“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.

“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. Every time I know we are going to work together, I fist pump the air in celebration because it will be FLAWLESS! — Cait Fletcher Cait Fletcher Photography”

“I can’t say enough good things about Ayden! I hired her later in the planning process, and my only regret is not hiring her sooner. She truly kept me sane on my wedding day. From quickly bustling my dress so I could get back to the party, to even helping my dad fix the hem of his pants—she went above and beyond in every way. My venue went through three different coordinators in the span of a year (something I never thought would happen, especially at such a nice hotel in Maine). The communication was a nightmare, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Ayden. She was relentless in trying to get in contact with someone when I simply didn’t have the time—I work a full-time, demanding job—and I didn’t even hear from the venue until about three weeks before my wedding. We still had timeline issues that needed immediate attention, and Ayden took charge. She finally got me in touch with the general manager, and things smoothed out from there. By the time the wedding arrived, I was so burnt out that I gave Ayden very little direction on how to set up some of my decorative pieces—and she absolutely nailed it. Everything looked wonderful and exactly how I had envisioned it (if not better). She kept me on schedule, executed every detail perfectly, and made the day feel effortless. I know wedding planning is expensive, but the stress and anxiety are just not worth the hassle. Having Ayden there was truly priceless. She is calm, collected, and incredibly detail-oriented—exactly the person you want by your side on your wedding day. If you’re on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, let this be your sign—Ayden is absolutely incredible!”

She went above and beyond throughout our planning process and made us feel like we were her top priority, even though we know she works with many couples throughout the wedding season. Her organization, attention to detail, and patience are unmatched. The BEO that she creates for the wedding day was so informative and detailed and brought so much joy to this Type A bride! During planning, I was struggling with the color scheme and table design for the reception. Victoria came to my rescue and helped design our table scapes and handled all correspondence with the rentals company. The outcome was absolutely stunning and I could not have been happier. Similarly, I did not know how to go about creating the timeline for our transportation and wedding day. Victoria provided this for us and it was seamless and so easy. Our family and wedding party were so impressed with how she ran our wedding rehearsal. On the wedding day itself, she made sure that the day flowed smoothly.

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.”

From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting.

“Abibi Bridal made our wedding day look and feel so easy and special. They were like superheroes, handling everything with professionalism and care. We contacted them just 3 months before our wedding on 10/09, but they made our dream wedding happen in that short period of time.

“A million thanks to DeAnne & Sarah for making our wedding a fun and relatively seamless experience. DeAnne swooped into our planning with less than 6 months to our wedding date. We thought we just needed a day of planner, but DeAnne helped us see the light! She provided us with the structure we desperately needed to make our day special, cohesive and intentional. DeAnne worked with our vision and the folks we had already hired, while bringing in the best of her contacts. Plus, Sarah was the most amazing, energetic and peppy day of coordinator. Thank you both!!! I would 100% with no reservations recommend working with Dear September for your wedding!”

We are committed to providing a truly comprehensive experience for our clients, transforming your wedding dreams into a reality, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

“From start to finish, working with T4S for our full-service wedding planning was nothing short of exceptional! We planned a two-day celebration (a Catholic ceremony and reception dinner on the first day, followed by a Hindu ceremony and reception dinner on the second day). Each day came with its own distinct timeline, aesthetic, and cultural traditions. Yet, T4S managed it all with remarkable expertise that what could have been overwhelming instead felt exciting and stress-free. At the start of the wedding planning process, we came to T4S with only a venue and a date, but we were lost on how to figure everything else out. My husband and I have demanding work schedules, and so the logistics of planning felt daunting in addition to bringing two culturally different weddings to life. T4S immediately helped us find clarity in our vision, create a realistic budget, and build a roadmap that made the entire process feel manageable. They were responsive, detail-oriented, and always one step ahead. No question was ever too small, and no request was ever too much. We could tell right away that they genuinely cared about getting every part of our wedding just right. Over the course of a year, T4S guided us through vendor selection, design decisions, and countless logistics with patience and thoughtfulness. They took our ideas and transformed them into something far beyond what we could have imagined and understood not just how we wanted our wedding to look, but how we wanted it to feel. When the wedding weekend finally arrived, we were completely blown away! Every detail, every transition, every setup, and every moment was handled with such care and calm that we never once had to worry about what was happening behind the scenes. T4S coordinated all of our vendors, multiple event spaces, and two full ceremonies/receptions while making it all appear effortless. They anticipated our needs before we even realized them and made sure we could be fully present and enjoy every moment of both days! Our guests could not stop raving about how beautifully executed and well-coordinated the entire weekend was, which is entirely thanks to T4S. We will be forever grateful for Shannon, Kelly, and Rafaela! Their skill, creativity, and care transformed our vision into a weekend we’ll cherish forever!”

I’m Amber-Lynn Watson, founder of Small Town Moments. My passion for planning started with our own wedding, a Jack and Jill, and a fundraiser I organized for the American Heart Association in memory of my cousin. I discovered I thrive on the small details that others often overlook—like timing a ceremony with the sunset or organizing raffles so everything runs smoothly. Today, I bring that same heart and precision to every wedding and event I plan. My goal is simple: to ease your stress, keep things beautifully organized, and help you fully enjoy a day filled with unforgettable moments.

“Amber-Lynn was my wedding coordinator for my June 14, 2025 wedding at Chamard Vineyard. My wedding was about 30 people and Amber-Lynn ensured my special day went smoothly. Amber-Lynn is super organized, meticulous, thorough, professional, and passionate about her craft. You can tell Amber-Lynn takes pride in her events and truly loves what she does - this translate into giving you the best wedding you could ask for! Amber- Lynn was always easy to get ahold of & and quickly responsive. She took all the stress off my wedding day and allowed me to enjoy while she made sure every detail was perfect. She did the whole venue set up for me, had an organized itinerary, and helped with my ceremony music. Cannot recommend her services enough!”

“Mackenize and Erica were absolutely AWESOME! Our wedding was behind schedule and we needed to pull everything together last minute - they were total professionals and did an incredibly job. The wedding went off perfectly, and it simply would not have happened without them. They are incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and are just great people that are a pleasure working with. Would HIGHLY recommend them as planners!”

Every wedding I plan is approached with the same care, consideration, and attention I would give if it belonged to someone I love. That philosophy shapes every recommendation I make from the biggest decisions to the smallest details. My background is in hospitality, so creating experiences where people feel welcomed and cared for has always been at the heart of what I do. I bring that same mindset to every wedding, helping couples navigate the planning process with guidance they can trust and creating celebrations that feel genuine, meaningful, and entirely their own.

“Danielle wasn’t directly my wedding planner but I worked with her at my job several years ago! She wanted to help be a part of the planning process and I was so grateful for her help! I planned most of my wedding myself but having her there to lean on and bounce ideas and recommendations off of was really what I didn’t know I needed. She would go out of her way to find different options and price points for me to help save in any way and my goodness I needed that help and organization! She kept things real and did not sugar coat anything which I genuinely appreciated. I can’t wait to recommend her to my sister who will hopefully be engaged in the next few years!”

“My husband Alex and I got married in June of this year at Eolia Mansion. After nearly two years meticulously planning our big day I just knew that we needed the right person to help us pull it off, and wow did Abby exceed expectations and boy did we wish we had worked with her earlier on. Abby truly went above and beyond for us from helping with our timelines and floor plan, to executing our decor and managing vendors on a VERY short load in/load out window, to instructing our family/friends. To this day our close friends and family continue to say how amazing Abby was and have had nothing but the highest words about what an incredible job she did so that we could all just be in the moment and enjoy our special day!! Just to top it all off at the very end of the evening my husband accidentally left his keys behind and Abby drove out of the way to drop them off at our after party. Thank you Abby for everything!!”

“Katelynn made the planning of our wedding a pleasure. She was organized, always upbeat, has a great network, excellent ideas, yet not afraid to push back when needed. She kept the process moving along which allowed us to mostly enjoy the whole thing. She set us up for an amazing wedding, more beautiful than we could have even imagined. We loved working with her and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
