she doesn’t just “plan weddings.” She genuinely takes your vision and transforms it into something bigger and more beautiful than you could have even imagined for yourself. The ideas I had in my head for my wedding somehow came to life TIMES TEN. Every tiny detail was perfected. She thought of things before I even had to ask. She guided me through every decision while still making me feel like the wedding truly reflected me and my husband. And the professionalism? Insane. The organization? Insane. The patience? Saint level. She worked with my budget and constantly gave me options to still achieve the luxury, elegant look I wanted without making me feel pressured to spend beyond my means. She found almost all of my vendors, and every single one of them was phenomenal. The amount of compliments I still receive from guests weeks and months later about how beautiful, organized, and seamless my wedding was honestly speaks for itself. But what REALLY blew me away was wedding day itself. When I tell you I did not have a single worry in the world, I mean it. Noelle and her team handled EVERYTHING. She was genuinely a rockstar from beginning to end. At one point she literally did my late night McDonald’s run herself while her assistants stayed behind making sure me, my bridal party, and my family had everything we needed. Who does that?! That level of care is so rare. She treated my wedding like it was just as important to her as it was to me. Not only did she become my wedding planner, but over this past year she truly became someone so special to me and my family. My family and friends could not stop complimenting her professionalism, kindness, work ethic, and calming presence. I literally had my mom’s friends texting me asking for her information because they were so blown away by her. Noelle made wedding planning FUN. She made it exciting instead of stressful. Honestly, she makes me want to plan another wedding tomorrow just to work with her again. I’m truly going to miss our hours-long meetings spent perfecting every little detail because it all paid off in the most unbelievable way. I can confidently say my wedding would NOT have been what it was without her. She gave me the wedding of my dreams and more, and I will forever be grateful that I trusted her to guide me through one of the biggest moments of my life. I truly believe one day I’ll see her planning celebrity weddings because her talent is genuinely on that level. Thank you for everything, Noelle. I would choose you over and over and over again.

She was easy to talk to, highly knowledgeable, and very reasonably priced for how much she accomplished for us.

As a wedding photographer, I work with a wide range of planners, but Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings truly stands out. Our most recent wedding together was a 2025 New Year’s Eve wedding, and it was clear from the start that this wasn’t just another event—it was a fully immersive experience, thanks in large part to Tanya’s vision and execution. The day was filled with intricate details: a balldrop at midnight filled with bubbles, an elegant champagne tower, and a timeline packed with special moments and intentional design. Tanya handled it all with a calm, confident presence and exceptional attention to detail. She built a full-day timeline that was both comprehensive AND realistic—which meant everything ran smoothly, and I was able to capture the day naturally without unnecessary stress or delays. Tanya’s coordination behind the scenes allowed the couple to stay present and enjoy every moment while ensuring that vendors like myself had exactly what we needed to do our jobs well. Her thoughtful approach and clear communication made a huge difference throughout the day. The energy of a New Year’s Eve wedding is already electric, but Tanya elevated it with a sense of elegance, organization, and creativity that made the whole celebration feel effortless and magical. If you're looking for a planner who can manage complex, high-energy events with grace, precision, and style, Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings is it.

The quality of their work was truly seamless - they meticulously managed load-in and schedule, ensuring the event started flawlessly. Their team's organizational skills, beautiful design work, and professional management made them a trusted, preferred planning and decor vendor for our clients at LOFT39. We would recommend The Bailey Experience over and over again for their visionary approach to weddings.

We absolutely loved working with Dahlia Events for our wedding. Deliece was our main point of contact, and she was truly a joy and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She took care of everything we needed, and so much more than we even knew to ask for. Deliece came prepared with spreadsheets, thoughtful questions, and clear guidance that helped us navigate decisions we didn’t even realize we needed to make, but that proved to be essential. Her organization and attention to detail made the entire planning process feel manageable and well-supported. She handled communication with all of our vendors seamlessly and always made us feel completely taken care of, no matter the detail. When a few hiccups came up along the way, she addressed them with such ease, professionalism, and genuine empathy that we never felt stressed or worried. Beyond her incredible competence, Deliece also brought the warmest, most positive energy, our calls were always something we genuinely looked forward to. And on the wedding day itself, nothing was missed (and I truly mean nothing). Everything ran so smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the day without a single concern. We cannot recommend Dahlia Events highly enough. Working with Deliece was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding.

Hiring DeAnne was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she was an absolute dream, gentle when we had to make tough decisions, affirming when we finally made them, and endlessly supportive throughout, in what is a very stressful process. I have a background in event planning, and my husband (love him) was a little clueless and had a hard time with a lot of the design decisions. She was so patient and did a great job of explaining things in a way that made sense to him! She was able to transform Picnic House in Prospect Park into a beautiful and romantic venue that we had never imagined, and our guests are still raving about the details. Behind the scenes, she handled everything so seamlessly that we were able to enjoy every moment of our day without worry. Dear September brought so much heart to the process, as she found us vendors that completely matched our vibe. She truly understood my vision and brought it to life in a way that I could have never imagined —I still can't believe that was my wedding! Even with some bad weather, she brought quick fixes and made everything seamless. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her enough. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your planner, your wedding will be in the very best hands. Couldn't recommend more!
