Why weddings? Why events? Well, love, of course. I am a hopeless romantic who has a knack for theatre and a love for organization. So....voila! Wedding planner. I am the stage manager to your special day and I do it because I absolutely love it. I love love. I love family time and the important connections that are the fabric of our very being and certainly our important life moments.

Kayla helped enormously in planning and organizing my daughter's bat mitzvah. I was feeling a bit over my head in planning the event. I probably started too late, and Kayla was able to find an excellent venue, connected me to photographers and DJ's, and calmed me down so that I could sleep at night. She also helped with the light lunch after the ceremony, the programs, and all the little stuff. She was terrific and I highly recommend.

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

I can’t count the number of times during and after our wedding I said, “hiring Christina is the best money we spent on the wedding!” I am not a planner by nature and I was dreading wedding planning. The second we hired Christina, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted. She took care of all the tiny details, gave me ideas I never would have thought of, and brought our vision to life. She was so supportive throughout the whole process, answering texts and emails about absolutely everything. On the actual wedding day, I often thought that I didn’t know what we would have done without her. While our venue had a coordinator, they were not nearly as responsive and organized as Christina was. Christina will not only plan your wedding but she will be your friend throughout the whole wedding planning process. I can’t recommend her enough.

Utano Event & Wedding Planning 
Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Ithaca, NY

I was born and raised in Central New York. I am a military wife, that married her high school sweetheart. We are your typical family with 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats. We even have that dreamy white picket fence. I started working weddings and events in Syracuse as a server, and realized that event planning was my dream job. I have worked my way up the ladder and decided that it was time to branch out on my own. My years of experience in wedding and event planning have required me to have a sharp eye for detail, excellent problem-solving skills and work in fast paced environments to make planning fun and events less stressful!

I will preface this by saying that I am not very good at event planning/emails/phone calls and was somewhat dreading wedding planning. I hired Utano Events/Beth for my day of coordinator (and later added on serving staff) at the strong recommendation from my venue. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that my wedding would not have happened without Beth! She caught so many things that I had missed during the planning process. She walked me through rental order estimates, contacted and verified details with all vendors so I didn't have to, made my decor ideas into reality...the list goes on. She has relationships with tons of vendors in the area, and if she didn't work with them before they were sure to let me know how much they enjoyed having her coordinate the wedding. If you are planning a wedding, I would highly recommend hiring Utano Events, and if you are using a more "DIY" venue that doesn't offer many services on site I would VERY highly recommend hiring them!! Worth every penny!

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! We got tons of compliments from our guests at how lovely the entire wedding was and I know we could not have pulled it off without Charissa / Simply Loved Weddings!!

Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand affair, we’re here to make every moment seamless, stylish, and uniquely yours.

There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for everything she did for us. From the very first conversation to the last moments of our wedding day, she was our biggest supporter, our guide, and the person who kept everything together. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she made us feel calm, confident, and cared for every single step of the way. She always knew exactly what needed to be done before we even had to think about it. She reminded us of every little detail, answered every question with patience, reassured me whenever I felt stressed, and constantly reminded me that everything would come together—and it absolutely did. Because of her, I was able to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience instead of worrying about everything behind the scenes. On our wedding day, she worked tirelessly to make sure every single detail was perfect. She brought our vision to life in ways that exceeded every expectation we had. Seeing everything come together was one of the most emotional moments of my life, and it’s all thanks to her dedication, passion, and love for what she does. But beyond being an extraordinary wedding planner, she is an incredible human being. She genuinely cares about her couples, and you can feel that in everything she does. She celebrated with us, supported us through every decision, and made us feel like family. Looking back, I honestly cannot imagine this journey without her. It would have been impossible. If I could plan my wedding all over again, I would choose her a thousand times over without a second thought. She is truly one of a kind, and I will forever be thankful that she was by my side on one of the most important days of our lives. She didn’t just help us plan a wedding—she gave us the peace of mind to be fully present and create memories we’ll cherish forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our dream wedding a reality. We will never forget everything you did for us. We love you, appreciate you more than words can say, and will recommend you to every couple we know.

I don’t think I can truly explain or fit into a review how amazing Kris with unKAGed events is! We hired Kris because this was a destination wedding for us and we needed help with locating vendors and wanted to feel like we had someone that we could work with in the area that was familiar with the industry and able to coordinate day of for us. I had my initial call with Kris and immediately felt comfortable and listened to with any questions or concerns I had with planning. She offered us different vendors for catering, rentals, dj and cake. She setup up tastings and meetings with all vendors making sure we felt comfortable and confident with every vendor we went with. Kris went above and beyond being CCd on every email and on every call. She provided quick and accurate information throughout the planning process. We ran into issues with our venue along the way and Kris was right there beside us helping us and working through it. What can feel like the chaos of wedding planning we knew we could trust her and rely on her. When it came to day of as a bride it’s hard to feel like you don’t have full control over your day. However trusting Kris after working with her leading up to the big day I knew she was going to do all she could to bring my vision to life and make the best decisions for our wedding. She did just that! I can’t put into words how much she did for us - from all the work leading up, rehearsal, setting up ceremony site, setting up cocktail hour, setting up the reception tables and seating chart and then breaking it all down after - she truly does it all!!

When looking for a wedding planner I needed all the help I could get! I did some research of Philly wedding planners and Musa appeared immediately! I did some vetting for other coordinators as no well as Andi and something that stuck out to me the most was how often Andi checked in. All of the other planners were too busy for my business or thought that having more than one wedding in one day was doable for them making it seem like we would get equal attention which would definitely not be the case. But Andi made me feel so comfortable every. Single. Step. From start to finish she and her team were amazing in every way and I could not have asked for a better team. They gave so many options for vendors that fit our vision who were so amazing and such talented people. Any issues with contracts or timing Andi and her team were on it in a second. I was never unsure or wavered in how I felt about Musa and the work they did! We started planning 2 years ago and she and her team are family now and we love them! It feels so odd not to be in constant contact with them.. makes me so sad! So much blood sweat and tears went into our day and it was the most magical day of my life. Every moment was perfectly coordinated from when we got our hair and makeup done to the end of the night pack up. Even though my hair took longer than expected, they were able to perfectly coordinate around it and move things around so we did not feel rushed. They are a dedicated team making sure you have the best wedding day you could ever ask for. Everyone who made our day special are people I will never forget! We love you guys and miss you!!

Working with Jilian was a delight. From day one, she was quick to reply to every email and on top of all the details. Our calls with her were always pleasant and productive. She quickly grasped our vision for the wedding and had lots of helpful tips. Our wedding was a little more DIY than most but Jilian took it in her stride. On the day of the wedding Paulina and Mary were a reassuring presence and did a great job of smoothing over minor hiccups. 10/10, would recommend.

Working with Kesher was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the beginning, she was organized, responsive, and truly understood the vision we were going for. Planning a wedding comes with a lot of moving parts, and having someone who could step in, handle details, and keep everything on track made such a difference. On the day of the wedding, she and her team took over seamlessly. They handled setup, coordinated with vendors, and made sure everything flowed the way it was supposed to — which allowed us to actually enjoy our day without stress. There were definitely moments where we needed guidance or last-minute adjustments, and she handled them calmly and professionally. That kind of presence is invaluable on such an important day. If you’re on the fence about hiring a coordinator — do it. And if you’re lucky enough to work with her, you’ll be in great hands. Highly recommend!

My wedding day truly wouldn’t have been as smooth without the help of Ang. Ang ensured that everything was exactly how I envisioned. She wasn’t afraid to speak up for me, which is exactly what I needed for a day of coordinator. I would highly recommend Ang!

Gavin Esham Events

  • Offers 7 services

  • Serves Ithaca, NY

Gavin Esham is a Pennsylvania-based wedding and event planner who combines artistry, creativity, and organization to craft meaningful celebrations. With a background in opera, theater, and dance from Northwestern University, he spent years performing on stages across the world — from international venues to Broadway. That experience gave him a unique perspective on timing, flow, and the energy it takes to create unforgettable moments. After stepping away from the stage, Gavin was recruited into the world of events, where he discovered his passion for guiding couples and clients through the planning and design process

I don’t even know where to begin — working with Gavin for our destination wedding was an absolute dream come true! He made the entire planning process feel effortless, organized, and (dare I say) fun — even from thousands of miles away. Every detail, from coordinating with vendors to creating a seamless timeline, was handled with such professionalism and care. Gavin anticipated things I never would have thought of and made sure everything ran flawlessly on the big day. I was able to truly relax and enjoy every moment, knowing we were in the best hands possible. Our wedding turned out to be everything we imagined and more — stunning, joyful, and perfectly “us.” Guests are still talking about how beautiful and well-organized everything was! If you’re considering hiring Gavin for your wedding — especially a destination celebration — don’t hesitate for a second. He is truly a magician in the world of weddings and made our dream day a reality.
