We cannot recommend Valerie enough! She was such a delight to work with, so kind and easy going while still being on top of everything. We weren’t sure what to expect in the planning process and instantly felt at ease with her. She was ahead of everything on our to-do list and thought of a million things we didn’t consider. On our wedding day, we didn’t lift a finger and Val ran everything so smoothly. They say something always goes wrong at a wedding, but in our case everything went even better than we’d hoped. If you’re looking for a planner/coordinator, Val is absolutely it!

A.L.M. Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Arin's communication style was clear, concise, and incredibly supportive. She was passionate, thorough, thoughtful, committed, and organized throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Arin ensured everything went smoothly - she expertly organized everyone for the ceremony, coordinated our ceremony music, kept us on our timeline, and went above and beyond to alleviate our stress and ensure we had an incredible time. She even calmed down our officiant (a family member) who had some last minute nerves! Arin has an incredibly calm and thoughtful presence, and I cannot recommend her and A.L.M. Events enough.

Ani was a fantastic wedding planner. She gave us the wedding we wanted in ways we wouldn’t have even imagined. Every step along the way, Ani was professional and thorough. The 18 months leading up to our wedding was insanely busy for us outside of wedding planning. Still, Ani always reduced our stress and made our wedding tasks manageable.

I'm Claire. I opened WedWell in 2014 after I had a terrible experience with the planner for my wedding (which is why I aim for a low stress, high fun planning environment). With over a decade of experience in events, it was time that I started helping couples through the wedding planning process. I love all things weddings: the couples, the venues, the uniqueness, the love, the families, the vows, the toasts, the dancing, the photo booths, the cake (well, any dessert really). I love working with all couples because I truly believe love is love. So let's get started!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you get the chance to have Claire work on your wedding, consider yourself lucky. Claire is a DREAM to work with and elevated our wedding beyond expectations. We came to her with a big ask: pull off a multi-day, inter-religious, multi-cultural wedding weekend in NYC. Claire more than delivered on both our Bangladeshi Gaye Holud and American wedding events. Her full planning service was the best wedding decision we made, hands down. Claire is well-connected in the industry because everyone she works with loves her. This helped us select top-quality vendors. Her 10 years of experience pulled through when she uncovered problematic vendor contract clauses that we initially overlooked. She led every site visit and asked important questions we wouldn’t have thought of. She kept us on track over the course of 14 months, so we didn’t rush or make hasty decisions as our wedding date approached. Planning with Claire was a great experience. She always returned our emails quickly and thoughtfully (and trust me, we emailed her A LOT). The fact that she is a part-time planner gave us no cause for concern. Her corporate experience came in handy for us as a working couple; we bonded over our love for spreadsheets and lists. Our Gaye Holud event in particular had many moving parts and vendors, but Claire swiftly kept track of everyone’s responsibilities. Her efforts helped uncover and resolve problems before the event took place. Claire is a creative force, too. She never planned a Bangladeshi event before, but gave us great ideas and solutions when we encountered a problem. Her flexibility and creativity is a large part of why we chose her as our planner. Day-of coordination was fantastic. Claire dealt with locked out vendors, missing items, and delayed timelines seamlessly. We were so impressed with how Claire handled every situation with poise, and it really made our day feel so much less stressful. A bonus? She captures amazing day-of content so you have photos and videos right away, the day after! If you’re looking for a wedding planner, we recommend Claire with flying colors. We could not have asked for anyone better!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring DeAnne was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she was an absolute dream, gentle when we had to make tough decisions, affirming when we finally made them, and endlessly supportive throughout, in what is a very stressful process. I have a background in event planning, and my husband (love him) was a little clueless and had a hard time with a lot of the design decisions. She was so patient and did a great job of explaining things in a way that made sense to him! She was able to transform Picnic House in Prospect Park into a beautiful and romantic venue that we had never imagined, and our guests are still raving about the details. Behind the scenes, she handled everything so seamlessly that we were able to enjoy every moment of our day without worry. Dear September brought so much heart to the process, as she found us vendors that completely matched our vibe. She truly understood my vision and brought it to life in a way that I could have never imagined —I still can't believe that was my wedding! Even with some bad weather, she brought quick fixes and made everything seamless. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her enough. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your planner, your wedding will be in the very best hands. Couldn't recommend more!

I had the opportunity to work with Lee Ramsay Events for our wedding in August. Lee demonstrated the perfect temperament and attention to detail needed. My fiancé is a surgical resident meaning much of the planning was left to me (the groom) and Lee. Lee managed all of the personalities in our wedding party, family, and venue masterfully. We continue to receive compliments days and weeks after about our wedding and the level of organization that made our day flow so well. She was a true joy to work with and all of our other vendors shared that she was one of the best planners they had ever worked with. When we hired Lee, we did not think we needed a full planner, but she more than demonstrated her ability in one of Manhattan’s premier venues. Lee offered other value add services and guidance to making our wedding weekend the perfect one. Her team of bridal attendants and assistants were incredible on Wedding day. I cannot recommend Lee Ramsay Events enough. I am excited to watch her career take off because she is clearly one of NYC’s most talented people in the event space and can handle events large and small.

Talk about making the impossible, possible! I had worked with MVW Events to plan a surprise engagement picnic for my then girlfriend, now wife. Around the time, I was wrapping up my graduate program and set to graduate the day after I planned on proposing. MVW helped me set the vision for the picnic and coordinated sourcing vendors for the right deals on items that would make the moment extra special. With all the details in place, I was confident in what we had planned and was actually less nervous about the whole bended knee thing because of it. Fast forward to the day of and guess what ... It RAINED!! so the park area I had in mind did not allow folks on the grass after fresh rain so we had to change plans on the fly. Morgan and her super creative brain proposed she and her team set up everything in my apartment instead. That way we could have everything we needed for the occasion within arms reach. She even secretly met me while I was out with my partner at a school event to grab my apartment keys and head over to set everything up while I was out. When we got home, when I say the place looked like MAGIC!! We were both blown away (but of course I had an idea of what to expect). And of course, it went perfectly from there. We are now coming on a year happily married and I would not have had the confidence to execute such a plan on my own. THANK YOU Morgan & Team!! 10/10 Recommend!

We don’t follow trends—we set them, designing each event uniquely for our couples.

The entire team at House of Pheras were a dream to work with. As a family without a ton of prior wedding-planning experience, we truly appreciated how approachable, organized, and supportive their entire team was from start to finish. Every single vendor we worked with was exceptional, and I truly credit House of Pheras team for guiding us toward such an incredible group of professionals. We also navigated a unique situation: our venue was still under construction when we booked it, so we were essentially planning alongside an evolving space. The HOP team handled this with grace, flexibility, and steady confidence, helping us adjust and make thoughtful decisions as the venue came together. Throughout the process, they were not just our planner — she was a calming, supportive presence who genuinely understood what mattered most to us. Our wedding was planned in under 8 months, yet nothing ever felt rushed or overwhelming. The attention to detail, organization, and care shown to both us and our family made all the difference. On the day of the wedding, the day-of team was flawless — making sure everything ran smoothly and, most importantly, that I felt taken care of. We are so grateful for her entire team for not only executing a beautiful wedding, but for making the entire experience feel warm, personal, and stress-free.

Hi there! I’m Chelsea. With a keen attention to detail, strong organizational skills, sophisticated aesthetic, and balance between creativity and logistics, I craft personalized, heartfelt celebrations. I combine my design sensibility with exceptional customer service skills to create events that aren’t just memorable, but deeply personal and impeccably managed. And lastly, I’m not just here to be your planner — I hope to build lasting friendships as we create unforgettable moments together.

LGBTQ safe. Type A personality approved. Experience with lesbian weddings (two bridezillas). Awesome team. Communicative and highly organized. 180 person wedding. After having a bad experience with another wedding planner, we found Chelsea Song Events. And thank god, we did. Chelsea immediately put my partner and I at ease. Within a week, Chelsea made us a shared document/spreadsheet where she organized all our vendors, to-do lists, timelines, etc. When I talk about everything was organized (even when to write vows, parent gifts, when to organize bathroom baskets and what to put in them), I mean everything.. Having access to this helped our Type A personalities feel so much better. For months, we met on a regular basis, and Chelsea always came with an agenda to help us focus on what needed to be done or updates about what she had done during those two weeks. There was full transparency which we really appreciated. After hiring some wonky vendors (before we met Chelsea), she pushed to make sure she personally had meetings with them and prepared them to deliver on the day of. She also created design mockups and floor plans so that we could really envision what the venue would look like. The month of the wedding, Chelsea handled everything having to do with vendors and the venue (double checking things, COIs, contacts), giving us brides the time to relax and get excited for the big day (without a to-do list ourselves). And day of, wow! She killed it. She and her team handled everything so that we didn’t have to. We had 180 people and a dozen vendors. But still, every time she saw us, Chelsea assured us everything was perfect (AKA she was putting out fires left and right, but we didn’t know that). And we ran EXACTLY on time, thanks to her. We also heard from so many of our vendors that she was amazing to work with on that side too. It’s difficult to put your trust into someone when planning a wedding, but speaking for myself and my partner, you can trust Chelsea every step of the way. She truly cares about her couples, and she loves what she does. She’s always reachable, great to bounce ideas off of, and wants to make your dream wedding come true. While being a perfectionist planner, Chelsea is also the kindest person. We can’t recommend her enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
We didn't think we needed wedding coordinators because we weren't planning a big, elaborate wedding. We wanted something small and meaningful—an intimate celebration with about 60 - 70 close family and friends —and figured we could handle most of the planning ourselves. We chose a restaurant, sent out invitations, and thought we had things under control. But our thinking shifted once we started considering the logistics of the actual day—including seemingly simple things like how to arrange chairs for the ceremony. Friends and family offered to help, but we wanted them to enjoy the event as guests, not worry about the details. After speaking with Ingrid and Gloria and reviewing their very reasonable proposal, we felt good about bringing them on. Over the next two months, they kept us organized, offered thoughtful and constructive suggestions, and were a steady source of calm and encouragement. They listened earnestly to what we wanted and helped bring it to life in a way that felt both personal and polished. We also really appreciated their help communicating and coordinating with vendors, including the restaurant, our photographer, and our musician. It took a lot of pressure off our shoulders and gave us peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. What we've come to realize is that the best work of wedding coordinators is often invisible to guests—but when it's done well, the event flows effortlessly and feels just right. That's exactly what Ingrid and Gloria made possible for us, and we're so grateful.

I've always been the wedding and events go-to person for my family and friends. In 2004 I decided to marry my love and skill for flawless event execution. That is how Events by Sheavonne was born. My clients appreciate my impeccable style, attention to detail, and tireless work ethic. I have the best team any planner could dream of. Together, we go above and beyond to make sure our couples have the wedding planning experience of their dreams, no matter what!

Sheavonne was our rock on our March wedding day! We hired her as our day-of wedding coordinator, and she was exceptionally responsive to emails throughout the entire planning process, answering all my questions promptly. Even with heavy rain, she kept me calm and handled every issue smoothly. Sheavonne’s calming presence and problem-solving skills were priceless. She made our terrace wedding possible despite a leaky roof from the rain. Her assistants were also fantastic and discreet, making sure everything flowed perfectly. I can’t praise Sheavonne and her team enough for anyone needing an excellent and supportive wedding coordinator!

Not sure where to start. This past year was so insane. We got engaged and planned and had a whole wedding in under a year- not even sure what made me lose my mind and do all that (plus we bought a house!). Without Alinato this entire year would have been a wild undertaking and truthfully there would have been several more breakdowns (and maybe my mother and I would have come to blows!). Truly Alyssa was so helpful. Every time she gave a recommendation even when I disagreed- she was right! Right down to the colored flowers- I do not know how she does it but she can conceptualize the entire day through the whole process. I am someone who needs a lot of visuals and a lot of explanation especially when it comes to the biggest day of my life and because I am super type A!! She was patient and really helped walk me and my partner through it. Our day was not only pretty and amazing to see come together but it was FUN. All I wanted was a stunning day that felt effortless and chic but also I wanted my friends to party and we achieved it! Of course everyone is human and there was a bump or two but truly I have no complaints. I am still in awe at how we pulled it off in such a short time period! Insane but I would 1000% recommend Alinato to any couples looking for a planner!

I’ve worked in events for over a decade and hands down, weddings are my favorite--what’s better than celebrating someone’s relationship surrounded by so much love? As the owner and founder of BLB Events, I’m here to bring your celebration to life as seamlessly as possible, so you can celebrate with your nearest and dearest. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m obsessed with logistics; I love watching a well-executed event go off without a hitch. But the most important part of my job is building a close and trusting relationship with every couple I work with. There’s no better feeling than watching them enjoy the day we planned together.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've worked with Brittney and the fabulous BLB Events Team many times throughout the last few years, and every time I do it's great energy and communication in months/weeks leading up to the event, but most importantly on the day-of. Their attention to detail, professionalism and ease of communication and organization are incomparable.

First off- if you are thinking of hiring a wedding planner in general but are not sure- just do it. It is the best money we spent of our entire wedding budget. But if you are going to hire a planner, specifically hire Eleve Events. Our experience with this company was incredible. From our first meeting to the wedding day Kristen and her team kept us organized and on track but more importantly let the process feel fun! I have heard from many couples that the time in their relationship in which they fought the most was wedding planning- it was NOT that experience for us. We got to feel in love and relaxed being engaged and she took care of all of the logistics. She gauged right away how involved we wanted to be in the planning process and let us continue our busy lives without stressing about the wedding planning. The day of the wedding Kristen's team anticipated needs I never would have even considered, she was literally prepared for every scenario that popped up and made the whole day run on time and smoothly. Everyone felt taken care of and relaxed on wedding day and we were able to just enjoy the day without having to communicate with vendors or worry about how things were running.

Sparrow’s Daughter is a New York City–based event planning studio, helmed by me, MaryLouise Sparrow. Guided by deep reverence for the art of gathering, I believe in the power of events to meaningfully punctuate our lives. My role is to translate your story into atmosphere and to design experiences that are grounded in purpose, authenticity, and joy.

I used Sparrows Daughter to coordinate and plan the entirety of my bachelorette weekend - this was 17 girls flying from across the country to Palm Beach and it went off perfectly!! MaryLouise was hands on the whole weekend but started working on the events month before. Flights were coordinated, arrival times synced, a full weekend of activities scheduled. MaryLouise worked with multiple vendors, including boat rentals, yoga studios, local busses and restaurants and the weekend went off without a hitch. She also worked with a local designers to create perfect welcome workout sets that everyone loved, and negotiated a great group rate. She was extremely accommodating and I feel like really listened and understood the ethos of what I wanted the weekend to be. I willllll be using her again for my next birthday!!!

Working with Marina was the single best decision we made in planning our wedding. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, organized, and always ten steps ahead. She made the entire process not just seamless, but genuinely enjoyable, every step felt calm, clear, and intentional. Because Marina was on top of absolutely everything, we never once felt stressed. And on the wedding day itself, it was pure magic. Every moment unfolded more beautifully than I could have dreamed, and that’s entirely thanks to her. She brought our vision to life with such care, creativity, and grace. We will be forever grateful.
