“Wedding Planning Plus was an excellent choice for our wedding planning needs for our June 2025 wedding at the Equniox Resort in Manchester, VT. From the start, their communication style was direct, helpful, and calming, which was greatly appreciated as we planned our big day. The quality of their work and value they provided was outstanding - they were focused, supportive, and incredibly well-connected in the region, using their network of vendors to perfectly execute our wedding and beautifully and bringing our garden party tent reception vision to life. On the day of, Eliza ran the schedule effortlessly and her competence completely allowed my husband and I to be fully present. In particular, we appreciated the way that she approached us over the course of the wedding to check if we still wanted to do the next scheduled item, it gave us a sense of control over how we spent our time rather than feeling like we were manically running from task to task. So many of our friends and family have reported back that the wedding was the smoothest of the weddings they had attended this year, and its all thanks to WPP. We are so grateful for the incredible support Wedding Planning Plus provided and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.”

At Katie O’ Weddings & Events, our goal is to make every client sparkle. This means brighter smiles, louder laughs, and more excitement than you have ever experienced. Sparkling is about being fully immersed in the moment; it’s about being completely present, completely joyful, aware, and moved by all the positive energy and love surrounding you.

“Katie O Weddings & Events is simply the BEST! From start to finish, they made our wedding exactly what we envisioned and honestly, even better than we could have imagined. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and their ability to truly listen to our vision and elevate it in ways we didn’t even think of was incredible. As someone who plans large events for a living, I wasn’t sure I needed a wedding planner—but after meeting with Katie and Casey, and understanding all that they offer, I quickly realized just how much I did. Their expertise, organization, and creativity brought everything to life in a way we never could have done on our own. They also helped us put together the most incredible team of vendors, many of whom came from their recommendations, and every single one was amazing. The value they bring through their network alone is huge. They handled every detail so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy the entire weekend with our family and friends. What stood out just as much was how they treated our guests, they made our family and friends feel so special and comfortable, like they were their own. The KOWE team goes above and beyond in ways you don’t even realize until you’re in it. I genuinely don’t know how people get married without them!!! I truly loved working with them and honestly miss it! We are so incredibly grateful for Katie & Casey and we could not recommend them more highly to anyone considering a wedding planner (or honestly even if you’re not, I strongly encourage you to meet with them and see just how much they can elevate your entire experience!!) Thank you, Katie & Casey”

We handle the behind-the-scenes details so you can stay present and excited for your big day.

“I don’t know how to put into words what Katie meant to us throughout our wedding planning process and on our day. Our wedding would not have been anywhere CLOSE to as successful, seamless, fun, and stress-free without her. We hired Katie for month-of services, but she met with us once a month after we hired her to keep us on track. She helped us navigate decisions, answering questions, and making sure we were actually accomplishing the things we needed to accomplish. When we reached the wedding decision fatigue, Katie showed us the way. She is the rare person who can simultaneously be your wedding planner, therapist, friend, and absolute bulldog when something needs to get done. She will fight & advocate for you. She will make sure you feel heard, validated, and supported. Her knowledge and attention to detail are truly INSANE. She created the most incredible weekend timeline for us, with floor plans and details we never would have thought of. Her advice made a HUGE difference in our wedding experience. She helped maximize our time with our photographer and figured out the most convenient time for everyone to sign our marriage license. One of my favorite examples of Katie’s attention to detail happened during our ceremony. She intentionally placed my family on the opposite side from me and my husband’s family on the opposite side from him. At first, we didn’t understand. Then she explained: so our families could see OUR FACES instead of the backs of our heads. We immediately went, OH. DUH. It was a detail we never would have considered, but it made our guests’ experience so much better. That’s Katie - she thinks about things we didn’t know needed thinking about. Katie connected us with the BEST vendors, including our seamstress and transport company, and she already had relationships with our favorite vendors, including our DJ, Mobile Bar and Tent Rental Co. Her relationships and reputation in the industry were invaluable. If you want the best of the best, Katie will make sure you know who they are. Katie's helpers were absolutely INCREDIBLE. They were kind, attentive, and made us feel taken care of. On the actual wedding day I had ZERO worries. She made sure we didn’t miss a single important moment, kept everything moving, handled the details, and made sure stress never even came near us. Making sure I ate, Katie literally FED me and when food started falling out of my mouth, SHE CAUGHT IT WITH HER HANDS SO IT WOULDN’T LAND ON MY DRESS. If that doesn’t tell you what kind of wedding planner she is, I don’t know what will. As my husband and I were leaving our wedding, we said: THANK GOD WE HIRED KATIE. Katie is patient, kind, incredibly smart, organized beyond belief, hilarious, sassy, fiercely protective of her couples, and clearly doing what she was made to do. She has the ability to be both a total bulldog and the most calming, reassuring person. She doesn’t just coordinate weddings. She takes care of people. Katie, we love you. We appreciate you more than we can possibly put into words. You made our wedding possible, and you made it feel effortless for us. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, HIRE KATIE. Seriously. Our wedding would not have happened without her. We wouldn’t change a single thing.”

Cathy founded Cathy's Elegant Events in 2010. Although she was born in NYC, her family moved to the Catskill Mountains at a young age, but they maintained a home in Brooklyn. This allowed her to have a unique upbringing in both Upstate New York and Brooklyn, where many of her relatives still reside. Cathy holds a degree in Mathematics and Statistics.

“It was so fun getting to spend time with her and getting to know her during this process. Cathy made every little detail of our fairytale wedding come true. She was terrific during the planning process. When I wanted to try to handle projects myself, she stepped back and let me handle them, but was always there if I needed advice or help with anything. When I needed her to be more involved and hands on, I felt completely confident and comfortable letting her take things in the direction that she felt was best. She was always quick to answer emails and talk on the phone to hash out big picture items or last minute details. The week leading up to the wedding Cathy was AMAZING. We spent almost 2 hours on the phone making sure every last detail was taken care of and exactly the way I envisioned it. She ran our ceremony in the pouring rain and was always cheerful and positive, she was there for me for moral support all afternoon while I was getting ready, she helped setup the barn and ceremony beautifully and made sure every detail was in order. During the ceremony and reception, she made sure that my husband and I were taken care of the entire evening. Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish and Cathy's expertise, guidance and help played such a huge part in the success of our wedding day. Thank you Cathy!! Tim and I are so grateful for all the hardwork and love you put into making our day great.”

We started working with them a year before, and they were deeply engaged the entire time. Our wedding was a full weekend (3 days and three events), with lots of different moving parts and activities. Everything was outdoors. We had to bring in and set up a lot of stuff. Not only were they exceptional at knowing and implementing logistics (sound, lighting, rentals, decor, rain plans), they always made sure that the events reflected our personal vision and intentions. The planning process itself was made immensely fun working with them. Because of their expertise, we were able to focus on the creative stuff. We crafted what we hoped the weekend would look like together, planning over calls and the super organized planning spreadsheets Kim and CJ have created. Their systems kept us on track, and we (and our guests!) appreciated how well organized and executed everything was! On Saturday, we had lots of intermittent rain during outdoor events. Kim and CJ kept all our guests dry and happy, shifting schedules and logistics as needed. We were involved in these decisions but also trusted them completely, so were able to be fully present in the day with our guests. Kim’s timelines the day of the wedding ran impeccably; nothing felt rushed and she brought on top notch folks to work the wedding as day of staff. She has a deep knowledge of and relationships with various vendors in upstate New York, everyone was truly excellent. On top of it all, Kim and CJ were truly a joy to work with.

They listened to us and carried out our ideas down to the smallest details (like hiding ceramic cows under my parents’ name tags), and were creative with my extra decorating material without specific direction from me (who had plenty of other things to worry about). I would definitely recommend House of Elleon to anyone who has a vision they want to bring to life!”

“I recently worked with Yasmine for my daughter's wedding at The Highland Manor under the beautiful oak tree. She was not only so sweet and easy to work with, but truly a professional all the way. It was such a pleasure working with her. She met with us a few times to go over every detail of the big day, which made my daughter and I feel so comfortable and less stressed out. She is so organized and had everything down to the detail planned out. She took all the stress off our hands and let us enjoy the big event stress free. If she noticed a slight issue, she right on it. Like for example the guest who showed up way early and went inside the venue before any one was supposed too. (We wanted to keep the inside a secret until we opened the doors). She was already on top of things and politely and quickly escorted them out of the building to the waiting area. My daughter felt like she could turn to Yasmine for anything and she was right. I just can't say how thankful I was to have Yasmine to work with. She just made the wedding day so much better by being the true wonderful professional that she is and letting us enjoy things. She is wonderful!”

“Hiring Merry by Mia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We chose Merry by Mia as our Day-of Coordinator because of their deep familiarity with our venue, Audrey’s Farmhouse, and from the moment we met Mia, we felt at ease. She and Lindsey were not only incredibly professional, but also warm, approachable, and endlessly helpful. We had so many questions and ideas throughout the planning process, and they always had thoughtful answers or were quick to help troubleshoot. Mia made herself available right from the start, and that constant support made all the difference. On our wedding day, everything ran flawlessly thanks to Lindsey's on-site management, hard work and attention to detail. Even with my own background in event planning, I knew I was in the best hands. Lindsey and Mia coordinated seamlessly with our vendors and made sure every detail aligned with our vision. By the end of the process, they didn’t feel like vendors—they felt like friends. If you’re on the fence about hiring a Day-of Coordinator, trust me: it’s worth it. There are so many moving parts, and having someone who truly understands the ins and outs is invaluable. I feel so lucky to have had them by our side.”

“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.”

“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!”
