“Sarah’s drive to create the most elaborate gatherings, parties and events is next to none! She has gone above and beyond to make sure I’ve had the time of my life during so many of my special moments; my bachelorette party, bridal shower, wedding, and most recently baby shower. Her true desire to take charge and remove all the stress is genuine, there is love in every decision she makes. It poured buckets on our wedding day, but Sarah made sure that didn’t put a damper on the execution and more importantly the joy of the day. She is very careful in her decision making and makes sure to involve you in whatever aspects you want to be a part of, or, if you’d rather, she will say don’t worry about a thing - just show up! Her ideas are flawless and her execution is methodical. Sarah will pour every ounce of energy into planning and preparing whatever event she sets her mind to. There is a sense of relief knowing she has taken the reigns, it’s a guarantee that you will be the guest of honor at one of the most wonderful things you’ve ever seen. To know her is to trust her, she would never steer you wrong.”

“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!”

“We worked with Tiny Laser for our wedding, choosing the 30-days out coordination option. Julianne helped us cross all the Ts as we approached the day. We had a general sense of how we wanted everything to go, but she asked us all the right questions, offering details we hadn't thought of. The result was a perfectly smooth wedding. If there were hiccups, we didn't know about them! Julianne and Jose went above and beyond from the rehearsal dinner on, helping to set up our linens, and figuring out how we'd get down the aisle. At the wedding, Julianne checked in on us throughout, making sure we ate, and got sweaters when it got cooler. She was considerate, polite, and calm. We so appreciate all the work Tiny Laser put in to make our day!”

Hi, I’m Tiffany, owner and lead coordinator of Envisioned Event Planning. I believe you should get to experience the wedding you’ve spent so much time planning, not spend the day managing it. I’m the person thinking three steps ahead, keeping an eye on the timeline, answering vendor questions, and handling the little things before they ever become your problem. My approach is calm, organized, and people-first. Whether you’ve planned every detail yourself or want more support along the way, I step in where you need me so you can carry less and be fully present for the moments that matter.

“We had the opportunity to work with Tiffany of Envisioned Event Planning on several community events, and her organization and attention to detail made such a difference. Tiffany has a way of seeing all the moving pieces of an event and making sure nothing gets missed. She kept things organized, communicated clearly, helped coordinate volunteers and logistics, and was always thinking a few steps ahead. When something unexpected came up, she handled it calmly and found a solution without adding stress for everyone else. One of the things we appreciated most was being able to focus on the event and the people attending it instead of constantly worrying about what needed to happen next. Tiffany is dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about creating an experience that feels well managed for both the hosts and their guests. We would absolutely recommend Envisioned Event Planning to anyone looking for someone they can trust to keep an event running smoothly.”

“Initially I intended to plan all of my wedding on my own - and in many ways I did. We were married at the Customs House in Portland, a venue that is a blankslate venue. As I neared the day however, I began to worry that there were aspects of the planning that I overlooked. I hired The Cosmos at their Month-of package level taking all of that worry out of the process. They took care of all of the things I did miss - called out that there was no plan for trash receptacles, revised the number of glasses rented, added bathroom attendants, adjusted the number of staff etc, but an unexpected element (and maybe the most important) is that they helped me to manage difficult family members. They figured out that this is where a lot of my stress was coming from. I was so grateful to their team for minimizing overall stress. I highly recommend!”

“Booking Cassie to be my wedding coordinator three months out to my wedding day was the best decision I made in the wedding planning process! I really thought I did not want or need a planner/coordinator, but having Cassie there really allowed me to enjoy my wedding. Cassie was diligent, organized, responsive, and patient. Cassie was so on top of every detail and knew all my vendors’ contracts inside and out! I had done lots of research online to make sure I knew every detail going into the wedding planning process, but there were some things I would not have known and Cassie was able to guide me through. For example, one of my vendors insisted an additional hour of rental time needed to be added to the wedding day (that would have cost me hundreds of dollars) and Cassie advocated for me, citing their contract, that it was not necessary. Cassie was also available to help make decisions regarding decor, helping me decide on pieces that best suited and enhanced the venue. I explained my vision of romantic candles everywhere throughout the event. Cassie and I worked together to shape where everything would go to create the seamless look. Cassie (and her assistant Cammie) made everything look stunning on the wedding day - and expertly packed up everything at the end of the night for us. I thought I could have my sister or family friend be in charge of so many of these tasks, but it was *so nice* delegating this out to a professional so that everyone could enjoy the day. Thank you Cassie for an amazing wedding day! Photo credit of venue photos: Created Coastal Photography”

We hired Thyme & Details late in the game for our wedding- about 4 months out when we realized we couldn't pull off the wedding we wanted by ourselves. She responded to every question right away and gave us thoughtful answers that showed they really understood what we wanted for our day. Her vendor recommendations are top notch and her relationships with vendors around the city made the booking processes much quicker and often more affordable. What impressed us most was how organized everything was behind the scenes. Dana & team solved every problem so quickly that we didn't even realize anything had gone wrong. Her depth of experience & knowledge really shows- from timelines to vendor negotiation. On our wedding day, Dana & her team stayed calm and joyful the entire time, which made us feel comfortable and excited instead of stressed.

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.

“When my husband and I began searching for a wedding venue, we visited several locations—but ultimately, we chose our venue because of Danielle. From our very first meeting, we knew we would be in great hands with her. It was, without a doubt, the best decision we made during the entire planning process. Danielle made everything feel effortless. We were working with a strict budget, and she helped us maximize every dollar without compromising on our vision. Her communication was clear, and consistent, removing of the stress and uncertainty that often comes with planning a wedding. Midway through our planning, Danielle received an exciting opportunity at a new venue. While I was thrilled for her, I couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous about what that might mean for us. But Danielle’s dedication is truly unmatched—despite having started a new role, she returned to oversee our wedding day and stayed through the entire evening. We were beyond grateful for her loyalty and support. One of my favorite memories from the day (besides marrying my husband, of course!) was when Danielle pulled us aside before the reception to see the reception space fully set up. The countless boxes of candles and decor I had dropped off the night before had been transformed into something so magical. The room took my breath away—I was instantly in tears. All those months of planning and dreaming had come to life more beautifully than I ever imagined. Thanks to Danielle, I had the perfect wedding day. She is fun, knowledgeable, flexible, incredibly talented, and wholeheartedly committed to her couples. We feel so lucky to have found her.”

“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.”

“I had the honor of working with Marissa last year at a wedding where I was the photographer. Her communication prior to the wedding day was fantastic and we worked together to finalize the timeline. On the day of, we had such a symbiotic relationship! We were a TEAM and that's what its all about! Her attention to detail is impeccable. Everything was so beautifully thought out and executed from decor to orchestrating the flow of the day. She was and is by far, my favorite vendor I worked with that season! Whether you're planning a backyard wedding or an elegant wedding on the Cape, Marissa is your girl! She has my HIGHEST recommendation!”

Hey there! My name is Victoria and what I love the most is helping people plan their special events and taking on the heavy organizational burden, so they can focus on enjoying their day. Whether it's a wedding, a birthday, or a holiday party, I'm passionate about creating an experience that is tailored to each client's unique needs and preferences. In my free time, I love practicing yoga, reading books, rewatching Harry Potter, and snuggling my Corgi (if he lets me). Let's work together to create an unforgettable experience that will leave you and your guests with lasting memories!

“Victoria has a real talent - she is professional, thorough, has a sharp eye for detail, and above all, she is empathetic and kind. It was such a relief for me to put my trust in her on my wedding day - it made me more present and able to live in the moment because I knew whatever happened, she’d be there! From setting up the reception area to making sure I always had a drink in my hand, she was there for me. It was great to bounce ideas off of her in the wedding planning process, and everything came together flawlessly. I truly couldn’t have done it without her.”
