Kind, grounded, and thorough
Hiring Justine from Mills Memories was one of the very best decisions we made for our weekend-long, camp-themed wedding. She brought such a calming, grounded presence to what could have been a chaotic planning process. From our first conversation, she helped us focus on the things that truly mattered and reassured us about the things we didn’t need to worry about. Justine was super flexible and was able to come help us a day early (staying overnight from Friday through Saturday) and thank goodness she did. In all of our interactions, she was tuned into our vision, asked thoughtful questions, and never once pushed her own ideas. Instead, she helped us bring our version of the weekend to life. She has an incredible mind for logistics, including very practical safety considerations we would’ve never thought of ourselves. She saved us money with simple, smart suggestions, and helped everything run smoothly so we could actually relax and enjoy our guests. My only regret is not starting to work with her sooner. If you want someone who is calm, capable, kind, and truly invested in helping you create the wedding you imagined, we cannot recommend Justine enough.
Great experience!
Hiring Justine as our “month of” coordinator was SUCH a phenomenal choice. I spent the the day of my wedding completely immersed with my friends, family, and husband. No one asked me a single question, Justine checked in with me to make sure I had everything I needed but she never intruded, I never saw her sweat, and I never knew anything was amiss. I only know that she put out about twelve metaphorical fires because my best friend spilled the secrets a few days later. Justine is diplomatic, serene, and a true professional. She won’t tell you what to do, but if you tell her what you want she will make your dreams come true.
Response from vendor•Nov 8, 2025Esther, you were such a joy to work with. You have no idea how many times you made me smile and laugh during this journey. All I wanted was to make sure that you, Jeff and your guests had the best time. Putting out fires was no stress at all - lol at your best friend spilling the tea! Your lovely vendors made great partners to pull the weekend off. I'm looking forward to seeing you and Jeff thrive in the days and years to come. Congratulations, my friend!Wonderful planner in the Kerhonkson area!
Mills Memories was a great addition to our wedding planning experience. Throughout the process, Justine demonstrated a thorough, clear, and accessible communication style that put me at ease. She was thoughtful, caring, and made me feel heard—going above and beyond to bring our vision to life. I was grateful for her support and flexibility—she truly seemed invested in making our special day the best it could be.
Response from vendor•Oct 22, 2025Michelle, I'm so happy that you and Tim were able to relax and fully enjoy your weekend. Your family and friends were lovely but you were the highlight of the day. It was truly a pleasure to work with my fellow vendors to help bring your vision to life. If you're ever back in the area, let me know - it's hiking season! Congratulations, again!Couldn’t have done it without her!
My wife and I had many dreams of DIYing and doing things ourselves. Our venue added a clause that we needed a day of coordinator so we went on a search hoping to just meet the new venue requirement. Little did we know that we were going to stumble upon one of the biggest blessings we had while planning our wedding. Justine, head contact at mills memories, was a life saver from the very first meeting! Extremely relatable and took the time to get to know us and immediately started to help our dreams come true. I quickly realized I was in over my head and was so grateful we hired someone with experience and professionalism. Justine made sure we had a timeline that was seamless, assisted me questions for my other vendors and came up with many solutions when things came up. The title day of coordinator did not fit Justine; she assisted well beyond that! The day of our wedding we didn’t worry about a thing! We couldn’t recommend her services enough! 10/10
Response from vendor•Oct 22, 2025Margaret!!! You and Amira were the most warming couple. You two are officially my sisters and I'm so glad that I was able to bring some comfort and happy memories to your day. It was a joy to hold both of your dads' hand and talk with them before they went to walk you two down the aisle. They stood there in tears and that is a moment I will never forget. Thank you for bringing me along on your journey. I wish you two many many years to come!
