What if your wedding didn’t just celebrate your love but told its story? Shelby transforms the guest experience by guiding them through a journey of your relationship from dating, to engagement, to marriage. This is more than a beautiful event. It’s a narrative brought to life one that unfolds effortlessly, feels deeply personal, and leaves your guests immersed in the emotion of your celebration. Long after the day has passed, your story is the part they’ll remember. Your love deserves to be experienced, not just observed. Create a wedding that lingers in your hearts and theirs!

From the start, I had a very specific vision for my wedding day that I planned myself. I was a DIY decor bride, with particular taste. Throughout the wedding planning process, I realized that on the day of my wedding trying to navigate having a separate ceremony and reception location, there was no way I was going to be able to do it all myself. I met with many Massachusetts wedding planners and day of coordinators and absolutely no one is as dedicated to their couples as Shelby. From the time we hired Shelby for “month of” planning support, she was our biggest cheerleader and accountability partner. Shelby never thought we were “too much” and went out of her way to ask detailed questions about what our vision for our big day was. There is no job the day of the wedding that Shelby can’t handle. Because of Shelby, all my vendors had a detailed timeline of what to expect day of and what I wanted from them. When I tell you I didn’t have to make a single phone call or write a single email to a vendor, I mean NOBODY called me to ask questions the week of the wedding. This is because Shelby handles everything and follows up with everyone on your behalf before they could call you. All my vendors loved working with Shelby and appreciated her professionalism and thoroughness. On the day of the wedding, Shelby executed every single piece of my wedding better than I could have imagined. She took care to display everything beautifully, and I received so many compliments about how all the little details came together. Shelby constantly checked in with me to make sure I had anything I needed. My day was completely stress free due to Shelby. At the end of the night, everything was already packed up for me and placed in the designated areas. My husband and I both were hesitant to hire a wedding planner, especially because we had already planned so much of the wedding on my own. However, after the wedding day we both reflected that hiring Shelby was the best money we spent on our wedding day. We cannot endorse Shelby’s services enough! If you want a stress free wedding where you don’t have to lift a finger, hire Wedding by Weir.

I recently worked directly with Audrey, from Audrey Walsh Events & Co., on a wedding in September at the Providence Public Library. I was the Day of Coordinator for the caterer at this exclusive venue and we worked together for the wedding day. Her communication style was detailed, organized, and easy to collaborate with - she clearly has extensive experience as a wedding planner. She was truly a delight, and I enjoyed collaborating with her.

  • Serves Dorchester, MA

Hi there! My name is Liv and I am a New England born event planner. Being the youngest of 12 cousins, I went to my fair share of weddings growing up. I naturally fell in love with seeing the first chapter of my friends and families life begin. I’ve worked with some of the best vendors in the Seacoast, learning and growing as much as possible. In October 2021, I took a leap of faith and opened my own business! I'll never take for granted being able to work with clients I love, doing what I love. Let’s make your dream wedding a reality!

Awarded Best of Zola
It is not unusual for wedding planning to begin more than a year in advance of your big day. Venue, flowers, decor, churches (bring your own priest which is a thing), engagement photos, DJ, wedding party, save the dates, invitations. The list DOES. NOT. STOP. With all of these moving parts it really makes you wonder how such a complex event can happen without the slightest issue and seemingly end before you know it. Well, Liv is our reason. After months of planning, and picking, and choosing, and changing, and scrapping ideas our bandwidth for creativity and follow-through was wearing thin. Liv saved the day. She seamlessly coordinated communications between all parties and vendors to ensure that everyone was on the same page. I will honestly say that without her our day would not have come together like it did. Everyone tells you that something will inevitably go wrong regardless of how thorough your planning. Liv didn’t let that happen. The groomsmen forgot tie clips. Liv ran 5 blocks to pick up tie clips for the boys and was back before the girls even arrived at the church. Her foresight and planning were impressive but her ability to think and adjust on the fly is what made our day go off with zero issues. We cannot thank Liv enough for her help. Do yourself a favor and let Liv take it from here. Thank you again!!!

Let’s create an event that defines elegance and celebrates your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin? Some people plan weddings. Abibi Bridal created an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life. From the very beginning, they poured their hearts into making sure every detail was perfect. The months leading up to my wedding were filled with organized vendor meetings, detailed planning, personal check-ins, and countless phone calls. Through it all, Abiola became so much more than my wedding planner: she became family. She embraced me like her little sister, celebrated every milestone with me, calmed every anxious moment, and carried my heart as if it were her own. That kind of love cannot be taught; it comes from someone who is truly passionate about what they do. In the days leading up to the wedding, while I was trying to soak in every moment, Abiola and Gloria were already working tirelessly behind the scenes. They contacted every vendor, confirmed timelines, ensured paperwork was completed, and handled every detail before I even had to think about it. Because of them, I had the greatest gift a bride could ask for - peace of mind. Then came July 12. I have never felt so loved, so cared for, and so celebrated. From the moment I woke up, I wasn’t just another bride, I was treated like a queen. Something as simple as having an iced matcha bought for me to calm my nerves spoke volumes. It reminded me that they weren’t just checking off tasks; they were taking care of me. The energy that Abiola, Vanessa, Comfort, Dorcas, and Silvia brought into the room was absolutely contagious. They were full of joy, encouragement, laughter, professionalism, and excellence. They anticipated needs before anyone asked, handled every behind-the-scenes detail with grace, and made sure everything flowed effortlessly. Most importantly, they didn’t just care for me, they made every one of my bridesmaids feel seen, valued, and treated like queens as well. People often say your wedding day flies by because of all the moving parts. Mine didn’t feel stressful because Abibi Bridal carried the weight so my husband and I could simply be present. We laughed, we cried, we worshipped, we celebrated, and we created memories that will last a lifetime because they made sure everything else was taken care of. Their professionalism is unmatched. Their attention to detail is extraordinary. Their kindness is genuine. Their teamwork is beautiful. And the love they have for their couples is something you can feel in every interaction. To Abiola and the entire Abibi Bridal team: thank you for loving us so intentionally. Thank you for serving with excellence. Thank you for making me feel like family. Thank you for giving my husband and me the wedding day we prayed for and dreamed about. If it’s not Abibi Bridal, I don’t want it. July 12 will forever be one of the most beautiful days of my life, not only because I married the love of my life, but because of the incredible women who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make every single moment unforgettable. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We love you, and we will never stop singing your praises.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have asked for a smoother wedding day. When we first decided to have our ceremony and reception at two separate locations, and eventually realized we would be working with around ten different vendors, I didn’t fully understand how essential an experienced day-of coordinator would be until late in the planning process. Looking back, I’m so grateful I had the foresight to book with MB Events. I worked with Caroline, and she was truly my rock on our wedding day. She communicated clearly and consistently and brought such a calm, genuine presence that immediately put me at ease. We had a few last-minute changes with some guests who were unable to attend while another one was added at the last minute. Caroline handled everything by coordinated directly with the venue to remove chairs and add name cards without needing any prompting from me. I was extremely stressed leading up to the wedding, but in hindsight, I really didn’t need to be. Caroline had everything completely under control! We met four times before the wedding: an initial Zoom meeting, another Zoom call about three months out to review the timeline and vendors, a venue walkthrough, and the rehearsal. She was incredibly detail-oriented and always thoughtful in her approach. It was so helpful to have a professional to bounce ideas off of, and she often raised considerations I hadn’t even thought of. I truly felt like she was my safety net throughout the process. Caroline planned everything down to the minute while remaining flexible and when changes came up. I never once felt rushed, and I appreciated how down-to-earth and approachable she was. Our wedding day came together so well, and I genuinely believe MB Events was the cornerstone that made it all happen.

MK Your Dream Day

  • Serves Dorchester, MA

MK Your Dream Day began when founder and CEO, Mary Kate, was asked to be an extra set of hands at her co-worker's wedding. Having had a strong passion for events, she jumped at the opportunity and coordinated her first wedding in August 2019. Her love for wedding planning has only continued to grow over the years, helping dozens of brides have the wedding they have always dreamed of while growing a team of wedding professionals to help her do so.

Hiring MK Your Dream Day was, without question, the best investment we made for our wedding. From our very first meeting 15 months out, MK Morrissey and her team made us feel supported, heard, and genuinely excited about the planning process. MK is incredibly professional, warm, and grounded, and she set the tone for what turned out to be a completely seamless and (almost) stress-free experience. One of the biggest highlights of working with them was how easy and natural communication was throughout the entire planning process. Whether it was jumping on a call, trading emails, or collaborating on ideas, everything felt effortless. The team was always responsive, thoughtful, and truly listened to what was important for our wedding day. While they represent the epitome of professionalism in the industry, it never felt transactional, but like we were working with friends who cared deeply about making our day perfect. As our big day approached, Samantha took over as our day-of coordinator, and she was absolutely incredible. She was calm, completely organized, and handled every little detail with confidence and precision. At our rehearsal, even our wedding party couldn’t stop commenting on how impressive and in control she was—calling her a total “boss”. It was so clear that everything was under control and that gave us the freedom to truly relax and enjoy our day. We also had the pleasure of working with Kelly during the design phase and she was such a joy to collaborate with. She helped bring our vision to life in the most beautiful way and was also on-site on the day of to ensure everything was set up just as we had discussed. Knowing she was there gave us so much peace of mind! The entire MK Your Dream Day team was a dream to work with from start to finish. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel joyful, easy, and genuinely fun. If you’re looking for planners who are not only talented and professional but also kind, approachable, and a true pleasure to be around, this is the team you want by your side. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Sarah was a clear standout from all the planners we met. My initial impression of her was that she was warm, kind, and professional. She didn’t expect us to have every detail figured out and was incredibly welcoming from our very first conversation. We hired Sarah as a full-time planner, and she was always available to text, email, or chat about anything and everything. I still wanted some independence when it came to design choices, and she was very respectful of that. She is extremely organized and always came prepared—asking the best questions during vendor meetings. She also served as the main point of contact for all our vendors, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. Since we’re currently out of state but wanted our wedding in Massachusetts, Sarah went above and beyond for us. She visited all the venues we were interested in and sent us videos so we could make informed decisions from afar. I met Sarah in person for the first time on our wedding day, and immediately noticed how sweet and endearing she truly is. She exudes grace and came fully prepared with everything we could possibly need. Even though she had never worked with our venue before and the weather was unpredictable, she remained calm and composed throughout. Since we didn’t do a rehearsal, the bridal party and I felt a bit lost—like herding blind sheep! But Sarah handled it like a pro. She was always exactly where we needed her to be. Her team member Nicole was also incredible—my dress straps broke from dancing, and Nicole stitched them back good as new. I truly could not have done this without Sarah. This is your sign: book her now!

I truly wish I could upload more than 10 photos just to show how perfect CityLux Events made our wedding weekend. From big to small details - cocktail hour, signature cocktails and menu design to florals, décor, hair and makeup schedules, transportation, seating, themes, clean-up, payment, contracts, vendor coordination, and all the little details you don’t even realize go into a wedding—they thought of everything. CityLux helped us plan our intimate, 30-person, two-day wedding weekend, including our at-home ceremony, a private dinner in Boston, brunch the next morning, and an at-home hibachi celebration. From beginning to end, everything was seamless. They coordinated our vendors, seating, table placement, florals, décor, silverware, timelines, and even last-minute replacements and adjustments. Every vendor worked together, everything was on time, and not a single detail felt out of place. Our planner, Allie, was truly incredible. She went above and beyond at every step—from helping us find our amazing videographer through CityLux and offering beautiful décor recommendations to organizing meetings, managing schedules, and making sure every final detail was taken care of. She has an incredible eye, is exceptionally detail-oriented, and, above all, is such a kind and humble person. She is an executor and will get it DONE!! The greatest compliment I can give CityLux is that our wedding was the most relaxed I have ever felt hosting an event. I never imagined I would say that about my own wedding! Because Allie and the team had everything handled, we could simply be present, enjoy our families and friends, and take in every moment. They truly treated our wedding as if it were their own, and you could feel that level of care throughout the entire weekend. We have also worked with CityLux for another university board event, and the experience was equally exceptional. Their consistency across weddings, private celebrations, corporate and alumni events speaks volumes about the team and business they have built. Owners Sarah and Peter are incredibly humble, experienced, and have created something truly special. CityLux deserves to be recognized as one of Boston’s best, and we cannot wait to see them continue expanding beyond Massachusetts. We wholeheartedly recommend CityLux for everything. They don’t just plan an event—they care about it. Our wedding weekend was everything we dreamed of, and we will forever be grateful to Allie, Sarah, Peter, and the entire CityLux team for helping make it so special.

Curated Celebrations by Molly

  • Serves Dorchester, MA

I believe in the magic of a well-planned event; the way a seamless timeline and thoughtful touches can turn a day into an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s a romantic wedding, a high-intensity corporate event, or an intimate celebration I welcome the opportunity to bring the idea of an event to life.

Molly was the event planner for our son's outdoor wedding at a rural location. It came off without any snags. She brought in wonderful, reliable vendors -- the caterer set up an outdoor kitchen; the tents were put up and taken down smoothly; there were all kinds of outdoor games; there were golf carts to help folks get around, and she had an excellent day-of person. Everything was so well coordinated. She even had contingency supplies arranged in case of rain, but luckily the day was dry. We were impressed, and we got to have a worry-free day.

  • Serves Dorchester, MA

Colleen Callahan is the owner and lead planner of Toasted Host Events, a boutique wedding planning and design company serving New England and beyond. Known for creating celebrations that are deeply personal, intentional, and seamlessly executed, Colleen believes every wedding should tell a story that reflects the couple at its heart. From intimate gatherings to full-scale celebrations, she combines thoughtful logistics with elevated design to create unforgettable experiences that allow couples to be fully present on their wedding day.

About two months before the wedding, I realized I needed some extra support, and Colleen immediately stepped in to help. She worked with me to create a detailed timeline, coordinated final vendor communications, and brought so much organization and confidence to the planning process. On the wedding day, Colleen and Amy had a true “yes first” mentality. No matter what came up, they handled it with positivity, professionalism, and a smile. They took care of countless details that I never would have thought about, from coordinating flower transportation to making sure our rings and vow books got to the officiant and best man exactly when they needed to. They also did an incredible job keeping our wedding party and family members organized and where they needed to be throughout the day. Because of them, I was able to stay present, enjoy every moment, and trust that everything behind the scenes was being handled. If you’re on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, do it, and if you have the chance to work with Colleen and Amy, even better. Their support, attention to detail, and genuine care made our wedding day run seamlessly, and I am so grateful for everything they did for us.

We began meeting about a month before the big day and had weekly check in's where she made sure that I was on track and getting everything done that needed to be handled. On the day she helped my parents with set up, ensured everyone was where they needed to be and fielded all questions from vendors and guests. The guests raved about the whole experience, and as far as I know literally nothing went wrong, and if it did, Sara handled it like a pro because I never found out!

Taysia Alves found her passion for event planning when she took on her Senior Prom in high school. It started as a fun project which turned into a love and passion for seeing her visions come to life and seeing the smiles on all of her fellow classmates' faces. She started her career working at a luxury wedding dress shop then moving to planning events for several upscale hotels. The passion that she puts into her work speaks for itself. She takes every event personally, creating strong relationships with her clients in the process.

I would recommend K.A.E Events and Productions to anyone looking for a planner who knows the industry and is easy to work with.

Brittany was our wedding planner and personal attendant, and I cannot imagine our incredible day and everything leading up to it without her by my side. She thought of everything before I did, kept me in line with deadlines (which I desperately needed), provided several vendor referrals when asked, and made sure our entire wedding weekend was perfect from start to finish. Brittany handled every situation that came up with patience and grace. We have been married over 5 years, and to this day we still have friends and family that talk about how incredible our wedding was. We owe so much of that to Brittany and her organized and trustworthy support. You would be lucky to have her as part of your wedding experience!!

New England Wedding Planner and Designer A Christian, Wife, and Mom of three - Lover of all things love. My journey to wedding planning began when I planned my wedding. I was immersed in the world of Planning and Design, and a passion grew. I know what it is like to walk in the shoes of a bride who desires an unforgettable day. With an eye for beauty, attention to detail, and a Master's Degree in Business Administration, I have found my place in the world of Planning! I help modern romantics create the wedding of their dreams.

We reached out to Sabrina once we realized how overwhelming the wedding planning process was and after one call we knew we needed to book her! At that point we hired her after we booked our venue, DJ and photographers so she picked up right where we left off. She offered a partial wedding planner package that was perfect for where we were at that stage of planning. Our only regret was not booking her from the beginning!! Sabrina's services kept us organized and on track with everything we needed to do. She checked in with us every month leading up to the wedding and was always available for any calls or emails. Extremely responsive. She had so much knowledge and first hand experience with different vendors in the area that she made our lives sooo much easier in booking the remaining vendors we needed. She also put together our decor Inspo and she was SPOT ON! And she brought it to life the day of the wedding! Sabrina also handled our timelines which we would not have had the bandwidth to put together that last 1-2 months before the wedding as we were already stressed enough. Our biggest ask to Sabrina was not to have to worry about anything the day of the wedding and Sabrina team delivered on that request! Moral of the story, BOOK DEFINED LUXE EVENTS!
