We had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Sarah from Petal & Pine Planning for Robbie and Taylor’s wedding, and she was simply AMAZING! As a fellow wedding vendor, working with a planner who is organized, communicative, and truly on top of every detail makes such a difference, and Sarah was all of that and more. From start to finish, she was incredibly kind, personable, professional, and so easy to work with. She kept everything moving seamlessly while still bringing such a calm, positive energy to the day. You could tell how much she genuinely cared about Robbie and Taylor, their vision, and making sure they were able to enjoy their wedding day without worrying about the little details behind the scenes. Vendor collaboration is such a huge part of creating a smooth wedding experience, and Sarah made our job at Raising The Bar that much easier. We would work alongside her again in a heartbeat and absolutely recommend Petal & Pine Planning to any couple looking for someone they can trust with their big day! —Payge Raising The Bar Owner

From picking the perfect vendors and designing every detail to keeping your day running smoothly, we handle the heavy lifting so you can kick back, enjoy the moment, and celebrate without a worry.

Awarded Best of Zola
At first, I was skeptical of hiring a day of coordinator as I am very organized and was pretty comfortable planning our day on my own. My main reason for hiring a day of coordinator was to not have to worry, to have someone who will help set-up things the way I would, and someone who I can count on to have all the answers for everyone else. Ayden went above and beyond. She is so calm and put together, she helped me more than I can put into words! We had a large wedding of 160 people with a good amount of intricate details. We also had rain that caused our entire ceremony to be switched a few hours before the start time. Ayden handled everything seamlessly. I seriously could not recommend her enough. She made sure my husband and I got wedding cake and extra dessert brought to our room with water for us at the end of the night. She is extremely kind and knowledgeable but encourages you to give your opinions and speak up. I also appreciated that Ayden had to make some executive decisions on her own like moving our LED sign where there wasn't a plug how I originally wanted it, she didn't stress me out with this question, she just handled it and made everything look amazing. I could not recommend her enough, we were so lucky to work with Ayden. I wish we could relive our wedding all over again with Ayden's help!

I cannot say enough good things about Nichole and Julia.

Every single detail was thoughtful, intentional, and so me. They ran everything by me, truly listened to my style and taste, and somehow brought my vision to life even better than I imagined. My wedding day was seamless, beautiful, and completely stress free, and that is entirely because of them. My day could not have been more perfect, and I have Nichole and Julia to thank for that.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nina is not what you'd expect of a wedding planner - she is so much more. Besides the fact that she has impeccable taste, an easygoing hat about her, expert knowledge and tons of vendor relations, she made me feel from the first day of hiring her through the moments when the wedding was over and I was sharing photos, that everything would be perfect. Like a coach, she put a few of my expectations, all of my anxiety and some of my to-do list in check, but did so with such professionalism and calmness, that I feel in hindsight her fee was more than worth it. I was apprehensive about paying a planner for something I truly believed I could do. Later than I'd like to admit, I became overwhelmed and seriously behind as the actual day neared. I was referred to Nina by my fiancé's friend [note that my fiancé was so over me planning the wedding me on my own]. I had fun on my day, I was relaxed and look like I was truly enjoying our day in ALL the photos. Adding that Nina also flew in a DJ from Miami who I was and am a fan of. I thought it would be a gazillion dollars, but it was just a little bit more than the local DJs. Her industry experience def gives her an edge and made us look super cool.

Booking Cassie to be my wedding coordinator three months out to my wedding day was the best decision I made in the wedding planning process! I really thought I did not want or need a planner/coordinator, but having Cassie there really allowed me to enjoy my wedding. Cassie was diligent, organized, responsive, and patient. Cassie was so on top of every detail and knew all my vendors’ contracts inside and out! I had done lots of research online to make sure I knew every detail going into the wedding planning process, but there were some things I would not have known and Cassie was able to guide me through. For example, one of my vendors insisted an additional hour of rental time needed to be added to the wedding day (that would have cost me hundreds of dollars) and Cassie advocated for me, citing their contract, that it was not necessary. Cassie was also available to help make decisions regarding decor, helping me decide on pieces that best suited and enhanced the venue. I explained my vision of romantic candles everywhere throughout the event. Cassie and I worked together to shape where everything would go to create the seamless look. Cassie (and her assistant Cammie) made everything look stunning on the wedding day - and expertly packed up everything at the end of the night for us. I thought I could have my sister or family friend be in charge of so many of these tasks, but it was *so nice* delegating this out to a professional so that everyone could enjoy the day. Thank you Cassie for an amazing wedding day! Photo credit of venue photos: Created Coastal Photography

With her meticulous planning and proactive approach, she ensured that by the week of the wedding, we had zero decisions or tasks left to complete. This allowed us to approach our special day with a sense of calm and relaxation, knowing that every detail had been meticulously taken care of. This was truly priceless. On the day of the wedding, Dana and her team executed flawlessly, leaving no detail overlooked. From managing unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency to ensuring that both sets of parents could fully immerse themselves in the celebration free from tasks or responsibilities. Both our Mom’s had planned our siblings weddings and what a gift for them to be able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy the wedding. I have countless fond memories of Dana and her team going above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. From tackling last-minute emergencies with poise and professionalism to seamlessly coordinating every aspect of the event, Dana's commitment to excellence was apparent in every interaction.

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

Hi there! My name is Liv and I am a New England born event planner. Being the youngest of 12 cousins, I went to my fair share of weddings growing up. I naturally fell in love with seeing the first chapter of my friends and families life begin. I’ve worked with some of the best vendors in the Seacoast, learning and growing as much as possible. In October 2021, I took a leap of faith and opened my own business! I'll never take for granted being able to work with clients I love, doing what I love. Let’s make your dream wedding a reality!

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!!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I began searching for a wedding venue, we visited several locations—but ultimately, we chose our venue because of Danielle. From our very first meeting, we knew we would be in great hands with her. It was, without a doubt, the best decision we made during the entire planning process. Danielle made everything feel effortless. We were working with a strict budget, and she helped us maximize every dollar without compromising on our vision. Her communication was clear, and consistent, removing of the stress and uncertainty that often comes with planning a wedding. Midway through our planning, Danielle received an exciting opportunity at a new venue. While I was thrilled for her, I couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous about what that might mean for us. But Danielle’s dedication is truly unmatched—despite having started a new role, she returned to oversee our wedding day and stayed through the entire evening. We were beyond grateful for her loyalty and support. One of my favorite memories from the day (besides marrying my husband, of course!) was when Danielle pulled us aside before the reception to see the reception space fully set up. The countless boxes of candles and decor I had dropped off the night before had been transformed into something so magical. The room took my breath away—I was instantly in tears. All those months of planning and dreaming had come to life more beautifully than I ever imagined. Thanks to Danielle, I had the perfect wedding day. She is fun, knowledgeable, flexible, incredibly talented, and wholeheartedly committed to her couples. We feel so lucky to have found her.

Katelynn made the planning of our wedding a pleasure. She was organized, always upbeat, has a great network, excellent ideas, yet not afraid to push back when needed. She kept the process moving along which allowed us to mostly enjoy the whole thing. She set us up for an amazing wedding, more beautiful than we could have even imagined. We loved working with her and recommend her wholeheartedly.

Here at MB Events, our number one goal has always been to have happy clients. From helping them plan at a pace that works for them, to keeping everything organized and stress free. We truly value the friendships that are made throughout the process.

My husband, Chris, and I were fortunate enough to book with MB Events almost two years out from our wedding date of July 19, 2025. We love telling everyone that working with Marissa was the 2nd best decision we made (other than marrying each other, of course!!) Throughout the inevitable chaos of wedding planning, Marissa was our rock. She kept us on track with timelines and payments, managed communication with nearly 10 vendors at once, and helped bring our entire wedding vision to life. She truly has “the eye” — something Chris and I lack — making her guidance that much more invaluable when crafting our mood board and creating the overall design for wedding day. Her dedication, hard work and care never went unnoticed and we even had guests come up to us that night saying how amazing her team is! Every hiccup was handled with grace and professionalism, allowing our day to run as smoothly as possible (and it did!) If you choose to hire Marissa, just know you are not just hiring a planner but also gaining a friend and member of the family. Working with her over the last two years has been a blessing and more, and we owe so much of the joy we felt on wedding day to her. THANK YOU Marissa and MB events! We love you!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

I wish I could give 10 stars! I got married two weeks ago after getting engaged at Christmas. Lauren spent 6 months helping me curate the beautiful wedding of my dreams! Her attention to detail and kindness helped me way beyond expectation given the short timeframe. In every facet, Lauren took my creative vision and figured out how we could logistically make it all happen. She is thorough and organized - creating seamless timelines and checklists to ensure everything was done and went smoothly on my big day. Lauren has a truly creative eye and she gives GOOD & honest feedback. This helped me quickly and confidently make decisions. Lauren effectively handled communication with each of my vendors, and even went wedding dress shopping with me! She is kind, smart, laid back, and truly fun to be around. Her calm nature soothed my wedding day nerves and she easily delegated all of the day of tasks for my backyard wedding. This meant I was able to be inside, ENJOYING the morning of my wedding day, stress free. I can’t recommend Lauren Wilson Events enough, both for wedding planning AND day of coordination (which I can’t recommend more) Meet with her, you’ll quickly realize why you NEED her. She does not disappoint!!!

You made my day incredible. I had a vision and Chad blew it out of the water. I walked into the reception before our happy hour started and my mouth dropped. Stunning. I had no stress at all on my wedding day and he handled any issues that arose beautifully. I cannot say thank you enough for ensuring my day was more than I even imagined.
