“James and I hired Brittany just a couple of months before our wedding in September 2026 and she was absolutely FABULOUS!!! Even in just a short time before the wedding itself she was so warm and attentive and we knew right away just based on our first phone call that she was the right fit for us. From initiating contacts with our vendors to keeping routine checks on us, Brittany’s communication is on POINT. She was always willing to answer any questions or requests we had and we could easily tell how passionate she was for making sure our special day went smoothly. On the rehearsal night Brittany kept us and our families on schedule and made sure everyone was comfortable with whichever role/task they had to complete. She even stayed late with our parents to ensure the aisle runner was placed well!!! Without being asked she jumped right in and also helped with decor set up for our reception space. On the day of the wedding Brittany ran a smooth program and made sure all of my husband and I’s needs were met no matter what—- including making sure we were able to enjoy the cocktail hour foods!!! She navigated our pretty tight schedule with ease, particularly for our venue being so big and the number of activities we had planned!!! If you want a wedding coordinator who is the sweetest, communicates well, and who will advocate for you and your spouse at all times, Brittany is the one for you!!! We cannot recommend Six Star Celebrations ENOUGH. THANK YOU BRITTANY!!! The Barnes 9.2026”

“Working with Felicia was truly a lifesaver. I was one of those brides who was convinced I could do everything myself. I'm very detail-oriented, I had already decided on all my floral décor, and I even baked for my own wedding. I genuinely thought I would enjoy planning it all. But let me tell you—the wedding industry can be brutal. For many vendors, your once-in-a-lifetime day is simply another business transaction. I can't even describe the amount of stress, frustration, and tears I went through dealing with some of them. I spoke with several wedding planners, but I chose Felicia because, from the very first conversation, I could tell she truly cared. This isn't just a job for her—it's her passion. She has the biggest heart, and when you're her bride, she protects you like a lioness protects her cub. She stands by your side relentlessly, fights for you, and genuinely wants your day to be everything you've dreamed of. Whenever I got stuck, she connected me with incredible vendors. Her recommendations and relationships are amazing, and she made what could have been an overwhelming experience genuinely fun. I honestly don't know how I would have managed without her. She is an absolute treasure, and I cannot recommend her enough. She was a blessing in every little detail, and there is far too much I could say in one post. Thank you, Felicia. You are truly amazing. ️”

“Mari is IT. My husband and I met with a handful of coordinators who all seemed qualified and capable, but none that seemed to vibe with our energy UNTIL we met Mari! Right away she was calming and tuned in and warm. She felt like someone we would hang out with but then make that person an organizational wizard.As first time wedders, who had never imagined a specific wedding day aesthetic or theme, we would frequently worry this whole thing might not come together. But IT DID under Mari's expert guidance! And not only was it a big success (imo) she also never made us feel dumb or wrong or like bad engaged people for breaking tradition or for asking if we need Welcome signs. Mari was very good about holding us to our deadlines but not hounding us. When we felt like we were months behind she assured us we were in a good place.And then the day of the wedding, Mari and Anjeanette, were like the 1992 US Men's Olympic basketball team! Just two pros moving seamlessly, never missing. If we had a question, they had the answer before we asked. I always wondered how weddings happen without the bride and groom being pulled in every direction. Elle Events is how.”

We had rented out a large vacation house as our venue, so we had to bring in everything ourselves as far as setting up tables/chairs, linens, decor, etc. Not only did Katie deliver on this and make sure everything I imagined in my head came to life, but her calming presence always made me feel like no matter what, everything was going to be ok and get done. She truly made sure we had the wedding of our dreams! I cannot say enough great things about Katie and her team. You will not be disappointed if you work with Lotus Events for your wedding!”

Hi! I am the founder of Adom Creations, wedding planning is not just an event but an opportunity to create unforgettable experiences for my clients. Led by founder Benies, Adom Creations specializes in traditional White American weddings, multicultural, and faith-based celebrations, including Jewish and Muslim weddings. We honor tradition, embrace diversity, and execute every event with professionalism, care, and intention.

“We truly could not have done this without Benies. After our original wedding planner unexpectedly quit, we were left stressed and unsure how everything would come together—until Benies stepped in. From the moment she took over, she brought calm, confidence, and clarity to what felt like a chaotic situation. Stepping in last minute is no small task, yet she handled it with grace and professionalism. Benies quickly got up to speed and even helped us define our vision. Her organization, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills were exceptional. She seamlessly coordinated vendors, managed timelines, and ensured that every detail—big and small—was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly. We were able to be fully present, relaxed, and genuinely enjoy every moment knowing she had everything handled. What truly sets Benies apart is how much she genuinely cares—she was responsive, reassuring, incredibly knowledgeable, and always one step ahead. If you are looking for a wedding planner who is dependable, talented, calm under pressure, and truly invested in her couples, look no further. Hiring Benies—especially under these circumstances—was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough. E & J”

Hi, my name is Katrina! I have been coordinating weddings for almost over a decade now. I started doing weddings with my mother who was an event planner and designer at the time and fell in love with the process and being part of such a beautiful occasion. I work with clients directly from weeks to several months to help curate, design, execute making their dream come to fruition!

“I had the pleasure of working with Katrina as our wedding coordinator and I cannot speak highly enough of her attention to detail and meticulous planning. Though I had 15 people in my wedding, due to covid, it still felt like a dream come true getting married that day. She had planned a mini surprise for my best friends to come and see me before I got married which was very special. I thank Katrina for making my wedding a memorable one and even though it wasn’t traditional because of covid, she was still able to bring out what I had envisioned for my covid-19 wedding. Her quality of service was superb and I highly recommend.”
