Eileen Smith Events 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Offers 5 services
  • Serves East Canaan, CT

Her experience, creativity & knowledge in the event industry puts her ahead of most in the area. She loves creating and working with clients on all levels to make their vision become a reality. "I love getting to know my clients and enjoy becoming their "New Best Friend" prior to the event.". Her talent in design, organization, and management makes any experience working with her effortless. She makes you feel so comfortable & give you the confidence it will be an amazing event.

Eileen was amazing as our wedding planner / month-of coordinator. Both my husband and I were SO glad we hired her. Eileen helped us make so many decisions during the planning process that led to an extremely smooth wedding day - from where the bar was located to how we processed down the aisle, from whether to do cake or a dessert bar, to when champagne was poured - she really nailed it. She also worked with all of our vendors to coordinate setup and was onsite to help make sure everything was set up correctly & as planned. Everyone jokes that something *always* goes wrong on your wedding day, no matter how much you plan, but really we had nothing go wrong thanks to Eileen! She made our day stress-free! It's also important to call out that our venue wedding coordinator quit a couple of weeks before our wedding, and Eileen stepped up and swooped in to make sure our new point of contact at the venue was fully up-to-speed. Thank god for Eileen! I highly recommend her. And if you're on the fence about needing a wedding coordinator -- just take the leap! SO SO worth it.

Amethyst Events by Amanda

  • Serves East Canaan, CT

I am a mom of 5 year old twin girls. I am always running around and it is very hard for me stay still. Having planned my own wedding in 2015 it really opened my eye in how much I love the industry. I also know the stress that goes along with it and not having the help when needed. No couple should ever have to go through it on their own and that is what I am here for. Let's plan together!

Working with Amethyst Events by Amanda was a game-changer for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Amanda listened to what we wanted and wasn't afraid to work with our ideas, even when we brought her something unconventional like moving our family furniture for our outdoor setup. She stayed in constant contact with us throughout the planning process and made sure every detail we discussed made it into her notes. On the day of the wedding, everything was executed flawlessly—the setup was perfect and all those little touches we talked about were there waiting for our guests. Amanda's reliability and attention to follow-through took so much stress off our shoulders. We'd recommend her to any couple looking for a planner who truly listens and delivers!

Green Apple Weddings & Events

  • Serves East Canaan, CT

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking. Kate desired to help couples cultivate weddings that truly reflected them and not just what bridal magazines, their future mother-in-law or high school frenemy said they just HAD to do. The literal and financial waste she witnessed going into weddings because of something “someone” said the couple HAD to have made Kate feel incredibly uncomfortable. Kate saw a need for a more eco-friendly approach to event planning.

Kate and Jen of Green Apple Weddings are an amazing wedding planning team! As a professional wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of working with them on a number of their clients’ beautiful weddings in Manhattan, the Hudson Valley and in the Berkshires. They have excellent design taste, are very organized and detail-oriented. They are kind and approachable too, making them the perfect planners to reach out to for your wedding!

  • Serves East Canaan, CT

Love Is Art Designs is a boutique wedding planning and design studio dedicated to creating elevated, intentional celebrations that feel as meaningful as they are beautiful. Blending thoughtful planning with refined artistry, we guide our couples through every step of the process ensuring a seamless, stress-free experience from first vision to final farewell.

At the heart of our work is the belief that your wedding should feel effortless, immersive, and unmistakably yours.

The Best Wedding Planner We Could Have Asked For! We hired Jasmena at LOVEISARTDESIGNS to plan, design, and decorate our micro wedding on May 8, 2026, at Kips Castle, followed by a private dinner at Oceanos. She was truly the best wedding planner we could have asked for! From the beginning, Jasmena was organized, attentive, and dedicated to making our day everything we dreamed of. She held weekly meetings leading up to the wedding and created detailed documents for timelines, setup and breakdown, vendors, florals, and every decor detail. She even made a 2D mockup of our ceremony decor! She truly made sure every detail we wanted was included. She went above and beyond by touring Kips Castle with us and returning on her own to take photos and fully understand the layout. Her attention to detail was incredible. Our ceremony was supposed to be outside so we could enjoy the grass, trees, and castle views. Unfortunately, it rained, but Jasmena and her team were absolute rockstars! They quickly moved everything inside the castle and made the ceremony beautiful despite the unexpected change. It turned out so lovely, even though it wasn’t what we originally planned. Throughout the day, Jasmena kept me updated without ever being bothersome. She was supportive, and her entire team was sweet and kind. Everyone was wonderful to work with. One of my favorite moments was when we thought we had misplaced my husband’s boutonniere at the hotel, only to find out Jasmena already had it at the ceremony venue! She was always one step ahead. The dinner at Oceanos was absolutely beautiful. Jasmena decorated everything perfectly with draping, gold accents, and florals. It was elegant, romantic, and exactly the atmosphere we wanted for our intimate celebration. The food and drinks were also amazing once they finally came out! The only area I felt could have been better was the dinner timeline and coordination with the restaurant. Unfortunately, the food took much longer than expected, possibly close to two hours, and everyone was getting hungry. Some guests had children and long drives home, so it became stressful seeing the night run so late. I also found myself having to initiate a few things, like my dad blessing our marriage and the food, as well as the cake cutting. I would have loved for the dinner timeline to be more firmly established and followed by the team, with more pressure on the restaurant staff to get things moving. I understand the restaurant delays were outside of Jasmena’s control, and this was a small part of an otherwise amazing experience. Other than that, our wedding was absolutely beautiful, and I loved everything! Jasmena truly was a rockstar for planning our wedding in such little time. She planned, sourced vendors, designed, decorated, coordinated, and executed everything so beautifully, even when unexpected obstacles came up. If you are looking for someone creative, organized, hardworking, thoughtful, and genuinely dedicated to bringing your vision to life, I would 100% recommend LOVEISARTDESIGNS. Jasmena, thank you for making our wedding day so beautiful and unforgettable. I would absolutely hire you again in a heartbeat!

Working with Angel was truly one of the greatest joys of our entire wedding planning process. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely seen, heard, and supported in every way. She has a remarkable gift for helping you put words to your vision—even when you're not totally sure what that vision is yet! Angel took all of our ideas, hopes, and even our uncertainties, and turned them into something more beautiful and seamless than we ever could have imagined. She was absolutely integral to our wedding—there’s no question that our most special day turned out as perfectly as it did because of her. Every step of the way, Angel brought a calm confidence, unmatched professionalism, and the kind of creative insight that only comes with true passion and experience. She not only helped us plan our dream day, but made sure we felt cared for throughout the entire journey. Honestly, we miss talking with her all the time! Her day-of team was just as amazing—extremely professional, kind, attentive, and so in tune with everything happening behind the scenes. Thanks to them, we were able to be fully present and enjoy the day without a single worry. Their organization and warmth did not go unnoticed, and we are so incredibly grateful for their support. Angel is a one-of-a-kind wedding planner, and we truly cannot recommend her and her team highly enough.

There aren’t enough words to express how incredibly grateful we are for Evelyn and the team at Love & Laughter Weddings!

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!

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.

One of the big pieces of advice my husband and I first received from married friends was to hire a wedding planner/coordinator and we are SO happy we went with the Merry by Mia team for our May 2024 wedding at Audrey’s Farmhouse! Mia and her team are top-notch, and are incredibly knowledgeable about our venue, to boot! While Merry by Mia bill themselves as “day-of coordinators”, their support really started months before our wedding. From the moment we jumped on our first call with Mia, we knew her team was right for us. She was so warm and excited for us, and was willing to answer any questions we had via phone call, email, and over “office hours” that she hosts on weekends for any couple her team is supporting - even if their “day-of” services haven’t technically started yet. When we weren’t sure about our wedding timeline for the day of, Mia sent us a sample timeline from another May wedding her team had coordinated at our same venue from a previous year. When we had questions about our officiant’s script, Mia sent us the skeleton script she had used when she officiated a wedding, complete with sentence starters for different vows. When we were struggling to find HMU artists who worked with diverse wedding parties, Mia sent us suggestions - one of which we booked and were so so happy with! When we were debating what late-night food to get our guests, Mia said she still dreamed of the Audrey’s team’s chicken fingers…and so of course we went with the chicken fingers - and guess what our guests still talk about?! These are just some of the many examples of how much we really relied on Mia’s expertise and support in the months leading up to the wedding, and how she continually went above and beyond. When it came to our actual wedding coordination, Mia let us know that she wouldn’t be available, and so we’d be working with her colleague Sara, who had actually coordinated Mia’s own wedding. Sara, too, was incredible. From about three months out from the wedding, Sara was in constant contact with us about upcoming vendor deadlines, helping us organize our final timeline, floor plans, and vendor COIs. She liaised with our venue when we had additional questions, and sent us resources for all sorts of things, from figuring out how to get our officiant (a family member) ordained to locating websites where we could generate wedding crosswords for free. Sara assisted us both on the rehearsal night, making sure things went smoothly, and the wedding day. She immediately connected with my family when we arrived, putting my parents at ease, and was wonderfully calm, steady, and supportive on the day of the wedding, from helping set up our tables and making sure all signage was placed appropriately, to helping me get a pollen stain out of my wedding dress with stain remover from her all-encompassing emergency kit, to arranging for an extra seat for a surprise guest who showed up, to getting band-aids and my husband’s and my dancing shoes (Nike Dunks) to us during dinner after my husband developed a blister from his loafers, to packing our decor back up at the end of the night. Mia and Sara had assured us that on the day of the wedding, all the planning we’d done together would pay off and we wouldn’t have to stress about a thing - and I can say our wedding was truly stress-free. Both Mia and Sara ended up feeling like friends by the end of this process, and I am so so glad we put our wedding in their hands.

Abiola and her team at ABIBI Bridal were nothing short of phenomenal! As a type-A person, I tend to get anxious about the details, but Dacia worked her magic to keep me calm, stress-free, and fully present throughout the day. And Francis—wow, what can I say? The groom and his groomsmen couldn’t stop raving about him. He brought the perfect energy, kept the guys entertained, and made sure everyone was having a blast. Haitian weddings are famously known to run late, but Abiola made sure we started on time—this was a huge priority for me, and she nailed it! From the moment I met Abiola, I knew I was in the best hands. She flawlessly managed our large wedding party (35 people, no less!) without even breaking a sweat. Her attention to detail and calm under pressure made everything run like clockwork. I may not be getting married again, but if Abibi Bridal ever expands into other types of events, you better believe I’ll be booking them! They bring the vibes, the love, the fun, and of course, all the beautiful content. Thank you, Abibi Bridal, for making our day unforgettable. You guys are the absolute best!

Words cannot express how thankful my husband and I are for Rye Street Events! Caroline was absolutely amazing to work with. She was sooo personable, punctual and professional and friendly right from the very start. I knew we made the right decision from the beginning with her very fast response time. We chose to do month-of coordination for our wedding and Caroline met with us ahead of time to explain her role prior to us deciding to go with her. She ensured that our wedding rehearsal was organized and kept everyone on track, and that our wedding day was as smooth as possible, she took care of all the bumps, when we were running behind she was quick on her feet to move things around to keep us on schedule without feeling stressed. I cant thank Caroline and her assistant Maddie enough for their help making our wedding day truly unforgettable. They even broke everything down and helped us to clear out the venue when the wedding was over which was such a HUGE help! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Rye Street Events and am so thankful that I can across them. You will not be disappointed!

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.

THANK YOU DANIELLE! We could not have pulled off the most perfect day without her. I have been recommending her to all of my friends in the wedding planning stage because she so beyond worth it. Me and my husband think so highly of Danielle because she made planning easy, relaxing, and fun, which is not the experience many of my friends have had. Most importantly, she made sure the wedding ran so smoothly that my husband and I could be fully in the moment and enjoy every second of our wedding. We did not have to lift a finger! For the type A people debating if they could relinquish planning to someone else...let this be your sign that you can and should! I typically plan everything (trips into PowerPoints with rain plans, alternate forms of transportation, etc) so I was worried having a planner would be hard for me. I could not have been more wrong. Danielle does so much work behind the scenes and is so proactive that I knew I could fully relax. I am so grateful we hired her. I had complete confidence she had every detail and its plan b planned. She is a great communicator and you can tell she loves what she does. All the vendors at my wedding (photographer, makeup artists, venue coordinator, etc) had commented about how Danielle was so on top of everything, communicated well & early, went above and beyond compared to any other planner they had ever worked with. So this review is both from very happy customers and very happy wedding vendors. Danielle was very easy to connect with and kept it real. If she thought something wasn’t a good idea, not worth it, etc she would tell you and that’s how she quickly built trust and made sure we stayed within budget. On the day of the wedding we had two big issues come up (not her fault) and I did not even bat an eye because I knew Danielle was on it. First issue was the hotel had given one of our suites up for getting ready in. In less than an hour, we had keys to both of the suites we had booked. Our shuttle for the wedding also did not show up. Luckily, guests were able to get to the venue. In the background, Danielle was finding alternative options for transportation. At the end of the night the shuttle showed up and she ensured they not only brought people back to the hotel and after party, but also back from the after party when the bar closed. After the wedding, we was able to get us a refund after HOURS of calling the shuttle company. Danielle is someone who will go to bat for you, has years of experience, and is so good she even had a Type A bride feel totally relaxed on the wedding day. Thank you for everything!

Katelynn made the planning of our wedding a pleasure. She was organized, always upbeat, has a great network, excellent ideas, yet not afraid to push back when needed. She kept the process moving along which allowed us to mostly enjoy the whole thing. She set us up for an amazing wedding, more beautiful than we could have even imagined.

E & A Events is a modern, elegant event planning company specializing in thoughtfully curated weddings, elopements, and celebrations of all sizes. With a personalized approach and an eye for detail, we turn your vision into an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand affair, we’re here to make every moment seamless, stylish, and uniquely yours.

Elizabeth at E&A Events was the PERFECT solution! I engaged her right away and used her Day of Coordination package which was honestly SO affordable and SO MUCH help to me and to the bride. She worked with us in preparing for the wedding, solved all of our concerns and unknowns as she is so familiar with weddings and how things “should go” and what pitfalls to be aware of.  She was very flexible and all about working with my daughter’s vision for the wedding day, including helping with updates to timelines etc. On the day of, even though the venue provided a “coordinator”, it was so necessary to have someone there who was all about me as the mother of the bride and all about the bride and her day.  Elizabeth was all over the venue throughout the ceremony and reception, making sure things were being handled and staying on track with our wishes;  if there was any issue, she was on it and this allowed me to relax and enjoy the day! Hands down - the best part of the entire support that Elizabeth provided was offered AFTER the event ended;  she stayed long after and made sure that all the centerpieces were broken down and all of the decor was stashed away in one place so we could easily go pick it up the following day.  And this was packing up centerpieces with 28 floating candles on two separate floors — I was having nightmares of having to empty all those vases, but Elizabeth made it so easy! She is friendly, organized and persistent — there is no reason whatsoever to not invest in her support for your wedding or any event — but especially a wedding … this one day can be so expensive - she ensures that nothing goes wrong and you can just enjoy your special day.  HIGHLY recommend her!

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).
