I can’t recommend Victoria enough! I reached out to her nearly two years ago with what I thought was a “laundry list” of questions, and I’ll be honest—I was skeptical at first about hiring a wedding planner. I wasn’t sure if it would be worth the investment. But Victoria immediately put my worries to rest with her detailed, thoughtful responses. From that very first interaction, I knew she was the right choice. I initially booked her vendor package, where she scheduled and coordinated all of our vendors, but eventually upgraded to include decor and other little details because, honestly, wedding planning can get overwhelming! Victoria was my rock throughout the entire process—especially in the week leading up to our big day. As someone who tends to overthink, having her there to guide me, reassure me, and manage the details was priceless. On our wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. Victoria’s attention to detail and calm presence ensured that the day was as perfect as we had imagined. My only regret? Not snapping a photo with her amidst all the excitement! If you’re considering a wedding planner, Victoria is worth every penny. She doesn’t just plan weddings—she creates an experience that allows you to truly enjoy your day without stress

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!! Just to top it all off at the very end of the evening my husband accidentally left his keys behind and Abby drove out of the way to drop them off at our after party. Thank you Abby for everything!!

There are not enough "thank yous" to express our gratitude for what Valerie helped us tackle on our wedding day. Truly the best decision we made in the wedding planning process was choosing her as our day-of-coordinator. From the moment we connected with Valerie, she was professional, warm and such a delight to work with! Our meetings were always productive and fun, which helped us enjoy the wedding planning process instead of dreading it. Any worry or stressor that we had leading up to the day was always addressed and taken care of. She made sure to connect with all of our vendors and on the day of, when there were so many moving parts and details to consider, she was always on top of it! Even when Spanish could have been a language barrier, she did not let that stop her from executing this day. She remained a calming force when I felt overwhelmed and we were able to enjoy every second of this amazing day all thanks to her! Valerie was a joy to work with and our families loved her!

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.

It was an absolutely beautiful journey with Abiola and her team. There truly aren’t enough words to express our gratitude, but we’ll start with this: From our very first call, we knew we were in great hands. Abiola wasn’t just focused on logistics; she genuinely wanted to know us—our story, our values, and our vision. We still remember receiving our first care package and affectionately calling Abiola our “Fairy Godmother.” She gave us the right tools and encouragement for the journey ahead. From rehearsal to our wedding day, Abiola and her team didn’t miss a single detail or moment—they celebrated with us as if it were their own wedding. We planned a Haitian wedding with nearly 50 vendors, a wedding party of almost 30 people, two locations (church and reception), and a long list of moving parts in 7 months. You can only imagine the level of organization, communication, patience, and discipline required to execute such a day flawlessly! Yet Abibi Bridal exceeded every expectation—not only for us but also for our families, friends, and vendors. Thanks to them, we carry countless happy memories. They lifted the heavy load off our shoulders and replaced it with peace, joy, and the ability to be fully present in every moment. Because of Abibi Bridal, our wedding became the unforgettable beginning of a legacy that generations after us will remember. If you’re searching for a wedding planner or coordinator, take it from us—Maxine and Marc—who experienced Abibi Bridal both as guests and as bride and groom: you will regret not having them by your side. We thank God for Abibi Bridal and her incredible team, who truly serve with excellence, heart, and grace. Abiola, Gloria, Silvia, Comfort, and Dorcas—thank you so much for your gifts, your talents, and for serving us and our loved ones beyond anything we could have imagined.

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.

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!

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).

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.

"Gisele is an absolutely amazing party planner! If you can dream it, she can bring it to life. Whether it's a wedding, graduation, or a milestone birthday—like my mom's 50th—Gisele goes above and beyond. My mom has had a tough time lately, and I wanted to make her birthday extra special. Gisele’s effort, patience, and dedication were incredible. She dedicated a lot of time to making sure my mom's birthday party was a success. What impressed me most was her ability to accommodate all my wants while staying within my budget. Gisele pays attention to every little detail, and her work is truly exceptional. I feel so lucky to have met her; she’s a beautiful, kind, and sweet woman. I can’t wait to plan more parties with Gisele in the future, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to take the stress out of hosting and make their special day more enjoyable!"
