“We had the BEST time celebrating my besties bachelorette weekend in Nashville, and Heather from Front Porch absolutely knocked it out of the park! The “Margs & Matrimony” and “Boot Scoot & Boogie” themes were so fun and perfectly captured the Nashville bachelorette vibe. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and made the weekend feel extra special. The custom balloon arch was definitely a standout! It was absolutely gorgeous and made the perfect backdrop for pictures. You could tell so much time and creativity went into making everything feel personalized to our group.”

“We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!”

“We worked with Melannie from VW Events & Co. for partial planning beginning about six months before our wedding, as well as day-of coordination. Overall, we had a positive experience and are very grateful for the amount of stress she took off our plates throughout the planning process. Leading up to the wedding, Melannie was responsive, communicative, and incredibly helpful. She created our day-of timeline, communicated with vendors, attended meetings when requested, helped with logistics, and asked questions we never would have thought of ourselves. She also did a great job running our rehearsal. She took charge, coordinating with our pastor, walking everyone through the timeline/processional, and answering questions from our bridal party. Our biggest disappointment was the communication and coordination immediately before the ceremony. Our bridal suite was separate from the main venue, and there was very little communication with the bride and bridesmaids once Melannie arrived. When our photography timeline began running behind, there seemed to be some confusion about where the bride should be and when we should move to the venue. We were brought over too early, which left the bride waiting outside in a golf cart in 86-degree weather while guests were arriving, then being moved into the kitchen while catering and the bar were setting up. There also wasn't a chair available until one was requested just a few minutes before walking down the aisle. We had assumed there would naturally be a plan for where the bride could comfortably and privately wait before the ceremony, so we wish this portion of the day had been better coordinated and communicated. That being said, once the ceremony began, everything ran very smoothly. One thing we especially appreciated was Melannie giving us about five minutes completely alone immediately after the ceremony to take everything in as newlyweds. That small moment truly meant so much to us. The reception also ran smoothly overall, and she was attentive to the timeline, helped keep our vendors coordinated, and assisted with cleanup at the end of the night. Melannie was always kind and knew when to be firm when the situation called for it. Having her there allowed us to carry much less of the logistical stress ourselves and helped us stay calm and enjoy our wedding day. We would recommend Melannie and VW Events & Co., while also encouraging couples, especially those with a separate getting-ready space, to have a detailed conversation beforehand about day-of communication and where the bride and bridal party will be immediately before the ceremony. As someone with a Type B brain but a Type A personality, I found having a coordinator absolutely worth it! Having someone who could step in and essentially be another “brain” for us throughout the planning process and wedding day was incredibly valuable. We are thankful for everything Melannie did to help bring our day together and especially appreciate all of her support during the months leading up to our wedding.”

“I bumped into Corinne and Meghan working at a friend’s wedding a few years ago. The wedding was beautiful and ran so smoothly. I kept their business cards handy because I knew they were the exact team I needed to help me execute my big day. They were one of the first emails I sent after I became engaged and hired them to be my day of coordinator. I worked with Corinne and she was amazing from the get-go. She was so great with communication through calls and emails right from the beginning and made sure that I was on target to have everything done before the big weekend. She made sure no detail, no matter how small, didn’t slip through the cracks. The big day went so smoothly and I have Corinne and Shawfield to thank. All I had to do was make sure the linens were on the table and Corinne did the rest to set up the reception area. The most meaningful request of the evening came when I ripped my bustle while making our grand entrance at the reception. I panicked internally, but Corinne came to the rescue and spent time hand stitching the dress back together to make sure it was comfortable the rest of the evening. When I tell you that she went above and beyond, I truly mean that. You can’t hire a better duo to help with your big day.”

Hey, I'm Brooklyn! I'm 24 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me thrifting, reading a romance novel, or sipping a fun drink. I graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. Before BRB, I worked closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies to bring hundreds of *fairytale weddings* to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own! I'm so honored to have had the opportunity to work with so many incredible couples & vendors around the world.

“Booking Brooklyn was the single best decision we made in this entire wedding. We got married at The Madison in Cleveland on September 6, 2026, and from the first planning session to our last dance, Brooklyn had it handled. As a health professional, I thought I was organized, but Brooklyn… wow…. She is unbelievable. Unfailingly calm, consistent and somehow always three steps (not just one!) ahead of whatever was about to come up. Any vendor question, any timeline shift, any small detail we forgot about, she had already thought through it. When our original officiant situation fell apart, Brooklyn stepped in and officiated herself, and she made it feel like that had been the plan all along. The ceremony was warm, personal, and completely us. There wasn’t a single dry eye after the wonderful ceremony she led. Did I mention she was literally our florist as well? What can’t she do. What stood out most was how much pressure she absorbed. She coordinated with all of our vendors so we barely had to, she kept the day running on schedule without ever making it feel rushed, and on the wedding day she gave us the one thing you can’t buy: the ability to actually be present at our own wedding. A present we are both going to be grateful for forever. Michaela and I never once felt like a transaction. Brooklyn and her team genuinely cared about our day, and it showed in everything that they did. If you are getting married, hire Brooklyn. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“J's Elevated Dreams was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, the communication was timely, and we immediately hit it off, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. Jennifer is incredibly smart, hard working, and she was able to solve any problems before we even knew they existed. She paid close attention to all the small details and provided us with the most wonderful checklist. Also, her organization of our documents, contracts, and timelines, allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding day. We were able to put our complete trust in her decisions, and she seamlessly drove the wedding day we had crafted together. I would highly recommend J's Elevated Dreams to anyone planning an event or wedding - she truly helped create the wedding of our dreams. We feel so lucky to have worked with Jennifer and her team!”

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.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Mallory on a wedding at the Grand Rapids Art Museum, with the reception held at McKay Ballroom. To say I’d gladly work alongside her again is an understatement. Mallory is truly an essential part of any wedding dream team. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she carries herself with a calm, collected professionalism throughout every stage of the day. When last-minute timeline changes came up, she handled them with grace and efficiency, helping everything run smoothly without a hitch. The day simply wouldn’t have been the same without her guidance and expertise. I now recommend her to all of my clients and would be thrilled to work with her on future events. She’s the kind of person you want by your side on a wedding day—I can’t wait to collaborate again!”
