Hey there! My name is Victoria and what I love the most is helping people plan their special events and taking on the heavy organizational burden, so they can focus on enjoying their day. Whether it's a wedding, a birthday, or a holiday party, I'm passionate about creating an experience that is tailored to each client's unique needs and preferences. In my free time, I love practicing yoga, reading books, rewatching Harry Potter, and snuggling my Corgi (if he lets me). Let's work together to create an unforgettable experience that will leave you and your guests with lasting memories!

Victoria has a real talent - she is professional, thorough, has a sharp eye for detail, and above all, she is empathetic and kind. It was such a relief for me to put my trust in her on my wedding day - it made me more present and able to live in the moment because I knew whatever happened, she’d be there! From setting up the reception area to making sure I always had a drink in my hand, she was there for me. It was great to bounce ideas off of her in the wedding planning process, and everything came together flawlessly. I truly couldn’t have done it without her.

Working with Lauren Bek has been nothing short of outstanding. She’s the kind of party planner who makes everything feel effortless—even though you know how much time, thought, and detail she’s putting in behind the scenes. Her level of organization is second to none, and she always seems two steps ahead, anticipating needs before they even come up. On top of her professionalism, she brings a genuine warmth and friendliness that puts everyone at ease. She doesn’t just “plan events”—she cares deeply about making each one a success, and it shows in the way she treats her clients, vendors, and guests alike. That combination of skill, heart, and reliability is rare, and it makes her stand out in the industry. If you’re looking for someone who will handle your event with precision while also making the entire process enjoyable, Lauren is exactly who you want on your team.

As a future bride planning my own destination wedding in Mexico, I understand firsthand how exciting, and sometimes overwhelming, wedding planning can be. With a passion for creating seamless celebrations and an eye for the details that matter most, I help couples navigate every step with confidence and ease. From coordination, decor assistance or hourly event support, We deliver personalized guidance, thoughtful organization, and dependable expertise tailored to your unique vision. My goal is to take the stress off your shoulders so you can be fully present, and enjoy a celebration that feels effortless and unforgettable.

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
  • Starts at $3,500
  • 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!

Words cannot express how happy and grateful we are to have come across Kelsey Correia as our wedding planner. As two physicians in training, we did not have a lot of time or energy to put into finding vendors and organizing our big day. Kelsey could not have been more perfect - she is very experienced, thoughtful, a good listener, flexible, creative and so fun to work with! After one brief meeting, she understood exactly our vision and hopes for our wedding. She kept us organized and made us aware of many details we didn't even realize that we'd need to plan for. All of the vendors she recommended were excellent - so talented, responsive, affordable and great to work with! She is clearly well regarded by the vendor community. Our wedding day exceeded our expectations and honestly was perfect, really in large part to Kelsey. Everything ran perfectly the entire weekend. It was so wonderful to just be present and enjoy the weekend, and not have to worry about anything. She even protected us during cocktail hour and the reception to make sure we could enjoy the fantastic food at our venue! I would strongly recommend Kelsey as a planner! She made the whole planning process fun, organized and not stressful. Our families kept telling us over and over again how shocked they were that we were not more stressed leading up to the wedding. It's because Kelsey had thought and planned for everything in advance, so we felt in control and calm. Our wedding was truly magical and we could not be happier with how it turned out

I can’t say enough good things about Ayden! I hired her later in the planning process, and my only regret is not hiring her sooner. She truly kept me sane on my wedding day. From quickly bustling my dress so I could get back to the party, to even helping my dad fix the hem of his pants—she went above and beyond in every way. My venue went through three different coordinators in the span of a year (something I never thought would happen, especially at such a nice hotel in Maine). The communication was a nightmare, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Ayden. She was relentless in trying to get in contact with someone when I simply didn’t have the time—I work a full-time, demanding job—and I didn’t even hear from the venue until about three weeks before my wedding. We still had timeline issues that needed immediate attention, and Ayden took charge. She finally got me in touch with the general manager, and things smoothed out from there. By the time the wedding arrived, I was so burnt out that I gave Ayden very little direction on how to set up some of my decorative pieces—and she absolutely nailed it. Everything looked wonderful and exactly how I had envisioned it (if not better). She kept me on schedule, executed every detail perfectly, and made the day feel effortless. I know wedding planning is expensive, but the stress and anxiety are just not worth the hassle. Having Ayden there was truly priceless. She is calm, collected, and incredibly detail-oriented—exactly the person you want by your side on your wedding day. If you’re on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, let this be your sign—Ayden is absolutely incredible!

My husband and I hired Madison as our day of coordinator. We did not hire a florist and ended up doing a lot of DIY projects for our wedding decor. We really wanted a professional to help us with setup and take-down of decor on the wedding day, so as not to burden our family/friends and take them away from the event to help. Madison was so friendly in the months leading up to the wedding and offered us lots of helpful advice on things we didn't even think to prepare for, like arranging seating charts and timing of processional songs. Our original venue coordinator ended up having to move away just a couple weeks before our wedding day, and Madison took the lead in syncing with the new venue coordinator on all the things we'd talked about. This really helped us out and took a load off our plate in those last few weeks before the wedding! The day of, she came early to the venue and, like a fairy godmother, had incorporated all of our decorations beautifully before we even arrived, so we were able to take lots of photos beforehand! Throughout the event, she cleverly found ways to repurpose some of our decor items to give them a second life, like setting reception flower arrangements along the room's bookshelves to dress them up for the ceremony, making a beautiful display with our ceremony roses and boutonnieres on our memory table, and using me and my bridesmaids' bouquets to create a beautiful sweetheart table arrangement! We were so incredibly thrilled with how well Madison and her team were able to follow our vision and exceed our expectations. A final sweet memory I have from near the end of the night - my hair was getting very tangled with my dress buttons on my back from dancing, and I was overheating and sweaty. Madison and her team arranged my hair into a beautiful low bun style so I could go back and have fun dancing again without worrying about it tangling further or looking bad. :) I'm so thankful we hired Madison as our day of coordinator, and we can't recommend her enough!!

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.

Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, her communication was effortless, and her organization made the entire planning process surprisingly enjoyable. On the day itself, she was everywhere and nowhere at once, managing logistics like a maestro while letting us stay fully present in the joy of the moment. Our guests commented on how perfectly the day flowed and how beautifully personal it felt. She didn’t just plan a wedding; she orchestrated an experience that reflected who we are and made it shine brighter than we imagined.

HIRE CASSIE!!! There are so many reasons to hire Cassie, including that she is absolutely a lovely human being, but it really boils down to she will make your whole wedding better, both from your perspective and your guests’. We were definitely that overly anxious couple who thought about eloping at every other decision. Cassie greatly reduced the stress on our plates by doing all the research so we could actually enjoy making the decisions and envisioning our day. Anything we didn’t absolutely love, Cassie would come back to us with new options, helping to fine tune the vision so the day perfectly fit us. When we were worried we were behind schedule or over budget, Cassie and her phenomenal organizational skills always helped reassure us of the timeline and that we were in fact coming in under budget for our wedding. And she did all of this while we lived in California, planning our Massachusetts wedding. At one point during the process, my partner,Cassie, and I were in three different states, but she always found the time to meet and made sure she was always available for us. The day of the wedding, we got so much feedback from our parents and the bridal party that they have never seen a wedding run so smoothly. Even the hairstylist noted she had never seen a bridal party so relaxed and on schedule. At our wedding, with Cassie handling all the day-of coordination, we were able to simply be guests of honor and enjoy the evening. Our wedding ended up being beyond our wildest dreams and it is really all thanks to Cassie.

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!!!

Abibi Bridal made our wedding day look and feel so easy and special. They were like superheroes, handling everything with professionalism and care. We contacted them just 3 months before our wedding on 10/09, but they made our dream wedding happen in that short period of time. Abibi Bridal is simply amazing - I would recommend them a million times over. We are so happy and grateful for all their hard work in making our special day perfect.

On June 24, 2023, Molly married her best friend at Bellevue Golf Club, her workplace and favorite venue. Planning her own wedding from start to finish revealed a true passion for events.

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.

My wife and I worked with Danielle at a venue and she was so fantastic, we followed her from one venue to the other. We were so interested to work with her, we sought her out. The building, the amenities and the food…important? I guess… but not as important as the person who is going to help you keep the event on the rails, be in your corner the whole time and do everything she can to make your day the best it can be. Someone once told me, “a bunch of things are gonna go sideways on your day, you’ll know, but no one else will. Just enjoy the whole thing.” Danielle made sure to make our day as perfect as it really turned out to be. It was 5 years ago and people still comment on the day.

We worked alongside Valerie on a two-day styled wedding photo shoot, and she truly blew us away. She planned the event from top to bottom, and it was absolutely incredible. Valerie’s organization, attention to detail, and creative vision made the entire process seamless, fun, and exciting. The final product was beyond dreamy and completely Pinterest-worthy. Both styled weddings were personal, tasteful, and beautifully executed. As a vendor, we wholeheartedly recommend Valerie to all of our couples looking to make their wedding day an absolute dream come true. She is fun, energetic, and organized! An absolute pleasure to work with!

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.

Hunt Creative Events, headed up by principal Anna Hunt, is a small team of dedicated women who are passionate about executing our clients vision, sometimes more than they are! We take on a limited number of full service events each year, in order to give our full attention to those clients from engagement day (or day 1 of planning your *deeply* fabulous holiday gala), through the final moments of break down when the day comes to a close.

Working with Anna at Hunt Creative Events was an absolute dream from start to finish. I interviewed multiple planners but after our call I knew that she was the one to help bring our dream wedding weekend to life. She planned multiple events for our wedding weekend and executed every single one flawlessly. Each design she created perfectly reflected our vision—from the color palettes and linens to the smallest details, everything felt cohesive, elegant, and personal. What really stood out was how well Anna knows her vendors! Her relationships and expertise made every decision smoother, and she guided us toward choices that were both beautiful and practical. Despite searching high and low for vendors myself, Anna somehow always knew the perfect vendor I didn’t find that fit everything we were looking for. She always had our best interests in mind and went above and beyond to make sure everything came together seamlessly. Beyond her planning and design skills, Anna was a calming and supportive presence for the two years we worked with her. She helped us navigate family dynamics with grace and understanding. By the end of the process, she wasn’t just our planner, she became our friend. We truly couldn’t imagine our wedding without her and can’t recommend her highly enough! (The last photo is of us hugging! To say we love Anna is an understatement!)
