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.

My wife and I worked with Danielle at a venue and she was so fantastic, we followed her from one venue to the other. We were so interested to work with her, we sought her out. The building, the amenities and the food…important? I guess… but not as important as the person who is going to help you keep the event on the rails, be in your corner the whole time and do everything she can to make your day the best it can be. Someone once told me, “a bunch of things are gonna go sideways on your day, you’ll know, but no one else will. Just enjoy the whole thing.” Danielle made sure to make our day as perfect as it really turned out to be. It was 5 years ago and people still comment on the day.

Sarah’s drive to create the most elaborate gatherings, parties and events is next to none! She has gone above and beyond to make sure I’ve had the time of my life during so many of my special moments; my bachelorette party, bridal shower, wedding, and most recently baby shower. Her true desire to take charge and remove all the stress is genuine, there is love in every decision she makes. It poured buckets on our wedding day, but Sarah made sure that didn’t put a damper on the execution and more importantly the joy of the day. She is very careful in her decision making and makes sure to involve you in whatever aspects you want to be a part of, or, if you’d rather, she will say don’t worry about a thing - just show up! Her ideas are flawless and her execution is methodical. Sarah will pour every ounce of energy into planning and preparing whatever event she sets her mind to. There is a sense of relief knowing she has taken the reigns, it’s a guarantee that you will be the guest of honor at one of the most wonderful things you’ve ever seen. To know her is to trust her, she would never steer you wrong.

Meg and the team at Tiny Laser were truly amazing to work with from the initial meeting all the way till the end of our wedding. Planning a wedding is stressful, but we knew we were in good hands with them. They were super organized, communicative and just made us feel at east leading up to the wedding. When the day finally came, I was in awe at how smoothly everything went. Julianne was incredible, checking in with us throughout the night and making sure we were having a great time.

I can’t say enough good things about Ayden! I hired her later in the planning process, and my only regret is not hiring her sooner. She truly kept me sane on my wedding day. From quickly bustling my dress so I could get back to the party, to even helping my dad fix the hem of his pants—she went above and beyond in every way. My venue went through three different coordinators in the span of a year (something I never thought would happen, especially at such a nice hotel in Maine). The communication was a nightmare, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Ayden. She was relentless in trying to get in contact with someone when I simply didn’t have the time—I work a full-time, demanding job—and I didn’t even hear from the venue until about three weeks before my wedding. We still had timeline issues that needed immediate attention, and Ayden took charge. She finally got me in touch with the general manager, and things smoothed out from there. By the time the wedding arrived, I was so burnt out that I gave Ayden very little direction on how to set up some of my decorative pieces—and she absolutely nailed it. Everything looked wonderful and exactly how I had envisioned it (if not better). She kept me on schedule, executed every detail perfectly, and made the day feel effortless. I know wedding planning is expensive, but the stress and anxiety are just not worth the hassle. Having Ayden there was truly priceless. She is calm, collected, and incredibly detail-oriented—exactly the person you want by your side on your wedding day. If you’re on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, let this be your sign—Ayden is absolutely incredible!

At For Every Joccasion, we believe weddings should feel like the couple getting married, not a copy-and-paste template. Our approach focuses on thoughtful planning, intentional design, and calm, organized coordination so couples can fully enjoy their wedding day rather than worrying about logistics. Based in coastal Maine, we work with couples planning celebrations throughout New England, from elegant seaside venues to intimate backyard gatherings. Whether you're hosting 40 guests or 175, our goal is the same: to create a wedding that feels personal, seamless, and genuinely joyful.

Joelene served as the weekend-of coordinator for my sister’s wedding, and as maid of honor, I worked extremely closely alongside her. Through planning ahead of time, communicating extensively with vendors, and seemingly performing the jobs of 4 people on the weekend-of, I cannot stress enough her professionalism, timely communication, and consistent efforts to solve all problems with a calming energy. As a very anxious and type-A girl, I never thought it possible to comfortably relinquish control!! Joelene was supposed to provide just weekend-of services, but she went so far above and beyond. She responded to my panicked middle-of-the-night emails and text messages so quickly and so calmly. She provided several items from her personal inventory which saved us hundreds of dollars. Her efforts were especially appreciated when dealing with complicated family dynamics - she was able to create an environment for the wedding wherein you’d never know anything was even going on between family members. If you’re hoping for organized, stress-free, and solution-oriented, this is the business for you. I plan to use Joelene for my own wedding in a few years. Cannot recommend her enough.

Initially I intended to plan all of my wedding on my own - and in many ways I did. We were married at the Customs House in Portland, a venue that is a blankslate venue. As I neared the day however, I began to worry that there were aspects of the planning that I overlooked. I hired The Cosmos at their Month-of package level taking all of that worry out of the process. They took care of all of the things I did miss - called out that there was no plan for trash receptacles, revised the number of glasses rented, added bathroom attendants, adjusted the number of staff etc, but an unexpected element (and maybe the most important) is that they helped me to manage difficult family members. They figured out that this is where a lot of my stress was coming from. I was so grateful to their team for minimizing overall stress. I highly recommend!

Hello! I’m Kaileigh, owner of Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC. I established my business in April 2023, and have done over 50 weddings in the last three seasons. I was a teacher for 11 years, so planning and coordinating comes naturally to me. I also ran the hospitality committee at my school. Most importantly, I'm a mom of two amazing, little humans and a wife to a supportive husband. I love to garden, be outside and go adventuring with my kids. In 2023, I took a leap and started my next adventure in the wedding planning industry, and got my wedding planning certificate. I am also a venue coordinator part-time.

Awarded Best of Zola
This one is going to be long because we have so many things to say about this incredible woman. I don’t even know where to start with Kaileigh. We found her on Zola at the early stages of planning and we’re so beyond grateful and thrilled to have had her with us through this journey. She is so incredibly organized, on top of everything, prompt, efficient, kept us on track and so supportive. She is super creative and had so many great ideas that brought our vision to life and made it even better than we imagined. Planning with her was fun, easy and very enjoyable. She was at all of our vendor meetings, asked questions we never thought to ask, and made sure we were happy with everything at every point and was easy to pivot. As we approached our big day, she just continued to blow us away and we felt so much less stress than I think most people probably feel. We knew we were in the best hands with Kaileigh who had our back, knew our vision and who we knew we could count on. Her work can be somewhat chaotic I would imagine, but you’d never be able to tell by looking at her. She is so poised, calm, composed, competent, decisive, efficient, energetic, professional and dynamic. One of my favorite things I noticed working with her is her undeniable joy and love for this industry and what she does. She is in her element and it is clear to anyone who observes her that this is where she belongs. This work fuels her and she invests so much of herself in everything she does. Not only is she so wickedly talented and smart, she is just so kind, sweet, compassionate, funny, lighthearted and just the coolest human. It didn’t take long for us to fall in love with her and just want to be her friend. By the time our rehearsal rolled around, I felt like it was weird that she was just present for the event and not sitting at the table with us! At this point we just considered her our friend and just wanted to hang out and celebrate with her! Going into our wedding day, I felt a sense of calm I never, ever thought I would be able to experience. I’m a person that struggles with anxiety, I feel overwhelmed, I overthink and worry about everything and I was convinced I would be beside myself with stress and anxiety on my wedding day but I was completely fine.. I was calm and was able to enjoy my preparation, spending time with my girls and just relax. That is 1000% thanks to Kaileigh. I knew everything was being handled and I trusted her judgement, abilities and knowledge and that it was going to be amazing… and I was right! Walking into this beautiful venue with all of our visions that came to life right in front of me took my breath away. It was GORGEOUS!! Throughout the night, Kaileigh continued to keep everything running smoothly. I needed her quite a few times for different things and she was never far and always ready for whatever it was. She even helped me out of my wedding dress and into a reception dress in tiny stall with barely enough room for one person, let alone two… which tells you the level of comfort one builds with a person like Kaileigh. It was like my sister or my best friend helping me out. She was everywhere all at once and never broke a sweat. We’ve gotten nothing but absolutely raving compliments on her from our friends and family that attended. Everyone noticed how expertly she put this wedding together and how it all went off so perfectly. We are so thankful for her. Do yourself this favor and book Kaileigh for your most important day.

Cassie and her team were absolutely incredible throughout our entire wedding planning process and on our wedding day on July 18th! From the start of working with Cassie about 3 months before our wedding, she was such a valuable resource. She joined vendor calls, answered countless questions, provided thoughtful guidance, and helped us navigate so many decisions along the way. Cassie always made us feel supported, informed, and confident that everything was coming together exactly as it should. When our wedding day arrived, I truly don’t know how we would have gotten through it without her. From the moment the day began, she was on top of every detail—keeping us on schedule, coordinating with vendors, and making sure everyone was exactly where they needed to be, exactly when they needed to be there. Cassie and her team also did an amazing job setting up all of the décor we brought. When I walked into the reception space for the first time, everything looked perfect. It was exactly how I would have envisioned and arranged it myself. The greatest part of working with Cassie, was that she allowed us to fully relax and be present on our wedding day. I never once had to worry about the logistics happening behind the scenes because I knew she had everything under control. That peace of mind allowed us to truly enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Now that my husband and I have had some time to reflect on our wedding, we keep finding ourselves talking about how amazing Cassie and her team were. We feel so grateful that we found Ros&Co. Without a doubt, they played one of the biggest roles in making our wedding day such a success and ensuring everything ran seamlessly. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is thoughtful, organized, professional, sincere, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, I cannot recommend Ros&Co highly enough. Hiring Cassie was one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day even better than we imagined.

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.

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
From our first conversation with Victoria at Mayflower Events, we knew we had found the right planner for us. She listened carefully to what we wanted and sent over a detailed spreadsheet that kept everything organized throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, Victoria handled all the setup and communication behind the scenes, which let my partner and I actually enjoy the moment instead of stressing about details. Our vision would not have come together without her help, and honestly, both my family and our florist are still talking about how great she was. Victoria's thoughtful approach and clear guidance made the whole experience feel seamless from start to finish. We cannot recommend Mayflower Events highly enough.

The stars aligned when I became a wedding planner and coordinator. Through my professional skills, I ensure that my couple's dream day comes to life. I have a knack for remaining calm, cool, and collected during the height of potentially stressful situations. My favorite moment of a couple's day is when they hit the dance floor to let loose and celebrate with their friends and family.

We hired Lauren / LfG Co. to plan our wedding and couldn't have been happier with our decision. From start to finish, Lauren was responsive and flexible with our ideas, and she worked diligently through ambiguity around our uncertainty when needed. She handled some bespoke needs from our end around renting arcade machines for the reception, and she did great working with the vendor on load in and out logistics. She was extremely prepared throughout the process, and she shared detailed planning docs that helped us stay on top of our details and organized as the date grew closer. She was never flustered or impatient as we thought through options, and ran with an idea if we weren't feeling strongly. On the wedding day, she did a great job setting up all of our personal touches around the venue, making QR codes for our uber vouchers visible in high-traffic areas, setting up escort cards, and keeping us feeling the event was in great handles while we enjoyed our night. Lauren was an invaluable partner and we gladly recommend her for any event.

I cannot say enough incredible things about Erin. Above and beyond does not begin to cover it! Look no further for any of your wedding planning needs. We hired Erin for our month of coordinator almost 2 years in advance. From the beginning, she was very responsive, informative, kind, and helpful. I am pretty organized, and she consistently thought of questions I didn't! I was very impressed with her demeanor with myself and the rest of our vendors. Our venue required a pre-approved coordinator, and Erin took the steps to contact them to make sure she would work out, and we are so glad she did! She did everything she said she would and then some. She reached out to all of our vendors, worked with us on our timeline (many times!), attended our rehearsal, and never got frustrated even when we had a lot going on. Erin felt more like a friend than a coordinator, and we are so happy we got to spend our special day with her. Our day went so smoothly from start to finish, and we know this is due to Erin's impeccable attention to detail. If you are looking to have an incredible day with a crisp timeline and no stress - Erin is your gal!

We are passionate about helping couples feel calm, confident, and supported on their wedding day.

Whether it is handling vendor questions, keeping everything on schedule, or solving issues before they reach you, we take care of the details so you can focus on what really matters as you celebrate with the people who mean the most to you.

Jon was the perfect officiant for our wedding. From the start, he took the time to get to know us and really understand what we wanted. He created a ceremony that felt true to who we are, with just the right mix of meaning and warmth. His delivery was calm, thoughtful, and heartfelt. Guests kept telling us how personal and memorable it felt. Jon made us feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. We could not have asked for anything more.
