“Beth was by far one of the best wedding decisions I made! I hired her for partial planning and day-of coordination, and she truly went above and beyond in every possible way. Beth is calm, cool, collected, organized, creative, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped me find vendors, guided me through decisions big and small, and was always there when I needed her. When I decided to DIY some of my florals with Costco flowers, she even helped make my floral dreams come true by arranging all of our bud vases—and they turned out beautifully! On the wedding day, Beth was everywhere. She touched up my hair, kept everything moving, and when we were struggling to figure out my ballroom bustle, Beth was the one who figured it out! Some of my favorite photos so far Beth added to the shared album. Beth added small touches to our venue like place cards that she created from scratch, which we got so many compliments on! She handled every little thing that came up without ever making me feel like I needed to worry about it. Honestly, my wedding was the best day ever. I’m not someone who can always easily relax and just enjoy the moment, but Beth’s hard work and attention to detail allowed me to do exactly that. I was able to be completely present and enjoy my wedding because I knew she had everything under control. She also has a car and was able to navigate all of our Manhattan and Brooklyn logistics with ease, which was such a huge bonus for a NYC wedding. I HIGHLY recommend Beth. Hiring her was truly one of the best decisions I made, and I would happily be a reference for her any day!”

“Eli was absolutely amazing as my day-of wedding coordinator! She met with me a month before the wedding to review every little detail and then completely took over vendor communication, which took a huge load off my shoulders. Eli was there every step of the way—at the rehearsal and all throughout the wedding day itself—and her support made everything run smoothly. She handled everything with such professionalism and grace, and her assistant Stacy was also incredibly helpful. Eli is super nice, always helpful, and truly a life-saver.

“After working with Sarah for a second wedding, I can honestly say she’s the best in the biz! She was able to turn my daughter’s vision into a reality while staying within our budget. The relationship Sarah has with all the vendors is truly remarkable and makes the coordination go without a hitch due to mutual respect. From the venue, the band, the florist, the photographer - everyone loves working with Sarah! Sarah’s attention to detail and day of logistics is exceptional.

“Hiring Natalie as our DOC was truly the BEST decision we made for our wedding! As a super type-A bride, I felt confident handling the planning myself, but I knew having a DOC would be helpful for executing everything on the actual day of. What I didn’t realize was just how stressful wedding planning would get in the last few months, and what a blessing it was to have Natalie there to help us along the way! She built our timeline, helped us keep track of every item we needed to bring to the venue, and reminded us of countless little details we would have otherwise forgotten. She even attended our final walkthrough at the venue to go over logistics with our maitre’d and ensure everyone was on the same page. On the wedding day, I was truly able to shut off my brain and be fully present while Natalie handled everything. She kept our schedule on track, communicated with all our vendors, led our ceremony rehearsal, and was by our side whenever we needed her—part coordinator, part therapist, part hype woman, and genuinely a friend. We honestly can’t imagine the day without her! On top of all that, she designed & built our seating chart, welcome sign & bar signs, and she KILLED it!!

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Maplewood, NJ

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.”

“Working with Anastasia of "Perfect Day Planning" was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our initial consultation to the final moments of our reception, her professionalism and attention to detail were absolutely exceptional, and I'm thrilled to share our experience with other couples considering her services. The quality of service we received went far beyond our expectations. Anastasia has cultivated relationships with some of the best vendors in the area, and her recommendations were spot-on for our style and budget. What truly impressed us was how she handled unexpected challenges. When our original bakery had an unexpected emergency three weeks before the wedding, Anastasia immediately presented us with three excellent alternatives and had tastings arranged within 48 hours. The replacement bakery she found actually ended up creating an even more beautiful and delicious cake than we had originally planned. Regarding value, while her services weren't the least expensive option we considered, the peace of mind and professional execution she provided were worth every penny. She actually helped us save money in several areas by negotiating with vendors and suggesting creative alternatives that aligned with our vision while keeping us within budget. A perfect example was when she recommended a fantastic florist who could repurpose our ceremony arrangements for the reception, saving us nearly 2K while maintaining the lush look we wanted. What truly sets Anastasia apart is her genuine investment in her clients' happiness. She took the time to understand not just our vision for the wedding, but our story as a couple. This personal touch was reflected in countless small details throughout the celebration that made our day feel uniquely ours. I would strongly recommend Anastasia to any couple planning their wedding. She brings the perfect combination of professional expertise, creative vision, and personal warmth to what can be an overwhelming process. Thanks to her, our wedding day was even more beautiful and stress-free than we could have imagined.”

Petite Planning Company was founded from our own wedding planning experiences — navigating endless opinions, hidden costs, and too many “how-to” guides. We knew there had to be a better way. Today, we bring clarity, structure, and creativity to one of life’s most meaningful celebrations. Based in NYC, NJ, and FL (Tampa / St. Pete), we help couples across the U.S. and abroad plan intentional, elevated weddings that feel personal, seamless, and full of joy.

“We worked with Petite Planning for our NYC wedding and the team was incredible from the very beginning! Our kickoff meeting was thorough and reassuring, it immediately put me at ease. Maria partnered with us to the wedding. She was always available to brainstorm ideas and even joined us for a venue visit to walk through setup details. She consistently advocated for our best interests with the venue coordinator, which made me feel supported and stress-free every step of the way. On the wedding day itself, we had a large party (no easy feat to manage), but Maria kept everything running smoothly and on time. She even coordinated with our taxi driver to make sure we could stop for the perfect photo ops! Whether she was by my side or working behind the scenes, Maria’s presence was always felt and heard. Best of all, she made the experience fun, I truly had fun with her!! When I think back on my wedding day - the best day of my life, Maria stands out as one of the people who made it all so special. I can't imagine it without her!”

“Working with Angie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband, mom, and I often talked about how incredible she was and how we couldn’t believe we thought we could plan the wedding without her! We started planning on our own for the first year and then brought Angie on for the final three months—it was completely worth the investment (in hindsight, I wish we had hired her sooner). Angie is beyond generous with her time. Our weekly meetings, scheduled for an hour, often extended to two, and not once did she make us feel rushed. Her entire approach is so thoughtful—she took the time to really get to know us and our families, and she truly understood our vibe. Then, she took everything to the next level, suggesting creative touches we’d never have thought of, like turning our seating chart into a map of NYC with table names for different neighborhoods! One of the biggest reliefs was having Angie coordinate directly with all of our vendors. She worked with everyone—our venue (Tavern on the Green), rehearsal dinner and brunch venues, hotel, hair and makeup teams, band, photographer, and baker—meaning we didn’t have to manage any of that ourselves. She even managed our payment schedule, which was such a huge help. Angie was always full of great ideas, and she didn’t just come up with them—she would go ahead and make them happen! From printing all of our signage to supplying candles, photo frames, and even ring boxes, she has everything you need. Her calm, empathetic nature and fantastic listening skills made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Honestly, we were so sad when the wedding ended because it meant no more weekly calls with Angie! If you’re even considering working with her, I cannot recommend her enough—she is a true gem!”

From our first call, Erica was open to hearing all our ideas and always had an answer to all our questions. She was organized by having a digital planning system that we had access to. This helped us keep all our ideas in one place. We felt so comfortable with Erica! Six weeks before our wedding day, we had a scheduled zoom call with Erica once a week until our big day. My partner and I loved these sessions as it was a great way to finalize our ideas and stay on track with the list of to do’s that we had. Erica eased our nerves at every point and we were so fortunate to have her. The day of our wedding was a dream, Erica and her assistant Ashley, were incredible. Erica communicated so well.

Despite the heat, everything went seamlessly — from the getting-ready schedule (hair, makeup, photos outside) to the moment we walked into the venue, we felt completely taken care of. The day-of coordination was exceptional. She picked up our decor, kept us informed when vendors were arriving, made sure we were fed and hydrated throughout — the kind of thoughtful details that make a real difference when you're in the middle of the most exciting day of your life.

“Working with Jamie was truly better than I could have imagined! She was our day-of coordinator for our September 2025 wedding, but truly, she was there for us with support and planning from Day 1. Above all, I appreciated her organizational skills, positive and sweet personality, and undeniable talent. She is incredibly warm, personable, and easy to talk to, and was able to calm my nerves about so many different factors for the wedding. Jamie was always there through the process to answer my "silly" questions when I felt overwhelmed with the planning. She went on a venue visit with me to ensure she had a lay of the land before our wedding, and she created a timeline for the day, which she sent out to vendors and VIP guests. She was very communicative with the relevant parties and always knew the right thing to do when questions arose on the day. In addition to her planning skills, she is also a talented artist and made a mirror sign for our ceremony (photo attached). See the Keep It Sweet Instagram page to see other things she can create. Jamie is without a doubt a total professional and a game-changer for such a special day! I only heard glowing reviews from my vendors on working with her, which was no surprise to me. My parents were also so impressed by her. If you are considering working with Jamie on your special day, this is your sign to do so! You won't regret it. I couldn't have done it without her!”

Their guidance throughout the night was invaluable, ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. Belinda's dedication to my wedding was commendable, making you feel as if you are the only client she has. She was transparent with her opinions and helped me make informed decisions that ultimately saved me from stressful moments. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is not only professional and efficient but also genuinely cares about making your day perfect, look no further than Belinda. Trust me, you need her in your life! Fit her into your budget!! You know it’s serious when the groom can’t stop raving about her and says that he understood why I needed her. I cannot recommend Belinda highly enough, she turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joyous and memorable occasion. She even checked in with us the next day and after the honeymoon! I don’t know if it’s wedding blues or maybe it’s just that I miss you lol But either way thank you, Belinda, for everything you did to make our wedding day absolutely magical!”

“As our wedding day approaches, we find ourselves reflecting with immense gratitude on the exceptional guidance and support thatTaylor has provided throughout this journey. Planning a wedding in under a year could easily have felt overwhelming, yet Taylor transformed the entire process into an experience that was seamless, organized, and truly meaningful.

Her organizational skills have been impeccable, ensuring that every timeline, detail, and decision felt clear and manageable. Her creativity brought our vision to life with thoughtfulness and artistry, while her attention to detail ensured that nothing was ever overlooked.

Brittany is a natural problem-solver who advocates for her couples at every step, working tirelessly to bring their vision to life. She ensures that no element is overlooked, giving every couple the confidence that their day will unfold seamlessly.

“If you are debating on whether or not to hire a wedding planner, just do it and work with Brittany. Brittany was our day of coordinator but she was more like a month of coordinator. We met at the venue a few weeks before the wedding to talk about logistics. Leading up to the event, she helped with getting my contracts from the vendors to the venue. She coordinated with hair and makeup and photography to make a schedule and keep us on track the day of. On our wedding day, she saved the day several times. I may have told my husband that he should leave the hotel to head to the venue at 4:15pm, the same time my bridesmaids and I were leaving (oops!). Brittany made sure that we didn’t bump into each other in the lobby. We ordered 2 uber black cars but only one showed and Brittany was there to help with transportation of the wedding party from the hotel to the venue. My florist fell short and did not put flowers on the cake as discussed. Britanny jumped in and did an impromptu cake decoration. Any stress I may have experienced was fleeting as Brittany was there to fix all things immediately. As our day of coordinator, she was truly an asset to our day. My only regret is that I didn’t have a wedding planner and that it wasn’t Brittany”
