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.

“Danielle Made Our Wedding Absolutely Perfect! I don’t even know where to begin in expressing how amazing Danielle was as our wedding coordinator. From the very first conversation, she brought a sense of calm, organization, and genuine care that made the entire planning process feel not so overwhelming. Danielle truly went above and beyond every step of the way. She listened to our ideas, helped create our vision, and made sure every single detail was executed flawlessly. Her communication was always clear, timely, and reassuring—and on the big day, she was nothing short of a miracle worker. Everything ran so smoothly, and we can’t thank her enough for that. Danielle has a special gift—not only for logistics and coordination but for creating a day that feels personal, magical, and completely stress-free. Our guests noticed it too—so many people told us how seamless and beautiful the day felt. We are so grateful to have had Danielle by our side. She gave us the peace of mind to fully enjoy one of the most important days of our lives.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina Vargas and the incredible role she played in making my surprise 40th birthday celebration such a memorable event. While my husband was busy coordinating family and friends who traveled from near and far to celebrate with us, Christina stepped in and handled all of the final details, immediately putting his mind at ease and allowing him to actually enjoy the occasion. From coordinating the pickup of the catered food to setting up and breaking down the entire event space, Christina ensured everything ran seamlessly. Throughout the evening, she continuously checked on the room, tidied up, and kept everything organized so guests could focus on enjoying themselves rather than worrying about logistics. She also took charge of all the decorations and created a beautiful balloon and signage backdrop that became the perfect place for photos with family and friends. It was such a thoughtful touch and gave us a special space to capture memories from an unforgettable milestone birthday. She carefully arranged the flow of the room so there was plenty of space for guests to mingle comfortably while still creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. What impressed us most was her ability to handle unexpected challenges without hesitation. Just before the event, my husband discovered that the room's audio system was not working. Rather than letting it become a problem, Christina immediately jumped into action, left the venue, purchased a JBL speaker using my husband's card, and returned in time to ensure the music and announcements went off without a hitch. Her quick thinking and dedication ensured that no detail was overlooked. Christina's professionalism, organization, creativity, and willingness to go above and beyond made all the difference. She treated our celebration as if it were her own and helped create a stress-free experience that our family and friends are still talking about. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about making an event special.”

Without A Hitch 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Offers 1 service

  • Serves Essex, MA

Sarah has been planning events of all sizes for nearly 20 years. Her background in planning events started in the nonprofit industry in 2004, when she was responsible for coordinating the annual Shake it for Shelter fundraising event at COMPASS for Kids for several years. At Cradles to Crayons, Sarah oversaw all of the organization's signature events, including the 700-person annual Backpack-a-thon and the largest fundraiser of the year, the "Un-Gala". Sarah also worked at Facing History and Ourselves, where she planned their annual 900-person benefit dinner and advised their ten company offices on event strategy and execution.

“When we started wedding planning, the only thing I knew for sure was that I wanted day-of coordination support. After we toured Olio and met Sarah, booking with her team at Without A Hitch was a no brainer and truly worth every penny. Our coordinator, Allison, supported us all along the way; no question was too big or too small. Her responses were timely, infinitely useful, and a massive weight off of our shoulders throughout the entire process. We leaned on many of her recommendations for vendors, including some of our very favorite wedding components like the arcade games we set up for guests and our awesome DJ. As we got closer to the event, it became clear just how great our choice was to work with Allison and Without a Hitch, they kept us (and our many, many vendors!) organized and I felt confident our day would go to plan. Allison was encouraging, kind, and even helped up coordinate an epic visit from Santa Claus to surprise our guests on the dance floor. The Without a Hitch team was so professional and couple-oriented, I could really tell they wanted us to have the experience we were looking for, and put us first throughout the process. We couldn't have done it without them!”

Hi there! I'm Victoria and I am the Owner and Event Planner at Juniper Lane Design. I've loved creating experiences and hosting events since I was young and that inspired me to start wedding planning full time. I enjoy creating unforgettable experiences for guests and I'm excited to come up with an event design that is as unique as your love story!

“Victoria was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we started working with her, my husband and I felt like we were in incredibly capable hands. She took a huge weight off our shoulders by helping us think through, organize, and refine all of the small details that can easily get overlooked during wedding planning. One of the most helpful parts of the process was the detailed Google Sheet she provided. It guided us through important decisions and logistics we hadn't even considered yet, and looking back, we're so grateful those details were addressed ahead of time. By the wedding weekend, we had a clear understanding of what to expect and exactly what we could rely on Victoria to handle. She also proactively coordinated with our venue manager to clarify responsibilities and ensure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. That level of organization and communication gave us so much confidence going into the day. One thing that especially impressed us was her eye for design and attention to detail. We weren't able to provide detailed instructions for exactly how we wanted every décor item arranged, but Victoria took what we had envisioned and executed it beautifully. Everything felt thoughtful, intentional, and cohesive. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful everything looked, and we truly credit her for bringing all of those pieces together so seamlessly. Beyond her professionalism, Victoria is genuinely warm, positive, and a joy to be around. She made everyone feel welcome and navigated family dynamics thoughtfully and gracefully during both the rehearsal and wedding day. Her calm presence and infectious positivity helped keep everyone at ease. It's hard to feel overwhelmed when Victoria is by your side because you know she's taking care of things. We were able to be fully present and enjoy our wedding day knowing she had everything under control, and our guests had an amazing time as a result. We can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you for everything!”

“At first, I was skeptical of hiring a day of coordinator as I am very organized and was pretty comfortable planning our day on my own. My main reason for hiring a day of coordinator was to not have to worry, to have someone who will help set-up things the way I would, and someone who I can count on to have all the answers for everyone else. Ayden went above and beyond. She is so calm and put together, she helped me more than I can put into words! We had a large wedding of 160 people with a good amount of intricate details. We also had rain that caused our entire ceremony to be switched a few hours before the start time. Ayden handled everything seamlessly. I seriously could not recommend her enough. She made sure my husband and I got wedding cake and extra dessert brought to our room with water for us at the end of the night. She is extremely kind and knowledgeable but encourages you to give your opinions and speak up. I also appreciated that Ayden had to make some executive decisions on her own like moving our LED sign where there wasn't a plug how I originally wanted it, she didn't stress me out with this question, she just handled it and made everything look amazing. I could not recommend her enough, we were so lucky to work with Ayden. I wish we could relive our wedding all over again with Ayden's help!”

“I cannot say enough about working with Brittany S Events for special event coordination! We hosted my baby shower at the Bedford Village Inn for 80 guests and needed additional help with set-up and timing to ensure the event ran smoothly. Brittany was instrumental in both the development of the timeline for the big day and executing the decor and program day-of. She was the perfect person to gut check how long speeches, games, food service, etc. would take and create a timeline for the event that put our guests enjoyment first. Brittany arrived right on time for set-up and flawlessly followed the intricate decor plan we had crafted. Having her there made the shower more enjoyable for me as I was able to relax as a guest and know that she was handling any backend questions that popped up with the venue team. Not only that, but Brittany made sure I always had a (non-alcoholic) drink in hand and was wonderful about capturing some special moments throughout the day. If you get the chance to work with Brittany for any special event, do it!”

“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.”

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!

“Liv was amazing and I cannot recommend her enough! She was so on top of things, and that's coming from my extreme type-A self. If you are looking for someone with a "don't worry, I got this" approach and who delivers, BOOK LIV! Even if you think you have everything accounted for, you don't, but Liv does! Liv truly stepped up for the ceremony to make sure all of our requests happened, even with changes happening the day before. The reception was perfect and Liv made sure our vision became a reality. I brought a lot of extra decor so I'm sure it was not easy to set everything up, but Liv made it happen! I was able to enjoy the day and not fret about details. From venue changes to outfit changes to specifically timed songs to props - everything was coordinated perfectly. We cannot thank Liv enough for our wedding weekend :)”

“Shweta and her team were absolutely amazing! I was a little worried about setup because we had quite a bit of decor and some complicated arrangements, but everything turned out perfectly. Her team was so organized, resourceful, and great at problem-solving. We even accidentally forgot a box of decor for one of our tables, and they rearranged everything so beautifully that you would never have known anything was missing! They were also incredibly fast and efficient with breakdown at the end of the night, and we truly couldn't have done it without them. On top of that, Shweta was always quick to respond to messages and questions in the weeks leading up to the wedding, which made the planning process so much easier. We are so grateful for everything she and her team did to make our day run smoothly. I would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a fantastic day-of coordinator!”

“Hiring Jessica and the Pine Events Co. team for design and planning was the best decision we made for our wedding! We got married at Brooklyn Steel in Williamsburg — a first for the venue — and from our very first meeting through the wedding day, Jessica completely understood our vision. She handled every twist and turn of vendor management with professionalism and a positive, can-do attitude. Every detail — from the timeline and floor plan to décor and vendor logistics — was executed flawlessly. Jessica and her team transformed a raw music venue into a stunning, one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony and reception space. She’s incredibly creative and resourceful, finding ways to bring our Pinterest vision board to life. For example, I had fallen in love with a floral tablecloth that was far outside our rental budget, and Jessica managed to source it herself — it became the centerpiece for our sweetheart table and the color inspiration for all our flowers and décor. The PEC team also designed beautiful displays for our merchandise stand (leaning into the concert theme) and our cards and gifts table, adding so many thoughtful touches throughout the day. Behind the scenes, Jessica and her team handled everything with such grace and professionalism that we were able to be fully present and enjoy the moment. Our family and friends couldn’t stop commenting on how seamless and magical everything felt! We can’t recommend Pine Events Co. enough — they made our dream wedding possible.”
