“We had an incredible experience working with The Luke Films for our wedding videography. Lucas is easy to communicate with, and prompt to respond to your questions. Lucas and his team are genuine, kind and professional, helping to provide direction and guidance for my husband and I who are not used to being behind a camera. Our instagram reel was timed perfectly to the song suggestion we had provided, and truly captured how special our ceremony felt to us, no notes!

Brittany Blanchard Events

Newark, NJ
  • Planner
  • Offers 7 services

Brittany studied International Tourism & Hospitality in college, and her background working in hotels and behind the scenes of numerous events has equipped her with the ability to overcome any obstacle imaginable. 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.

“Working with Brittany was lovely! I was a 2025 bride who had to plan her entire wedding in three months (I know!) While my husband and I were able to handle most of the planning, we needed more professional assistance in making sure our vision would be executed. We also had a tight budget and weren't sure our vision would reasonably align with our budget...or if we could even afford to bring on a wedding coordinator. After meeting with Brittany, she took all my concerns into consideration and made me realize that one way or another, I would have my wedding! I already knew Brittany personally, and I had seen her in action online and in person. I had been rooting for her on the sidelines for some time, but this time, I wanted to support her in supporting me. I couldn't think of anyone I could trust more to guide me through the final stages of my wedding month! Professional, soft spoken, and kind, Brittany was a wonderful month of coordinator. She listened to my requests carefully, read all my emails patiently, and responded promptly to each one. She also did well to listen to, and accept constructive feedback from me, with a smile and understanding ears. On the days leading up to my wedding, and on my special day, Brittany was there to oversee and ensure everything went according to plan. And when it didn't, she was there to reassure me everything would be okay and intervened when questions were flying my way. In the end, our wedding was a success! Out of all our vendors, Brittany was easily one of the most professional ones who continued to show up with a positive attitude. For jumping in on short notice and helping this overwhelmed bride, I will be forever thankful. I will continue to root for this boss lady, as she continues to root for every bride she works with. Thank you, Brittany! Love, Mrs. Martey-Kipps”

It's so hard to even pick our favorites because every single one is stunning! We wanted our wedding to have a romantic, moody, old-world feel, and each photo Lucas took evoked that vibe perfectly. The photos are so romantic and tell such a beautiful story, reminding us of all the feelings we had on our wedding day. Lucas is so kind, so working with him was super easy. He somehow managed to be everywhere at once and captured every single moment of our wedding, down to the smallest of details.

“Our wedding on May 1, 2026 was truly the best day of our lives, and the entire Hudson House team exceeded every expectation we had. We had a bit of a rocky start during the initial booking process, but once Elena, the General Manager, stepped in and connected us with Gabriel, the Director, everything became seamless. From that point forward, we felt completely taken care of. The food tasting alone was an experience unlike anything we've ever seen. It was an incredible feast and gave us a firsthand look at how Hudson House executes events and the level of service they provide. The food was absolutely outstanding, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. One of the things that made our wedding feel extra special was having the second-floor room available for cocktail hour instead of the overlook above the reception space. While both spaces are beautiful, having a completely separate floor created such an incredible guest experience. Many guests thought the cocktail hour space was the reception itself, only to be amazed when they discovered there was another floor for dinner and dancing, followed by the Stork Club for the after-party. Everyone loved the progression of the evening and how each part of the celebration had its own unique space. The cocktail hour was truly next level. We received countless compliments about the amount of food and the variety of stations. Guests repeatedly told us they had never seen so many options at a wedding. One detail that made a huge impact was having our signature his-and-hers drinks already waiting for guests as they entered cocktail hour. People loved being able to grab a drink immediately instead of standing in line at the bar, and it was one of the most complimented touches of the night. What impressed us most, though, was the service. Every single staff member was warm, friendly, attentive, and accommodating. If a guest needed something, it was handled immediately. The professionalism and hospitality were truly exceptional. A special thank you goes to Maya, my bridal attendant, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was by my side all day, constantly making sure I had water, checking on me, helping me stay hydrated, and ensuring I had everything I needed. She even helped clean the dirt off the train of my dress after photos. Maya was calm, thoughtful, diligent, and genuinely cared about making my day perfect. Before we left, she made sure all of our belongings were packed and organized, and she carefully packed up the food and cake I requested to take home since I knew I probably wouldn't get a chance to eat much during the wedding. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy so many of the amazing dishes once we got back to our hotel. Gabriel was equally incredible throughout the night. Anytime I noticed something that needed attention, no matter how small, he addressed it immediately. Knowing he was there overseeing everything allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day. Hudson House delivered beyond our wildest dreams. The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, the service is unmatched, and the entire team genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience. Everything ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The only downside is that the day goes by way too fast. We honestly wish we could do it all over again. We cannot recommend Hudson House enough.”

“I cannot recommend Chique Collective enough for wedding hair, makeup, and beauty services! From the moment I booked my bridal preview to my wedding day, the entire experience was absolutely phenomenal. Delia and Payton were an incredible team to work with. Payton did my bridal makeup, and I was beyond happy with the final look. During my bridal trial, she truly listened to all of my concerns, preferences, and feedback, and made adjustments to ensure everything was perfect. I’m so glad I did a trial because it gave me complete confidence going into my wedding day and allowed me to see firsthand how talented and professional they both are. I visited both the Jersey City and Hoboken studios, and both salons are absolutely gorgeous, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. I also booked my bridal spray tan through Chique Collective, and it was hands down the best spray tan I’ve ever received. It looked flawless, natural, and photographed beautifully. On my wedding day, I couldn’t have been happier with my hair and makeup. My Hollywood waves looked stunning and lasted all day and night. I especially appreciated all of the advice Delia gave me, including recommending clip-in extensions to help hold the style throughout the day. Everything turned out even better than I imagined. Not only are Delia and Payton incredibly talented, but they are also some of the sweetest, friendliest, and most calming people to have around on such an important day. They made me feel beautiful, confident, and completely taken care of. Thank you both for helping me look and feel my absolute best on my wedding day. If you’re looking for wedding hair, makeup, spray tanning, or beauty services, I highly recommend Chique Collective.

“This was our first time at Crossed Keys Estate, and from the moment we did our research, we knew we were in for something special. The estate’s 30 acres of history, with stunning gardens, towering 200-year-old trees, and a charming farmhouse, provide the perfect mix of modern and rustic elegance. One of our favorite aspects? The venue hosts just one wedding a day, so all the attention and resources are devoted to the couple—a huge plus for creating a seamless experience. From the beginning, Erika and Jeremy were so laid-back and excited to enjoy their day. The preparation spaces were perfect—the girls had a beautiful rustic farmhouse, while the guys had a spacious house just down the gravel road, complete with a golf green for a little fun before the festivities. We love incorporating multiple, and Crossed Keys Estate offered the perfect backdrop for each one. From the emotional bridesmaids' reveal to the heartwarming first look between Erika and her dad (we could feel the intensity of the moment from the sidelines), and finally, the groom's first look on the picturesque grounds—it was magical. The estate’s swing under the giant tree and the intimate reflection pond were standout spots for capturing stunning couple photos, tucked away from the crowd. The reception space was equally amazing. The modern hall, with floor-to-ceiling windows, allowed gorgeous natural light to flood the room, making for a perfect backdrop for the celebration and the sweetheart table. Working with Katrina, the Senior Venue Coordinator, was a breeze. Every request the couple had was thoroughly listened to, and the venue made sure the day flowed effortlessly for everyone involved. Everything was timed perfectly, the florals (created by the venue!) were stunning, and the food was exquisite. Every detail was executed flawlessly, ensuring the couple and their guests could enjoy the day without a single hiccup. Now that we’ve experienced Crossed Keys Estate firsthand, we can’t wait to return! Our creativity was sparked by the newness of the venue, but we’re also excited to bring that knowledge back for future weddings. Erika and Jeremy’s wedding was a perfect day, and we look forward to more love stories at this beautiful estate.”
