Grateful for O'Neil Events!
Choosing O'Neil Events for our day of coordination was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. We worked with Colleen and her presence and expertise were so valuable to us. From the beginning of the process, she was a fast responder, readily available, and organized all the details with our vendors for us. The weekend of went so incredibly smoothly. She was quick to offer solutions and insured everything was in place without us having to worry or ask. For example, at the end of the night, she had already gathered our card box, signage, and ceremony material and safely placed them in our room so we didn't have to worry about it and we got to say our goodbyes to our guests. Thank you for your work! We couldn't have done it without you!

Best decision of my wedding!!!!!!!
Hands down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding two weeks ago. I worked with Christina from O’Neil Events and she was truly exceptional. My family, friends, my husband, and I are still talking about how resourceful, thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring she is. There really aren’t enough words to capture the magic she brought to our day. I booked partial planning about six weeks before the wedding, and to be honest, I was overwhelmed with last-minute guest changes and all the small details. Christina and her assistant stepped in seamlessly and took over in the best way. They coordinated everything, helped set up and pack up all of our items, checked in on my family, kept everything organized, and made sure the entire day flowed effortlessly. The weather was beautiful but incredibly windy, and as I was walking down the aisle, my veil actually flew off. I felt so vulnerable in that moment, and Christina calmly caught it and gently placed it back on me without missing a beat. It was such a small gesture, but it meant everything. Later in the day, she even helped me with my feet when my heels were killing me. I’m honestly a little embarrassed she had to do that, but it just speaks to how kind, quick-thinking, and genuinely caring she is. A true lifesaver. Everyone still can’t stop talking about how amazing the wedding was. Some of my family and friends had previously had bad experiences with wedding planners, but Christina completely changed their perspective. She won them over instantly, and now they all wish they had worked with her. Thank you again, Colleen, for connecting us with Christina. We truly could not have done this without her.
Colleen Phillips•May 3, 2026Thank you Hannah for trusting us with such an important day! We really enjoyed getting to know you and your family, and we are honored to be a part of the happiness!

Simply the Best
Simply could not recommend O'Neil Events, and specifically our planner Christina Sin more highly. My venue connected me with Colleen initially and from our initial phone call I felt immediately at ease. Wedding planning is stressful, no way around that, but even though we had only booked O'Neil for a month-of package, she stayed in touch periodically from the minute we signed on. When Christina, our coordinator took over, it was like a major weight was taken off my shoulders. My entire wedding party and family were immediately put at ease by Christina, as were the other vendors. Christina was endlessly calm and kept a permanent smile throughout the process, keeping track of every detail and making sure that I really could sit back and enjoy the day almost like a guest at my own wedding. When I forgot to grab my change of shoes for the reception, she actually drove back herself to the hotel to bring them to me. She was ever present, but also hung back to let us live in the moment. After the wedding, Christina packed everything up with care and inventoried everything we needed to pick up from the venue. She was indispensable, and yet made it all look easy. I couldnt recommend O'Neil Events more and particularly Christina - thank you for giving the absolute wedding weekend of our dreams.

AMAZING Service!!
INCREDIBLE! Colleen was a dream to work with. Starting with our prep phone calls 6 weeks out, Colleen kept everything on track so I could actually enjoy the wedding planning process. She has a vast knowledge of experience, an eye for detail, and is completely unflappable. When my caterer showed up with one bar set up instead of two, she rearranged the layout on the fly to make everything work. She is kind, positive, and a calming presence. I would not have been able to be so deeply present and enjoy my wedding so much without her. My wife and I agree this was the best money we spent. Hire her! :)
Colleen Phillips•Feb 17, 2026You are amazing! What a great day and so excited to have met your special little guy!

Stress-Free Wedding Thanks to O'Neil Events
We had Colleen and Yvi as our month of coordinator, and they were amazing! Colleen helped us nail down the timeline and was always one step ahead, taking care of things before we even realized we needed help. During the day of, Yvi communicated with everyone: vendors, guests, the bridal party; and made sure everything ran smoothly without a hitch. If you're looking for someone who can keep everything on track and handle all the details without you stressing, we highly recommend O'Neil Events. They were a total game changer for our big day!
