“Working with Valerie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I originally thought I would be fine with just a day-of coordinator, but trying to balance wedding planning with an already busy life eventually became overwhelming. In such a short amount of time, Valerie took my hot mess of ideas, Pinterest boards, and all the little details I had imagined and turned them into the wedding I had dreamed of. She truly understood the assignment and came through on everything. She listened to me, understood my vision, and somehow always seemed to be on the same wavelength. One of the things I appreciated most was how reliable she was. I never had to wonder whether something would get done or whether she would follow through. I trusted that if Valerie said she had it, she had it. That kind of peace of mind was invaluable during such a busy and emotional season. She was also incredibly accommodating to our cultural needs and was always willing to go with the flow. No matter how specific, unconventional, or last-minute an idea may have been, she never made me feel like I was asking for too much or that my ideas were crazy. Instead, she found a way to make things work while still keeping everything cohesive and beautiful. She was approachable, patient, reassuring, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. Somewhere along the way, she became my fairy god-sister of wedding planning. Whenever difficult decisions came up, I trusted her completely and knew she understood me and my vision well enough to make the right call. Most importantly, our wedding day went so smoothly because of her. I was actually able to be present and enjoy the day with my husband, family, and friends without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. I truly cannot thank Valerie enough for helping me navigate the planning process through all of its ups and downs and for bringing my dream wedding to life. Having someone so reliable, flexible, and completely in my corner made all the difference. I’m so grateful she was such an important part of our wedding day and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

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 Made Our Wedding Absolutely Perfect! I don’t even know where to begin in expressing how amazing Danielle was as our wedding coordinator. From the very first conversation, she brought a sense of calm, organization, and genuine care that made the entire planning process feel not so overwhelming. Danielle truly went above and beyond every step of the way. She listened to our ideas, helped create our vision, and made sure every single detail was executed flawlessly. Her communication was always clear, timely, and reassuring—and on the big day, she was nothing short of a miracle worker. Everything ran so smoothly, and we can’t thank her enough for that. Danielle has a special gift—not only for logistics and coordination but for creating a day that feels personal, magical, and completely stress-free. Our guests noticed it too—so many people told us how seamless and beautiful the day felt. We are so grateful to have had Danielle by our side. She gave us the peace of mind to fully enjoy one of the most important days of our lives. If you’re looking for someone who is personalable, reliable, creative, and incredibly skilled at what she does, Danielle is the one.

“We could not have been happier to have Victoria on our team for our July 2024 wedding! We hired Victoria for wedding day management. 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. From collecting and setting up all of our day-of details, orchestrating the flow of our wedding ceremony, and even bustling my wedding dress, she was involved in every aspect of our day and ensured that it was perfect. My husband and I could relax and be fully present knowing that Victoria had everything under control. I cannot recommend Victoria and Everlasting Affairs highly enough!”

“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!!

“We hired Carin to coordinate a complex wedding with a lot of custom elements designed by us and our friends and family. She did an incredible job - our guests all told us what a great time they had, and how much they loved our choices - but the execution was all Carin. Before the wedding, she listened to what we wanted and made sure to ask us everything she needed to know. Then, as the day got close, we didn't have to worry even a bit. Carin handled it all and we were able to concentrate on the ceremony. She did a great job reading the room and figuring out the logistics at the same time, so that from arrival to ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner, to dancing, the evening had a flow that felt organic and natural. Us newlyweds and our guests barely had to think at all. But it was because of Carin's thoughtful and sharp coordination that it felt this way. She was keeping it running behind the scenes, making all the right calls as things came up, like a trusted general in the field. It's hard to express how happy we are with how it all turned out. We'll remember this wedding the rest of our lives, and we got to do it our way, but with a level of professionalism and execution we never could have achieved by ourselves. There's not a lot of coordinators who can do that - who can honor the vision entirely but put all the pieces together. Carin made it happen. (PS - we also hired Carin's partner, Jacob, as our wedding DJ - he did a great job too, reading the room, keeping the party going, and working seamlessly with Carin to keep the flow of the party. They book separately, and you could always choose your own DJ, but we recommend Jacob highly and were glad we went with him.)”

Debbie is the calm in the chaos and the quiet force behind a flawlessly run wedding day. With a steady presence, quick problem-solving instincts, and an eye for the details couples didn’t even know mattered. 0rganized but never rigid. Blending structure with warmth, clear direction with collaboration, and professionalism with a genuinely supportive energy. Vendors appreciate her realistic timelines & proactive communication, while couples love that she’s both their biggest advocate and their steady anchor. The kind of coordinator who can manage a timeline, fluff a dress, redirect a vendor, and calm nerves without missing a beat.

“Deb was an absolute rockstar throughout our wedding. I brought her on as our coordinator after I had already hired most of my vendors and was starting to feel overwhelmed, and it was one of the best decisions I made. Her years of experience were invaluable because she truly thought of everything. No detail was too small, and she consistently went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. She kept everything running smoothly and solved problems before I even knew they existed. Beyond being incredibly organized and professional, Deb was also so kind and thoughtful. She made sure that my family, my husband, and I were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of the day instead of worrying about logistics. If you're looking for someone who is experienced, super responsive, calm under pressure, and genuinely invested in making your event special, I cannot recommend Deb highly enough.

“We booked for both florals and planning. We could not be more grateful to Angel for her unbelievable help. When beginning to plan our wedding, we had some vague ideas of what we liked, but were not completely sure. Despite only advertising as a 3 month planner, Angel helped us from the day we booked with her (a little under a year and a half before our wedding). She recommended amazing vendors, let us run ideas and questions by her at any time, and helped us craft the most beautiful day. We intentionally decided that florals would be lower on our list of priorities and expenses. Angel also does florals through Greenhouse Events, and she showed us beautiful photos and had the most reasonable prices of any florist we had met. I had a few requests for florals: namely, I wanted a few peonies for my bouquet in November, and gave a few other types of flowers I'd love to see. Peonies are not in season in November in North America, so I knew it might be difficult. Flash forward to our wedding: Angel had everything so detailed and organized, and everything moved so seamlessly. She absolutely blew us away with her decor and florals. It probably looked like a wedding that would have spent triple what we actually did on florals based on the STUNNING flowers. When I asked for a few peonies, she delivered literal buckets of peonies. Everyone was talking to us about how stunning the decor was, and we couldn't agree more. Angel really picked up on what we did and didn't like, helped us identify the most important parts of the day, and made sure we felt special and taken care of with little things we wouldn't think of already planned for in advance. She also kept everything running smoothly but in a relaxed way that was not pushy or frustrating for guests, and kept us on schedule while allowing for extra time for things as they came up. We could not recommend Angel any more highly. She is truly a lifesaver and made our day unbelievably special and perfect.”

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.”

“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”

“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.”

“From the moment my (now) husband and I met Raquel, we knew she was the right person to help us make our dream wedding happen. We selected her "partial planning" package and I cannot begin to explain how grateful we are that we did! She is extremely responsive (near instant text replies!! I could never!), open minded and willing to brainstorm, but also an important (yet patient) force in guiding important decision making and keep everyone on task / deadline. Best of all? Raquel is such a wonderful human being, that over the course of the year we became genuine friends. She CARES, and I think that's one of the most incredible things about her (aside from the very obvious talent she has for planning and coordinating weddings).”

“Choosing E&A Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

The second she arrived at the venue, she took control of everything and put our minds completely at ease—we barely had to think about anything. What really stood out was her attention to detail; she went above and beyond in ways we didn't expect, like blowing up my father-daughter dance guitars when they started to deflate, and she even captured candid photos throughout the day and surprised us with them afterward. Elizabeth's efficiency and her ability to stay on top of every little thing made our wedding run seamlessly. We can't thank her enough for making our day so special.”

I'm Charissa owner & lead planner. My doormat says it best, 'running on coffee, wine, and the dog's time', but seriously I start every intro call with the disclaimer that you may hear the barking, snoring, or a squeaky toy in the background. I'm the twenty-something-year-old that's gone from throwing "Weddings" in her neighbor's driveway, to throwing them in some pretty amazing spaces. With over a decade of experience in weddings and corporate events, this isn't my first rodeo. Weddings are sort of my thing!

“I highly recommend Charissa and her team if you're looking for a wedding coordinator/planner! She is so professional, organized, and just the nicest person ever. We had so many questions and worries but Charissa helped us feel at ease throughout it all. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND on the day of the wedding... literally hauling extra chairs with her throughout the botanic gardens so we could get our photographs!! LOL! You can just tell how much she cares about her clients and we so appreciated the effort. We also had Kevin on her team set-up the decor at the venue and they did an amazing job -- we were blown away when we arrived! We got tons of compliments from our guests at how lovely the entire wedding was and I know we could not have pulled it off without Charissa / Simply Loved Weddings!!”

“There truly aren't enough words to express how grateful we are for everything Stephanie and her team did for us. From the very beginning of the planning process through the final moments of our wedding day, she exceeded every expectation we had—and then some. She and her team anticipated needs before we even realized we had them, solved problems before they ever reached us, and somehow made an event with countless moving parts feel completely effortless. We were able to be fully present on our wedding day because we never had to worry about a single detail. We knew everything was being handled, and it absolutely was. More than anything, she took incredible care of us as a couple. She constantly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed, and made us feel like the only two people in the room. Her calm presence, professionalism, and genuine kindness made what could have been a stressful process feel exciting, enjoyable, and completely stress-free. The day flowed more perfectly than we ever imagined, and that's entirely because of the work happening behind the scenes. Every vendor knew where to be, every transition happened seamlessly, and every little detail we had envisioned came to life flawlessly. We didn't have to think about logistics once—we just got to soak in every moment with our family and friends. Our guests repeatedly commented on how smoothly everything ran, and while they saw a beautiful wedding, we know it was because of the incredible person orchestrating it all. Hiring her wasn't just one of the best wedding decisions we made—it was the best decision we made. She gave us the priceless gift of actually experiencing our wedding day instead of managing it. We would recommend her a thousand times over to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares, goes above and beyond in every possible way, and delivers absolute perfection.”
